The 1O1 Jakarta Sedayu Darmawangsa

I have bad experience with this hotel

Liked: Greeted by friendly helpful staff who provided me with an unexpected room upgrade. Room with very tidy, with a good view. Location was excellent.

Overall very pleasant boutique hotel with great location and access to the mall

Pretty good room for the price. Only stayed one night because of a concert. Would stay here again

the property offers excellent value with a prime location that makes getting around easy and convenient. cleanliness is top notch, and the facilities are good, providing comfortable experience. staff were friendly and helpful, though there's slight room for improvement. overall. it's solid choice for anyone seeking a well maintained place in a walkable area.

Liked: Location, being connected to a mall helps, with basic necessitiea with a supermarket, restaurants and coffeeplaces. Convenient. Front staff was great. Love it, from the first greeting and to the last goodbye.

Disliked: Perhaps have the staff prepare exact change when paying cash.

Liked: Almost everything. What I appreciated most was how calm the hotel felt. From the moment I arrived, a staff member opened the car door and offered to help with my luggage. Even while waiting for my room, the clean, quiet and pleasantly scented lobby made the experience relaxing. The room was better than I expected from the photos. It was spacious enough for two adults, the bed was extremely comfortable, the bathroom was great, and everything worked perfectly. I loved the lighting, the twelfth-floor view, the air-conditioning and especially the surprisingly good soundproofing. The interior was tasteful without being over-the-top, and the amenities were complete. The staff were genuinely excellent. Mr Imron, in particular, helped recommend places to visit, and even helped arrange a late check-out until 6 PM because of my late flight. That was incredibly helpful. And the location is simply 10/10. Cafes, good food, convenience stores and easy access to taxis/Grab are everywhere. If you want to explore Jakarta through its food, nightlife and youth culture rather than just the usual tourist spots, this is a fantastic place to stay.

Disliked: Honestly, there isn’t much I can complain about. The only thing I would change is the gym’s opening hours. I understand why the swimming pool has operating hours, but I would personally love to see the gym available 24 hours, especially for guests who prefer exercising early in the morning or late at night. Other than that, I genuinely struggled to find anything I disliked about the hotel.

Liked: This is an extraordinary design hotel, with some beautiful folkloric details. In South Jakarta – whether this location is ideal or not may depend on the purpose of your visit in Jakarta. It suited me perfectly. The hotel is situated in the Darmawangsa Square mall, inter-connected with internal doors form the lobby: the mall tiny for Jakarta standards, but with refined fashion boutiques, tailor for quality clothing, restaurants and cafes, supermarket, pharmacy, money changer, etc. Within 30 minutes ride (traffic jam can make things a nightmare sometimes, though) you reach the Block M, grand stylish Senayan Mall with cinemas, coolest bars of Gunawarman area, many museums and galleries. The post office branch is 3 minute walk away. The northern entertainment hub of Jakarta and some other important locations may be far, up to 1 hour or more ride, but generally I find this location very satisfactory. The hotel staff, without exception, are among the friendliest I met, and I received endless smiles at every opportunity. They were also helpful in resolving personal matters. A special thanks to Cecil who helped me purchase a rare vinyl. As for the rooms, business class is worth the price difference, as it gives a much more pleasant ambience in the room and better city view. TV programme was excellent, several news channels in English, even Russian. Courtesy drinking water, replenished daily, is always a nice gesture. Also daily room cleaning. In summary, excellent impression for pretty much everything.

Disliked: Isolation was not perfect in the non-business class room – one night at least I could hear screaming from neighbouring room. Wardrobe space is limited. Erotic channels seem to be blocked by the hotel internet provider, which I find strange as these materials are widely available on the net. Taxi vehicles have to make 2 or 3 circles around the mall to get to the hotel lobby entrance, an awkward solution, which adds a few minutes to each taxi ride.
