La propiedad — Hotel Austine Ternate
Hotel Austine Ternate feels like a functional base for volcano-chasers and business stopovers rather than a destination in itself. The lobby is modest with tile floors and a front desk that processes guests efficiently; rooms are clean but basic, with air-con that works hard against the equatorial heat. Its main advantage is location – a short walk from the waterfront market and ferry terminal – and price stays low even during busy periods. It suits independent travellers who need a no-fuss room and spend their days out exploring the island’s volcanic landscapes.
Crónicas de Ternate
Ternate was once the world’s sole source of cloves, making it a fiercely contested prize for Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch and local sultanates from the 16th century onward. The city grew around the Sultan’s Palace (Kedaton) on the slopes of Mount Gamalama, with colonial forts like Fort Oranje still standing as reminders of the spice monopoly era. After Indonesian independence, Ternate became the capital of North Maluku province before the 1999–2000 communal conflicts damaged parts of the old centre. Today it is a busy port town, with a population that blends Malay, Tidore, and migrant groups, and an economy driven by fishing, clove and nutmeg trading, and modest tourism.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Austine Ternate, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the top floors (3rd or 4th floor) facing away from the main road to reduce street noise and get a quieter stay. These upper rooms also have better airflow and privacy.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the reception or roadside, as they suffer from passing traffic noise and lobby activity. Avoid rooms directly above any service areas if possible (check on arrival).
Best views
Rooms facing away from the main road offer views of the hotel's garden or neighbouring low-rise buildings, which is the best available. Road-facing rooms look onto Ternate's main street.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are quietest, being furthest from street and lobby noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Ternate's main road has local traffic, motorbikes, and occasional honks. The hotel entrance and reception are on the ground floor, so footfall and check-in bustle add noise to lower rooms.
