"The location of this hotel is superb—right opposite Sarinah Mall, with Plaza Indonesia and Grand Indonesia Mall just a 10-minute walk away. The nearest MRT station, Bundaran HI, is conveniently located opposite Plaza Indonesia, making it easy to get around the city.
The room itself was clean and fairly large, providing a comfortable stay. However, due to its central location, the surrounding area can be quite lively at night, which might be uncomfortable for light sleepers. The towels provided were super fluffy and smelled great, though it would be even better if hand towels were included as well. The hairdryer in the bathroom was functional but not the best quality. There was no iron or ironing board in the room, but guests can use the laundry room, where washing and drying cost Rp75,000. You need to get coins from the reception, and detergent is provided. However, there is only one washer and one dryer, with a waiting time of 20 minutes and 50 minutes, respectively. Additionally, I noticed that staff also use the facility to wash and dry cleaning rags, which was a bit off-putting—separate facilities for staff would be more appropriate.
The gym was decent but had a very gloomy atmosphere. The biggest downside was the smell of cigarette smoke in the lobby and lifts, which was quite unpleasant. It would be great if the hotel could place air fresheners in common areas to improve the ambiance.
Overall, a great choice for its location and room quality, but a few enhancements could make the stay even better."
