The very first time i visited Jakarta, almost 20 years ago, I stayed at this hotel, in those days still the Sheraton Media. For over 16 years I was a very regular guest, visiting often 2-3 times/year, but after Sheraton sold the place and it become “The Media” the quality fading started. So few years ago I chose to Holiday Inn at Kemayoran to become my ‘second home’. As that hotel was fully booked, I decided to try ‘The Media’ again. As usual I stayed at the executive rooms at the upper floors. To my regret things didn’t improve... the executive lounge was closed for other events and could not be used. Breakfast pretty disappointing, as well as the evening buffet. Poorly managed restaurant, and limited choice in buffet to the Sheraton days. The sports bar smelly, and music too loud. When ordering room service, I was told all the wine was sold out. In general the rooms need an upgrade as getting old. Also no minibar. Nothing good to tell ? Well, the ThAi restaurant has always been great, and it still is. For sure worth a visit even if you don’t stay at the hotel. And I was happy to see Johannes again. But even his presence makes it unlikely I will stay here again. Above was hard to write as I spent so much time here in the past, but the truth needs to be told ... and hopefully something is done about it...

While the room charge was up there price wise because the Asia Games were on it was pretty hard to fault the venue or the service. Room had everything that is required of a venue of this size. Highly recommend their lunch menu and breakfast was pretty good as well.

I decided to stay at this particular hotel last week after finding out that most hotels in the area were either fully booked or only had few rooms left that evening. It was a last minute trip (we issued our airline tickets and hotel several hours prior to our departure). I didn't really want to spend hours of my time trying to find a hotel during this trip so that I decided to give it a try.
Without knowing what to expect, both of me and my colleague arrived at the hotel approx. 9:45 pm that evening. I did stay 10+ times during a span of 4 years from 2005 ~ 2009 when the hotel was still managed by Sheraton. It was a pretty nice hotel that time although the property had started showing its ages. Check-in was really efficient (5 minutes) and within less than 10 minutes, we entered our room which was located in 16th floor (room # 1614).
I did believe we got one of their standard rooms which was located in the higher floor. Although the room was in old condition but it was well maintained and we both were satisfied with our room's condition especially for few nights' stay. The bathroom area, however, was not really in proper condition after judging from the condition of its marble flooring and its bathtub.
Breakfast the next morning was good, breakfast spread was ample and the food quality really exceeded our original expectation. The hotel's location is ideal for those who do their activities in the northern region of Jakarta (Ancol, Kemayoran, Kota etc.). In our case, we have to visit JI Expo the next morning and the hotel is located within 10 minutes from the venue.
In conclusion, this hotel is recommended for those who are looking for decent accommodation during their future visits in Jakarta. One more thing : Ask for room(s) in higher floor as it seems its condition is much better than the one in the lower floor. Easily accessible either from Ancol's or Kemayoran's exit from tollway.
