The main reason I booked this hotel was because it is part of an international hotel chain and is rated as a 4-star property. However, I was very surprised by the building condition and the quality of the renovations.
What made this even more disappointing is that the hotel has been open for less than a year. Given that it is a newly opened property, I expected everything to be in excellent condition. Instead, I felt that the hotel was not fully completed and may have been opened in a rush. There were still many areas that appeared unfinished and in need of touch-ups and further renovation work.
Another issue was the shower’s hot water supply, which was very unstable. Even after setting the temperature to a comfortable level, the water would frequently fluctuate between hot and cold without warning. At times, it became unexpectedly too hot or too cold, making the shower experience quite unpleasant.
Overall, my stay was disappointing. The hotel’s condition and facilities did not meet the standards I would expect from a 4-star international hotel, especially one that has been operating for less than a year.
The location is fantastic, right in the heart of the city center. It's a 5-minute walk to the Catholic Church and Kaisar Supermarket. The famous Ah Xiang Coffee Shop is also within walking distance.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
HARRIS Hotel Pontianak scores with a good location, friendly staff and an overall solid package. The public areas look modern and well maintained, and both check‑in and check‑out were efficient and helpful.
The point deduction is for the bed: the linens were freshly made but had visible stains, and the mattress underneath was clearly soiled – this is where the hotel urgently needs to improve its quality standards. With spotless bedding and a renewed or thoroughly cleaned mattress, this property would easily be a 5‑star choice within its category for me.

This hotel boasts an excellent location, within walking distance of the city center's main shopping areas. The rooms are clean and tidy, well-equipped, and the staff are professional and responsive. Breakfast offers a wide variety of choices, and overall, the stay was very pleasant. The only minor downsides were the average soundproofing and slow elevators during peak hours. Overall, it's very suitable for business trips.
Saat hari pertama mengalaminkenocoran ac tiba2 ac tidak dingin , tapi langsung di ganti kamar dan ************* sangat puas bersih dingin dan baik pelayanan juga resepsionisnya
A great stay. Breakfast is variety. Can get access to e hailing. Very close to shopping mall also pasar. Also very near to universities. There's a small kiosk that sells local products n including handicrafts. Worth the stay.
Simple business hotel but convenient to move around. Rooms need a bit of refurbishment but it's ok. Overall, satisfied with the room. Staffs are helpful and interactive. Walking distance to a local laundry shop. Not a bad option.
worth every penny for a short stay during vacation and walking distance to get food around.. also nice rooftop bars where you can chill and listen to live performance.

GGuest UserThe location is a bit remote. The room facilities are very old. The disposable slippers are all worn. You can ask the front desk to change them for you. The service is OK. The breakfast is also good. A simple buffet can be chosen. A deposit is required for accommodation, which is not mentioned in the introduction.
EE3TRIPThe room is spacious and clean. The staff very helpful and friendly. The location is one location with Singkawang Grand Mall, but far from the city.
JJennyffer GouMy stay is quite good. Neo have good Aircon that comfort a lot in Pontianak hot whether. I got smoking room in the day 1 but they immediately switch to non smoking room once available, thanks to mbak Mala that help me a lot during my stay. Keep your hospitality on 👍

AAustrian_saverBe careful! if you don't want to listen to a night club daily until 2am, feel the base vibrations through the walls and bed (earplugs don't help), smell the strong ciragettes aroma, listen to the elevator tune in the lobby as the are no sound insulation what so ever. Listen to the street noise.
Better avoid staying in this hotel.
Cleanliness were OK for an Indonesian establishment.
P.S.
When checked in, we were placed into a tiny room without windows on the 3rd floor.
As I've seen from other travellers, it could be tactics used to upsell for a more expensive room.
We had specifically selected a non smoking and quiet room while booking.
The room STANK of ciragettes! And loud music could be heard after 8pm, so the reception gave a different room quickly, only mentioning it should be a paid for upgrade.
LliuzhilongThe man on frontdesk so low attitude , and mood swing , haven't a good hospitality ; the room is large but a little old , the hotel located in central of the city ; near with coffee street , ”Ligo” supermarket walking around 10 minutes, and flamboyan traditional market nearest by walking 5 minutes 😊 overall the breakfast so good simple but complete •
