Well located and friendly
The rooms are not huge, tending on the small size, but they are adequate for a couple. Rooms lack space to take visitors but the hotel lobby has several seating areas. Room rental via Asia Rooms provides only one free breakfast per day per room, but extra smorgasbord breakfasts at the hotel restaurant are only around Rp60,000 (about $US 7.00) per person. The hotel is ideally located across the street from the busy Blok M shopping centre (Grande department store is very expensive but has a low priced food court; Blok M Square is a multti-storied multi-shop centre with a great range of stores with relatively inexpensive clothing and other items; Blok M mall offers crowded and very low priced shopping, but be prepared to bargain there. My preference is for Blok M Square which also had family style eating. While a little simple in style all eating courts seemed relatively hygienic.). Room cleaners at Ambhara hotel tended to be a little forgetful with replacing towels and topping up coffee making items, but there was no problem when they were asked for these items. Check-in and check out were stream-less with no problems or issues.
