Mercure Jakarta Batavia

Location: The hotel is strategically located in Jakarta's Old Town, making it convenient for exploring nearby attractions such as Batavia Square, museums, and Chinatown. Guests appreciated the walkable proximity to historical sites, cafes, and restaurants.(based on 48 reviews)

The good: The hotel is spacious and the lobby is quite nice, it was quiet which suited me. The actual rooms were very good, shower was great and beds were comfortable. The breakfast and buffet dinner were also quite reasonable but probably not enough choice to be truly an international hotel. The room air conditioning worked well. It’s not too far from the airport depending on traffic and time of day. The bad: The pool bar could not even provide a beer let alone any of the cocktails on their menu. The only spirit available was whiskey…therefore they couldn’t make any cocktails. Truly bizarre. The downstairs bar, which had inside smoking and poor ventilation, did have select beers and some wines; again no other spirit except whiskey despite having a cocktail menu. Wifi access wasn’t provided, they didn’t have bottled water but filtered water was freely available, so take your own water bottle. Items such as toothbrush, shaving kit etc were also not in the room; a phone call to reception was needed to get these. There was a problem with our keycard which was eventually rectified. I didn’t feel safe walking in the area, so using a grab or taxi is recommended.

Nice location on edge of old town Jakarta, Kota Tua. Good quality hotel, nice and clean and great breakfast.... A bar would be a good idea on the roof, ....this was lacking
