Good but ...
Friendly and nice staff, as almost everywhere in Indonesia.
However, number skills may not be amongst the strongest virtues of their staff.

Upon check in i was upgraded to the Tiffany suite which i was surprised
though my booking was for a deluxe room, with fantastic city view from the 22nd floor
I strongly recommend anyone who wishes to stay in Jakarta to stay here.
Good value for money, lots of friendly people and security was extremely tight.
Morning buffet breakfast was great with local and interational cuisine to enjoy ...and not forgetting some NORTH INDIAN food. This is what i was expecting.. Congrats!!!!

Value for Money accommodation
The family suite room that I got was really value for money. It is very spacious and very clean. It is really suitable for a family trip.
I am really satisfied with my stay in the hotel.
The only disadvantage :
1) The only setback i got was that I received a knock in my room one morning when i was trying to sleep late. It was the room service. And that time was before 9am. So in the future, if you would like to wake up late and do not want to be disturbed, turn on the "Do Not Disturb" switch.
2) There are no free internet in this hotel. You need to buy vouchers to access internet in your room. There are also no common area for free internet access. You need to pay to use the computers in the business center.
Overall, I am happy with the cleanliness and the size of the room. The price is really very affordable.

The facility is bad and food not ready for many people..
Warning
Well, I had to put that in the title because of the experience I had. But I will start from the beginning:
Check in was not the most pleasant, I had to wait about 25 minutes while both reception personnel were slowly taking care of one customer. But considering the general nature of the Indonesians, I would not blame MP too much. Then came the surprise, although I specifically requested a smoking room, they said they had no such information, and all smoking rooms of my category was booked. After some persuasion, they seemed to have managed to produce a smoking room of my category ... I am not sure how .. lol
Room was excellent (Prada Suit), clean, spacious, well lit, with a large bed, sofas, seats, minibar (Which was kept empty for the customer to fill it with whatever s/he buys). Calling overseas was easy, but came at a cut-throat price. No wifi (Free or Paid) in room which was a downside. Internet was available for 24 hours at a whooping price of 100 K (Approx 11.50 US$).
The worst part came when I wanted to extend my stay by 2 more days. The reception said, I had to pay list price for the extension dates, or will have to rebook though asiarooms. When I visited asiarooms, the hotel was fully booked. So I talked to the manager who agreed to offer me US$ 100 nett ($ 10.00 more than the first 2 nights which were booked though asiarooms).
This is the part I got confused about, the hotel actually punished me 10 $ for staying longer!! I know that they had to pay some commission to asiarooms for the first 2 nights. So my extension at same rate would save them the commission. Yet, they insisted that it is their "policy" that if I want that rate I must go through asiarooms and they could not give any logical explanation.
I asked the manager, you are making a total US$ 560 from me (First 2 nights were 2 rooms X 90$ per night) and you are earning a bad reputation for only 20 of those $$, is it worth it? He replied, sorry sir, hotel policy .... !! Go figure ...
good room
Very good room for the price, lobby not so nice, but other areas good, location not so good, but for the price a good hotel
Weekend in Jakarta
The Hotel has a very good location near the National Monument in Jakrata Central and quite near Grand Indonesia. The Hotel looks new and the rooms are big and comfortable. The Service (Reception and Billing) is okay. The breakfast buffet could be better. They are not refilling until the end because they are running out of the things like fruits or types of bread. The variety for continental breakfast is very very small. Finally I would grade the Merlynn Park Hotel with 4 stars. The 5 stars are not justified.
Hotel Taxi Expensive
Request for Blue Bird Cab but Bellmen not interested insist on hotel taxi .It cost as much as we took taxi from airport to Poin Square Apartment which is twice the journey
