Hotels near Sarinah, Central Jakarta

"The hotel is absolutely fantastic! The lobby was already wonderfully cool and had a pleasant aromatherapy scent as soon as I walked in. 👍🏻 Every corner is adorned with Chinese-themed decorations, making you feel like you're in Shanghai itself. 🥰 My mom loved it and kept taking photos everywhere, haha. The room was clean, The bathroom was clean, The AC in the room was cool, Everything was excellent. The only downside I can think of is that there wasn't a chair or sofa with a backrest in the room. This was a slight inconvenience since I was traveling with my elderly parents, haha. Other than that, everything was perfectly fine!"

"Excellent facilities and beautiful decor. The rooms are spacious, well-equipped, and the beds and pillows are very comfortable. The bathroom is also well-appointed with amenities, towels, shower gel, shampoo, and lotion. The breakfast was quite comprehensive and varied, with plenty to choose from. For me, the only thing missing was dairy products like yogurt. The staff were very kind, attentive, and looked after the guests, helping with everything they could. Special thanks to Gio who was very attentive to me, and to Yesika who made sure my stay was very pleasant – and they succeeded! Many thanks to them."

"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."

"Overall ok. Just small lobby and very crowded. Only 1 lift available that I need to wait longer. Small room.mentioned 18 sq but if i comparing with other hotel with 18 sq, a bit larger. Light too dim. Difficult to pack the things into luggage. Toilet floor quite slippery Some food tasteless. Lobby area is good with fresh refreshner aroma but for me it is too strong. Overall..clean room. Comfortable. Friendly and helpful staff."

"The hotel is a bit old, a little run-down, and definitely could use a renovation. However, the price-to-quality ratio is acceptable. It's located not far from the central square, and there are shops nearby. Everything in the room itself is in working order."

"I had a wonderful stay at Ashley Tanah Abang! The hotel is clean, modern, and very comfortable. The location is excellent—close to Tanah Abang Market, shopping areas, and public transportation, making it very convenient to get around Jakarta. The room was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was cozy, and the bathroom was clean with good amenities. The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help with a smile. Breakfast had a good variety of food, and everything I tried was fresh and delicious. Overall, the hotel offers great value for money with excellent service and facilities. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend Ashley Tanah Abang to anyone visiting Jakarta for business or leisure."

"The hotel's location and surroundings are excellent, with plenty of restaurant options right outside. It's also just over a kilometer's walk to Merdeka Square. The value for money is great. I'll definitely consider staying here again on my next business trip to Jakarta."

"The hotel is very well located, in a convenient spot for getting around and exploring the area. The room was spacious and comfortable, and we especially want to commend the kindness and attentiveness of the staff, who were very pleasant throughout our stay. However, there was one aspect that was quite disappointing. We chose this hotel primarily because it had a pool, as we considered it an important amenity for our stay. After checking in, when we asked for pool towels, we found out the pool was closed, but no one had informed us of this beforehand. We believe this information should be communicated either before arrival or during check-in so that guests can decide if the hotel meets their needs. Overall, the stay was good due to the location, the room, and the service we received, but the lack of information about the pool closure negatively impacted our experience."

"Stayed recently at Holiday Inn Express Jakarta Wahid Hasyim and honestly, it’s a very solid stay if you want convenience and a lively Jakarta experience. Location is definitely the biggest win. It’s right near Sarinah and you can easily walk to malls like Grand Indonesia, Plaza Indonesia and Thamrin City. Super convenient for food, shopping and just exploring the city. As a smoker, I was really glad they still have smoking rooms/floors available. That’s honestly getting harder to find nowadays. Breakfast buffet was just okay, not a huge spread, but the food tasted good and was satisfying enough before heading out for the day. Big shoutout as well to the concierge, front desk and restaurant staff. Everyone was accommodating and helpful throughout the stay. Best memory though? Right across the hotel is one of the oldest pubs in Jakarta. Went there at night and had an absolute blast watching live performances of oldies and 90s songs. The atmosphere was amazing and honestly became one of the most memorable parts of the trip. Definitely recommended."

"Good location, can walk to Plaza Indonesia and Grand Indonesia (but first day I walked a big detour to enter Grand Indonesia). Room is ok and clean, though not sure why there's a big pillar inside the room and I knocked it a few times. Bathroom is quite dark even with the lights. In the shower area, no rack to put your own toiletries. No tray to put the soup, I used the cup tray from outside. Hair dryer has no extra protective cover, I was scared that my hair would get stuck in so I had to hold the dryer some distance away from my hair. Breakfast is so so, the porridge is too sticky, I added water myself. I had to call two times to ask about my laundry."
