L Bajo Hotel is a three-star hotel on Jalan Kasimo in the center of Labuan Bajo. Rooms such as the deluxe double have air conditioning, a ceiling fan, a television with satellite channels, a desk and a private bathroom with a shower, and free bottled water is provided. Guests rate it 7.2 out of 10 from 27 reviews, so the sample is small.
Location and getting around
The airport is about a 3-minute drive, and the port is an 11-minute walk of about 0.6 miles. Pede Beach is a 15-minute walk, and the Mirror Cave is a 14-minute drive. Cafes and restaurants such as Taka Bajo Cafe and Treetop Seafood are within a 6 to 12 minute walk, which makes it easy to eat out without a car.
Facilities
A self-serve breakfast is available in the morning for a small fee, there is no pool and no on-site restaurant, and Wi-Fi is free in public areas. A 24-hour front desk, laundry and dry cleaning, free parking and an on-site shopping mall add convenience. An airport shuttle is available for a fee.
Who it suits
Budget travelers, backpackers and anyone who needs a clean base for a night before or after a boat trip. It is not a resort, so choose another property if you want a pool or a beach.
Planning tips
Because the hotel is simple, set expectations for comfort and plan around the basics. Ask about luggage storage if you are leaving on a multi-day boat trip, and confirm check-in times if you arrive on an early flight. Noise from the street can be an issue in a town-center hotel, so request a quieter room away from the road.
The walk to the port is easy in the morning but hot at midday, so carry water. Because the rating comes from a small number of reviews, read the latest comments and ask the hotel about air conditioning and hot water before you book.
Because there is no pool or restaurant, many guests treat it purely as a place to sleep between boat trips. The nearby cafes make breakfast easy, and the shopping mall on site is handy for sunscreen, snacks and water. Free bottled water in the room is a small but useful touch in the heat. Ask about the daily housekeeping rules, since extra cleaning may carry a fee.
