Hotels near Wamena Airport - WMX, Wamena

Boasting a garden, Baliem Pilamo Hotel Wamena is situated in Wamena. This 2-star hotel offers room service and a 24-hour front desk. At the hotel, rooms are fitted with a desk and a flat-screen TV. Rooms are clean, food is not bad, staff are helpful and will recommend good guides to Baliem trekking that so not charge you a fortune. Consider that if you book through agencies before arriving in Wamena, you get the same guides but at extortionate prices (maybe it's unavoidable if you visit during the festival...). Overall, if you are here for trekking , I suggest you stay at the hotel, despite the negatives below. Wamena is not a luxury retreat, so I doubt other places will be that better and bug free (you are in the middle of the jungle after all)

Pintu Biru Hostel is located in Wamena. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and room service for guests. This is an exceptional hostel. The breakfast is great and the coffee that Niky roasts himself is phenomenal. Niky also has a wealth of information about the region and its dynamics, can help connect you with a great guide for any adventures (day trips or multi day excursions) and is just one of the most interesting and helpful people I’ve met.
