I Stayed there for three nights with my wife. Overall the hotel is well run and clean. Though it is not the cheapest hotel in the pangeran jayakarta area, nevertheless the staff are very courteous, the buffet spread for breakfast is acceptable and the room and bath is reasonably large. It offers value for money. However, the location is a bit out from the (nearest) main shopping area of mangga dua, fortunately it can be easily reached by hailing a bajaj,which would cost
only rp 8,000 per one way. There was an incident when the housekeeping maid without our approval has taken our dirty laundry for cleaning when we were out on the second day. The charge came up to rp 65,000 and we disputed it since we had never made such request.
The office manager reluctantly absorb the cost claiming that it will be deducted from his pay. We think that this is his folly for being presumptous and trying to increase the contribution of staying guests by creative means. Notwithstanding that, I would still like to visit jakarta again in the future and I wont mind staying at quality hotel again.
