Permata Hotel — Hotel in Jayapura

There are two things that I liked about this hotel, it’s location and the fast WiFi in the lobby (the fastest it can get in such a remote place). The rest I didn’t like so much. From the outside it looks like it’s ok and even the lobby/restaurant and the front desk didn’t look so bad, but once we were in the room we understood why there are so many bad comments about this hotel. It is one of the cheapest hotels in Jayapura, so if you’re on a budget it might be the best option for you. A night is like 300,000 IDR for the most basic room type.||||We had a room on the third level, there is no elevator. The room had a weird smell, like mold with something else, so if you have allergies (like my wife) avoid it at all cost. The bed was comfortable. There is also a TV with a couple of channels in English, air conditioning and wardrobe. The bathroom was the worst thing about the room. The toilet didn’t flush, so we had to use a bucket of water each time we used the bathroom. It is also quite dirty (the cleaning staff could use acid to get rid of the smell and the stains) and we found cockroaches a couple of times. The shower doesn’t have enough water pressure and a bath takes ages. The buffet breakfast included in the rate consists of a couple of Indonesian dishes and bread with different kinds of spreads and jellies. To be honest, I didn’t enjoy it that much although the hotel’s restaurant does have cheap prices and good food. Another important thing, as in all Indonesia, people tend to smoke indoors so the public areas always smell like cigarette smoke. We also arranged through them an early airport transfer and we checked several times that they had scheduled it, but on the day of departure the taxi didn’t arrive so the receptionist had to call someone else. ||||If I ever go back to Jayapura I would probably end up staying at this hotel, but only because it is the cheapest and a good WiFi connection is very important to me (for my job). The staff is helpful and nice, although not all of them speak English so communication can be quite...

I stayed at this hotel for two nights last week. From the moment I unlocked the door I was hit with a strong mould smell that practically knocked me back out of the room. The room was still being cleaned when we booked so they much had known about the mould but they never told us. The sheets might have been clean but the walls and bathroom appeared dirty to me to the point I didn’t want to touch anything, including the bed. The reason why I stayed two nights was because I had been traveling, changing hotels almost every night for weeks and I was over changing hotels so I hoped airing the room out would help with the mould smell. I had to leave the air con running on the lowest setting and the exhaust in the bathroom on as well as spraying some deodorant to make the room smell a bit nicer. Having been through Bali I had a couple of P2 masks for the volcano and I used one of them for a while when I went to sleep to try to minimize how much mould I was breathing in. It was uncomfortable to sleep so I took it off. Next morning I had a sore throat and a cough from the mould in the room. I still have a bad chest. The staff need to make sure they clean the room and do something about the mould. Guests can’t stay in rooms covered in toxic mould. ||I don’t know about WiFi because nobody told me there was WiFi and they certainly never provided the password. No, I didn’t ask about the password because I didn’t know WiFi was an option. ||I’m also not sure if there was breakfast. With the room being so dirty I didn’t want to trust the cleanliness of the kitchen. ||I stayed in many hotels in both Sorong and Jayapura over several weeks and I have to say this was the worst hotel I...
