Horison Samarinda

Everything is perfect! Service is fantastic. The gym is superb. Room is fantastic. Breakfast is fantastic! All the staff are very hospitable. Too bad I only stayed for one night. I stayed at Junior Suite.

This is a 3-star hotel that consistently performs at a 4-star level — easily one of the best hotels in Indonesia, and definitely my top choice whenever I’m in East Borneo. Whether you’re traveling solo, with family, or for business, Horison Hotel Samarinda has everything you need. This is my third time staying here, and the service keeps getting better every time. The rooms are spacious, super clean, and very comfortable. The air conditioning works perfectly, and an extra bed fits easily when needed. It’s rare for a 3-star hotel to provide a mini fridge and a water heater in the room, but Horison does — another reason why it feels more like a 4-star experience. The bathroom is spacious too, with a good hot water system for showers. I’ve also tried their swimming pool and spa, both of which were clean, well-maintained, and staffed by friendly, helpful people. One of the highlights of this hotel is the Santan Restaurant — hands down one of the best hotel restaurants I’ve experienced. It’s deliciously vegetarian-friendly, and most of the time, even vegan-friendly. The dishes aren’t oily, they're allergy-friendly, and there’s a good variety that caters to different dietary needs. Plus, it’s HALAL. I would love to see a wider selection of fruits and nuts in the future, but honestly, I’d happily eat here not just for breakfast, but for lunch and dinner if available. Even if you’re not staying at the hotel, the restaurant is worth a visit. The hotel’s location is also excellent — within walking distance to many local attractions and conveniences. My only suggestion would be to consider expanding the parking area, as the hotel’s growing popularity means more guests with cars. Overall, Horison Samarinda is a hidden gem with so much potential, and I’ll definitely be staying here again on my next visit to Samarinda.

The room is clean and cozy. Besides, I enjoyed the cake and pastry. Temperature of the pool is comfortable, not too cold. I suggest some improvement on the main menu, especially for those who stay more than a day. Terima kasih, mas Abdul Hamid.
