Novotel Lombok

"My wife, six year old daughter and I have stayed at several 4* hotels in Bali and Lombok over the last two years. We would rate this hotel as the best we have stayed in. Comparable in price to other Lombok hotels and far cheaper than Bali. We chose the basic Superior room and paid only US$58 a night including the most sumptious breakfast you could imagine. As the advertised price was US$120 the Hoteltravel price was a bargain. Design-wise it is a magnificent blend of artistic design and traditonal Sasak architecture. The bathroom area was finished in terrazzo which provided a really clean gap-free surface unlike many other tiled bathrooms. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and as in many places in Indonesia, always ready to smile and laugh, and especially fond of children. The restaurant food was delicious and really well presented. The menu prices did not include a 20% tax which most hotels include in the price. We, however, usually opted to eat out at a different local restaurant each night. The food was far cheaper and also spreads money through the local community. Just a few minutes to Kuta, we managed to get a return trip with our local driver waiting for 30000rp. At Novotel, a Large Bintang beer was 29000 rp which is well above most other hotels. Kidsclub was adhoc and equipment was very basic. "Scheduled" activities were not carried out. It is a beautiful location, lovely beach, warm clear water for swimming. We found the beach sellers very insistent a"

"A Fantastic hotel, set in beautiful surroundings and with brilliant staff, who all treat you so well that every day is a perfect holiday--3 visits made --and more to come we hope!"
