Guest sentiment
A 194-room hotel and convention property in central Pontianak with the city's largest pillarless ballroom, near Ayani Mega Mall and the Kapuas River.
Last updated August 13, 2026
Novotel Pontianak Convention Centre opened in late 2025 in the heart of Pontianak's business and lifestyle district, a short walk from Ayani Mega Mall, Pontianak Cathedral, and Alun Alun Kapuas, and about 15-20 minutes from Supadio International Airport. The 194-room property is built around Pontianak's largest pillarless ballroom, the Lotus Ballroom, which seats up to 2,000 guests under seven-meter ceilings, alongside a Food Exchange restaurant, Gourmet Bar, Pool Bar, and Executive Lounge. Guests praise the spacious rooms, the large swimming pool (with a kids' splash pool), and breakfast variety, though some reviews flag inconsistent service and note the surrounding street isn't the most comfortable for late-night walks.
