I recently stayed at Hotel Ashley and I can confidently say it is one of the best hotels in central Jakarta, especially considering how affordable the price is for what you get.
From the moment you enter the lobby, you are welcomed by a very pleasant and signature fragrance that immediately gives a premium and relaxing feel. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the reception team is friendly, polite, and always smiling, which makes the check in process smooth and enjoyable.
The hotel carries a strong Chinese inspired concept, which is reflected in the interior design as well as the dining experience. During breakfast, they serve a variety of Chinese style dishes, and everything is halal so there is no need to worry. In general, hotels in Jakarta maintain halal standards, so it is very convenient for Muslim travelers.
The room itself is very comfortable and well maintained. The air conditioning works perfectly, very cold and consistent, which is important in Jakarta’s weather. The bed is comfortable, the layout is practical, and the cleanliness is clearly well managed. One thing I really appreciated was the shower. The water pressure is strong and steady, and the temperature control works well, making it very relaxing after a long day.
Another strong point is the location. Being in central Jakarta, it is very strategic and close to many restaurants, cafes, shopping areas, and key business spots. It makes moving around the city very easy, whether for meetings or just exploring.
Overall, the hotel offers excellent value for money. You get a clean, comfortable stay, good service, unique concept, and a prime location without paying a premium price. I would definitely come back again whenever I visit Jakarta.
