Jambuluwuk Mansion Pakubuwono

The room was clean, large, and spacious, with hot water and access to a shared kitchen, all within a big, well-maintained residence. The staff were very kind and helpful with all our requests. The neighborhood is very quiet. It's a bit away from the modern city center, but it's easy to reach by local buses.

When you request room cleaning, it’s best to remember to lock the door afterward.

Room size. In a rather quiet neighborhood. Hot water available. AC works good.

The bed isn't comfortable, it's been used for a while. The pillow is flat. There're signs of molds. The paint job isn't good. The furniture is flimsy, they're not from solid wood.

This is a good place to stay with very friendly staff, a nice pool, and spacious rooms with good AC. Considering the price per night it is to expect that the rooms are a bit old, the bathrooms mildly smelly and show some wear and tear, and that you occationally meet a geko, bug, or some mosquitoes in your room. In my experience this is completely normal for the price range. The place has no non-smoking rooms, but I didn't notice any smell in mine, and the staff let you choose your room so check more than one! Also, if you want the room cleaned extra well, all you have to do is ask the staff. They are extremely accommodating. The pool was clean during my stay, and I went swimming almost daily. A recent review criticized the road next to the place (among other things). I do not know why; yes, traffic is dense, but there are two pedestrian crossings close by, and as any place in Jakarta u have to find the right moment to cross and the traffic let you through. I stayed here for two weeks, and not so many western tourists come here. The local area is interesting, and this is a perfect base for a couple of days - or longer - exploring southern parts of Jakarta. I can recommend: - Check out the small local park called Taman Langsat a little south of this place (makes a good morning run) - Try eating at Rumah Makan Putra Minang (Padang food), some of the best, and extremely affordable - There are several more high-end places around, but I never cared to check them out. - Explore the local Pasar, Pasar Mayestik and the textile shops in the area. The pasar food court serves yammy Bakso. - Blok M with shops and food markets is approx 20-30 minutes walk away, or a 15-20 000k Gojek scooter ride. I had a pleasurable stay here, and would recommend the place if you are not scared away by my review :-)

Some bathrooms a bit smelly at times (due to rainy season?). The rooms could benefit from a "deep cleaning" a couple of times per year. The place is not soundproof, but there was not a lot of noise during my stay.

This hotel was a great choice! The room was spacious and comfortable, and the bathroom was modern and clean. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with a smile. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a pleasant and hassle-free stay.

The staff were nice and friendly.

We had high expectations due to the rating, but for the first time in our lives, we actually ended up forfeiting any refund or any nights, a decision we made gladly and without any regret. We'd been put into a smoking room, which the atmosphere and the stench really drove home. The room was dirty - worse than anything we've seen in Indonesia. The bathroom was covered in scales, the pool was grimy and murky and the showerhead made both of us nauseous. The yellow tinge on everything in the room and the sticky residue on the walls from smoking made us question when the place was last cleaned. Not to mention the sticky trails on the nightstands. The location wasn't ideal. If one is used to Indonesian traffic and the culture regarding crossing the street, them maybe it's better than we could see. The traffic made it impossible for us to cross, and so we couldn't see much of the area. The street is _very_ busy. Leaving, we were told there would be no refund, which we were okay with - we ordered non-refundable, so that's just how it is. The reception paid for our taxi to the next location, which we appreciated. They also offered us a non smoking room, but at that point, we had just had it with the hygiene, or lack thereof. I recommend paying for refundable bookings. Don't trust the ratings blindly.

The location was convinient and it also provide parking space

Nothing in particular but the toilet was having a bit of an issue. It was difficult to flush
