An Absolute Gem in Jakarta â Exceptional Experience!
This was my first time in Jakarta, but as an experienced world traveler with stays at top hotels across the globe, I can confidently say this hotel is an undiscovered jewel. Unlike the usual tourist hotspots, it offers an unparalleled level of comfort and service.
My room was simply outstandingâfeaturing a spacious walk-in closet, an enormous bathroom divided into three separate areas (shower, dual sinks, and toilet), and a beautifully designed bedroom/studio. This stay was my stopover before heading to Sorong for a diving trip, and the hotelâs Olympic-sized saltwater pool was a game-changer. It allowed me to check my dive gearâsomething often frowned upon in the U.S.âwhile also preparing for my dives with some solid swim sessions.
The spa was at the level of a top-tier Japanese spa (and I say this having just been in Tokyo two weeks ago). Breakfast was exceptional, offering a perfect mix of Western and Indonesian optionsâEggs Benedict done to perfection, incredible local dishes, fresh juices, and expertly crafted coffee drinks. I also had a fantastic Indonesian chicken soup for lunch at the cafĂ©âabsolutely delicious.
The location is another huge plus. The hotel has direct access to Plaza Indonesia, and the magnificent Grand Indonesia Mall is just next doorâmaking everything incredibly convenient.
One of the true highlights of my stay was the exceptional hospitality. The staffâs warmth and attentiveness were beyond me!
