Jakarta Airport Hotel

8/10 Good

"It was clean and well maintained but no swimming pool and the ac didn't cool the room the way I needed I have seizures so a cold room is important. Other then that staff was amazing and hotel itself is in fact beautiful. It's still worth the experience if they upgrade the ac and have the pool running it would be fantastic One day I look forward to returning i hope these get fixed because both me and my fiance really enjoyed our stay."
