Somerset Sudirman Jakarta

Location, view, efficiency, kindness, receptionists ALL top, friendly, english skills, friendly and helpful doorman, friendly breakfast staff, well mannered, nice design, spacious interior, very clean. They immediately sent the technician when the light did not go out in the shelf. Fast problem solving.

Despite the general cleanliness when I moved in, I found the hairs of the previous guest still in the shower, but it can happen, no problem. Maybe tell your cleaning staff to clean the walls in the shower too :)

The swimming pool and the building in general The view on the skyline

They charge 50% of a day to do an early check in

Spacious; clean; comfortable bed; stable water shower; bowls and plates were provided in the little kitchen and there is a fridge which makes it easy for me to prepare my own breakfast daily; there is a washing and dryer machine which is convenient for my long work trip

Kitchen light can't turn off; wardrobe light also can't turn off; the drinking water tap is not usable because when I turn it on, the water has odour, which means the bottled water has been left there for long. So, I ended up having to buy my own water from the Indomart a few blocks away; being a light sleeper, I didn't have good sleep because every day 4am+ the praying will start at the mosque next door

Nice looking hotel with good facilities (sauna, pool, gym etc) and varied all-you-can eat breakfast for about €8,50 and the possibility of ordering a good meal for about the same price via roomservice the rest of the day. Staff/receptionists are friendly and extremely helpful, e.g. arranging transport (extensively texting and calling Travel Agents to take you to other parts of Java) and setting me up with a (more luxurious for the same price) room to help me escape the noise from Mosques' calls to prayer (see "didn't like"). Really, 6 out of 5 stars for the receptionists.

Although the Sudirman area is a good central area to stay in Jakarta, the hotel is surrounded by various mosques, whose calls to prayer are a real nuisance, at least in the middle of the night. During Ramadan it was even worse, but also after that had ended the 4AM chants continued and regularly woke me up despite wearing earplugs. It is, admittedly, a widespread phenomenon throughout Jakarta and Indonesia, probably impossible to escape altogether no matter what part of the city you are staying and obviously not the hotel itself that is creating the noise, but the sheer volume of the religious chants and the number of mosques creating it do to some extent diminish the 'location' rating.

I appreciated the tight security, the attitude of the staff checking in and out. The overall stay was truly an experience. You enter the lobby and it smells nice, its bright , infused water is available for guests. The room was a good size with a stove, microwave,washing machine,water filter, cutleries (almost a full kitchen really) and this was the basic room. I loved the balcony, the noise from outside was minimal, the room was bright enough. The walls were not thin so you dont hear much noise from the next rooms. Bed was comfortable, extra pillows were provided.

The towels couls be replaced as they seem a little old and one of them had a musky smell.

Spacious, clean although I saw a few black ants running in the bathroom everyday but they dont affect me, comfortable bed; aircon can be controlled to comfortable level

Breakfast variety is limited, I ate almost the same thing everyday for 6 days; I booked this hotel because of its launderette service but that level was under renovation so I have to do the washing in my room, very disappointed

This is a very nice hotel in the center of Jakarta. The staff were very polite and exceptionally helpful, especially when ordering taxi services etc. The room was super clean, modern, quiete and well equipped. The view from the room and small terrace overlooking the cityscape was pretty amazing and probably the best we saw in Jakarta - worth the cost of the room for sure! The pool was very nice for a good swim and sauna was also nice, really enjoyed both. I would stay here again for a short stay. There was also an excellent place for breakfast close by called ROTI BAKAR KEMANG, which does amazing banana pancakes! :-)

Its a bit difficult to walk anywhere in this district with few pavements- but this is probably true of most areas of Jakarta. Also when we arrived there was nowhere in the hotel where we could get a quick coffee or snack, which was a bit of a shame.

Lii oh belt view of central Jakarta. My partner and I stayed here for a day after flying from the UK to Indonesia, with our flight to Bali being the following day. Took us 30 mins from the airport to the hotel but the hotel was located nearby the main hustle and bustle of the city. We’re we’re very close to the big shopping malls. The pool was lovely and the buffet breakfast had some Indonesian staple foods that I enjoyed.

The air-conditioning in the room didn’t work very well.

Place is nice and clean, got a free upgrade to a room w/ kitchen for free, the bathroom and main room are clean and tidy, breakfast is good but a bit lacking in variety for main courses.

Got 2 bathrobes but one had its lace stripped already, hair dryer wasn't working, thought TV had Netflix but it's not though it's not really big of a deal, parking system can be bit improved by informing the system bit clearly. The room doesn't specify amenities rules (what are allowed to take and what aren't), switches for stoves etc should be labelled cause they're pretty confusing.

We came to the basketball World cup, so we choose this hotel because it is close to Indonesia Arena. And it was good choise. Stay was very comfortable - staff was friendly and helpful, rooms are clean, kitchen is pretty well equipped. Also we liked infinity pool and sauna. Also we liked dining options around hotel - especially local food restaurant Nirmala (you can find it on google maps) and Chucks Cattle - steak house on main street in front of hotel. Also close is Pizza Hut, BarBurger (local burger)
