The hotel room is small as per description but comfortable and quiet for a good night rest after diving. Internet is ok during the day but super slow from 6pm. The service is really top and welcoming (reception, booking, cleaning). For the transfer from Sorong, if you have a long waiting time between your flight and the speed boat (only 2 departures a day), they'll bring you to the Swiss Belhotel for resting in a nice environment (and have lunch if you want).
