i have similar experience with balijazz, i order my ticket trough a travel agent and apparently i get some discount. i arrived early and headed straight to Borobudur, it was around 11.30 am. the reception told me that the room was full and i need to wait until 2pm, which they said as the 'check in time'. i thought was... more

I arrived early and was told i'd have to wait for 1 hour, no problem for me. The reception took my hp no and said they would contact me when my room was ready. 2 hours later still nothing so I went to reception who said the room had been ready for an hour! Finally in the room and it... more

I choose borobudur hotel for my wedding reception, and as a compliment they give me bridal suite room. The room is beyond my expectation, it is large, very clean, with two bathroom, living room, fax, you name it. The hotel staffs are very friendly, the lobby is great, elegant. You dont have to wait for the elevator, it will come... more

Our main reason for choosing this hotel was other reviewers' description of "an oasis amongst the hustle and bustle of Jakarta". We agree wholeheartedly with all positive reviews. We had a brilliant stay at the Borobudur. Smily, helpful staff. Good beds, quiet rooms. We liked the glass basin in our bathroom. Large pool set in a nice garden; we couldn't... more

I first stayed here in one of the apartments for several months when posted to Jakarta in 1994. August 07 was my first stay in the hotel since then and to be honest it has not changed very much. The best part of the hotel is still the huge grounds and well maintained 50 metre swimming pool - which was... more

Grand Soeharto era hotel showing it's age and lack of investment. Main attraction is huge gardens and pool - great if you have a young family with you. Also a bit of a sense of 'The Year of Living Dangerously'. Restaurants not bad. Close to major government offices and departments, well located for Old Town and not bad for CBD.... more

This hotel has a lot of positive features but some significant shortcomings. On the positive side, it is in an excellent location in central Jakarta. The lobby and restaurants are spacious and beautiful, the gardens and pool are very nice and a great break from the busy city. When you get to your room, you will be shocked at how... more

My wife, our 1 1/2 yr old son and I stayed in Jakarta for 4 months. We first stayed at the Hilton, now called something else. because it was right across the street from work. The rooms were spacious though a bit dated. The facilities were nice, many tennis courts, two pools, a nice fitness center, ok restaurants and located... more

The hotel sits in a cool green oasis right in the middle of central jakarta which is a huge attraction however the hotel itself is a little less grand. The rooms are fine but seem a little bare and really don't match up to the grand lobby and grounds. As well the hotel is very large so some are a... more
