Toraja Misiliana Hotel

We stayed 5 nights in this hotel. We really wanted to explore Tana Toraja. You are welcomed with a drink at the large open air reception area. A porter immediately tales care of your luggage. This hotel is setup in a very lush atmosphere. The first thing you will notice are the tongkonan houses in the center area. Besides that there are a lot of trees and even small sawa’s. Our room was on the upper floor of a building that has two rooms. There is a terrace with two chairs that are not comfortable. There is room has the size of a standard hotel room. Albeit that there is a joining side room with a closet and room to stuff your bags and such. Furniture is oke. There is a refrigerator that does a decent job, as does the airco. There is coffee and tea and also a bottle of water. All of this is supplemented each day. But they do forget some items though. The bathroom is spacious enough. The shower works well and the whole bathroom is just that. A bathroom. The whole room, including the bathroom, has the upper part of the windows replaced by mesh. This makes you feel right in the middle of nature. Which is really nice. However, it may also keep you up at night because nature is not quiet! You will hear the frogs in the gardens and the sawa’s the crickets and early morning, all of these are replaced by birds. And this can be quite loud. It didn’t bother us, but just giving you the heads up. We used the pool too. It is oke to cool down, nothing more. Sunbeds are made of iron and that is what your back will feel. Only a few of them. You can get a pooltowel. If you are lucky to find the poolguy around. We had breakfast and dinner here. There aren’t really many other options around that cater for western people that we are. But we thought it all to be really oke. We also used the bar area and it is really great that you can enjoy a late afternoon drink, after a full day away. Although we went in the “dry season” we were still treated to some serious showers in the afternoon. The hotel has large chinese hats to use to keep dry and they work remarkably well. This hotel is not super luxurious. It is, however, a really decent upper level tourist class hotel. Apparently also in demand by Indonesian government officials too, as we saw parties having dinner here. We enjoyed our stay. We can recommend this hotel but be aware there can be shortcomings. But, this is Indonesia. If this review was helpful to you, please vote “helpful”, so I know I was of help to you. Enjoy Tana Toraja!

Hotel caratteristico, molto bello ma andrebbe ristrutturato. Male invece il servizio ristorazione: non all’altezza della struttura, poca scelta e servizio scarso e lento. Personale dell’accoglienza invece molto disponibile e professionale. Vale la pena soggiornare qui e mangiare altrove.

À l’arrivée le charme opère. Grand hall entièrement ouvert. Les jardins sont là et les célèbres maisons Toraja aussi. Arrivés dans la chambre style bungalow vers la piscine, je découvre des crottes de souris sur la nappe blanche de la table mais aussi sur l’étagère où se trouve la cafetière ainsi que sur le seuil de la sdb. Sdb très vétuste et lavabo plein de fourmis. C’est très sombre et vieillot. De gros travaux de rénovation sont indispensables. De nombreux commentaires en parlent aussi. Nous décidons de repartir immédiatement. Je ne me vois pas dormir dans une chambre avec des souris. Heureusement notre guide était encore présent à l’accueil. Il a expliqué à la réceptionniste que nous ne restions pas et pourquoi. Elle a eu l’air de dire que les souris ce n’était pas si grave. Nous avons eu une chance extraordinaire de trouver une chambre à l’hôtel SANTAY qui est un petit bijoux, une pépite.

Hotel a prima vista è molto bello ed è dotato di un bel bar e un ristorante. All’ingresso ci sono le costruzioni tipiche di Sulawesi e in fondo una grande piscina. Le camere sono abbastanza belle ma ci sono molti difetti tipo l’acqua che scende poco, il lavandino mezzo rotto, pochi interruttori, la televisione che non prende i canali e wi-fi che funziona ad intermittenza. Anche la colazione non è il massimo.

Bel accueil dans un joli hall. Personnel agréable et attentionné Joli jardin avec des constructions typiques du pays Toraja. Côté piscine, elle ne paraît pas très nette d’autant que des enfants s’y baignent habillés. Côté chambre pourrait être mieux, un peu vieillot et mal insonorisé. Lumière blafarde voire inoppérente pour lire au lit. Literie confortable, Notons un garagiste face à l’hôtel très gênant faisant vrombir des moteurs. Côté restaurant parfait, buffets copieux, variés et d’excellente qualité. Une chanteuse à la voix superbe et agréable accompagne les repas.

morning view from the hotel when the sky is bright is beautiful. The bed and pillow arent comfortable but the room is huge with a big bath room, big mirror and wardrobe area. The tv channel didnt work but the wifi was OK, so I was saved. Most of the guests are foreigner.
