Holiday Inn & Suites Jakarta Gajah Mada

I had booked a standard room, but was kindly upgraded to a one-bedroom suite with a city view. The receptionist was absolutely fantastic. I secretly checked her name, wrote it down and later mentioned in my feedback. I prefer writing compliments than complains.

My room for one night

The suite was enormous for just one person. I couldn’t resist taking photos from every possible angle.


First room

Had its own small bathroom



Bedroom with a big, comfy bed

I expected better coffee in Indonesia. Glad I brought my own

Plenty of space to store stuff

Ensuit bathroom

Amenities

My plan was to check out the swimming pool, grab a good coffee, and then enjoy some proper Indonesian food. But first, I decided to test how comfortable the sofa was. Three hours later, I woke up to the sound of a noisy aircon.

So much for the swimming pool.

I opened Google Maps to look for nearby coffee shops, only to doze off again. This time for another four hours. I finally woke up, now quite hungry. So much for all my plans...

As it was already past ten, I ordered room service: Mie Goreng Jawa noodles with a papaya juice.

It was only a short stay, but I wouldn’t have minded a few more days.
