An affordable hotel with a nice roof top pool with a view to the Jakarta skyline to the south.
Food was ok, pretty much the same as you get anywhere in 3-star Indonesian hotels. Their "bubur" or rice pudding is worth trying.
I had two rooms for my stay here. This hotel is surrounded by several government departments, and so lots of guests are here from other areas in Indonesia to meet with different government agencies. The problem I had with the first room, was the guests next door yelling and being noisy since I checked in. When they still kept going at midnight, I called reception, which seemed to sort out the issue. Next morning at 5am, they were up again, yelling and screaming. I later explained the issue, and the hotel receptionist was very professional, and gave me a new room of my choice straight away.
Both rooms were old and dark, and both were smoking rooms, and reeked of old cigarette smell. I asked for non-smoking, but they didn't distinguish between smoking and non-smoking.
In the hallway, the ceiling was falling apart, and some areas didn't have ceiling plates anymore, and you could see straight to the inner construction.
Wifi and internet was really bad in the first room, but the second room was a whole lot better. Both in terms of speed and reliability.
In general the building had seem much better days, and I strongly think a major upgrade is needed.
