Excellent Value Stay in a Convenient Yet Cozy Location
I had a very pleasant stay at S Loft Hotel in Manado. The hotel is located in a convenient downtown area, making it easy to access restaurants, shops, and transportation. At the same time, it sits along a relatively less congested road, so the overall atmosphere inside the property feels calm and cozy despite being in the city center.
Considering the price point, this hotel offers outstanding value. While you shouldn’t expect luxury-level furnishings or perfect in-room fixtures at this rate, I would confidently say that it is one of the best options available within the ~$20 range. The room was comfortable enough for a short stay and thoughtfully designed to maximize limited space.
One interesting feature is the convertible desk, which is clever for space efficiency. However, it may not be suitable for placing heavy items, so that’s something to keep in mind if you’re traveling with substantial equipment or luggage.
A minor drawback is that some motorcycle noise can still be heard at night. It wasn’t overwhelming, but light sleepers may want to prepare accordingly.
Overall, S Loft Hotel is an excellent budget-friendly choice in Manado, offering a cozy environment, strong location advantages, and great value for money. I would consider staying here again for a short visit.
