Hotels near Plane spotting location, Jakarta

spent one night here. quite great, comfortable & spacious room. but i need to wait for more than 30 mins to check in. overall good

my wife and i stayed at the ayaka suites jl. karet pedurenan #45 recently. we LOVE this hotel!!! this was our 2nd time here. our favorite jakarta hotel, and we have stayed at many in the $20-$40/night range. ayaka suites is a GREAT value. we paid around $35/night including breakfast for a deluxe double room. 1 king bed, 30m, with refrigerator, separate bathroom with shower. the bed was very comfortable with great pillows, nice comforter(with cover). 32” tv, with about 40 channels, including 4 hbo channels. wifi was easily connected, fast and reliable. wifi worked good in breakfast area, around pool, and in lobby. our room faced south; looking toward satrio, with nice view of raffles, dbs, lotte shopping center and the rest of kunnigan. at night very pretty with all the lights in the area. there is alittle patio that u can access, from the room. we like this location. we stayed at the rasuna icon which is closer to rasuna said, and ayaka west, closer to satrio. but nice 5 minute walk to ambassador mall, 10 minutes to lotte, 8 minutes to axa, 15 minutes to plaza festival. the staff is what makes a BIG difference at ayakka. from the doormen, front desk, housecleaning, breakfast staff/restaurant, are all outstanding. the doormen have a nice uniform they wear; they all match; very professional looking. the car and pedestrian access has a circular drive for taksi, grab, private cars, etc. the cars can dropoff/pickup guest easily and then the front door/lobby is only steps away. the lobby is large and pretty. porcelain tile, woodgrained walls and front desk area. lots of sofas, chairs, tables, etc. it is very easy to feel at home here. 2 elevators; i think 8 floors. lots of rooms, i would estimate 200 rooms. breakfast buffet is probably my favorite thing about ayaka. the breakfast area/restaurant is large. plenty of places to sit. you can spreak out, away from other guests if you want. daily items include white rice, fried rice, fried eggs, waffles, bread, croissants, kopi, juice, hot tea, bubur, and fresh fruit. other items some days, fish, chicken, spaghetti. i do miss the omelet bar, that is still closed due to covid. there is seating outside near the pool and deck, where you can smoke. after a week in bangkok, we are going back later this month, before we back to u.s.

It was ok. I booked a king size bed, was given a twin room lower floor. The room show signs of abuse and marks of rust and bubbles on the walls. The pool is nice but very dirty of the leaves that continuously fall from the surrounding pool trees. Stay is pleasant. Food is a bit expensive. 1 beer is almost the same price of 1 dish.

The room is relatively large, but the equipment and decoration are very old, and the cost performance is not high. In addition, it is best to book each day separately when booking with Ctrip, otherwise when you want to refund later, the combined booking will be counted as one order and cannot be refunded.

Old Hotel.. but the maintenance quite good. Got garden,got swing pool..Night can enjoy some music! Just the front counter can work faster or not. Too slow for my guess to queue...

Hotel have a good location in the township. Good access to lotte shopping. Good breakfast in the morning and room wise it's huge. Loving the room design and service they have here. Downside is parking b2 stinks bad. And elevator can be really slow in the morning during peak hour.... Elevator is buggy too where is misses floor sometimes... :( killing down a bit of the overall experience

kinda old school type hotel, good maintenance, but not at all sectors, few cracks on pool floor, old hair dryer in bathroom not functioning, fridge of course is not functioning as well, parking lot kinda dark and quite like in old factory, toiletries and amenities is quite well equipped, bathtub available in each room

I'll give it a 2. The staff are nice and the gym is very well equipped for a hotel gym. The gym itself ill give a 5 star but the hotel it self is very run down and old. Original room had no hot water , occasionally Luke warm at best, and the aircon was dismal. After complaining they informed me they sent a technician to the room and the water should be ok. Nothing had changed. Upon further enquiries I was shifted to a new grand deluxe room 1 floor up (15). The room was slightly fancier but still very dated. The lights occasionally made loud buzzing noises for no reason. Aircon and hot water was still an issue. For the price I paid (roughly $100 a night) I am extremely disappointed. $50 a night might be more reasonable if you can handle subpar aircon and hot water. The convenience of having a mall attached is handy for somewhere like jakarta. Oh and there was a flood in the hallway of level 14 one night.

Hotel is in good location but beware after late night you won't see any shops open even the convenience shop closes by 10 -10.30 pm at night . There are street food shops outside but quality is not that good . Hotel has in premises restaurant which closes by 11 at night . They do serve alcoholic drinks. Bar is available in the hotel. Security is there in the hotel but not the best they don't screen everyone while entering the lift . Eventhough room was clean observed there are small roaches in the toilet . They do have smoking and non smoking rooms with air con. Safety lockers are available and they work properly . Hot water and bathroom flush worked properly. Tried Nasi goreng with telur in their restaraunt and it was damn good but payment is only via cash . Try to have indonesian rupiah in hand for payments.

The hotel has its pro and cons and based on your  travel purpose.  Pro . location in glodok, Chinatown, 1km close to Kota tua. Interesting if you are an explorer and want to walk around a bit, understand the most humble of local life, and only go back to hotel to sleep. You can easily find indomaret, maxim the grocer and breakfast place on the gloria alley. for dinner, pancoran food lane will work. . friendly concierge, I really love their smiles . rather cheap comparing to neighboring novotel or grand paragon holiday inn . hot water works,  AC works, 2 single beds,  cons .despite strategic location, everything closes early like afternoon or 6pm. if you want to enjoyor night life, go to kota tua or book hotel there instead . super smelly towels, like they only wash their towels with water but no detergent . only the most basic amenities are provided. no hairdryer, water kettle, tea coffee, spoon, fridge. There were only 2 water bottles, 2 toothbrush, 2 toothpaste, 2 towels (no face towels), 2 glass cups, 1 pair of slippers that dont work . they give us 2 cards but only 1 will work, you have to decide which one... . you have to log in to wifi every day
