- Name of the hotel:
Novotel Jakarta Gajah Mada

- What is your Le Club status?
Platinum

- Were you (or for multi-stayers were you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes

- Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
For this my third stay here my Superior Room booking got an upgrade to Superior Suite. I had to wait 2 hours for it to be ready, but no regrets.

- How are the rooms?
Superior Suite is very generous in size and has an interesting design

- What was good and what was bad?

Good:
* Very nice upgrade, affording ample space in the very dense Jakarta
* Nice location in the old downtown area, with easy access to transportation
* Very affordable, good quality food in the restaurant/for room service
* Nice gym, steam and sauna
* Nice staff who for the most part understand and honor LCAH program
* Very reasonable rates for all of these

Bad:
* Swimming pool is small-ish, but the area is nice for afternoon breeze

- Did you get club lounge access? How was the lounge?
Yes, it's a nice lounge offering afternoon tea only. On Sunday the lounge was closed and afternoon tea was served at the bar instead. Breakfast is served in the main restaurant.

- What about welcome drinks, welcome amenities or any other special perks?
* No welcome drink voucher, instead I was prompted to have it at the bar while waiting for the suite to be ready; a syrupy concoction. Another (same) welcome drink was waiting in the suite when I stepped in.
* A plate of fruits were waiting in the room.

- Value for $ or Vouchers? Would you return?
I like the place for a little mini-weekend break, just using its facilities. Will absolutely return, taking advantage of the weekly Weekend Rush or one of Accor sale promos.
