Sallo Hotel Sengkang

Good hotel in case you have to stay in Sengkang.

Parfait pour un passage d’une nuut. Chambre moderne impeccablement tenue et très propre. Peesonnel attentionné et aimable maîtrisant peu l’anglais. Petit déjeuner abondant.

Hotel situé dans le centre près du mail Sallo. Bel extérieur coloré qui laisse penser que l'hôtel pourrait être récent mais ce n'est pas vraiment le cas. Les + : - Grande chambre très simplement aménagée - Calme et insonorisation satisfaisante - Petit déjeuner copieux et varié sous forme de buffet Les - : - SDB en mauvaise état à refaire aux plus vite - Anglais parlé par la réceptionniste de jour et le directeur Hotel qui mérite quelques rafraîchissements mais qui comporte aussi de nombreux points positifs d'ou la note de 4 / 5

Sengkang is a common stopover for anyone traveling from the far south (Makassar or Bira) to Toraja to cut the long journey into half. We were no exception in that sense, but were struggling to pick a place to stay, as most accomodation seemed a bit too basic or too "local" for us. In the end, the Sallo hotel was a good choice, it is right next to a big mall in a rather commercial area. We were struggling a bit to find a good place for dinner, as some restaurants shown on the map apparently didn't exist. But the streets are not too busy to walk around and in the end we found a nice open-air café with food and music up the hill. The hotel seems to be popular for weddings and big celebrations, so be prepared to walk into a crowed of dressed-up people who also may want to take a picture with you. Staff was nice, but did not speak so much English, but as the Wifi is good, any translater app will do the trick if needed. Breakfast was nice, enough choices for different preferences and checkout is usually at 12 which allows you do to a morning boat trip at the lake which is also one of the main reasons to stop here in Sengkang. The (bath-)room could use a bit of maintenance, but everything was clean and comfortable. Not a place where you spend many days, but definitely recommended for a stopover!
