I spent three nights at the Gran Mahakam and grew to like the cozy cocoon away from the smog, noise and congestion that is Jakarta. The hotel is smaller--more of a European boutique--and is decorated in a French chateau or Italian villa style. Very nice, but somewhat surreal given the exotic Asian context. You know you are in a sketchy... more

I stayed here one night and found it to be a nice little hotel and really good value for money. It has a nice gym in the basement and small pool on sixth floor. Staff were very good and friendly and arranged transport for us to go to the hill resort where our meeting was the next day. Across the... more

The Gran Mahakam hotel is rated 41/2 stars. It is the only hotel in Jakarta with European ambiance, lovely in every detail, smaller than the new, huge 5 star places and more intimate. True value for money. The pool is tiny, but lovely, just enough for cooling off. While rooms are not enormous, they are cozy and tasteful. The Junior... more

Here is what I gleaned from my 3 week stay at the Gran Mahakam.... The Blok-M area in the immediate vicinity of the hotel is quite congested with everything from nicer restaurants to little street vendors. The hotel is very compact and as a result it suffers from the noise pollution of the local environment and its neighboring businesses. THE... more

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and really loved it. Super comfy bed - very quiet room (at the back of building). Great room and wonderful breakfast - probably the best we had in 3 weeks tripping around Java. Service was outstanding. Very friendly , efficient staff. We loved the feel of this hotel and the fact it... more

This hotel is located in South Jakarta behind the Blok M shopping mall. It is on a relatively quiet side street and rooms at the back have good views back towards the centre on the city. This was our first stay in a Sofitel hotel and I was excited to try a new hotel chain. Our first impressions were good.... more

Hotel looks pleasant and european from the outside. Inside all marble, beautiful flower arrangements, small balconies etc etc. Staff very helpful. I was sharing with a girlfriend, twin beds and we had a small overstuffed chair. Not huge but enough space. Bathroom very clean and modern. Lovely cafe/bar on ground floor with nightly live singer and piano player... great for... more

Very disappointing ! Tiny rooms, average service, cleanliness to be improved... The building looks very nice from the outside, but once you're inside it's a whole different story : old school decor, cheap equipment, little facilities. more

Jakarta hotels operate in a challenging envirnoment as meticulous hospitality has occasionally been overtaken by terrorist outrages. A hotel is only as good as the people in it and the Gran Mahakam has heart. Even if communication can sometimes be difficult, something good shines through that words dont describe. Some critics would rate a hotel on the plush of the... more

My Indonesian friend made a reservation for me. While Blok M is knon as a very active but noisy neighbourhood, this hotel was a oasis. On arrival, a glass of orange juice was served while a receptionist was checking me in. While the building looked old, it was well decolated and maintained. The room was relatively small, but again, very... more
