Had dinner at La Brasserie and it was great. Although it was buffet and I particularly do not like buffet for lunch or dinner, this one was delightful. Different types.of cuisines like local Indonesian, Japanese, Chinese. The seafood display was great. Tried many things like five different types of bread, exquisite seafood salad, beef and chicken stir fry and a fantastic lamb stew. Desserts were decadent. The whole display was amazing, service excellent and priced right.
The hotel has an old decoration but it didn't creep me out like old hotels tend to. Room was so comfortable, nice toiletries, comfortable bed! Staffs were nice too! The lounge was really nice, I can say I got the best table as it had an amazing view of Jakarta at night.
Indonesian cultured hotel with a big pool, the room is very great, very wide, and has a wide window that can see the Jakarta, this hotel also serves many foods, but the foods may not various and not too delicious, the service is standard, for the window on the room, please make a cleaning guy that cleaning the window off, so we doesn’t have to difficultly see the outside, there are so many black dots. Strategic place, also the price is not matched with the room, it must be cheaper 100-300k. Wanted to rated 5, but this hotel doesn’t well to deserve this, sorry, this hotel is great, I reccomend this hotel especially for foreigner.
Very nice place to be for a short period. Maintains standards. But only one issue. Very less options for vegans during breakfast.
But they can customize the food the way you want and they are good at it too..
Went to a wedding over here.
Not sure about Organizer or Hotel's
Food was running out pretty fast, and not much selection of food stalls
ceiling is a bit low and room is pretty small for a ballroom i guess.
Very limited parking space as well. Staffs recommends to park at nearby ANZ building.
Quaint hotel although it's getting a bit old. Nice staff. I visited and had the Milfoil in the bakery and it was amazing
Good quality business hotel, decent gym, nice spread for breakfast and good selection of restaurants. Staff are helpful and efficient.
One of the older 5 star hotels in Jakarta, but unlike the other old hotels, the room is in top condition; clean, and comfortable. The upside is, the room is more spacious than other newer 5 star hotels with same grade (standard vs standard, deluxe vs deluxe, etc. The staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast is excellent, food variety and quality is good. Ample parking on the premises, and access ramps are large enough (unlike some newer hotels with super narrow ramps, while newer vehicles has grown larger, go figure).
Excellent hotel. Very nice staffs. Spacious rooms with all facilities. This hotel will be much suitable for the people who are traveling for business as most of the business locations are near by. There is a wonderful swimming pool with a traditional temple design added to its beauty. The breakfast is really really good with options from all over the world. You can also exchange you cash in a counter within the hotel.
What I like: The room are neat and smell nice, calming. The restaurant serves various food including healthy ones.
Things that can be better: Pool are dirty at times. The gym equipments need to be reconditioning.
Some ridiculous things I found: Servers, waiters, greeters, whatever you call those nice ladies in restaurant area have one same pattern: Caucasian First. They serve those bule like they are the only ones contributed to hotel's income. I came first and waited more than 5 minutes with no queue before me -- to get table for dinner, but the bule who came way after me get their table right away, and made me to wait another 5-10 minutes. And that wasn't my first bad experience by the wa, saying this feels like a pattern for this hotel.
Great experience. Above average. Functional and well designed rooms. Food is also great.
Despite its age, hotel is still in good conditions, although door to my room is a bit tricky to open. Staff are friendly, quick and efficient. Breakfast fare not the best.
One of the legacy 5-star hotel at the very heart of Jakarta. Still got its class with great food and service
Nice hotel for wedding event under 600 pax. Ballroom design is nice, and the foyer area can also be used for food stall.
Excellent hotel. Very nice staffs. Spacious rooms with all facilities.
Five stars hotel in Central Jakarta. Located in Jend. Sudirman main street. Big and clean hotel. Comfort, elegant, and upscale service. Good food good atmosphere.
We made an event in this hotel! booked and paid full for ballroom, and guess what, in the same date as the event, they change our ballroom to regular meeting arbitrarily with a simple "sorry, we forgot to tell you" and our event was SCREWED! no refund, no compliment no nothing! just an Arrogant we're sorry (and there's nothing you can do about it because you already paid us!). We, and all our partner corporate will never ever hold a venue in this place ever again! and we encourage everyone not to make one in this hotel! We have proof like contract and event photos if anyone want to see crazy sales team!
This is a wonderful hotel to stay in. The staff is all incredibly friendly, and the variety of food is amazing. The rooms are very clean and modern. I would highly recommend this hotel to any traveler!
5 star hotel, Comfortable Room in good area.. nice staff..nice music too coz got a club there
Nice and comfortable hotels. They also provide very yummu breakfast and dinner. The rooms are very comfort and clean
Nice comfortable hotel with really good service. Location is good but the roads are jam with cars. Beds are really comfortable and clean.
Clean rooms, Excellent food and very good service. I had an early morning flight from Jakarta to Bali. We were informed that take away tea, coffee and snack bags (containing fruit, muffin and boiled egg) were kept for early travellers. How thoughtful.
Spacious room. Although it is an old Hotel, the condition of the room is alright. A bit dusty tho' (a bit here and there). Good Services, bravo! Friendly and genuinely attentive front desk
Good room, nice facilities, lovely staff and good services! This is the best hotel I've ever stay in Jakarta!
Always great Lebanese food. The fresh bread very taste. Also if you like manouchi. It's very very good.
The hotel is old enough but good enough for meeting. The banquet is huge and comfortable
Nice staff, several great restaurants in the hotel, clean and big rooms, walking distance to a mall and central to many places in Jakarta. Furnishings in the room were a little dated, but otherwise really nice place.
Le Meridien is still the elegant little hotel in the center of Jakarta and we all go there for the Lebanese restaurant Al Nafoura and its deli/cake shop with serious selection of homemade chocolates.
The most favourite part of this hotel is La Boutique Gourmande !
For me, La Boutique Gourmande serves the best cake in Jakarta. I do love their Mille Feuille cake, Sacher Cake nd their Opera Cake.
They have many options of cake in slice and whole cake. And, they will give you discount 50% after 7pm for the bread and cake !
Worth the visit ❤
Good place, no doubt.. Especially, my fav dessert place for one sweet slice of Vanilla Mille-feuille..
Outdated and ugly building but with great food and good service and decent security. Rooms are ok but old furnishings and carpeting make it feel like a 2 star motel.
A year after-
This place is even worse than I remember, my company makes me stay here during business trips and the only thing about this place are the SPG points. The place really smells bad. The first day I was there I vomited while I was walking to my room because the restaurant where they serve breakfast really smelled bad. The place is even more run down and dirty.
Time to renew the hotel SPG!
Nice hotel. Very friendly personnel. (To much slave like for me, but that is just me) Hotel seems to be older than expected, but I like staying here.
A very nice hotel in the middle of the city. The room that i went to is very nice with my favorite part is the mirrors. the bathroom is very nice, you can soak inside the bath tub or just have a quick shower. The bed is very comfortable, makes me don't want to get up.
If you traveling from India and didnt want to miss India food, stay here. Located in CBD could take more than an hour if u have to go to suburban industrial area. As an SPG member you feel much taken care of. Lounge is exceptional. La Brasserie is for buffet.. Al Nofura offers great arabic lebanese food. Have stayed more than 10times and not getting bored
My friend invited me for the "buka puasa" in Lemeridien Hotel, the cuisine was excellence with a great decoration
I got the best service of all. Wonderful
Have stayed here for more than seven times. The service is always homey. The hotel is very old but is maintained well. Local cuisine us very good and is a must try especially the rendang sapi (beef rendang). It is newly renovated with the same old feel. Their gym is very well equipped. It even has a rowing machine.
2nd time here, 2nd time everything was good. Excelent international breakfast.
Very friendly personal. If i come back to Jakarta i stay here again
Nice hotel with nice ambiance but just only one veg dish in the menu, which is potato fry
Only here for meetings and seminars, but the food is always great. Great variety and taste delicious.
This has been my go-to hotel in Jakarta for a few years now. It's well located (i Cahn even walk to some places when the traffic gets really bad!) And the service is always decent.
It is starting to get a little old - and the perennial massive hole next door of an abandoned tower does give it an air of being less luxurious then it probably is.
With newer SPG properties opening up in the coming year, I'm not sure this place will remain top of my list for too much longer.
They said, you still can't go far wrong staying here.
--Contaminated food/water led to parasitic infection--
You can tell this was a 5 star hotel some 30 years ago. Staff are very friendly and the services provide are quite extensive - though this seems to be the case with most upscale Jakarta hotels.
Yet, I contracted a parasitic infection of my gut during my stay there, eating breakfast and dinner at the hotel every day. When running a bath after a subsequent fever, the water was grey. However, when I asked the staff they claimed that the hotel's water supply is being purified in some way. Finally, appliances, lighting and all amenities (incl towels and bath robes) are several years old.
I spend between a quarter to half of my nights in hotels each year and I am a big fan of SPG, but this hotel is not up to Meridien standards. I'd recommend to check out the competition, as they have great offers in the same price range and newer hotels provide the peace of mind to get your work done.
Outdated and ugly building but with great food and good service and decent security. Rooms are ok but old furnishings and carpeting make it feel like a 2 star motel.
