Stayed many many times in Cemara. Oh, sorry, Grand Cemara now... Always smiling and friendly service. Room service is fast. Unbeatable housekeeping service - better than many 5-star hotels. Excellent value for money. Especially after they have upgraded the aircons. Wireless internet is pricey though...

All rooms are smoking rooms, all the extras are pricey

Overall, Cemara is a reasonable hotel. However a couple of things to be aware of. Every room is a smoking room, complete with cigarettes in the mini-bar. Also, every possible extra in the hotel is expensive - for example internet access (slow to medium wireless) is expensive, US$8 for a day - ending at 2pm regardless of whether you bought it at 3pm the previous day or at noon. A 200ml bottle of coke costs US$2, with service fee on top just for them to bring it to you at your table.

Fine hotel, with an excellent location in the heart of Jakarta. Average but clean rooms, friendly staff, and a small swimmingpool on the top floor. All in all good quality for your money.

prakash -stayed september 2007-kuala lumpur-malaysia
I have stayed in all kinds of hotels in jakarta and at last found one which has made me feel at home away from home.
I have made it my cooporate hotel and even recommended friends to bring families here to stay.
we have booked up to 15 rooms at a time and were very happy with the overall serviced given to us.SYABAS CEMARA HOTEL.
We are now even planning a seminar november after using 5 star hotel before.
The only downside is that not all rooms are checked for electrical and plumbing faults....hope this will improve.
The front office and dinning staff is like family and always go out of their way to help us to feel comfortable.
Looking forward on my next trip end month for a week.
Please look at giving something special for regular guest which will put the icing on the cake..

KEEP IT UP CEMARA HOTEL...YOUR STAFF BOLEH

I stayed at this hotel base on people review from tripdadvisor. Its not that bad actually. Its located in city centre, The room is clean but need to refurbish a bit, the staff is friendly. For traveler with small budget and want to stay at city centre, i would like to recommend this hotel. a lots of restaurant nearby, there is blue taxi which is 24 hours on standby at hotel lobby. And only Rp7000 from hotel to Jakarta Hard Rock.
