Ascott Jakarta delivered an exceptional experience as always. The room was very spacious, fully equipped with all the amenities and supplies you could need. Unlike standard hotels, it really felt like home—you can cook your own meals and do your laundry.
The washer's smart sensor was a bit off, but overall having the wash-and-dry combo was still super convenient.
The bedding was decent, and the pillows were at a comfortable height. Staying on a higher floor meant I barely noticed the morning broadcasts.
Since there was a water dispenser, I didn't need to ask for bottled water. The hairdryer was average, but got the job done.
Location-wise, Grand Indonesia is just across the street, and Plaza Indonesia diagonally opposite isn't far either. There's ongoing metro construction in the middle of the road that looks like it will last a while, but it hardly affects getting around.
Since you can do laundry, drying space is somewhat limited—if you don't hang clothes in the bedroom, you're pretty much left piling them on the living room sofa. Also, the bedroom AC blew directly towards the bed, so at night I had to set it to dry mode and rely on the living room unit to keep the temperature down. Another thing to note is that traffic around here gets extremely congested during peak hours.
