ibis Styles Jakarta Mangga Dua Square

Absolutely terrible. The room's window was fake, opening to a wall and a makeshift canopy further out. The entire hotel seemed to be under one big tent. In my room, the bathroom drain was faulty, causing water to spill out everywhere after a shower. I wonder if other rooms have the same issue. The facilities are ancient; the bedside lamp wouldn't turn off. It took ages for the front desk to send someone, only to find out it was broken. Breakfast food quality was awful, completely inedible. For the same price, it doesn't even compare to another hotel near the airport. Avoid at all costs.

It's super noisy. I'd recommend booking just one night first. If you can handle the noise, then extend your stay. With two or three hundred rooms, you'll definitely be able to rebook the next day. The noise comes from the hallway floors; every time someone walks by, it's a loud 'thump, thump, thump,' and it's like that on the entire floor. Imagine a loose floorboard right outside your room – every step makes a loud thud, and the whole hallway is like that. Seriously, book one day max, because if you book more, you can't get a refund. The room lighting isn't great either; it's all strip lights. Girls would probably need to use their phone flashlights to do their makeup. Remember, book one day at most, and only extend if you can tolerate it.
