Modern hotel with good service”

We only spent one night in Mercure Jakarta Kota Hotel but we were very satisfied with our short stay. The room we had was spacious and very clean. The beds, pillows and linens were comfortable. The amenities were complete. The hotel staff were courteous and accommodating. The hotel is near restaurants and malls and a taxi is never hard to find (some are stationed just outside the hotel lobby). Overall this hotel is highly recommended.

Great value”

I visited Jakarta and stared in Kota area many times but, it was my first stay at Mercure Kota. I used to think that the hotel is a bit expensive compared to the hotels nearby. But actually the hotel was very nice. The room was large enough and there were the good amenities. All staff members helped me stay comfortably. I shall return to the hotel again soon.

Nice centrally located”

The Mercure Jakarta Kota located in the central china town, near to the shopping area and so so rounding with many good restaurant and entertainment place. Traditional breakfast wast a brilliant idea and taste very good. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel is quite old but very well maintain and we are very comfortable staying in the hotel. This is the third time I stay in this hotel. Every time the staff are friendly and helpful with good fast response and service. The location is nice for getting around and traveling to the night activities and shopping centers. The hotel is well equipped and the wifi is reasonable well offered.

It was good enough to extend our stay and go back ”

his hotel is not without its problems, but it was good enough to extend our stay and go back again. The room is spacious, with a big window, but it has only one chair. The electronic safe in the room is useful. The aircon is adequate. The TV is a bit small by today's standards, but works alright, and has about 60 channels. The carpets and furniture has stains but otherwise both the room and bathroom are clean, although the taps are a bit dicey. The internet connection is adequate to check emails, and do bookings, not fast enough for Skype. The connection is automatic via Ethernet, no password is required. The service is excellent. For example at first I had some problem connecting to the internet, I called the front desk and and they sent someone up within a minute who knew what he was doing and fixed it in a second even though the problem was with my laptop and not with the Hotel's system. On an other occasion the toilette was blocked, again they sent someone immediately. The person could not fix the problem and I was given another room without delay. The front desk staff speak adequate English to be helpful. The hotel has a swimming pool, which is clean and hardly anyone uses it. It its quite pleasant place to relax. On our last day we were allowed to use the swimming pool after we have checked out, until we were ready to go to the airport at about 5 pm. There was no breakfast included in the room price. The location is hard to comment on, it depends on where do you want to be. It is walking distance to Kota (although one does not want to walk anyway) and about IDR25000 (by taxi) from the big shopping complexes such as Grand Indonesia. Taxi to/from airport is minimum 30-40 minutes if there is no traffic jam, costs about IDR80,000-90,000 plus IDR11500 toll and IDR10000 if you are coming from the airport. (at 2010 prices). It is on a main road, taxis are readily available, and it is well known by taxi drivers. (Be aware that there is another Mercure hot

Very nice hotel in a very convenient location.”

Centrally located near major nightlife clubs & spas, shopping malls in Kota Jakarta. The room is very nice, and the king size bed was so comfortable. Just beware of the traffic in Jakarta, very congested; average time to transit around here is 45 min to an hour during rush hours. If possible try to avoid rush hours and weekends or walk if you can. Only use Blue Bird taxi or taxi with meters.Check out Sun city Hotel&Spa and the Stadium Club(walking distance. Have fun in Jakarta.

Good value. ”

This is first time I stay here. The room is a bit old but functional. The breakfast serve quite a variety of local cuisine but the seating space is small. I like the fresh watermelon juice. Offering 5 pcs laundry cleaning at 100k rupiah. Very good value. ITC Godok is nearby and good for electronic staff. The stay is average. If you are looking for low cost travel, Mercure Jakarta Kota is a good choice.

Great Location but the room need to refurbish ”

stayed at Mercure, Jakarta Kota with a group of friends. The hotel is strategically located in the heart of Jakarta Utara area. Overall I was very happy with the hotel. Some of the furniture was in need of refurnishing, but overall very good value for money. I especially liked the hotel lobby, many bits of Indonesian culture and an amazing domed roof. However during my stay there is a smell like smoking room or wet towel somewhere around the lobby area as explained by the staff they are having problems with the Air Con. The Business Center staff, Miss Widia is also very kind and helpful. Keep up the good work and always looking to improve.

My favorite hotel in Jakarta”

The pool and gym are a bit small, but functional. The internet is as reliable and fast as one can find in Jakarta. The rooms are spacious and quiet, and the hotel is near shopping and restaurants. Trustworthy cabs are waiting in front of the door 24/7. This is the best hotel I've found at this price in three years of travel to Jakarta.

Lovely hotel and courtesy service”

Valued to stay for family with younger children. Big room, clean and great service from front counter till room service. Buffet is excellent to enjoy variety indonesian food. It just a minute walk to have few chinese restaurant and jakarta old chinese community shpping mall. The hotel is very closed to Mangga Dua Mall & ICT Mall as well as the Anchol Theme Park where is must for those visit Jakarta with the younger children. Beside, it take less than 10 minutes drive to luxury Indonesia Plaza if you are lucky to the a cab straight head to the mall without any traffic jam.

Decent business-hotel with free internet”

already my third stay within 12 months here, so u can assume that it is not a bad place. the hotel offers a solid 4-star-standard. the rooms are relatively old but well-maintained and of good size. free wired internet (which I prefer much more than WiFi). basically, the free internet was the big selling point to me, as I HATE to pay extra for suich thing in the year of 2011. location strategic to the airport. to downtown / the CBD the traffic can be quite heavy, so it may even be a good idea to use the Transjakarta-Express-Bus Service. there is s top right in front of the hotel (Taxis, while cheap, may take much longer to go to downtown). BF was okay for a Mercure, though disappointingly there was no sliced cheese, which is actually standard for all Accor-Hotels in Indonesia, even the IBIS has that. but if I can get a good Promo-Rate again, I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. you can not make a mistake to stay here

Great place to stay”

Overall, I highly recommend the place. The hotel is like an oasis in a very busy and crazy city. The rooms are at the same level of what we expect from a Western hotel, and it was good a good experience. There are several great things to mention: 1. The room is great. 2. The hotel staff is great. 3. Close to the tourist area. In the other hand, there is an opportunity to improve the tour programs. Maybe Jakarta doesn't get much tourists, but the hotel should take advantage of this and offer interesting day tours. Specially because they are so close to the major atractions.

Bright and light stay”

When I booked the room at Mercure over the net, i was wary about the actual conditions of the hotel and rooms because of the special rate offered. When we arrived, the main lobby was slightly dim and dark perhaps due to the black tiles on the floor. But the moment we turn into the inner lobby, we could feel the bright and airy atmosphere there. The same feeling continued when we checked into the room. The front desk staff was friendly and warm. The room and bathrooom were clean & bright and had almost brand new toilet fittings. The bed was comfortable with fresh sheets.There are several English channels to watch.It was value for money, located along Jl Hayam Waruk which is a 3-in-1 road so there is hardly traffic congestion unlike the other main roads.The bell boy was prompt to call for blue bird taxis for us.

Very good”

we spent some days in hotel jajakarta and after we moved there. both hotel is 4 star and same price but the mercure was better! the room was more cleaned the view most better only the staff in the bar was a little bit rude but in the reception was everybody helpful. i was only one problem. the staff can't understand that i would like two separated duvet to the bed. it caused some problems...

Shopping at Mercure”

Overall, I was happy with my stay at Mercure. Though there was no complimentary breakfast, the Mercure Jakarta is close to shopping malls with lots of eateries. The staff are friendly. The food is also good should you choose to eat in hotel.

Great stay in north Jakarta”

Compared to many other locations, Mercure Jakarta Kota offers affordable luxury in a location where all amenities are easily obtained. The Jakarta traffic is bad, but not as bad as other areas, especially to get to the airport. The staff were helpful and friendly, and it was great value for me.

Great hotel”

It is great to stay in this hotel because of its location and its style, and its close from many interesting places in jakarta Kota

Convenient Location”

The Mercure Rekso Hayam Wuruk was centrally located in the old "Chinatown", entertainment and business center. Foreigners who seldom set foot in Asian country may find the ambiam street not desire as it is dirty, choatic traffic, constant hassling by passer-by, personal safety concerns. However, for those who get used to the street smart scene, you would find the location of the hotel idea in the mid price range hotel. In front of the hotel is the bus stop for TransJakarta which may come in handy. However, with the cheap taxi fare there is no point in taking bus. The hotel is neat, clean, tastefully decorated. Recommended for single traveller who looks for fun and excitement.
