Having said that, Jakarta is getting MRT line that will connect city centre to the remote part where IC is located. They started trial run this month, perhaps will be fully functional very soon.
Yeah Ian Uk also mentioned area was not choice but price wise, I got about £90 for club room/lounge which I thought rather good ... cheaper than a travel lodge and with a 2 level upgrade. Have zero experience of the territory so may well end up to agree with you all but value wise I was more than pleased.
