Which area of Makassar is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For solo travellers seeking cheap hotels in Makassar, the city centre, particularly around Jalan Somba Opu and Jalan Penghibur, offers the best value and convenience. This area provides easy access to major attractions and public transport, alongside a good selection of budget-friendly accommodations.

Jalan Somba Opu, known for its gold shops and local crafts, is close to many guesthouses and smaller hotels that cater to solo travellers looking for an economical stay. It's a lively area where you can easily find local eateries for inexpensive meals, and its proximity to Losari Beach means you can enjoy beautiful sunsets without needing to travel far.

The area around Jalan Penghibur, leading towards Losari Beach, also has numerous affordable options, including basic hotels and hostels. This location is brilliant for exploring the city on foot, with many street food vendors and local cafes nearby for cheap and delicious Indonesian cuisine.
What are the top-rated cheap hotels for families in Makassar?
For families seeking top-rated yet affordable accommodation in Makassar, excellent choices include Hotel O Wisma Jampea and Aston Inn Pantai Losari Makassar.

The 3-star Aston Inn Pantai Losari Makassar, rated 8.2, is another fantastic option. It provides free WiFi, complimentary toiletries, and a 24-hour airport shuttle, which is a real benefit for families arriving or departing at odd hours.
When is the most affordable time to visit Makassar?
The most affordable time to visit Makassar is generally during the off-peak season, which aligns with the city's rainy season from November to April. During these months, you'll often find lower prices on flights and accommodation, as tourist numbers tend to decrease.

While some rain is to be expected, it rarely impacts travel plans significantly; showers are often brief, and there are still plenty of sunny periods. This period is particularly good for solo travellers, as fewer crowds mean more relaxed exploration of attractions like Fort Rotterdam and the vibrant Panyula market, and you might even snag better deals on local tours.

For couples looking for a romantic getaway without the premium price tag, visiting outside the dry season means more competitive rates on hotels, allowing you to perhaps upgrade your stay or allocate more of your budget to experiences like a culinary tour of the city's famous seafood.
What are the best cheap hotels in Makassar with a pool?
For budget-friendly hotels in Makassar that feature a pool, consider the Aston Inn Pantai Losari Makassar and Whiz Prime Hotel Hasanuddin Makassar.

The 3-star ibis Makassar City Center, rated 7.8, provides a 24-hour airport shuttle, free wired internet in public areas, free self-parking, and complimentary toiletries.
Is Makassar a budget-friendly destination?
Yes, Makassar is a budget-friendly destination, offering excellent value for money, especially when compared to more popular Indonesian tourist spots.

Travellers can find significant savings on accommodation, food, and local transport. For solo adventurers, hostels and guesthouses are widely available in central areas like Panakkukang or around the Losari Beach promenade, providing affordable and convenient bases. Couples can also find reasonably priced boutique hotels or homestays without compromising on comfort.

Fort Rotterdam offers a glimpse into the city's historic past with a minimal entrance fee, and wandering through its grounds is a delightful way to spend an afternoon. For a taste of local life, visit the traditional markets like Pasar Sentral, where you can soak in the sights and sounds for free.

Dining in Makassar is incredibly affordable and delicious. Solo travellers and couples can enjoy hearty meals at local warungs (small eateries) or street food vendors, sampling regional specialities like Coto Makassar (a beef soup) or Konro Bakar (grilled ribs) for just a few pounds. Public transport, primarily angkots (shared minibuses), is also very cheap, making it easy to navigate the city on a budget.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a hotel in Makassar as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
