- The regulations around short pants at breakfast as told to my husband: "this is a business hotel so don't wear short pants at breakfast". Then maybe the hotel should not cater to families with family rooms... - As usual, a refresh of some parts of the room would be great - the taps were a bit broken in the bathroom and the kitchen. - The electrical plugs are most of them not in local format, which means we need adapters to use them. - A lot of mosquitoes in the Garden Wings rooms.

As always a great hotel to relax in Jakarta. The swimming pool and the garden are wonderful. The breakfast buffet is great and the staff from the breakfast and the housekeeping were very helpful. There is a wide variety of shops and restaurants, making it very convenient. It is also walking distance from two important sites of Jakarta.

Our room in the garden wing was quite enjoyable, although it did feel a bit outdated. The positive energy there was so strong that it didn’t bother us much. However, you could tell the age of the terrifying electrical outlets and the very old kitchen. Don’t get me wrong, everything was exceptionally clean and maintained to the best of our knowledge. But a makeover would certainly suit this lovely place. As mentioned earlier, Bajaj scooters are not allowed on the property, so we had to get off at the pedestrian gate. This was a bit of a downside.

We booked a family room through Booking.com, which turned out to be a spacious two-bedroom apartment with a living room and kitchen in one of the garden wings. The apartment had ample room for my family of seven (parents, grandparents, and four kids). A crib was kindly provided for the kids. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the room due to its ample space, cleanliness, and peaceful surroundings. The garden was large and featured a playground, pools, and other facilities like tennis courts. My wife used the spa for a massage one day and was delighted with the experience. The pool was a great spot for the kids, and the staff was attentive and helpful, providing towels and chairs as needed. I particularly appreciated the personal assistance from the morning staff member. The staff, particularly the room service, was incredibly attentive and took great care of our room. We had the opportunity to observe them cleaning, and they were meticulous and friendly throughout the process. Thank you for the excellent service, Mas. The breakfast was included in the room rate, even though we had booked it for a single person. It offered a variety of local and Western dishes, although the quality could be improved. The hotel is conveniently located near the Gambir train station, Istiqlal Mosque, and Monas. The compound is well-secured, with K9s patrolling the gates. Taxis are readily available, although there are no Bajaj (the small three-wheeler) taxis.

Booked Family room. Really spacious. Clean. Great breakfast with a massive selection. Good location for our visit to the mosque. Staff are fantastic with Rudolf on reception and Wei the ‘bellboy’ being really helpful. Loved the old photos hung around the hotel.

I go to this hotel since 20 years. Rarely i had something to say in negative. Only thing i could suggest is to evaluate eliminating the carpeting in the rooms.

It felt pricey for Jakarta. Flashing blue light from a ?modem on the ceiling made it a bit hard to sleep without an eyemask. Smell of smoke in the lobby. Bit of a long walk to the gym. Breakfast was varied but so-so, nothing to shout about. Picking up food delivery was a bit stressful as delivery riders aren't allowed to come all the way in to the lobby.

We chose to upgrade to an executive business room which is newly renovated (after seeing the reviews about old rooms). Hence it met the expected standard of a decent modern hotel. Comfortable clean spacious room with good adjustable aircon. Good WiFi. Grounds are huge, gym and pool are huge, wish we had more time there.

The water circulation of bath tab was not very smooth.

Iconic place for Java Jazz Festival where the overseas musicians stay at this hotel and you could enjoy their jam session at night time. Very spacious room and great facilities such as gym, swimming pool.

Security check at the entrance every time you came back to the hotel was a strange experience for us. The pool area is very big but a bit outdated. However, we enjoyed ourselfs.

Breakfast was superb, however, it was very busy due to many guests.

However the lobby is a smoking area so it’s totally uncomfortable for the nonsmokers to sit around.

The location, staff and the well-maintained garden are wonderful. It is located in the Indonesian historical area. The food is okay.

Room mini fridge did not work. So no cool water. Kept waking up on day one as light outside bathroom could not be switched off. Day two the maintenance team came and took off bulb as they also could not switch it off. Gave a new mini fridge which also did not work! The hotel kept trying to fix it late on day two. By then we had to pack and be ready to leave next morning. These are issues which need to be checked before guests arrive not after. Considering the hotel rate per night this is not ok.
