Pullman Jakarta Indonesia Thamrin CBD

Over the past decade or so, whenever I return to Indonesia, I always choose to stay at a Pullman at least once. Compared to the Central Park location, the rooms here are a bit smaller, but the overall quality remains consistently good. One praiseworthy touch is the bottled water: the glass bottles look great, and they are quite generous by providing 4 bottles at a time. However, by 2026 standards, the room facilities feel a bit dated, with the biggest drawback being the lack of convenient bedside charging ports. On the bright side, the air conditioning temperature control is reliable and works well. The lobby and the lounge are both very attractive, and the location is unbeatable—Plaza Indonesia is just across the street. Following the renovation, the dining options alone make it a solid choice. The double security check at the entrance also provides extra peace of mind. Getting to the southern part of the city is much more convenient now with the MRT, but if you plan to take a taxi to the west or north, starting from this location still involves dealing with heavy traffic.

Overall, it's just average, and the value for money isn't great either. Breakfast isn't as good as it used to be. The showerhead in the room is old and unstable, and there isn't much hot water available late at night. The air conditioning in the room doesn't work very well. During the day, there are two people standing at the hotel entrance, one to open the door for people entering and another for people leaving. Couldn't they just install an automatic door and save on these two salaries?

The location is excellent. There are two large malls within walking distance. Security is tight, and there's a bag check when entering the building. The breakfast with various international cuisines was delicious and satisfying.

Old-fashioned decor, and the water on the 11th floor alternates between hot and cold.

The hotel is conveniently located directly across from a large shopping mall, which also has a supermarket downstairs. There are many dining options, making it very convenient. Situated in the heart of Jakarta, the hotel environment is also excellent.
