Kost Samarinda

Top choice in Kalimantan


You can't beat the price at this excessively accommodating family guesthouse: a clean, cheap, friendly, no-frills place strategically located close to the central action. Rooms share three clean common bathrooms with cold-water shower. The icing on the cake, if you're comfortable in Samarinda traffic: motorbikes for rent (50,000Rp per day). It's down a small lane signposted off Jl Pangeran Hidayatullah.
