Hotel Novena Bone stands as a compelling choice for travelers seeking comfort, convenience, and cultural immersion in the heart of Bone, South Sulawesi. Nestled on Jl. Jend. Ahmad Yani No.25, this modern establishment boasts a solid 4.2-star rating, reflecting its commitment to quality and guest satisfaction.
The hotel's prime location is one of its strongest assets. Positioned strategically next to popular retail outlets such as BCA, Yotta, Mr. DIY, and Alfamidi, and directly across from a KFC, it offers guests immediate access to shopping, dining, and essential services. This makes it an ideal base for exploring the local district and the well-known Museum Saoraja, just 2 kilometers away.
Hotel Novena Bone embodies a blend of fresh, contemporary design and practical amenities. The rooms are well-maintained and air-conditioned, providing a quiet retreat despite being in the bustling city center. Guests frequently commend the cleanliness upheld by diligent housekeeping and the friendly, attentive staff, particularly praising individual members like Mr. Iyan who enhance the welcoming atmosphere.
The culinary experience here resonates with authentic Indonesian flavors, showcased notably at breakfast. The inclusion of traditional jamu concoctions on the buffet table offers a unique cultural touch that enriches the morning routine. While the breakfast selection may be limited, it never sacrifices quality or taste—a detail appreciated by long-term guests.
Amenities cater thoughtfully to various travelers’ needs: free Wi-Fi and parking, a well-equipped fitness center, accessible facilities, and recreational options like an outdoor pool (though some guests advise maintenance improvements). Convenience extends to practical offerings such as one-day laundry service, helping business travelers stay fresh on extended visits.
Despite its many pluses, the hotel reveals subtle areas for enhancement. Some visitors note thin walls compromising privacy and occasional plumbing issues within bathrooms. A nonsmoking policy is in place, though smoke infiltration through ventilation has been reported. Pool chemical levels warrant attention, as chlorine intensity has affected guest comfort.
In sum, Hotel Novena Bone emerges as a balanced sanctuary blending cultural charm and urban practicality. It reflects a genuine effort to cater to both leisure and business visitors, with thoughtful service and a strategic location that invites guests to experience Bone’s vibrant environment. For those prioritizing value, cleanliness, and local flavor within a welcoming setting, this hotel is a steadfast option that earns its place among the city’s best.

Situated next to BCA, Yotta, Mr. DIY, Alfamidi and just across from KFC. Truly a strategic location to position yourself for touring the Bone Area. Everyday, in my 10 day stay, you get two water bottles and the housekeeping diligently keeps the room clean. Breakfast at the hotel is a unique experience for the various jamu concoctions available on the buffet table. The hot shower water in my room takes a while to heat up though. Perhaps it's because I stayed at the old building. I did not stay at the new building at the back, but at the old building on the front side that is next to the hotel's karaoke bar. Yet, thanks to being used to loud noises during theatre performances, the loud karaoke singing did not disturb my sleep at all.
Still the best hotel in Bone, believe me! For deluxe room, it costs IDR600K include breakfast even tho you will find limited choice of buffet provided but the taste is not really bad! They have one day laundry service which helps us during long busines trip, the laundry cost IDR50K/service.
Much of the hotel is very new, fresh and well decorated. The staff are very helpful. Unfortunately the walls may be a bit thin as we could hear other guests. And somehow in a non-smoking room there was smoke coming thru the ventilation system into our bathroom...
Good value but the pool needs to be maintained better. There was probably too much chlorine, it ruined two bathing suits of our children and caused frizzy hair and headaches. Rooms are fine and service is impeccable.
All staff very friendly especially Mr Iyan. make us comfort stay in this hotel, room is clean, food is delicious, location in the center of Town.
Nice place to get rest in town. Just little bites problem when check in
Newest hotel in town. There are a few improvements needed in the shower flow, sink clogged. The linens are good Pillow are the right size. The staff is customer oriented Breakfast is very Indonesian The variety of food is ok. There are 2 buildings I recommend the newest one. The prices are different too. There is karaoke in one of the floors A coffee shop/restaurant at the ground floor of the older building. The rates are negotiable if corporate. Good location Please install a light switch for the mirror light. We never managed to turn it off.
Staying here for a day, deluxe room at the back part of the building, located at the center of Bone city, just at the main bussiness areas, they have Convention hall, pool, gym, restaurant and cafe Actually i love the hotel, its clean, comfy, cool aircon, and has TV, also friendly staffs with quite complete amenities. I just have problem with the bathroom, clogged water sewer at the shower part, it took some time for the water to drain, the same case with the sink, its very uncomfortable. The breakfast is great, but please, provide flies/insects machine killer. But, as a first timer in Bone, i love it. Novena worth a try!
On a bustling commercial street, this casual hotel is 2 km from historical exhibits at Museum Saoraja and 11 km from Arung Palakka Airport.
