Room

I am not particularly fussy about the rooms I stay in, partly because I sleep very well no matter what the bed is like. As long as it's clean, I am happy. If it's a warm country I like air conditioning. A cold country, I don't mind no heating, so long as the blanket is warm!

So for all the exciting extras that they offer me, I am very happy to just have a nice bed. I barely watch tv so the 48-inch High Definition LED TV really didn't get a whole lot of use while I was there.

A panorama of the bedroom. Note the twin beds. I know there are some people would sleep alternately between the beds, but I really couldn't be bothered.



Unfortunately the photo is a bit dark, but to the far right of the photo is a table which I used for all my work. There is an ethernet cable which gives better internet connection than the wifi. I do find it slightly strange when hotels offer free internet to guests like they're doing something really amazing, when I think that, especially top hotels, this should be automatic. What do you think?

I found the bed very very comfortable and I slept pretty well. There is one slight problem for those who are light sleepers. Noise from downstairs can make it to the lower floor rooms. I could hear music from my room during the day and at night so I'm not sure how other people slept. I can sleep through a lot so it didn't really bother me.

A panorama of the bathroom. Quite a nice set up, but the space between the toilet and the shower door is not ideal, as the floor mat actually doesn't fit which seems a bit of a weird design flaw --- surely they should just select a smaller floor mat?



Unfortunately the view out of the room is hardly what one could call ideal, but you can get a decent idea of the area through my two (short time lapse) videos one in the evening. Really it's kinda the view you expect --- building work and a haze.


And the other one in the morning. I actually quite like this time lapse as the sun tries to break through the clouds/haze. It's pretty amazing how much haze I saw on my first morning, which was a Friday. Maybe it was because Friday is a work day, but the below was taken on a Sunday morning and the haze wasn't as bad.


They'll be part of a larger video I make on my trip to Jakarta

And although I didn't take any pictures out of the room window, I would say that it appears the outside is beginning show signs of it's age. Looks like it needed to be cleaned up a bit

The one room service that I did take advantage of in the hotel was the shoe shine. After a whole day of walking around in my suit shoes they really needed a buff up before I went back to the office the following week.
