favehotel Melawai

Located in shopping district. Everything is here. Food, grocery, clothing, souvenir, no need to go outside. But a bit hard to go out from here because small and tricky road. Overall is good experience.

It’s located downtown across a bargain mall that has seen better days so it isn’t clean. To be honest, it didn’t look safe but the locals were helpful if you ask politely even though they spoke little to no English. I like that at night, there’s a mini food market outside. It was also difficult to get there for the taxi (from airport to hotel) and for the Grab driver (from the hotel to another hotel) because of all the blocked small streets. They had to pay an entry fee to get to to the hotel. The hotel itself is very basic. It is clean and everything works. But the towels are a bit worn and frayed.

Check in was prompt. Lobby was nice, bright and welcoming. Our room was of a good size, clean but the towels need to change as they are so worn and hard. The sheets and covers have seen better days after continuous wash. It will be great if they put in new towels and bed linens. The breakfast was Indonesian style buffet. Slow in topping up. The girls mending the Egg station were rookies and do not accept critics. They make the egg omelet in advance and leave it to turn cold and serve that to the guest. Will not have breakfast there again. Book this hotel for the location easy access to food and shopping.

Book this hotel for the 4th time but this time around, I was quite shocked with the front office way of telling me that I did not request anything except for no smoking room. Countless time I have e-mail them directly even in my previous booking. So far no objection except this time around I was told no request was requested in the booking detail. Anyway, I have the room facing the mall, even though it is at 3rd floor and the most importantly, a good time in Jakarta Indonesia
