The room is clean,but the air conditioner not cool enough,bad response from receptionist,not quick enough to handle complaint,hot temperature at room,not recommended,very disappointed.no pho3ne at room,you must go to the lobby,cause the phone near the lift is broken,and make sure you wait the receptionist at the lobby till your complains solved,cause if you wait at room,they never go to your room ,they abandon your complains till you follow up the complains by yourself

MaxOne Sabang is a great budget hotel for the price especially in a town like Jakarta. It is located towards the end of Jalan Sabang (every cab driver should know this or he is trying to scam you).

Reception staff was friendly and efficient during check in process. The room itself is small, good enough for travelling solo with limited budget. Room numbers are located at the bottom of the floor in front of the door. The choice between power and rain shower in the bathroom is really good for a budget hotel. The location is good - close to restaurants and street food until late at night (or even past midnight). There is also a minimart at the lobby, or you can walk a little (3 mins stroll) to the nearest Alfamart and Indomaret. Not sure how the parking works in MaxOne since the drop off point is really small and I don't travel with my own car anyway. Didn't really get to try out the buffet or the cafe downstairs since I was on an express stopover during my stay.

Minor negative points:
- scratches on the wall in the room (not dirty though)
- difficult to get a cab in the morning especially peak working hours
- WIFI signal is too weak in my room (perhaps just its location)

Overall, MaxOne Sabang is a pleasant business budget hotel especially for the price that I got (less than USD40).

I found a cheap hotel in Jakarta the price per night was only $38.00. I found it searching the tripadvisor site. Booking the room early saved me a lot of money. I went with a standard room and luckily, it was in the back so the street noise was virtually nonexistent. The coffee house in the lobby was great and was open all day and night. It was within walking distance to nearly everything. Staff was great even with limited English. The idea of a tree with hangers in the room gave a very artsy feel.

Great hotel for solo traveller, simple, central location. Coffeeshop open 24 hours, there's a minimart attach to it, so getting late night munchies is no problemo. Down-sides are:
-No in-room phone, got a brochure to buy "in-room meal" have to get to a house phone near the elevator..this red phone that reminds me of those "nuclear emergency" hotline to the president phone..LOL, oooor...(this is what to my opinion is the absurd one) call a Jakarta number...like...why cant they install an-in-room intercom of some sort? Staff are great, I love the fact that one night I was returning from my project, the front office staff greet me by name! A five star treatment! Kudos... Mind you that the room price does not include bfast which you have to get at the restaurant in the lobby (different management from the hotel I think), the bfast was not really that pleasing, but enough to start your day. I had to get my coffee elsewhere tho. Overall, nice 3 night stay. Would I return? Probably :)
