Good standard hotel near Gajah Madah area. Gajah Madah plaza within walk-able distance which has good eateries, shopping and a Cinema. The restaurant at the hotel offers local food at reasonable rates.

Nice budget hotel

It’s a small hotel within walking distance from Gajah Mazda Plaza. The staff are helpful and friendly with fast check in and checkout service. Room facilities are okay and conditions are clean. There is even a TV channel for watching World Cup football matches. The buffet breakfast is simple without too much food choices but it’s included in a rather low room rate so no complaints.

Quality - The price is right

I have stayed here twice. The location is alright. Near Transjakarta. Easy to get taxi. Walking distance to a mall called Gajah Mada Plaza. Less than an hour to the airport depends on traffic. Since I have paid in advance, check-in and check out were fast.

great value located in northern part of Jakarta

The value was very good. Rooms are spacious and modern.
The staff was very helpful and friendly. It's quite new, hence the good condition.
The breakfast was very good, too. If you want to travel south or to central JKT you can use a cab or the bus at Sawah Besar bus station, five to ten minutes from the hotel. There is a mid-sized mall at that bus station for food and supermarket and even a seven-eleven and MacDonalds.
Two bottles of drinking water is provided daily.
I found Indos to be generally quite friendly.

great hotel walking distance to city centre

Spent a couple of nights in Jakarta on my way back home to Canada. Great location for a reasonable
priced quality hotel with nice clean amenities and great breakfast and super helpful staff. Walking distance or short taxi ride to the grand Masjid, museum, national monuments, Grand Indonesian Mall or Thamin City Mall. Cheap Islamic clothing at the Thamin City Mall. A bus ride for 3,500 rupiah (35 cents) will take you any where one way. Avoid the rush hour as buses are backed. Need a bank card which has a minimum top-up of 20,000 rupiah to ride the bus. We had to buy a bank card to enter the national monument but it had zero money on it and since we discover this cheap method of transport on our last day we did not top-up the card. Other travellers were helpful to allow us to use their card.WE HAD A GREAT STAY AT THIS HOTEL AND AT OTHE STAY IN INDONESIA.

Regular Stayer

Been staying in this hotel regularly for the past months. Overall the service has always been good; friendly and responsive staffs. The breakfast menu has improved.

The only downside is the cleanliness of the room. The bed sheet was stained. After getting it changed the next day, it is all good.

\"Service could be improved\"

For the money you paid it was good, but you should get a better service, which is standard to every hotel. Booking for a double bed room, was given twin bed. Asking for a mobile phone re-charger, was told it has been taken by other costumer. Stated on the flyer provided in the room, that last time to book massage service is 11pm, but when I rang at 10.25, they said it's already closed.
When the staff collected my jacket for laundry I was given a price, but when delivered it I was charged higher price. After talking with the Boss, I was given a new price which is less than the second price but not the same as the original price I was given.

The hotel has always been a bargain for value. Good location to the central of Jakarta and the mall nearby offers you the ease of getting your daily necessities. I would recommend this hotel for business traveller. Good wifi and cable channels.

First bad experience for a regular stayer

I am a frequent stayer in this hotel. However the standard of the hotel appears to have a drop in recent stay.

In my last stay, the bed has bed bugs. First time I had encountered this but this might be due to the poor maintenance of the hotel.

Room service did not replenish toilet paper and complementary drinks.

The hotel used to be value for money. However after the very last experience, I might just give it another go. One more bad experience, I am changing hotel for my business trip.

Great Hotel in Jakarta

This hotel is a great value for the price. It is located in a more rustic part of Jakarta but there are plenty of restaurants and street vendors within walking distance which helps avoid the infamous Jakarta traffic. The room was very modern even by Western standards with all lighting, AC, and even the TV controlled by just dropping your room key into a controller on the wall near the door.

Nice hotel near Malioboro Club & Spa

There's a mall around the corner where you can buy all kinds of stuff. The handle on my luggage broke while I was checking in, so I went to the mall and bought better luggage that was small enough to carry on at the airlines. Walk a little past the mall and there is a club and spa called Malioboro. Definitely worth checking out. It's one big red light district and you have to see it to believe it.

立地場所はトランスジャカルタのサワブサール駅から徒歩数分のところで利便性が高い、空港からは鉄道でDURI駅で降りてバジャイに乗って20000ルピア(160円ほど)でした、何よりうれしかったのはすぐ隣のGajah Mada Plazaの地下1階のHyper Marketで冷えたビールを見つけたことです。今までアルコールを求めていろんなところを探しましたが、チャイナタウンの一部のレストランにしかアルコールが置いてなかった。またBlok Mまでいかないと買えないなど不便でしたが、これで解消されました。いいところを見つけて得した気分です。

何度か利用したことがあり、好印象を持っていましたが、今回で帳消しとなりました。連泊で寝坊をして、昼過ぎに部屋のメークアップを頼んだところ、係が帰ったとかで、部屋のメークアップをしてくれません。替えのタオルと歯ブラシを持ってきただけです。その間の対応が、またかなり不遜なもので、たいへん不快です。もう利用しません。

Bilik dengan kelengkapan asas yang selesa & murah

Lokasi di tengah bandar memudahkan perjalanan ke mana jua di Jakarta. Bilik hotel terasa baru, tetapi sedikit kekurangan kerana tiada almari dan peti sejuk. Kekurangan ini mungkin kerana harganya yang murah dari hotel biasa.

Tetapi bufet sarapan pagi yang disediakan sangat bagus, lengkap untuk selera makanan barat atau tempatan. Wifi dalam bilik juga laju dan stabil.

Sangat sesuai untuk mereka yang mencari tempat penginapan selesa dan murah.

そっちは崖だ

価格以下の価値しかない

ホテルのエントランスから床が埃だらけなのでヤバイと思った。案の定、部屋の階の共用部の廊下や部屋も床が埃まみれだけではなく、ベットのシーツの上にも髪の毛やごみがあり、前の客からかえてないのではと疑い始める。まずどこも掃除してない！！部屋は独特の臭いがする。角部屋だったがすぐ外がコンプレッサー室だったため夜中ずっとやかましくて寝れなかった。レストランは5から6品しかなく極端にメニューが少ない。外が雨だったのでしかたなくレストランで食べようと思ったら、その少ないメニューの中から定番のシーフードナシゴレンを頼んだら、作れないと言われた。レストランの従業員は何の為に存在するのかまったくわからない。あげくのはてに朝食の残りのビュッフェを金を払って食べろと言われた。信じられないといって出た。雨の中タクシーを使って外に食べに行かなくてはならなかった。まったくいって従業員はやる気が無い。フロントのコンシェルジュに安くて地元で作っているの皮製品が買えるところ教えてもらっていったが、ブランドフェイク品ばっかり売っているところで、足が棒になるくらい歩いたが結局見つからず買えなかった。

Good value for the money

The value, for the money is ok. Room size ok, size of the bathroom ok.
In the morning, some issues with hot water. AC too noise. No noise proof windows, so the traffic-noise from outside the hotel is very loud, in the room.

Breakfast ok, a little bit too less western food. 90% asian food for breakfast.
Payment in the restaurant by credit card is possible, no minimum charge, but they do not accept American Express.

For a short stay, this Hotel is ok. Very friendly staff, clean rooms.

Goed hotel

We verbleven 1 nacht; kamer was goed, weliswaar met een tussendeur (op slot gelukkig), wat wij niet zo prettig vonden. De wc-bril zat los en men was vergeten flesjes water in de kamer te zetten; tv kwam maar tot 24 zenders ipv de in de hotelfolder genoemde 99 en de ontvangst van het merendeel van de zenders was slecht.
We verbleven begin april ook in dit hotel voor 4 nachten in een veel betere kamer.
