Guest Reviews
- Verified traveler (4/5): Needs to be demolished and rebuilt - Very run down place. Stains on walls, etc. afraid to open the cupboard and drawers.
- Mohamad Safarinur (10/5): - The hotel give me back the good memories (been there in 1991)
- Mattias (4/5): - The Hotel is very rum-down and shabby, dirty and we do not recommend this hotel
- Vasile (10/5): - Very good
- Saurabh (2/5): - Very old property, needs a complete revamp
Room had stains, poor hygiene
- Bedadventurer (2/5): Bad - This is NOT a 4 stars hotel, Don't let the advertisement deceive you. The hotel is old, dirty and not well maintained!. if you need to find a place to stay in Jakarta, please look somewhere else. The room is really old and almost all of the amenities were damaged, The bathroom felt like a murder scene. Yes it's cheap, yes it was advertised as a 4 but please stay away if you can
- Choowai (4/5): Needs a renovation and food sucks - I was delighted when they emailed to reply that my request for king sized bed on high floor. When I checked into my room on 6th floor after midnight, I was so disappointed as the toilet, air-con, switches were so old. The traffic was so loud that I had to request for change of room.
They kindly obliged and put me in room facing the pool. Room was clean and comfortable, but there was no safe and amenities very run down.
As we stayed on Friday till Sunday, the office and eateries at neighboring towers were all closed. They told us there is no food available, so we ate at the restaurant. Food was very bad.
On the last evening, I discovered that just behind the hotel, there were many hawkers at the backlane. Why couldn't they just tell us that honestly despite our asking at concierge and reception over two consecutive night?
- rachmaaliaa (6/5): Oldy,spooky but goldy - First impression when i came into this hotel was, it was very old hotel but located in central place where you can go anywhere easily, beside the hotel there is XXI and Fast food restaurant also coffee shop. the room was big and clean but i needed more lights, I stayed here for 3 days and brought dinner from outside but too bad the room service did not even touch it to be cleaned, the only sign i knew that the room service was in my room because of my bed become neat. the food was nice you will have some options to eat and the taste also fine. i had one unique experience during my stay here, i was awake till 4am and bell doors was rang for severak times, no one was outside and when the last day i wanted to check out, the lift was stop in every floor from 6th to 1st floor but no one was there.
- Donovan81 (6/5): Old Glory - Location is amazing, central, close to malls, cinema, restaurants. General facilities are still good, but the rooms are old and the toilet really disappointing, especially the shower/bath. Average overall.
- jeremyevan (8/5): A good old hotel - I was living at deluxe room and the room didn’t get renovation so looked a bit old. The room is comfy but the lightning isn’t really bright, the socket is very little, i only can use 2 socket for lamp and kettle, and another problem is the hot water isn’t hot but it’s warm so it’s a little bit annoying for me, and lastly i think the hotel must give more lightning for outside of the building because at night the building looks scary.
Overall the design is still good but please give renovation to the room. The bed is comfortable, the channel of the tv is so complete, it has big window, etc.
Thx i’ll come again
- borahs (6/5): Just another Average hotel! - Traveled on business trip and stayed there for 7 nights.
Pros: ****Strategically located in Gatot subroto which is one of the business hub in Jakarta with most of the banks and telcos having offices in the area.
****Great Breakfast options- both English and local varieties
****Decent room size and amenities
****comfortable bed & pillows
Cons: **May be it was a great hotel once upon a time but as of now hotel lacks maintenance
**During my stay i found sauna was out of order and lacks maintenance
* Most disappointing was gym. Considering i am a fitness freak my top priority is Gym & fitness center for any kind of travel. When i reviewed KC Gym online it was exciting and decided to book it. However, after landing at their gym i felt i was cheated- all they had a treadmill, one equipment and few dumbbells. Extremely disappointed. I had confronted their front desk team about such poor gym facility which they acknowledged.
So please upgrade your fitness center and equip it with what you have sown online for marketing purpose.
- tristanwayfarer (2/5): This hotel doesn't deserve any of its stars! - The hotel is poorly maintained, lights don't work in the room, and sometimes lamps don't even have a switch. AC can't be turned off, and even at hottest temperature room is still freezing. It's a problem because there's no hot water in the shower. The carpets, furniture are disgusting, with stains and the room smells of humidity. The bed, pillow and linens are clean and comfortable. But the ceiling fire detector emits a bright green light that makes falling asleep difficult. To conclude this poor experience the food is under average albeit with a decent buffet breakfast, and don't get your laundry done there. The collar of my shirt was smelling of fried onions after coming back from pressing. I feel sorry for the nice staff who have to endure working in this property, all of them were very polite and pleasant, and eager to help as they could to make the stay better. I highly suggest to avoid this place at all cost!
- niaadjie (8/5): Old but comfy - Stayed here 2 nights. The bed was comfortable, with 2 pillows each which is very important for me because I need to hug something when sleeping hahaha...
The bathroom was clean but shower curtain needs to be replaced.
- destiprizki (6/5): Overclaimed 4 stars hotel - A 48 years old hotel, was a luxury hotel back at its time.
Pros:
- low occupancy on weekend
- strategic location
- nice hot water and water pressure
- friendly staffs
- check in check out process are fast
Cons:
- worn out old hotel with worn out furnitures and facilities
- quite dark and creepy (especially on 3rd floor, 2nd floor was brighter)
- front office gave me room without bathtub at first, when I'm clearly paid a room with bathtub. Luckily we changed room immediately after complain
- for a 4 stars hotel, food choices during breakfast are too limited and the taste so so
- SetanPiknik (8/5): an old hotel need to be fixed to strikes back - i've got a room in 6th floor, walk along the corridors ; wallpaper need to be replaced, the carpet how old is it ?
in my bathroom, bath tub mode, shower curtain need to be replaced, water shower need to be fixed/replaced, no bathroom mattress provided
except bathroom, room is normal, but i was impressed by room service uniform, suit with tie and so catchy color, that the best room service uniform that i ever saw
FO desk handled smooth and fast, bell boy having good communication skill, room steward also remarkable
breakfast run so well, all FB staff added so quick food availability
although an old building hotel, but they still maintain their main asset very well, human resource
many of them already worked for a long period of services, respect
located in strategic area in jakarta, wide parking area and next to movie theatre
- ErwinKristanto (6/5): Vintage Hotel - If you are looking for a vintage 80's hotel than this ia your place. This hotel ia the place. This hotel have a medium size ballroom for 600 to 800 people and a spacious room. Located on Gatot Subroto street, it Will help you get to Kuningan Goverment office on no time.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Staffs are absolutely kind and responsive. Room is enough to take a rest and do work. Very good location to visit other company and Ministries.
But the gym facility is supposed to be renovated and invested, the current facilities are too old and out-of-maintenance. Pool is big enough, but it seems it need to be cleaned.
In general, satisfied but some need to improve.
- LauraG762 (2/5): The most terrible experience I’ve ever had in a hotel - I’ve been all around the world, my office put me two weeks in this terrible hotel, it seems I was the only foreigner. The hotel is the eldest in Jakarta, is big. The bathroom exploded in water coming out and leaking all over the place. They said it was fixed but in fact they had cut off the water. But first and foremost, NOBODY at the front desk spoke any English language every time I asked for laundry service the made a manner with their hands indicating they did not have, to which it was impossible because every morning a guy came to ask if any laundry was needed but not to me because I spoke in English and not Indonesian. The front desk manager could not make a sentence of three words. They asked me to pay with their hands because nobody spoke English. The restaurant room service said: “no have” the only three times I asked for room service because nobody spoke English. Deplorable their service, their manners, everything, it was 5 minutes walking distance from my office and I never felt so miserable and mistreated at “ international hotel” , they should have a sign NO FOREIGNERS WE DONT SPEAK ENGLISH! Horrible experience, the breakfast was oily, fruit was disgusting old fruits, juices are from fake concentrate and I got a bad infection that sent me to doctors. Please DO NOT GO to this hotel. They will make sure your experience will be overwhelmingly bad!!!
- Hock Seng (6/5): Worst internet connection - I guess this hotel believe that you are not suppose to demand for any standard when it come to free WiFi. Connection speed at open space area is good but the internet connection does not permit you to make a simple WhatsApp call. It is worst when you are trying to use the WiFi in your room. The connection keeps dropping. Thumb down...
- nyomancoup (10/5): One of the most prestigious hotel in jakarta - The hotel was built on 1971 .. old enough but still very beautiful. Located not so far from semanggi bridge.. a legendary interchange flyover clover leaf look like.. javanese style dominated the decoration of the hotel.. the ball room looks big enough. Seem like thousand of people or guests can attend to congratulate the couple who married there.. the room has wall to wall carpet with soft color .. can ease our emotional tone .. so that we can rest and relax in the middle of crowded city like jakarta.. tennis lawn court and swimming pool was served to maintain your body stay fit and health
- johnlevi17 (6/5): Old hotel - very old hotel, old inside and old rooms
but this is my famous hotel in 1970's hahaha
good pool, good food and good hospitality
hope they can keep the good hospitality until today and until the hotel closed
- ahmedrabbani (10/5): Home away from home, Nice people to stay with - I'm staying in this hotel since last three months. Very nice, humble and pleasant people. Very nice facility, very nice and good room, nice bath room and comfortable environment. Employee and management of this hotel makes sure that customer is 100% satisfied and happy. Any complaint is handled and resolved immediately. Breakfast is taken seriously and staff makes it sure that customer's day starts with a lavish complimentary breakfast. On my suggestion, Continental Breakfast menu was enhanced very next day, they are open mind, open heart and open to suggestion.
Your suggestion is taken seriously, and hotel's active and submissive staffs make it sure that your request is fulfilled ASAP. I had internet issue, IT, Network manager and hotel manager immediately rushed with all equipment and staff, and the problem was resolved with permanent solution in less than an hour. As Indonesian's are famous for their hospitality, submissiveness and kind attitude towards visitors, this hotel is example of their national characteristic. Far away from home, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada this hotel Kartika Chandra is my second home. Nice people to stay with
- Fridapudpud (8/5): visit this place for wedding ceremony - i think kartika chandra have big ballroom and they have so many vendor with good quality..i love this place except parking areaaa..so wasting time to get parking almost 1 hours so sad..
i forgot..one years ago i have experience stay i this hotel and lovely 🤗
- febrianip2016 (8/5): Good location, good food, friendly staf, but a little bit spooky - Located in the heart of the Jakarta city. Super easy to access. The room is big, the facility is complete but it is an old building which makes a little bit spooky for me. I stayed on the 4th floor, the decoration is dominated by red colour which made it a little bit dark compare the other floor (floor 7 has a white and gold theme). If you want to stay I suggest staying at the 5th or 7th floor especially if you alone.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Nice location. Reasonable price. Staffs are friendly. But, need renovation for shower (not easy control water temperature), bath tab and shower head are not clean enough, some spaces between windows.
- Susan (8/5): Pls remember to check the gust when they check out - Hotel service are good , except the casher was missed the room was paid before check out , forget to inform when the visitor was looking for me !
- 310vipula (8/5): Experience to stay at Kartika Chandra - Location is good and Great hospitality by staff. Rooms are bigger than any other hotel nearby but renovation Required to upgrade rooms.
Food was good enough and Had my good time at Kartika Chandra.
24*7 is just next to this hotel where you can buy something for your daily use or snacks etc etc. If you are a Japanese Food Lover, There is a restaurant called Henkaben (something like that) I don't remember the name correctly.
Overall Good Stay and Perfect Location for Business travelers.
- HennyKusuma (10/5): Super comfortable stay - This hotel has a javanese-heritage-feels. So vintage; you can feel it since the first step you're inside. The lobby was spacious but ordinary, not really ambient but thank God the free wifi is great.
Inside the hotel room is the best part! The bed, the atmosphere, the shower, amenities was great! The room was spacious even with 2 sofas and other small chairs. Except for the wifi that keeps crashing, I'll give 9/10 for the stay.
- 961intand (10/5): The best experience stay in Kartika Chandra Hotel - The best experience stay in Kartika Chandra Hotel . Have a strategic location, complete facilites like gym , swimming pool , near cinemas and the most important is taste of the food . Thank you Kartika Chandra !
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Struttura e camere datate ma accettabili.
Manca un safe-box in camera ed i bagni sono proprio da rifare, almeno per sanitari e rubinetteria.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The hotel had an "old style" feeling from the seventies. The people were very friendly and helpful but the whole hotel feel was slightly run down. I started off in an old room and the electrics which would have originally been state of the art were very tired and some didnt work. The upgraded room was a little better. The breakfast buffet was disappointing in many ways. They tried to make varied with different asian styles of food available but in the end it was poor quality and more like a canteen with very bad coffee. Sorry to be negative but overall I did like the place. It should definitly be classified as Three Stars and not 3.5/4.
- jung (6/5): 편리한 교통과 객실의 조용함으로 비지니스에 적합함 - 비지니스상 택시를 많이 이용하는데 접근이 용이하고 직원들 서비스가 친절함.
수영장이 있어 가족단위 수영도 즐길수 있음. 다만 Expedia로 예약을 하고 체크인하는데 전산상 어레인지가 잘안되어 20여분을 기다리는 불편함이 있었음
- Mr.Chung (6/5): - 시내 중심에 위치하고있어서 교통이 편리하고, 업무 보기에 매우 편리함, 주변에 한국 음식점들이 많은 지역으로 비지니스 접대에도 좋은 호텔임. 직원들도 친절한 편임.
- HongJoo (2/5): 객실 청결도, 프론트의 문제점. - 현지 로컬 호텔로 프론트에서 영어를 잘 못함.
객실에서 냄새가 타고 카펫이 적어 있고 ㅠ
물도 졸졸졸.
체크 아웃하고 바로 나오고 싶었음.
추천하고 싶지 않네요.
인도네시아 현지 분들은 어떨 지 모르겠으나 외국인 숙박시 문제점이
많네요

- Verified traveler (2/5): Tooooooooooooo old... please don't - dirty. old. not good service. i coludnt find any good reason for using this hotel.
- nobuyuki (6/5): Nice hitel has always set on Blue bird taxi.
- About cleanness and flatness of carpet is rough on floor between elevator to each room.
It seems like retired person, little bit tired of fatigue. It is just my feeling.
But my room is enough to spend no problem. Once I used business centre,but
Some computer is out of hand with no signal of Internet.the latest for current
Technology has to be prepared.
