Istanaku Guesthouse 2 Manado

best quality price in manado excellent costumer service from the people working there.indonesian or western breakfast buffet

The hotel is reasonably priced. The breakfast is mediocre. However, for this price, including breakfast, this hotel is a good deal in Manado. The rooms are clean, everything works, and nothing is broken. In short, the maintenance is good. Most Western tourists come for Bunaken. They constantly count prices in euros and dollars, resulting in almost anybody in Manado treating Western tourists as cash. This hotel offers car excursions for ridiculously high prices, such as Rp 850,000 per person, while a price of around Rp 700,000 for a car with a driver would be normal. If four Western tourists go on a day trip, they would pay 4 x Rp 850,000 = Rp 3.4 million. The average monthly salary in Indonesia is approximately Rp 3.8 million. In short, Manadonese people should understand that by offering motor cycles and cars for rent and offering excursions at reasonable prices, they can sell much more than by selling excursions to a single tourist at ridiculously high prices. Because I speak Indonesian well, I can arrange a car with driver through the locals for a normal price, but this should simply be offered to Western tourists through hotels.

I really nice guesthouse, the attention was excellent and the room was nice and clean.

Great hotel, very inexpensive for what you get. Rooms very clean and comfortable, staff very helpful, and much better than the other options in Manado

Nice hotel, definitely worth it and very helpful staff! Been here twice and will book again! Recommend it :-) Breakfast is indonesian style and across the street in the cafe.

Warm welcome in this guesthouse. The staff is super friendly, help you as much as they can and always give you a hello and smile! The room was clean, not too warm (air conditioning), amenities are available (soap for hands and body), bottle can be filled with water (filtered water). Breakfast is simple but good (buffet) with coffee and tea available.
