We have always chosen Ascott Jakarta for our annual trips as its our favorite hotel and also a ASR member of the hotel chain. However, this recent stay was deeply disappointing.||As per our usual habit, I made our booking well in advance—about a month before our arrival—to secure a studio unit, which is ideal for just the two of us. Upon check-in, we were informed that we had been "upgraded" to a two-bedroom unit, which we neither requested nor needed. I politely insisted on staying in the studio unit I had originally booked, only to be told that the hotel was fully booked. This explanation did not sit well with me, as I had secured my reservation early.||On our previous stay with family, we booked a three-bedroom unit, which made sense as we were a group. But this time, it was just the two of us—why would we need a two-bedroom unit? And if the hotel was supposedly fully booked, how was a larger room available while the one I had reserved was not? This reasoning felt completely unjustified.||Reluctantly, we accepted the two-bedroom unit, but from the moment we stepped in, we felt extremely uncomfortable—there was an unsettling atmosphere in the room. Hoping to shake off the feeling, we went out for a while, but upon returning, the uneasiness remained.||Feeling increasingly distressed, I reached out to the front desk once again and firmly requested the room I had initially booked. Thankfully, at 10 PM, Fernando, who was on the night shift, attended to us and managed to arrange a smaller room. Although it was on a smoking floor, which was far from ideal—especially as I am asthmatic—I accepted it because staying in the two-bedroom unit was simply not an option. Despite the circumstances, I truly appreciate Fernando’s effort and assistance at that hour.||My main concern is this: why was my original booking not honored, despite making it well in advance? How can the hotel claim to be fully booked when I had a confirmed reservation? As a loyal member of the hotel chain, this experience was incredibly frustrating and unacceptable.||I sincerely hope Ascott improves its room allocation system and respects reservations made by its...

Read moreThere are 3 Ascott properties in Jakarta if I'm not wrong. This one is located behind Grand Indonesia Mall in Jl.Kebon Kacang. Very close to Bundaran HI. I Stayed for a night in 3 bedrooms suite apartment for a short family staycation. The 3 bedrooms apartment is very spacious and comfy for family. It has 2 rooms with king & queen size bed, and 1 room with twin bed configuration. Kitchen with standard utensils and maid room + bathroom (although no bed in the maid bedroom). Living room and dining room has an open concept design with a large window along the room, make the living room and dining room feels bright and comfy. Actually some part of the rooms feel a little bit old, especially the bathroom but still feels luxurious. Drinking water provided with in-kitchen water dispenser and there is also a large refrigerator, microwave and induction stove. It is a fully utilized kitchen although the utensil and dining ware is a little bit limited.
The furnish in the bedroom is a little bit basic and there is some empty spot that looks a little bit awkward, TV also a little bit in small size and the TV channel has quite a lot of noise.
But despite some of the downside mentioned above, the overall experience was still a very satisfactory ones.
It is great for family gathering or friends reunion and staycation.
Unfortunately during the stay I didn't have a chance to try the facilities as it was during covid-19 pandemic.
I would recommend for you to request room in higher floor to get...
