Swiss-Belhotel Silae Palu

Swiss-Belhotel Silae Palu

10/10 Excellent
"While the hotel is already little isolated from the city it a place that I come back to. I was given an early check in and a late check out. The staff were friendly and went out of their way with trying to help solve a problem (not of their making). My room was spacious and comfortable. Everything worked as it should. The pool was clean. Food and drink was reasonably priced. There were many smokers in the restaurant areas so I had to Nepal careful where I sat. That was the only negative."
