We stayed in the Fave Hotel, Makassar, twice in February, 2023. Fave is a modern hotel with all the amenities you need. It is in the Pantai Losari area, very close to the seafront walkway, with multiple neighborhood restaurants and food carts easily available. Though a bit back from the main road, everything is easily accessible. The location was perfect to allow us to explore Makassar either by walking or taking a tuk-tuk (motorized rickshaw - just ask the front desk for recommendations on how much to pay and negotiate that before your trip!) It is a bustling area and is a great spot for experiencing Makassar. The staff was friendly and helpful and had enough English to answer our questions. I often WhatsApp texted with a Fave representative who was quite helpful in arranging our transport to and from the hotel and confirming other arrangements. We upgraded to a sea-view room on an upper floor, and had a spacious bedroom with a secondary attached room with seating and kitchenette. The view over the harbor was really a pleasure. The bed was comfortable, good air conditioning, and there was a hot water kettle for tea or coffee. We enjoyed the Indonesian breakfasts each morning - and they will cook you an egg to order. And when we were too tired to go out again, we had a pleasant lunch in the coffee shop.

The bathroom, however, only had tepid water - not a huge hardship because of the sweltering weather. The location was a bit back from the main area and looked a bit run down, but being off the main street is probably better to decrease the noise from the cars and the entertainment that occurs at the Losari Plaza on the weekend.

This hotel felt like a great value. The location, cleanliness, and comfort exceeded our expectations. Two of the rooms had an amazing view over the waterfront to the 99 dome mosque and beyond. The rooms were spacious, and spotless. Everything worked perfectly. It is a very short walk to one of the more popular sections of the waterfront walkway. It is possible to walk all the way to Ft. Rotterdam and the 99 dome mosque. There are plenty of places to eat in the vicinity. We had a car. Parking was tight but adequate.

The location is perfect. Pantai Losari and boulevard really close. Lots of restaurants and supermarkets. We had a family room with a great view. The room was spacious and clean. There is also a swimmingpool. Massages are given in your room. We will visit this hotel again, during our next stay in Makassar.

For breakfast it was not always easy to find a place to sit inside. Mostly we had to choose a table outside, between smoking people. We are non smokers. There is no fridge in the room. But if you need cool drink the supermarket is just around the corner.

Good location. Reasonable price, good size room. Water refill station in the hall.

If you like a quiet rook I recommend staying away from the elevator and on the opposite side as Losari Beach. They had music every night from 6-11pm at Losari and even in the top floor it was loud enough to hear it well in our room. Other than that we loved our stay. We didn’t take breakfast so can’t comment on that.

Nice, staff very friendly and helpfull. Buffet breakfast was great, lots of variety and always fresh.

One room had a small table and chair but the other didn't. We were there during renovations so had to enter and exit through carpark which was dangerous, holes in the ground and scary for my elderly mother.

Great hotel, large rooms, very good location, great breakfast buffet, large selection of dishes. Pool. I recommend this hotel. The hotel should have 4 stars.

Poor information at the reception about the possibility of visiting interesting places in Makassar, bus connections, etc.

I liked the hotel's efforts to reduce single use plastics by providing filtered water on each floor. I appreciated the cafe/restaurant on the ground floor as the food was good and it was convenient after a long tiring day. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable.

Excellent view of the 99 Mosque from my room. Food is decent & good spread of choice, not too many & not too little. Location is superb, close to everywhere i want to go. Staff are all very courteous & friendly.

None

Best location 1st time check-in in the city of Makasar we choose the correct hotel There is plenty of street food near the hotel and getting around is easy with Grab and Maxim. Recommended hotel to stay in if you like to explore nearby area.

Nothing is dislike about this hotel

Perfect location. Very clean. Reasonably quiet.

No fridge in the room. A bit much water on the floor after shower because of the way the shower section is designed. The Do not disturb sign very easily fell off when opening and closing the door.
