This is an absolutely lovely hotel. Like the entire property, beautiful and thoughtfully designed with green spaces, seating areas, and even a little goldfish pond, my room was designed with stylish practicality. The room was clean, quiet at all hours - even with neighbors next door and above. Everything worked well, and I especially liked the spacious rain-style shower and strategic placement of tile and carpet. The bed was comfortable, and the management is generous with accessories. The hotel is conveniently located. Jakarta is big with scattered points of interest, but the MH Thamrin transit stop is only steps away and offers connections to Kota Tua north and Blok M south. Many attractions are within walking distance, including shopping and restaurants. Personally, I’d recommend public transit, because traffic looks pretty brutal during the day. There doesn’t seem to be a huge amount to do in the immediate area of the hotel, which is safe and walkable, but Jaya Pub is the exception. This is a fun venue with food, raucous live music, and a friendly mix of regulars and travelers, no more than a 5 minute walk across the street. Finally, and I think probably the most important ingredient, the people who work in this hotel, from the lovely ladies in the restaurant to the knowledgeable desk staff, are as pleasant and accommodating a group as you could hope for. Honestly, they seem to enjoy working together and it shows in their superior service. Fantastic hotel option
