Good, centrally located hotel/serviced apartment. Not the quietest hotel I have ever stayed in (two floor-to-ceiling windows facing a big mosque didn't help -- double-glazing would have), but comfortable, well thought out living space. Reasonable work area and reasonable internet connection. The lobby area -- where breakfast is served -- is small (when the hotel is full it can be a scrum to grab a table. Outside on the terrace is a man making bespoke omelets and waffles -- much better than the slightly tired food at the buffet. Fruits juices, in particular, were poor. The fresh fruit was not quite ripe. The usual Asian/Indonesian breakfast foods weren't really up to it. The Italian-ish (what Italian restaurant would have hamburgers on the menu? They were good, however) restaurant attached to the hotel is excellent. Clearly it's a meeting point for Jakarta's yuppies. The night I ate there several parties -- including a fun/fancy-dress/slightly raucous hen's night/engagement party -- were in full swing. Nevertheless the service was good and the food fine. Also good is the pale green fronted Indonesian restaurant across the street and 100 meters to the right. To get there you have to walk the gauntlet of street food vendors at night. Smelled great, but I lacked the courage to try any of it.

Excellent bed. Sleep quality would have been higher but for the very early morning call for prayers. There are 2 or 3 mosques near the hotel. The call to prayer at one was so melodious that it could seduce even a non-believer. Unfortunately the call to prayer at the other mosque was of the badly distorted, overly amplified sergeant-major type.

The staff were friendly but not very well-informed.

Tip: lower the black-out shade when you leave the room for the day. Otherwise the room will be baking when you return.

Would I stay again? Yes.

I stayed for a night, check-in was again...swift and courteous. Room was still great, booked a smoking room on the 4th floor. Found a very nice touch in a form of a fruit-choco christmas cookie, taste good too :) Breakfast was awesome! Mozarella tomatoes and spinach picatta..who would thought? I had two of each..LoL. Taxi are always easy to find.. Hopefully Morrissey can maintain their high quality, looking forward to return. A slight minus point, internet at the business centre is waaaaay too expensive... minimum one hour too! It's not that fast :( I won't mind paying that amount for a blazing fast connection.

Overall a great hotel. Something you need in a rather horrible city like Jakarta. great value for money (80 USD/night)

Room: according to latest standard. good pillow selection, spacey room. insulation of the door could be a bit better. Window to outside could be slightly larger as well, but nonetheless it's a great room. Only flaw, the toilet door is not soundproof at all, so you don't want to take a dump while someone is in the room.

food: buffet was fairly good. good selection and good quality. the Italian restaurant inside the hotel is excellent, worth the money.

pool: nice pool, could be a bit longer for swimming, but the marvelous view makes up for it.

gym: a bit too minimalistic. A couple of additional machines, weight would help.

Overall it's an excellent hotel.
Just make sure you don't stay too long. Jakarta is an awful city and there is barely anything to see as a tourist, nor to do. Except you like wandering around in malls.

I chose this hotel based on the reviews in Trip Advisor. When I noticed that the lowest room category was only 29 sqm, I was a bit underestimating the hotel. Turned out that I was wrong. This hotel brilliantly managed to make the 29-sqm-room looks spacious. The amenities provided were also similiar with 5 stars hotel. The most memorable experience here was the great hospitality from the staffs. The icon from this hotel is its rooftop pool, it is a small pool and not too deep, you can enjoy city view from there. The best time to go to the pool is at 4.30-5 pm so you can experience the sunset beauty. The gym is quite small with only 2 equipments but is enough if all you want to do is a light treadmill exercise. I did not try their laundry room on the 3rd floor though but it seemed convenient. They provide detergent too on the laundry room. The buffet breakfast was average, just normal buffet for small hotel like this. Anyhow, you can find various food & beverages on the neighbourhood. The money changer is just opposite of the hotel. It has good exchange rates too. The nearest shopping mall is Grand Indonesia & Plaza Indonesia. If you went there by taxi, it will cost you Rp 12.000-Rp 15.000 only, however during traffic time the cost could increase becomes Rp 25.000-Rp 30.000. I will definitely come back to this hotel, probably will try their 1 bedroom Deluxe room next time.
