    Too many mosquitoes at the rabbit feeding area, poolside and even in the room balcony. Lift is slow moving. Lightings in the room definitely need improvement. Quite dull in the evening. Walls are too thin that I can hear people talking from another room. Questionable on the privacy and security of the rooms as I was surprised to find someone watering the plants outside my room at the balcony. He must’ve climbed over from another room. Definitely not what I expected to see after returning from breakfast. If that is being done easily, imagine if someone were to sneak into the room at night and commit crimes as I have 2 children with me! Balcony door was unable to lock from inside as well.

    It was kids friendly. Good playing area, swimming pool and kids zone.

    Swimming pool is deep only 120 cm. You have to pay for EACH entrance to this area 30.000,- IDR per person…even for taxi! No map of this area available in the hotel.

    Hotel is nice and clean. Breakfast is tasty with many possibilities. Free bus for transport in Ancol area (to get some entertainment).

    Isolated and there was a charge to get on site. Getting to the place was very difficult through a special entry and taxis were charged. There was a pass code system but it wasn’t explained well and a new pass was required for every entry which was difficult if you didn’t know you exact movements. Also around the facility seems a bit run down post covid, I guess. Not what I was expecting compared to the website on the area.

    Nice staff and amazing breakfasts.

    Room furnishings were rather basic and hairdryer was only available via request. You’ll also have to pay 25k everytime you go into the Ancol area where the hotel is located.

    Excellent location and the hotel was exceptionally clean with great facilities and a nice lounge/cafe in the lobby. Front desk was extremely helpful and friendly too. They allowed us to check in at 12PM, 3 hours ahead of check-in time. Definitely worth the money!

    The overall service could be improved. We had couple of unpleasant experience during our stay: 1. When we check in, it's a bit hard to find someone who could help us bringing our lugages from car to hotel lobby (we travel with kids and senior citizen and brought several bags, so any help is highly appreciated) 2. After finally we got a cart to bring our lugage, we checked-in as usual. We gave our lugage tag and room number to the bell boy, and he promised to bring them to our room. We waited for more than one hours in our room, but the lugage never came. My husband then came down to lobby to check. It was by surprise that all of our lugages were getting out of the cart (it was already on the cart before) and being abandoned in the lobby. After complaining, then finally we get it delivered. 3. We requested extra bed and paid for it during check-in. We waited for almost 3 hours and called several times to receptionist, but the extra bed was not coming. Only after getting downstairs to lobby to complaint, then the extra bed finally came. 4. The lobby and public facilities are great, but the room is relatively old. There was a lot of stain on the wall and on the carpet. The hallway to the room was a bit smelly also. The bath room is spacious but mouldy on some spots including the bathroom sink. 5. The curtain has no vitrage, which is quite unusual for 4 star hotel. Room lighting (both natural light or electrical) is low, which make it quite gloomy. 6. When we went for breakfast, we were asked to pay for extra person (7 y.o. kid). It is normal and we don't mind at all. There were 4 of us, while the breakfast was for 3 person (with extra bed). We were asked to pay full price (IDR 220k) for the kid.I decided to pay after breakfast. When I queued after breakfast for paying, a family in front of me has 10 y.o. kid and asked to pay IDR 108k. I'm wondering why earlier I was asked to pay higher for smaller kid?

    This hotel has a very nice and modern lobby. The swimming pool and kids club are big and awesome. Room is spacious, bed is comfortable. Location is great, just next to Dufan. We stayed during holiday season, so there were a lot of guests, but the parking lot are spacious, it's still easy to find space to park our car.

    One thing dissapointed me that we were stayingat Ancol area. Thought that the hotels inside there is giving the guest the Ancol pass. Like how it use to be back then. But instead they said they wont give the pass because i book the room from Booking.com So if you are planning to get in and out from Ancol, i suggest book the room directly to their website. I didn't get why the TV was so small for that size of room. The next room have bigger tv. Ac was hot in the middle of the night. I had connecting room and the other room also very hot. Ac always stopping and you have to turn it back on all the time. Bathroom was also fallen apart. Water pressure was ridicilously slow. The sink knob fell out. The lighting was to dark for bathroom. I will not go back to this hotel.

    The lobby is very nice and clean. And i choose this hotel because i was visiting Dufan so it's very convinient. The kids also enjoy the pool.

    There was no view from the room. Asked for a change since we checked in and asked for change quite early so there should be more room. The room looked old and not clean. The breakfast were quite limited and tasted just okay. Really hoping for more. We expected overpriced food but the quality was very disappointing and not hotel level at all.

    Nothing in particular. The lobby looked nice though.
