Hotels With Bar in West Papua, Indonesia

Walking distance to the Sorong-Waisai ferry, western & local options for the breakfast buffet and great staff. Could be cleaner, the streets are noisy at night & the facilities are getting old. However, I’m not aware of the other options in Sorong… perhaps this one is the best. Do yourself a favor and book the VIP tickets for the ferry!

The location and facilities of Shadian are the best in the same area. It is convenient for traveling, the breakfast is rich, the staff service is first-class, and the hotel provides many travel programs, making it worth visiting again.

This hotel is located in the heart of Manokwari, close to the business and office district and directly adjacent to a shopping mall, making it very convenient for dining, casual meetings, or daily shopping needs. Overall, the rooms are still comfortable by West Papua standards and suitable for a stay of several days for work activities or training. The staff are friendly and helpful, although some rooms still feature an older design.

If you need a place to stay in Sorong because of your flight schedule and ferry schedule to Waisai, I recommend this place to stay. It is only 5 min from airport by car, and 10-15 min from Mall, so you can order food from many options from the mall. There were many variety of breakfast, but I personally did not like any of the food. However, people around me was taking a lot so it must be good for local people.

The hotel has a great location—it's an easy walk from the airport. It's super clean and quiet if you request an interior-view room, since the exterior ones can get a bit noisy. Breakfast focuses mostly on Indonesian food, but they also have eggs, waffles, and toast (though in simple versions). The pool is nice and spacious. For the price and location, it's one of the best options for transit passengers.

Bardzo dobry hotel na krótki pobyt. Dobre śniadanie, Miła i pomocna obsługa. Długo czynny basen na dachu i hotelowa restauracja. Jedyny minus to okolica. Nie ma w pobliżu nic ciekawego, choć wydaje się że to centrum miasta, a do plaży jest dosyć daleko. Restauracje w pobliżu niestety bardzo obskurne, natomiast jest kilka marketów.

I highly recommend Vogelkopf. The rooms are, bright, spacious, clean and nicely designed.. The AC is welcome in this humid climate. The whole property is pleasant and very well maintained. The staff is exceptionally friendly, helpful and efficient. The food is plentiful, varied and healthy; there are extensive vegetable gardens on the property. The coral at the house reef (snorkel the drop off to the right of the jetty) is even more intact than at Kri. The hotel is very convenient as not too far from the ferry terminal and the road becomes rough not long after the hotel. I wish I’d booked another night or two.  

Overall, the place is good. Maybe not the best for foreign tourists. It’s more of a convention place for Indonesians. ATM is 15 minutes away walking. Plastic keys are a bit worn out but the room is very good. A view from my room and from the top floor is fantastic. Location wise maybe it could have been better to be closer to the ferry but a grab ride was only 50000 idr. Service was generally good but there were a number of misunderstandings all of which were resolved.

The staff is very good and friendly. The room is specious. There’s tea, coffee, water, as well as soap and dental kit, there are also shampoo but if you’re care about your hair it’s better to have your own, the only this is missing is hairdryer. The AC and WIFI worked well. Also the breakfast was good with an egg station and a choice of local food, as well as toasts, fruit and sweets.

Breakfast is very good
