Last updated August 12, 2026

ibis Manado City Center Boulevard is an 11-floor, 154-room hotel on Jalan Piere Tendean Boulevard, Manado's waterfront strip, sitting almost directly opposite Manado Town Square mall and roughly 5 minutes from the harbor where boats depart for Bunaken National Marine Park. Rooms are compact but come with the brand's Sweet Bed by ibis bedding, and the hotel runs three meeting rooms plus an all-day restaurant and bar serving both international dishes and Manadonese specialties. Guest feedback consistently praises the location for shopping and diving-trip access, friendly and helpful staff, and a varied breakfast buffet, while reviewers frequently note the rooms themselves run small, in keeping with the budget ibis format.
