Holiday Inn & Suites Jakarta Gajah Mada by IHG
We absolutely loved our stay here. The buffet breakfast was varied and delicious and the room was comfortable and inviting. Our kids especially enjoyed the lovely rooftop pool. The hotel is only a short 20min walk to Kota Tua and the historical sites. Highly recommend this hotel if you are vacationing ...
