Nice place to stay. The bed is comfortable. Pool is small like 10-15m. Super nice Gym well equipped. Room was dirty with sandy floor, a lot of hair and dust behind the night stand and bed. Water will pool as you shower and drain away super slowly. The cup had white stuff inside.

Poorly maintained!

The hotel was old and not well-maintained. The room was dinged and dirt, the bathroom was unclean, for example, the shower curtain had visible, black stain marks.

Not what I would expect from a 4-star hotel

The hotel is a pleasant oasis in the chaos of Jakarta! Its convenient for Blok M and facilities and there are plenty of restaurants and shops withing close walking distance. The road junction just beside the hotel can be chaotic. The hotel is very clean and quiet with all staff being friendly and helpful. The check in and check out was particularly quick and efficient.

Decaying hotel with no inspiration

Below average, decaying hotel with subpar staff.

Room was noisy (very loud AC), old, and had mysterious electrical switches, one of which would turn off whole room's power until I had to call engineering. Shower not so clean.

Gym woman gave me grief for going to gym to fill up water bottle (to avoid always using plastic bottles) and made me sign into the gym to do so. Front desk and door staff friendly, though.

Overpriced breakfast.
Dirty spa. Unfriendly staff.

Won't be back.

Old hotel in need of an upgrade but comfortable

Great location opposite Pasaraya mall. Rooms are dated but still comfortable and service is good except one rude receptionist who made me wait to check in despite being the only one there! Food is excellent and reasonably priced. Had the best Thai chicken curry there! This would be a top hotel if rooms get updated with modern fixings and flat tv. A very pleasant stay nevertheless!

Great value in Blok M

This hotel is a great value in the Blok M area. Everything is good and up to international standards. Only drawback was the absence of a single electrical outlet in the bathroom! Unless you require opulence, this respectable hotel is a great option and a great value.

Strategic Hotel

This hotel is used to be my favourite hotel while I visited Jakarta but decrease in quality standards now. Located in the center of Kebayoran area south Jakarta. Easy access to shopping and night life area. Hotel is aged, staff performance is kind of slow. What was the most frustrated is that WIFI connection is very poor and slow. We can hear lots of noise from upstairs and corridor which is not comfortable at night. You choose to stay there only for it's strategic location

Ambhara Hotel Jakarta

My first visit to Ambhara in 14 years, the rate was excellent for a junior suit as I was conducting interviews. A little tired, but after all that time to be expected, the suite was perfect, the staff excellent, as was the service, and the location is good for forays along Surdiman and Rasuna Said. Opposite Passaraya so shopping and food handy. Overall, was pleasantly surprised, still a nice friendly hotel and good location.

4-star brochure for a 2-star hotel. Go elsewhere.

We travelled here and stayed over the holidays. The hotel advertises spa, pool, salon, health club, pub, and restaurant. They advertise generous operating hours for public holidays for each of these facilities.
What actually happens: The pool was unstaffed and was closed and locked at 5 pm every day. So much for taking the kids swimming. The spa, salon, health club was deserted and closed altogether - so my wife, who intended to use them, had to book somewhere else. I never saw the pub open, it was closed and dark for our entire stay. By dark everyday the restaurant was lights out and deserted.
We arrived Friday. As of Wednesday, our room was cleaned twice. You have to catch the guy outside with the cart to get rid of trash or get new towels. You have to buy your own coffee on the street. You have to buy your own water on the street. There is no laundry facility other than the hotel laundry and it is ridiculously priced - $2-$3 per item. We come to Jakarta all the time. I can honestly say this is the only bad experience we have had here.

Good location

A good location for accessing South Jakarta for business. The hotel needs a facelift particularly the rooms it is bordering on a 3 star property due to the tired fixtures and fittings. The bathrooms in particular needs a spruce up. Housekeeping often forget to replace items used in the bathroom. Price wise the hotel is reasonable. I recommend the hotel.

チェックアウトの日、廊下で掃除のおじさんに、チェックアウト？何処へ行くの？気をつけてね！と声を掛けて頂き、握手をしてくれた。1分にも満たない出来事だけど、とても良い思い出。
一方でフロント女性はチェックインの際に朝食付きですね？と確認しながら、朝食の説明が無かったり、Wi-Fiの説明が無いなど、このクラスのホテルスタッフとしては、レベル何低いと感じました。

設備や部屋が古く、禁煙室でもタバコ臭い。ティッシュ箱は壊れているし、Wifiも途切れ途切れ。我慢し切れずに1時間で別のホテルに移動。
チェックアウトする際も特にケアなし。お金を損してでも1時間でチェックアウトする客を見ても何も思わないスタッフにもう閉口しかありません。日本人は絶対泊まらない方が良いです。
