Hotel Bidakara Jakarta — Hotel in Jakarta

I stayed here with my wife and two little boys for a pemilu staycation. Surprisingly the staycation was actually better than I expected. Hotel Bidakara Grand Pancoran is surely not as luxurious like The Ritz Carlton or Fairmont, but definitely a very family friendly hotel. The hotel is not new or trendy, but it is cozy and has that warmth and sincere hospitality. The room was quite spacious, the bed was comfortable, all the basic facilities are provided. Some of the furniture was dated butuh didn't really matter and made my stay less enjoyable. A little improvement and replacements would be nice though. Most important the air conditioner and minimal refrigerators worked properly. The hotel has a small indoor children playground, outdoor pool and garden. My two little boys (and their dad) really enjoyed playing around there. At the time we were there, there were no one else so the place was ours to enjoy. My favourite time staying at a hotel is the breakfast. Surprisingly it was nich better than I thought. The food and drinks offered have so many options. Mostly Indonesian and Asian dishes though. Mostly taste delicious. The hotel also connected to Bidakara building complex, plenty of shops and eateries available in the public area, Starbucks, excelsoo, family Mart, and many more. There is also a Masjid in the basement, muslim travellers/guest doesn't need to worry performing...

I have stayed In many hotels and this is without question the best. Read below to see why

The attention to detail is second to none. Rooms are spotless and the vista from the top floors are incredible. At night the pool city lights dazzled. Access to tourist spots readily available with short travel.

The staff are exceptional always greeted by name, thats including all room staff, conceierge, security staff. All would assist instantly without hesitation. A special mention to Emily, whom would bend over backwards to help in anyway possible. She took the time to explain the specific details of the food at the amazing buffet breakfast and was available at the drop of a hat.

My experience here has me bewhilderd why it is not rated 5stars. Nothing short of 5 stars in my opinion.

Thank you to all the staff, miss you all. I will be back again for the 4th time...

Decent local Indonesian Hotel.Upon checking in, I was told that the room category was fully booked but before I could protest, they said that they will upgrade me to a Junior Suite. Now, how is that for instant service recovery.....?The suite was cavernous with a separate living area and a large bedroom. The bathroom was well supplied with amenities and the big plus was the coffee machine in the livinging room which brewed excellent coffee.Breakfast was mostly local options and very decent.Service associates were very helpful and polite. Everyone seem very willing to helf. When I looked "lost" trying to figure out what to have for breakfast, one of the service associates came up to me and asked if I needed help and he bothered to explain what the various breakfast options were and even recommended to me his personal favourite.All in all, a...
