Most reviews of Makassar hotels left me with low expectations so I was surprised that Santika was a decent choice. Decor of rooms: simple, and modern. Cleanliness: Depends. My first room was clean but due to noise from a neighbor with an adjoining door, I moved to another room and the sheets clearly hadn't been changed. I asked for new sheets, no hassle. Noise: Ask for a room without the adjoining door. Smoking: There is a non-smoking floor and rooms but especially with smoking allowed in the rest of the hotel, the smoke smell comes through when the AC is on. Without the AC, there's no ventilation in the room. Breakfast: Good selection of Indonesian and enough Western fare. Western breakfast items are usually rare in smaller Indonesian hotels so I was pleasantly surprised. Location: Five minute walk to "Losari Beach" and twentyfive minutes or so walk to Fort Rotterdam. TV: HBO/FOX Movies Premium, news, local channels. Service: Efficiently dealt with any questions/concerns I raised.
