An Oasis amidst Jakarta's craziness”

Given the frenetic rhythm of Jakarta, I felt completely comfortable and removed from the city's chaos when I stayed at the Manhattan Hotel for the last couple of nights of my two-month stint in Malang, East Java. The value for the money is exceptional; breakfast buffet is delightful, multi-country, and abundant, and the rooms are very-well appointed with a luxurious, executive feel. Comfortable beds, high ceilings, quiet air conditioning, and gigantic, marble bathrooms. I stayed with my friend Eddie, and he loved how relaxed he felt at Manhattan - just what we both needed. Wi-fi and LAN internet connections are available at a cost in-room (my only gripe), but free wi-fi is available on the lobby and mezzanine levels of the hotel. The infinity pool offers a nice view of the city (considering that Jakarta isn't the prettiest of cities...), and the fitness space is gigantic. All staff are exceptionally helpful. Taxis are the only way to get around due to the highway construction outside of the hotel (no noise), but at USD 2-4 per ride within the city, it's totally doable for poor grad students like me. Mall Ambassador is a harrowing 1/2 km walk away from the hotel, and all the fantastic restaurants, clubs, and high-end hotels of Mega Kuningan 1 km away on the other side of the highway. Kuningan City is the newest and brightest mall next door with a huge Lottemart in the basement - everything you could possibly need. Don't question it - just stay here!

Best Hotel around Kuningan, Jakarta”

Pros Manhattan hotel is at very strategic location around Kuningan, Jakarta. You can get to hotel within 90 minutes from Soekarno Hatta Airport during peak hours. The hotel is only 3 minutes walking to Kuningan City Mall or Ambassador Mall. There are many restaurants there. I stayed in suite room for 3 nights. The room is clean, good view from the room, good air conditioning. Best part of the hotel is when breakfast time. The menu is complete from Indian cuisine to Javanese cuisine. If you are a smoker, you can eat outdoor. Unfortunately I didn't have time to try the pool in 8th floor. All staff is very helpful.

comfy accomodation”

manhattan hotel is a cozzy place to stay for bussiness traveller because of their strategic location in kuningan casablanca street.its really easy to reach the shopping centre and also the bussiness building to do meeting with clients. and also the comfy environtment inside the hotel makes me feels like home. and i love the india food restaurant and the lounge. i definately will stay here again when i comeback to jakarta.

“Good location, Awful service””

I always visiting Indonesia on business trip and I stayed at Manhattan Hotel, Jakarta only. The location is in at Kuningan city. The front desk staff is helpful and fast responded. Within 15mins I obtained my room key.The hotel has her own security system to restricted access outsider to enter hotel floors besides the common areas like lobby, restaurants and gym etc. Anyway, internet is chargeable and speeds is not fast. Internet is costly as well. I like the hotel breakfast the food is excellent.

Lovely hotel exceed expectation”

My first time to Jakarta for business trip. I chose Manhattan hotel based on good review ranking at Agoda website. Due to late check in, my initial booked Executive room of king size bed is fully occupied, i was ended up given a king size bed plus single bed Triple Room, which is a bigger room. This is a bonus for me. I purposely chose high floor at 27th floor. View from my room to city is good. I like to breakfast very much, many choices and food is tasty with mixture o local and international cuisine. i will definitely stay in this hotel again for my next trip.

affordable price for value minus traffic”

pros: Manhattan suite was really a deal, great view, room size is superb, view is so great as if those lights r sparkling diamond and golden teardrop, LOVE the whirlpool jacuzzi and amenities inside, two sinks r good deal for couple. Foods r soooo delicious, we love the indian foods there, butter chicken taste so perfect and breakfast is as good as my previous dinner i ordered to room. Staffs r so compromise, got a little bit prob since i reserved n called them for non-smoking room but i get smoking one when i come but they can switch room for me, thanks for the help. Elevator is freaking fast. Location is superb, u can reach Kuningan City and Ambassador Mall on foot. Great deal for Airport transfer on usd 25 considering it was a heavy load of vehicles so usd 25 totally a saving, but hoping next time its possible for free LOL, just saying. Cons: Network connection both LAN and wifi r being charged and traffic jam in front of hotel due to flyover construction. My hubby and I would love to come back soon for sure :)

Amazing hotel with excellent service”

The room I stayed in was the Manhattan suite which Agoda had excellent prices for! The Room: Was amazing! Very large bed, desk, flat screen TV, international plug adaptor, internet access, jacuzzi, provided toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, body wash, towels, comb, toothbrush and toothpaste, shower cap, shaving kit, sewing kit. Has a standing shower which had lovely hot water and pressured water. There were 2 sinks, and a small kitchenette with microwave, kettle, tea, coffee. There is a safe for your belongings, and ironing board but no iron (you can request one). 2 bottles of water are complimentary each day. Not sure if the room gets hoovered but sheets and towels and bins are changed. The internet access was 100,000 rupiah for 24 hours in your room or you can use it for free on the 3rd floor or lobby. There is a business centre with photocopier, scanner, internet, they are all very helpful. They have currency exchange there but a shop in the mall gave me a better rate from USD to rupiah. The room service food is reasonably priced and the restaurant has excellent veggie choice! I used the spa which I do recommend, had a hot stone massage which was amazing! The mall is literally 5 mins away and has a food court and is useful to buy souveneirs. You can haggle there too! The traffic is horrible there, they are building a toll road and curently have a one way system which is incredibly annoying and adds at least half an hour onto your trip! The views from my room were amazing and I would definitely recommend this room if you just pay the little extra. I have no hesitation in recommending this room and if I come back to Jakarta I will be staying here!!

I enjoyed my stay”

I stayed at the Manhattan Hotel for 4 nights during my recent business trip to Jakarta. The location of the hotel is great - close to shopping and restaurants. The rooms are big enough for me. However, the décor and facilities are a bit dated and tired. Does need some remodelling. The breakfast is OK but needs more varieties - eating the same food for 4 days in a row can be tiring. Otherwise, I found the hotel returns good value for the price I paid. Will stay there again.

Modern hotel with good service”

i have stayed at manhattan hotel twice and both times the experience was phenomenal. the service i had from the hotel staff was outstanding. my air conditioner in the room was leaking in the middle of the night. i called the duty manager and he immediately dispatched a maintenance man who worked on it for 30 minutes, siphoning the water logged containers which was about 7 buckets in volume. he then tightened and taped whatever was necessary and called in the housekeeping to clean the area. within 1 hour, the air conditioner was fixed and the waste baskets replaced and the floor mopped. another outstanding mention is the concierge and front door staff. they were so courteous in taking our shopping bags and bringing up to the room when we came back from shopping. that is outstanding service i have not seen in any other hotel i have been in many parts of the world. our room was clean, large, fantastic bath tub. we were very comfortable staying there and buffet breakfast was accommodating. location of the hotel is very close to many shopping malls and is strategically located to festival mall. if you plan to go to bandung, there is a shuttle an hourly shuttle service provided by citi trans as festival shopping mall which is about 3km away from the hotel.

Excellent hotel with great service”

Booked this hotel as a change from the 'norm' and wasnt disappointed. Normally stayed at Sahid Jaya as it was cheaper than other 4/5 star hotels but progressively becoming less suitable. Manhattan hotel is a modern hotel in a convenient location for those wanting to access Kuningan area. Good price, restaurant was pretty good.

Clean and modern”

Havent stayed here for a while, opting for a more convenient Aston Kuningan. However, last trip Aston was fully booked so went back to Manhattan for first time in a year or so. It reminded me how great this hotel is for the money, and if traffic in Jakarta wasnt so bad i would probably opt for this one. Breakfast pretty good also.

good hotel”

I feel comfortable in manhattan hotel, the service is good and feels like home to me. i like venus type room, and their view to the city, i can view many highrise building in jakarta. this hotel is suitable for bussiness choice, because this location is in heart of Jakarta City. if you want to go shopping you just walk around five minutes to go to Mall Ambassador or ITC Kuningan. i really like this hotel...

Location sure is great, but there are other positives too.”

Well, walk to Kuningan City and Ambassador, short ride to Kokas, and basically everywhere in central Jakarta. The drawback? Traffic in front of the hotel is severe every weekdays. The breakfast is ok, the dim sum buffet (you get a special price voucher for that) is very limited in choices. Elevator is fast, but the card reader (we have to swipe to press our floor button) sometimes acted up. Pool offers a nice view, but since there are high rises everywhere, it's constantly windy and chilly. The room itself is very spacious and clean, and you are most likely to have a nice view.

Lovely hotel”

Stayed at the Manhattan because it's in the Kuningan area. It's a lovely hotel, but the the roadworks and constructions in the area make it difficult to get in and out. No noise in the rooms though. It has big modern rooms, nice bathrooms and heaps of facilities. Even used the gym which has a decent amount of equipment. A let down is the fact that the nearest shop/restaurant of any kind is a good 10 minute walk away. If you get hungry at the hotel and don't want to spend 30 minutes in a Jakarta taxi to find something to eat, you are limited to the hotel options. The room service portions were too small and expensive. Breakfast buffet is fantastic

Nice place to stay”

My first time staying at Manhattan Hotel and I was very satisfied with everything in it. Location is not too far from city centre, the hotel is very modern, clean & tidy. The room is spacious & has very nice bathroom. Lot of menu for the breakfast & the foods are incredible. I would love to come back stay in Manhattan for my next visit to jakarta.

Good experience”

I stay several times already in Manhattan Hotel. I love the brakfast, also good location just beside Kuningan City Mall and Ambasador mall. I will stay in Manhattan again for my next trip to Jakarta

Decent hotel; good value for money”

Location: Good, if you have business in the Kuningan area. Hotel is next door to Kuningan City Mall, a new shopping mall. Road outside (Jalan Casablanca) is often jammed, but then again, so are all the other roads in Jakarta. Rooms: Nothing memorable but comfortable and clean. Bathrooms are dark and gloomy. No separate shower stall, just a bathtub with a rather inadequate shower head. Wi-fi: Free in-room wi-fi, but sometimes quite slow. Price: Very good compared to comparable hotels in Jakarta. Clientele: It appears most guests are Indonesians and other Asian travelers, so the hotel is geared mainly to Eastern tastes. Some of the food on offer at the breakfast buffet may seem odd to Western travelers. Some front desk staff appeared to have limited English skills.

great new hotel”

this is a new hotel and so, i thought it is definitely worth a try. It certainly never let me down. I took the manhattan suite and the very big bathroom is what i like the most. jacuzzi is nice. there is also a reclinable arm chair that put me to sleep easily. I will only wake up when disturbed by a phonecall and shift my tired body to the comfortable king sized bed. the full length ceiling glass windows let me have a clear view of Jakarta nice scenery. the morning breakfast is great with international dishes. Although traffic during the day is bad, the comfort is still much worth it after a hard day's work.

Great hotel with lovely city view”

This lovely hotel is located in the center of Jakarta. Unfortunately, this hotel can’t be seen easily because of small logo. It’s a new hotel so you can expect this hotel to be very current, modern and luxurious. Our large Manhattan suite was located on the 29th floor with great view which is benefitted by the floor to ceiling windows, kitchenette and Jacuzzi. The service was very good. Overall our stay was enjoyable and pleasant. Will definitely stay there again.

Decent hotel with nice location ”

Manhattan hotel is decent for the amount you are paying. There are many hotels who have charged more and experience in terms of cleanliness, service is not comparable. Strategically located next to shopping malls, business district of Kuningan.
