Vega Hotel Sorong

I want to position this correctly and fairly in that the hotel was absolutely fine / really good for a 1 night stay and will use it again (which says it all) when next connecting to Raja Ampat. However, I think it would be better for some if the hotel didn’t describe / sell their basic room as “superior” when it is in fact their most basic room (superior to what if the minimum offering?!) and made it clear that room was windowless. It was acceptable to us for a 1 night stay over but might not be for some and may have been a problem if we had been staying longer. The restaurant and outdoor decking area was good and the all you can eat buffet was very enjoyable and great value at 150k IDR each (c £8). The individual cooking stations were really good and a great way to taste the different local cuisine. Located near the airport which was handy for the next morning early flight.

We got stuck in Sorong due to the closure of Mandao airport. We chose the Vega Hotel as it is very close to Sorong Airport. The rooms are spacious and have a nice bathroom. The bed is comfortable and there is enough space to store your luggage. There is also a fridge and good WiFi. The breakfast was included in the price and very varied. At dinner there was an all you can eat for a very good price-performance ratio. The buffet was also very varied and the quality was very good. The staff are very attentive and friendly. We are very happy to recommend this hotel.

Walking distance from airport (perfect place to avoid a 100k idr taxi fare from airport). Room is not quite big. But it is clean. Breakfast is average. But the MAJOR problem is, they played loud live music until midnight. Very disturbing for us who want to get a rested after a long flight hours.

Enjoyed our stay for one night before departing Sorong. Appreciated the location very close to the airport. Rooms were as pictured, clean and spacious. We asked for an extra bed so three adults could stay in the same room, and the staff promptly set it up after our arrival. We asked for the 5th floor after reading reviews of the loud music at night. It was quiet there and we slept well. The staff were all very friendly and upbeat, and those at the reception desk and in the restaurant spoke excellent English. The restaurant was a huge surprise bonus--there was an all-you-can eat buffet for dinner, just 100,000 idr per person for guests staying in the hotel. There were lots of fun choices in the main room, as well as several cute kiosks that made food to order indoors and on the patio--seafood, soups, noodles, fried foods, etc. It was a very fun experience without having to go out on the streets after a hot and tiring day of travel. The waiters made us feel very welcome and we had a great time. Thank you, Vega!

You don’t have a lot of options in Sorong and I understand the region has its limitations and that other hotels are just as poor, but that does not mean this hotel deserves high marks for being “the least worst”. Over all room is fairly tired. Gritty towels, hair on the floor (not mine), cockroach in the bathroom, and no extra toilet paper. I will say, the service is good and the bed was reasonably comfortable.

Perfect spot in between port and airport, nice swimming pool, excellent dinner, very nice staff! If you need to stay in Sorong before traveling to Raja Ampat and back I do suggest you spend your night at Vega Hotel! You will find water, a fridge, a hair dryer and toiletries in your room
