The receptionist also helpful.But the condition of the room, facility, is NOT ACCEPTABLE for the price of 200k - 300k rupiah.At the moment, please seek other hotel that provide much more comfort to the guest.Is not acceptable, worst stay so far in Aceh.

First time going to Aceh, and yesterday from the airport went straight to this hotel to spend the night. Because today we will continue our journey to the highlands of Aceh. Standard rooms for the city of Banda Aceh. But the hot water service is not on. The AC is cold enough. And the menu for a standard Acehnese breakfast, not bad for those of you who want to spend the night in the city of Banda Aceh.
