Solid 4
Stayed here for a business trip in November 2018. It was my second time staying here. The hotel has a lot of charm. The lobby looks like a museum, there's an outdoor pool, and service is fantastic. However, the finishes in the room could use some improvement. The bathroom marble/tile is strange - that's the best way to put it. Room service doesn't quite hit the mark. There is not enough lighting in the rooms. A solid 4 stars from me, but doesn't excel in all areas to earn the full 5.

Dear Solid 4, Thank you for taking the time to share your comments with us. We were dissappointed to read that our rooms were not up to your expectations, especially with the marbles of bathroom, if you could be more specific. Also for the less bright lighting and the Room Service quality. Please be assured however each guest is of the utmost importance to us and we realise it is through receiving such feedback that we can reach and maintain the high level of service standards expected. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to The Dharmawangsa soon.

A Phenomenal Hotel
The Dharmawangsa is a phenomenal hotel. It is a 5-star hotel at a fraction of the price of any 5 star hotel in any major city in the world. Not to mention the space to have facilities like a beautiful outdoor pool which those other hotels in jammed cities could not. Do yourself a favour and book your stay there. Even if its slightly above your price-range, it will be worth it. The facilities are fantastic, including the pools which I made a great deal of use of. The outdoor pool is gorgeous. The indoor pool on the fourth floor and the hot tub which extended out into the garden were relaxing. I was more or less able to do my regular work out at the gym, the equipment were great, though the weights and machines are a bit dated. The room is extremely spacious, fantastic bathroom and comfy bed. Nice large ceilings, with two large doors to open to the outdoor balcony. With blackout shades and mosquito proof netting-like shades, I (not big on air-conditioner) kept the room wide open to the outside my whole 3 day stay. When it rained, it was simply beautiful. The staff were great, everyone I met. The breakfast buffet was very good and varied each day. I was with an Indonesian friend, who happened to say how good the Indonesian fare at the buffet was. I suggest to go for the Blue Bird taxi, or do Uber (which is huge in the country) or any number of the local apps.

oasis
The Dharmawangsa is an oasis in what I think is one of the worst cities in asia . Remember ...that if you book with expedia you will be given the least desirable room available . Upgrades will be available ( of course ...this is Indonesia ) for a charge ...hefty charge . So if you think you are going to get a great deal because the price is the best you have found so far ? think again

One of Jakarta's hidden pleasures...
Not for those who want the hustle and glamour of the CBD, but a quiet, elegant, and quintessentially Javanese retreat - a great alternative to the international hotels. It has low rise architecture built around a series of gardens and courtyards. Rooms are large, high ceilinged, elegant and well appointed with practical working area and internet. Mine had a balcony looking out on to a treed garden and street. Each room has a butler. Service through-out the hotel is impeccable. There is a stylish pool and fitness club, a variety of restaurants (indoor and outdoors), lounges and tea room. The Dharmawangsa is a treasure - highly recommended!

Understated Elegance...
On arrival, we were greeted by a friendly and attentive staff and it was much appreciated after a long taxi ride. Plan your trip accordingly - it took us just over 2 hrs to drive from the airport to the hotel and it was only 23 kilometers! If I had know about the peak traffic, I would have booked a later flight... so beware of crazy traffic jams! We stayed in an Executive King Suite Room which was comfortable and spacious with a large balcony overlooking the pool. We took all of our meals in the hotel - all were excellent, but the breakfast buffet was amazing! A must try is the chocolate martini in the bar!

Week away in Jakarta.
Overall the hotel is excellent in all areas. The rooms and bathrooms are huge and grand as well very peaceful it does matter it's location within the hotel all are great. My experience was great and my stay was a welcome change as the hotel has a calming effect and makes one relax. The only item where be it could improve on is breakfast choice as it is narrow selection but being a small hotel of say 100 rooms it was expected. Gym and sport facilities excellent as I used the great pool for laps and gym every day from 6 am. I would again stay again and recommend it's a must stay. Especially if they offered long stay pricing for say 10 nights and above. ?? Location is excellent. Lunch menu is tops. A truly great hotel.

The Very Best Hotel In Jakarta
If you are looking for over the top designs, colorful decorations and high energy settings, this is not the place. However, if you are looking for subdued, serene, peaceful but at the same time ultra luxurious experience with tasteful decorations, surrounding, Dharmawangsa is nearly perfect.

Very secure and comfortable
The Dharmawangsa is in a relatively convenient location if you are doing business in downtown Jakarta, a city with legendary traffic jams. It is an older hotel but immaculately cared for. It had a VERY large bedroom and bathroom, which was nice. Perhaps for reasons of privacy, the hotel is not clearly marked. Our taxi driver had to stop and ask directions several times.

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel which is nicely located and has friendly staff who provide excellent service. The lobby area always smelled good becuase of fresh flowers and the breakfast buffet had choices to please anyone.

One of the best anywhere
Minor mess ups. Butler brought tea instead of coffee but came back 10 minutes later with coffee when he realized the mistake. When we tried to return a wine because it was sour, the waiter could not understand why. The cream color rug in the room could use little spot cleaning. But I am nitpicking. Other than these, service is wonderful, pools are great and room is so quiet you get such good rest. The decor everywhere is sublime and comforting. The staff is well trained and friendly. By far one of the best hotels that I have stayed anywhere.

Great value
I found the hotel to be as others described it here. The staff was top notch. It was a pleasant surprise right after we checked into the room to have a butler knock on the door and offer to get us anything. The pool was closed for some reason, it had a large tent over it that looked like it had been there for months. The one black mark was the breakfast - so-so quality and $22. Highly recommended!
