Guest Reviews
- KAZUHIRO (6/5): - バスタオルを１枚だけでよいので、準備して欲しい。冷房が効きすぎて夜中目が覚めるほどだった
- Dede (10/5): - Dapet banyak relasi baru ,auto jadi eksportir
- Inès (10/5): - Je suis resté 1 nuit Le personnel très accueillant Petit café à côté très sympathique Très bien
- Toshiharu (10/5): - ベッドは大きくふかふかで全体的に昔泊まったときよりも清潔感があったのでよかったです。
- Khalid (10/5): très agréable - Très bien, rien à redire, seul chose un peu étrange la grosse blatte dans la chambre, mais sincèrement à part cela tout est bon. Le thé et le café dispo 24H24 c'est franchement pratique. La gare n'est pas loin, il y a plein de vie dans le quartier, une mosquée une paroisse catholique, des églises protestantes, des temples bouddhistes...
- Khalid (10/5): Très agréable - Vraiment très propre. Juste à deux pas d'une mosquée sympa, de plusieurs temples et de l'église merveilleuse de Notre Dame de Fatima. Du thé, du café, un frigo. Sincerely j'ai rien trouvé à redire. J'ai eu le bonheur de trouver une énorme blatte dans la chambre, mais d'un côté on est chez elle. Rien de plus.
- Herbert (6/5): - Preis Leistung war okay
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great Jakarta Hostel - Great hostel with both dorms and small private rooms that are good value. Central invocation in Gloria, Chinatown near many sites
- emma (10/5): Great hostel, amazing staff. - Beautiful stay in a comfortable hostel with good location and great amenities. Comunal kitchen and plenty of seatonv areas with TV and netflix. Staff really friendly and cafe on site.
- einar (8/5): Friendly & decent budget hotel - Great room in new part across road from reception. Good aircon and quiet enough despite traffic in Jakarta always busy, even small roads
- emma (10/5): Perfect budget place in Jakarta - Perfect location, quiet rooms, kitchen and dining room to eat take out/prepare simple meals/entertainment in cafe bar ajoining hostel, friendly staff, clean, safe, communal area
- Lin (6/5): - Ok for 1-2 Nights. Not realy Citycenter, but near (30min.) to the airport.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice hostel with cafe attached. 24hr reception was very useful. Heard the location wasn’t the best but we had no issues. Would recommend
- Mei (8/5): - The place is conveniently located, front desk people are nice. The only drawback is the shower. Warm water only run 3 minutes, followed with cold water.
- Zofia (10/5): - A very nice, clean and quiet hostel with hot showers, cooking facilities, 24h reception and a great rooftop area. The hostel café is very good too, it’s possible to get breakfast all day and just down the street is an excellent warung with plenty of vegetarian options (which is rare). All in all I would wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone!
- Kariana (10/5): Awesome hostel - Amazing hostel, very spacious with many different hangout areas. Staff friendly and helpful. Room was everything that I needed, basic and small but cleverly designed so that you have space to put things, great night light too. Many thanks and I highly recommend.
- ?? (8/5): - I love the lively atmosphere and the lovely staff
- qingzhi (2/5): - it is not a good place to stay.
- qingzhi (2/5): - it is not a good hostel.nit recommend.
- Geoffrey (10/5): - Like mostly poor neighborhood.
- JEANIE (10/5): - Bagage storage IS free. Very nice sitting rooms
- Matthew (8/5): Great value for money - Great price. Room was nice considering the per night cost. It was clean and spacious. Street Food Tour was fantastic. Hostel location may not be to everyone's liking.
- Susilawati (8/5): Lokasi strategis - Lokasi dekat ke china town,kota tua,halte busway,stasiun kereta,cari makanan pun mudah,kamar lumayan luas dan bersih,AC dingin,air panas dan dingin dikamar mandi cukup kencang,hrs bawa extra sandal untuk didalam kamar,karena sepatu/sandal yg kita pakai waktu datang,tidak boleh dibawa kedalam kamar,harus disimpqn dilantai bawah.👍
- Felix Linus (10/5): - Very clean and it felt like a safe place in the busy city.
- Miriam (10/5): A truly enriching experience - Had a lovely stay in the Packer Lodge for one night in a single room - very spacious, clean and comfy. The service was great - the staff helped me book Grabs, let me keep my big bag over the day and had good tips on how to get around Jakarta. It's a great place to get to know local people and I instantly was adopted into the family, taken round the city and invited to hang out. Thanks so much for the happy atmosphere :-)
- Yassar A (10/5): - Absolutely amazing place. Very professional and helpful staff. Very quiet atmosphere. Accessible through public transportation, bus station is 2 minutes walk. A lot of eating places close by. Strongly recommend staying here.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - OK! Staf (Dina) ramah & rekan2nya Ok! Nama SAYA TIDAK USAH DITAMPILKAN!
- Thomas (10/5): Very good accommodation - Good : Very clean Staff nice and helpful Breakfast included God, there's a bodybuilding room! Bad : Nothing really interesting around.
- Verified traveler (8/5): The short answer: just stay at Packer Lodge - The Packer Lodge provides basic but clean accommodation and excellent staff at basically the lowest prices you'll find in Jakarta. I stayed in the private single room. I was able to check in at like 2 AM with no hassle. Make sure to bring 200,000 IDR in CASH for the deposit. The room was basic, but clean. AC had no trouble keeping the room cold. There was tons of storage including a lockable closet. Sink does not get hot water, and the shower has a small water heater that runs out of water very quickly. I basically had to shower at a trickle unless I wanted to go to the public bathroom intended for the people in dorms (so why did I pay extra for a private room then?!) WiFi in the property sucks. I had basically no signal in either of two rooms I stayed in while I was there. Telkomsel, the largest cell network in the country, also barely reached the rooms. You'll have to go elsewhere or to the lounge on the third floor to do anything useful on phone/computer. If you can get a cheaper booking by choosing not to get the "free breakfast' I would just save the money, even though the breakfast is cheap. Pretty meh and there are tons of warung nearby with delicious and cheap street food. Laundry service is good. About half a load for $4, with 24-hour turnaround. Very cheap for non-DIY hotel laundry. The biggest reason you should stay though is the staff. Super friendly and helpful, and speak good English. Thanks to Felice, Gab, Yani, Keisha, and Dina!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Love the hotel but hate the WIFI do something abt - I like the location easy to go anywhere. Options are many. Food around the area i did not discover much. Hotel & room facilities are very good EXCEPT wifi in the rooms & even outside in the common areas. Its almost perfect if not for the wifi which is very frustrating. I cant get signal for my roaming sim when in the room so have to depend on wifi.But it is very bad.
- TSUTOMU (10/5): - 部屋がとても清潔でぐっすり眠れました。スタッフの方も皆さん素敵な方ばかり。また泊まりに行きますね。
- Michael (10/5): The only place to stay in Jakarta - Simple amazing staff, clean, quiet, plenty of space, even the locker fits your backpack.
- Sasha (10/5): - The staff is amazing there, felt like a family!!! If I ever go again I stay there! Also really clean, have international chargers, breakfast tasty and free coffee/tea and snacks anytime! Really recommend this place, close to old town and ChinaTown Market, close to bus stations, if wanna car staff will help to order :)
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice hotel, homely, close to food and near to Chinatown shops and street markets. Clean surrounds, well swept streets.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 素晴らしい素晴らしい
- Akane (10/5): - スタッフさんがみんな明るくフレンドリーでHappyでした！ Welcomeムードもあるし、帰ってきたら声かけてくれるし 話しかけたくなる雰囲気でした！ 朝食がパン＆ライス、どちらもあったのに感動しました。 目の前の路地の雰囲気が、見た瞬間一瞬不安になる感じのところでした。 ３Fに泊まったのですが、All階段だったので大変でした。 シャワーの水圧◎。水回りも掃除されていて〇。 バス停が近いし、隣の隣ぐらいの距離に安いローカルフードやさんがあるのでフライトでくたくたになって到着してもすぐ食べものが調達できて◎！
- kondo (10/5): Good condition - 受付に日本語が出来るインドネシアの方がいらっしゃいましたので驚きました。スタッフは笑顔の対応。部屋も清潔。朝食も良かったです。 場所も便利。
- TAKAYUKI (10/5): - バックパッカーの人に連絡。 空港から行く場合、まずダムリ社のバスに乗ってください。40000ルピアです（約310円）。タクシーだと2000円〜くらいかかります。空港からダムリバスで「マンガドゥア」行きに乗ってください。そして「コタ駅」で一度止まるので降りてください。バスに乗ってからチケットを買いますが、その時に「コタ」と伝えておいてください。コタ駅に入り、そのまま通り抜けて反対側へ出ます。出たら右へ。「トランスジャヤカルタ」のバス停入り口があります、「トランスジャカルタ」バスで40000ルピアで、バスカードを買い、ブロックM方向へ行きます。1つ目で降ります。「Glodak」です。そこから歩いて5分以内に着きます。地球の歩き方などでよく地図を確認してください。 宿ですが、とても綺麗です。共有スペースは一番上で、朝食もそこです。女性が多いですので女性にはおすすめ。男性でがっつり交流したい人はコタ駅近くの「テドゥーホステル」のほうが男性多く、交流できます。
- Verified traveler (8/5): - トランスジャカルタの駅も近く、コンビニや食べ物屋も多く、両替屋も近くにあるのでとても便利です。朝食にでた焼きそばは最高でした。
- Verified traveler (10/5): 2nd time here - This is my 2nd stay at TPL. The 1st was a few years back. Obviously after a few years of wear & tear, there're bound to be some aging signs here & there. Overall the high standards was kept, the place still well maintained. They have some of the best pods in the industry, free breakfast, free towel, free drinking water. WIR? Definitely.
- Charlotte (10/5): Clean, friendly. - Staff at the hostel really tried to help. Some of them had good english. They booked our train tickets and solan me a SIM card (burnt they did charge me like 6 time the price).
- Jonathan (8/5): Great staff - As clean as expected for the price. The staff were very friendly and more than happy to help with anything and everything. They k we the local area well and helped me to plan and arrange my stay.
- Wahyono (10/5): Nice place and very recommended. - Everything was perfect. Free coffee and tea. The cheapest private single room in Jakarta. You can store the baggage after check-out. Transportation is accessable from the location. The only problem is the phone signal is very weak in the private room of ground floor.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great staff ! Will come again when my Indomie finishes :') !
- Aslom (10/5): A decent place - I enjoyed my stay, however I would have appreciated the bin in the bathroom being emptied on a daily basis as the toilet is not able to flush toilet paper therefore it's rather unhygienic.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Wonderful hostel - It was an amazing little hostel. Super cheap but comfy, the single room I got was wonderful, I had everything's I need for the stay. Staff really nice and location wasn't easy to find.
- Rosalind (8/5): Budget and cosy hostel. - Knowledgeable staff who spoke good English esp the guy who was manning the night duty on Friday night. He was able to communicate clearly about transport queries. Weak Internet connection which broke down on most part of the day. Connection did not resume until later in the day.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Simply grand! - Cannot believe how amazing this little hostel is!! Got a single room on upper floor and it has all that I ever needed. It's small but cleverly designed. Nice hot shower, air con, amazing staff, good common area where u meet interesting ppl. Will def come back!!
- Leslie (8/5): Affordable place to stay near Old Town Batavia - Pros: friendly & helpful staff, affordable single room price, very clean, free breakfast, comfortable bed, free strong wifi signal throughout the hostel, lots of storage space inside the room, hot water in shower, free to watch dvd movies, free filtered water, has microwave and fridge, free bags storage. Cons: lumpy pillow, can be noisy in the hallway, no elevator, limited hot water capacity in shower, no English channels on cable, AC kept turning on and off, heavy traffic outside on the main road, too many one way streets which requires a detour just to get to the hostel, no good food/restaurants nearby
- Prasan (10/5): Th Best So Far! - Love everything about it. Would be better if they have more variety of breakfast.
- Rob (10/5): 4 night stay - I stayed in a single private room on the ground floor earlier this month for 4 nights. I would highly recommend this place. The room was excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful. I particularly appreciated the strong wi fi and drinking water on the top floor.
- Chon Nam (6/5): Second time around - Second time staying at the Packer Lodge. Not much has changed except the breakfast. No more cereals were included, just bread & spreads. Room is okay, small but comfortable. Easy 10-15 min walk to Kota area & cheap eats all located nearby
- Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent - Great stuff, every thing is great coming back soon for sure
- Verified traveler (10/5): Exceptional hostel, very clean and modern - Best hostel ever. Fast internet with multiple wifi routers on every floor. Free coffee and filtered water all day. The staff all spoke excellent English and were really friendly. They're also very close to the airport, but still in the city, with lots of cheap food options within walking distance. I'll be back next time I'm in Jakarta.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Quiet and Clean, Close to the Airport and Kota Tua - Excellent hostel! I've stayed in dozens, and this is one of the cleanest, quietest, and most aesthetically charming i've ever seen. The neighborhood is primarily residential, adjacent to Chiantown, and close to a main road that has buses from Kota Tua (the old square) to the center of town. Free wi-fi is fast and reliable -- each floor has its own router. The top floor has a smoking area / garden and a kitchen with coffee and tea 24 hrs a day and free filtered drinking water. Taxi drivers sometimes have trouble finding the place, as it's fairly new, but Uber drivers can easily find you on the map. If you're looking to be in the center of the nightlife and shopping, look further south, but if you want a quiet and comfy place to stay while exploring the city, this is your spot.
- marco (10/5): a business with purpose and passion for quality - I was amazed at the quality these guys were able to deliver on such a low budget. The cubicle in which I was sleeping in the shared dorm was the best value-for-money experience I had in a hostel, as it had a private locker inside its area, which makes your stay safe and incredibly comfortable. I paid a very cheap price compared to the level of comfort I enjoyed. Staff were friendly and really helpful. The hostel manager is a smart entrepreneur with a focus on high-quality and strives to make his business environmentally responsible, e.g. encouraging to use water wisely. I believe he has a genuine passion for conducting business with ethics, which is a huge plus and I wish him, the staff and the whole hostel to thrive! A must-experience for hostel lovers.
