Hotel Menteng 2, Jakarta  

I believe there was no review of the premises, when I made my booking.Arriving I found that there was no booking for me.But /un/fortunatly they were able to give me a room.Being driven in my first thoughts were:What a dump!Reception area stank of stale smoke, but was reasonable by indo standards.Room also had a stale smoky stench in it.The refrigerator just simply stank.Should have been cleaned/thrown out years ago.There were several burn marks on the carpet, the whole place could do with a major clean.Aircon and refrigerator were working, just.Breakfast, I should have gone to Maccas.There is a bar, karaoke on ground level, it may be interesting to visit.Haven`t done so myself, was just too busy.I actually considered to relocating, F1 is just up the road. It is close to a rail station and some markets,
KFC.Most of the visitors are natives, so their attitude toward you be at best indifference.There are better places for the same ammount or slightly more.If you pay in international currency expect the worst possible exchange rate.By not staying at this place you may do yourself a favor!
