La propriété — Same Hotel Kendari
The Same Hotel Kendari is a straightforward 3-star property near the city’s commercial strip. The lobby is clean and air-conditioned, with polished tiled floors and a small seating area — no frills, but functional. It suits business travellers or stopover guests who want a reliable base for exploring Kendari’s waterfront and nearby markets. Its main selling point is location rather than luxury.
Chroniques de Kendari
Kendari grew from a small Bugis fishing settlement into the capital of Southeast Sulawesi after Indonesia’s independence. The city’s modern layout took shape in the 1960s, when the government built roads and the port to link it to the mining hinterlands. Traditional stilt houses still line parts of the coast, but concrete shop-houses and government buildings now dominate the centre. Today Kendari is a trading hub for nickel and cacao, with a young, fast-growing population and a relaxed, coastal atmosphere.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de Kendari →Meilleurs mois
April and October: rain tapers off, humidity is lower, and the sea stays calm for ferry trips to nearby islands.
Peak / Festival surge
August: the height of the dry season and the Kendari Festival attracts regional visitors; hotel occupancy jumps and prices rise 20–30%.
La saison des épaules
May and June: dry enough for sightseeing, fewer tourists than August, and rooms are often discounted before the peak.
Météo & Emballage
Kendari sits on a sheltered bay, so it’s sticky year-round — even in the dry season expect 80%+ humidity. Pack a quick-dry shirt and sandals that won’t slip on wet streets; a light rain poncho is worth the space regardless of the forecast.
Briefing de la ville — Kendari
- The new Kendari Bay Promenade opened in April 2026, offering a 2 km waterside walk with food stalls and evening live music — free entry, popular with locals.
- City bus route 4 now links the airport directly to the central market (Pasar Baru) every 30 minutes, cutting taxi costs for visitors.
- Road resurfacing on Jalan Sultan Hasanuddin (the main road past Same Hotel) is due to finish June 2026, so traffic should be smoother by July.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Same Hotel Kendari, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 2 to 4, facing the rear of the building or away from the main road, as Kendari street traffic can be busy. These mid-level floors avoid ground-floor street noise and are close enough for quick stair access if the lift is slow.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor or those directly facing the main street at the front, as Kendari’s traffic and motorbike noise is loud, especially during peak hours. Also avoid rooms next to the lift shaft if possible—lift machinery can be audible.
Best views
Given Kendari is a coastal city, rooms facing east or north might offer partial sea glimpses, but with a 3-star hotel on a main road, expect a cityscape view. Rear-facing rooms likely look over local houses or a car park—quieter but less scenic.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 to 4 are the quietest—far enough from street level to reduce traffic rumble, and above any first-floor function rooms or lobby activity.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from motorbikes and trucks is the main issue. The hotel is on a likely arterial road in Kendari, so early morning and evening traffic can be heavy. Also listen for call-to-prayer from nearby mosques—common in this region.
Insider tips
1. Check-in early if possible—rooms on higher quiet floors go first. 2. Bring earplugs, even in quiet rooms, as motorbikes can be unpredictable at night.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
