Wonderful experience”

I rarely give out a 5-point rating but ARTOTEL Thamrin Jakarta is well-deserving of it. The staff are impeccable. Carrying a smile and a greet at every turn. The rooms are beautiful, hip and Instagram-ready. Hanging out at RoCA bar-resto is a treat especially the "BEERGASM" or bottomless Bintang for about IDR 150,000 which is worth it. The ambiance is lovely. Snack on the Truffle Fries! Buffet breakfast was pretty good, but ARTOTEL is so central you can walk to Sarinah Building nearby for KFC or McDonalds. ARTOTEL is a fresh escape from the busy and overwhelming streets of Jakarta. It has the opposite feel of a boring business hotel. In a wonderful central location, it was fun to stay here and I look forward to coming back again. Shout-out to all their staff (really, everyone we encountered during our 18-21 April 2014 stay were awesome). Especially to Adie/Aydie the handsome receptionist who helped us contact the airline call centre when our flight was cancelled.

Fantastic”

I've stayed twice at Atotel. When I was looking for hotels I came across this hotel, hmm.. Interesting concept. I booked & I have not regretted choosing Artotel. When I entered Artotel I was like WOW! The smell was so fresh & nice. I luv the deco. I myself luv arts. I think it's really great they came up with this getting few artist to paint in the rooms..thruout the hotel. I was telling myself I wished Malaysia had something like this. The food.. I had breakfast & it wasn't that great. I think they need to improve. I ordered the room service chicken wings...that was nice. There are times I'm sure some guest who are so tired would like to stay in their room, order room service, relax... Laundry..I snd my white blouse & few others for a wash.. My white blouse came back in light baby blue color & it wasn't iron properly & same as the rest too... I told d staff about it & they apologise.. Most hotels I've stayed when I ask for iron they give me the usual normal iron but at Artotel it's steam iron. I prefer steam iron as it's easier for me. At Artotel they think of everything they could to make it easier for their guest. In Indonesia their plug is different than Malaysia or in England so they made sure they had that install so the guest don't really need to buy an adapter. You can't expect everything to be perfect at all the hotels, even at a 5 or 6 star hotels you get some faulty too. Sometime things do happen. Besides that I really do like Artotel. It's one of my favourite hotel in Jakarta. I would definitely stay at Artotel again & I highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

Satisfied!”

I was very satisfied with my stay at Artotel. However certain points that can be improved and it will be better to provide face towel as Jakarta is very dusty. And if they could have provide Airport Transfer as even with the street name and hotel name given to th taxi driver, it was quite a hassle for him to find the location of the hotel. However to take note that the landmark would be Sarinah Mall as it's right infront if it. Overall was satisfying stay at Artotel Thamrin. Thank you!

My personal fav hotel in Thamrin”

If you are staying in Thamrin Jakarta, this is the hotel to stay. Their services are top notch. During my stay, I was having some issues with my mobile phone internet connection. I asked the receptionist for help. They help me to call the telco company but still unable to fix the issue. Knowing my limited local language, the manager got one of the staff to accompany me to the nearest mobile phone shop to get a new SIM card. So grateful to the staff at Artotel Thamrin!

A hip & clean hotel at a convenient location.”

It was a comfortable stay for my husband, 1 year old baby & myself. The staff were very helpful & friendly. Food was delicious. Its location is conveniently situated, right opposite Sarinah mall, surrounded with plenty of eating places. My family of 3 walked to Plaza Indonesia and Grand Indonesia, and back to the hotel again on 2 separate days--we enjoyed strolling back to our hotel at night. ☺ I would highly recommend Artotel Jakarta-Thamrin to my family and friends who travel solo or in small groups. And my family would most likely return here if we were to travel to Jakarta again.

Strategic Location & Full of Art”

This is the second time I Stayed at Artotel Sanur, this hotel is in a very startegic location, in the centre of Jakarta, easy to go anywhere, close to Plaza Indonesia & Grand Indonesia, also participate at Car Free Day (U can freely jogging and running). Breakfast was so fabs, staff also so friendly. Definitely will stay again in Artotel Thamrin Jakarta.

nice stay, breakfast could be better”

It was pleasant to stay at Artotel Thamrin. Things were up to my standards and especially the hotel located in Central Jakarta. One thing I want to suggest is the breakfast food. I dont mind with the selection of food but I dont like the taste. It were plain but one thing i can appreciate about breakfast was the Jamu (Indonesia's herb drinks). Overall, my experience about the hotel is 9/10 :)

One of the best”

Artotel has always been my preferred place to stay whenever I want a fuss free hotel to stay and get away...It might not have all the frills and fluffs of bigger hotels but it sure makes it up with the super friendly and helpful staffs,the service and the cleanliness,and of cos the location. And a big thank you to the very kind Miss Oktariani who upgraded me to a bigger room and made me feel at home in Artotel during my stay. It's always pleasing to look at beautiful art pieces after a hectic day of working in the urban jungle of Jakarta and Artotel always has interesting arts for pleasing the eyes. The atmosphere of Artotel is always relaxing and artistic, and I love this place for that. A big thank you to the service staffs and please keep up the good work...thinking of my next visit and I hope it's soon;)

fantastic, didnt want to leave”

Artotel – Jakarta – A fantastic hotel! It is modern and funky, clean and comfortable. The room is a bit small but fine, the bed is comfortable and clean, huge flat screen tv with lots of channels in English, air con silent and efficient. The room is decorated well, the hotel has original art on the walls. The shower is modern, clean and powerful, plenty of hot water. Great toiletries, kettle with tea/coffee, complimentary water, Wifi is fast and efficient and works in the rooms. Breakfast is wonderful, a huge buffet to choose from, Friendly English speaking helpful staff. The restaurant is next to reception, it is a great experience, the art on the walls is modern and fun. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough, we loved it. The location is excellent, close to the train station (20 mins walk or 5 mins tuktuk) – great shopping malls opposite, we only booked two nights (one full day) here and as we spent two hours queuing to book a train it was not enough – there seems to be lots to see and do. We will be sorry to leave the Artotel.

Such a nice hotel in Jakarta”

Artotel is a nice hotel in Jakarta, Located at Thamrin, Center of Jakarta. Near to Grand Indonesia, Plaza Indonesia, Sarinah, MRT Station, i highly recommended this place for Business trip, or just have a staycation with your family. The service is really nice, clean room, and they have a dolce gusto coffee machine in the room.

Pleasant stay”

Stayed at Artotel for 1 night (saturday to sunday) with my 4 yo daughter. - the location was great. Just across Sarinah. Easy access to shopping center, supermarket, ATM, Starbucks, McDonalds, restaurants/food stalls, Sabang streets, Bunderan HI, Tanah Abang, Monas, Transjakarta shelter, etc. - The room was spacious, not too small. The bathroom was clean. - Breakfast was great. You can enjoy coffee by Filosofi Kopi at breakfast for free. - The staff was friendly& helpful. I really enjoy staying at Artotel Thamrin.

Quirky Hotel & Great Stay”

My husband & I went on a short trip to Jakarta over the weekend and we had a great stay at Artotel. Checking in was super easy, the staffs are always so helpful and they even gave us complimentary breakfast during our stay which was a really nice gesture.We stayed in the studio room, just enough for us as mostly we were out & about exploring. The bed is comfy, with enough pillows and the room was really clean. Our room was located on the 5th floor, although just 2 floors down from the Rooftop Bar, it was relatively quiet and we had no sound issues or anything that bothered us. Although, the only thing that I had requested for was a hairdryer and the time we stayed was relatively a peak one - they did not have enough hairdryers and we had to be on waiting list. So I suggest to anyone who takes hairdryers seriously, just bring your own to spare any disappointment. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and have no complaints! Thanks Artotel :)

Easily Recognisable and Accessible Small Hotel ”

We chose Artotel based on good reviews. To add to the earlier good reviews, the taxi driver from the airport did not know Artotel but knew Sarinah Shopping Mall. Once we were within the vicinity, Artotel stood out with its unique facade. The hotel's security front liners were there to welcome us and reminded to check in case we left any items in the taxi. For next four days, the few security personnel went the extra mile to assist each time we used taxi service - even to the extent of getting an airport taxi when it was time to leave the hotel. We picked a small room on the fifth floor and it was good enough as we were light travelers. The only drawback was the coffee dispenser for breakfast. Good idea but most guests were not familiar with it. Will definitely consider returning to this hotel.

It was all good but.....”

So, I didn’t expect much from this hotel, since the price was quite affordable and the location is perfect. In the middle of Jakarta and surrounded by great street food and supermarkets. The breakfast was also good enough with plenty of choices. So now let’s talk about the downside of this hotel. Not enough parking space, they do provide valet but it took them 15-20 min to get my car out when I checked out.l because the parking space is small. Another down side is that I can hear music from the bar on top floor, and last I think ARTOTEL should clean or service their AC. It’s was chill but not enough . Besides those 3 things the rest is beyond my expectation. I love the design so much, the mural is awesome, the pillow was good. And great hospitality from the staff. I came with 2 of my kids and they spontaneously gave a toy to them. Nothing valuable about the toy, but I love the initiative. Great job! Looking forward to stay at ARTOTEL highs. I heard it has a fun concept.

Sweetheart hotel of Jakarta”

I had been in ARTOTEL in Surabaya before, and this ARTOTEL in Thamrin Jakarta is offering much better location, service and everything. It is rather a budget hotel, but still sophisticated to the core, trust me! I love their breakfast and fresh idea about design hotel. At the end, this hotel is not expensive ones but it is not cheapass hotel like the other budget hotel.

Pleasant stay in Jakarta's city centre”

With its strategic location, comfortable bed, lovely interior design, and affordable rate, I could say that it was a pleasant stay at ARTOTEL Thamrin. There are a lot of dining places, supermarket, and shopping malls nearby within walking distance. Additionally, there was a plenty choices on breakfast menus and staffs were really helpful. The major downsides of this property are lack of parking area, and noisy rooftop bar on 7th floor since I was staying at 6th floor. Overall, I would recommend this property to other travellers.

Be aware of the rooftop bar!!”

I have previously stayed at Artotel Surabaya, which was absolutely wonderful. So decided to book Artotel on my visit to Jakarta. In both Surabaya and Jakarta the staff are very, very friendly and helpful. But for me the purpose of a hotel is a place to rest! And there is the problem with the Artotel Jakarta: This is a 7 story building with a ROOFTOP BAR. The Guest rooms are floors on 3 to 6. I could hear the music while situated on third floor... Throughout the week music would turn off at 10pm. But on saturday evening it continued.. Went up at 00:30 and then they turned it down. Good: - Staff is very very friendly!! They greet you with a smile and are very attentive! - Hotel is new, clean - Good bed, good coffeemaker in room - Room small but adequate if you don’t spend much time in the room. Bad: - Rooftop bar. I still don’t understand why they turn the music so loud, given the building’s design. - Building feels a bit “cramped”. It is surrounded by other buildings within few meter distance so no outside terrace or good view. - Good location if you prefer shopping (malls). For business: busy traffic during rush hour - On ground floor there seems to be a restaurant/café but not really sure? I think due to its design / cramped ambiance not many people use it (while in Surabaya a lot of people sit and eat in their restaurant/café) - Elevator is of good make (KONE). But you need to swipe keycard to activate. If multiple people enter elevator that system doesn’t work properly and and often does not go to required floor. Even the staff had difficulty with this system. - Most art is hidden on the second / M floor. In Artotel Surabaya the lobby is the art gallery so when you enter there you feel very nice! In Jakarta it looks more like a standard hotel lobby.

2nd time at Artotel but not the last”

2nd time staying at the Artotel. It's in a fantastic spot in Thamrin whereby you can walk to Plaza Indonesia shopping centre, as well as cool nightclubs like Cloud Lounge and Skye Bar. The quality of the hotel is really good for the price you pay - clean, funky boutique decor and free wifi. Didn't take bed and breakfast option so couldn't comment on the food but would recommend, especially for a weekend break where you don't need a top high end place if you're partying the whole time.

Great hotel for the price.”

It was my first visit to Jakarta and we decided to stay at Artotel Thamrin. As art lovers ourselves, we were very impressed by the sculptures, artworks and prints that adorned the lobby and our rooms. The hotel's interior design is contemporary and provide guests with a warm happy feeling. The room that we stayed in was pretty small but sufficient for our stay. We were out most of the time and only came back to shower and sleep. For those who are looking to get the most out of your hotel room, look somewhere else. The furniture in the room has signs of wear, and cleanliness can be improved. The coffee machine is a welcomed bonus to the rooms, but maintenance can be done to them. The TV works great and has many high definition channels. Staff in the hotel are pleasantly warm and helpful. The hotel is also situated near the CBD area. But don't expect to walk to the malls, everywhere in Jakarta is best explored by bike or car. Overall good experience at the hotel for the price.

Nice boutique hotel with excellent location”

This is a small, new and very modern boutique hotel right in the middle of Jakarta. This hotel is in the Thamrin area, right in the heart of the commercial district, and is the only small and very affordable hotel that I know in this area. That makes it excellent for business travellers looking for a good deal. The rooms are small and very comfortable with modern fittings and a shower, but no bath. Free Internet in the rooms with good connectivity. Breakfast was included in my rate and there was a good choice of Western and Indonesian food. Walking distance to small shopping malls with Starbucks etc and a short taxi ride to a very large shopping mall (cannot remember the name).
