Lonely Planet guided us to the Jalan Jaksa area where we started to explore the neighbourhood in search of a hotel for one night only. All hotels and guesthouses on Jaksa were terrible. Just down the road however, on Jalan Wahid Hasyim, you can find a good choice of hotels several standards higher en not necessarily more expensive. We chose... More

The hotel located at town area called "Wahid Hasyim". From airport, you can take "Damri" local bus (Rp 20k/pax) to Gambir station and take taxi to the hotel. I've booked 2 family suite (5th floor) for 3 nites in this hotel. The highest floor is 6th floor. I requested a connecting room which they told me that there is none... More

Me and my wife took the executive deluxe room and it was really good and quite large. Very well situated in the heart of Jakarta. We book through Agoda and later found out it is without breakfast. Wifi cost 10 USD. It should be free. Service is good.

After browsing for sometimes thru different webs and look up reviews and such, so my eyes caught in this property. It's located in the nice area, near by Sarinah Mall and lots of eateries surround this hotel. Let's begin to rate this premises. It's a LGBT Welcomed..., Great!!! When I firstly arrive, get off the car, I have been asked... More

A safe choice. The first time I got here it was three stars hotel, but now it's declared a four stars hotel. The design is quite simple, a small hotel actually. A small swimming pool located in the upper level. I know Cemara is just having a renovation, and it also opens a branch nearby. I visited and made some... More

I am a Jakarta-Addict. Don't ask me why. Maybe its because of the culture and food. And whenever I travel to Jakarta, i would stay at Cemara Hotel (it's the nicer looking, more compact than Grand Cemara, couple of metres away) First of all, I would like to highlight their amazing affordable prices. 30USD per night is definitely a steal...

I agree with the last review that the hotel is not as bad as some people say. You have to understand that a 4-5 star hotel in Asia is not the same as a 4-5 star hotel in the West. If you have those expectations, then sure, you'll be disappointed. I knew exactly what I was getting before I got... More

Cemara (dont mistake it for "Grand Cemara" and tell your taxi drives too as they might drive you to the wrong one) is located in Central Jakarta and in walking distance to lovely taverns and restaurants. The shopping malls arent far away as well! The hotel is simple but clean. I stayed there 3 or 4 times already and I... More
