"Aryaduta is a classic hotel (formerly Hyattt) in central Jakarta in Menteng neighbourhood extremely central next to MONAS Monument, Cikini, Gambir station, Pasar Senen, etc... The hotel is overall well maintained, a bit old around the edges but that is balanced by the excellent service staff, the incredible breakfast buffet (so many options!!), the lounge, restaurants, outdoor pool, gym, hot tub and customer services. I really enjoyed the food, lounge, pool and gym each day; the bed is very comfortable and quiet. Wifi is almost always very strong and consistent (for Jakarta hehe :)) The staff are very kind and go the extra mile to ensure your comfort. Special thanks to Lestari at the front desk for her excellent service. Looking forward to next visit to Hotel Aryaduta Jakarta."

"I was happy with my choice as I'd heard about its famous dim sum for a long while.The hotel is not so old but already seems rather dark and old-fashioned compared to the newer hotels going up in Jakarta. So it seems to be competing with discount offers. I found it a good and convenient location, and value for money, but it doesn't have much that is special. It's fine for what it is, but I'm surprised it is holding onto all it stars. If you want a good reliable hotel in that part of Jakarta, go for it. Suits business travelers I think."

"I spent 6 days 5 nights here in Ibis Menteng. The location is very good. A lot of street food every night and restaurants nearby. There are also 2 cafes located on the groundfloor of the building. Starbucks and Liberica. They provide water bottles everyday and you can also refill it from the water dispenser along the corridors. The only downside is you have to buy the slippers and toothpatse and toothbrush as these were not provided. There is also a money changer on the building. There is also a nearby souvenir shop just walking distance from the hotel. The breakfast is indonesian so expect it will be rice and bread and meat or veggies. Wifi is also provided and very useful when booking for grab. TV has english channels . The room has enough space for your luggages and things. The only problem is sometimes you can hear the noise from outside the room. Overall I had a great stay in this hotel and will surely choose this again. "
