Artotel Thamrin Jakarta

A renovated hotel downtown looks nice but has some things that could be improved. Similar to OYO, which has gained popularity in India, Jakarta has also seen a rise in renovation-type hotels. The advantages are clear: good location, updated facilities (though the building beneath the wall is old), and efficient operations. However, soundproofing is poor due to the age of the building. I could hear the sound of a live band playing on the ground floor, even on the 5th floor, and a guest on the 3rd floor complained to the front desk the following day. The air conditioning is also outdated, leaking water from the AC on the 5th-floor corridor. There’s no privacy curtain, just blackout ones, making it hard to let in natural light. There is no car waiting zone in front. Considering the location, facilities, and operations, USD65, including tax, service, and breakfast, is reasonable.

Artotel Thamin was beyond my expectations. Superior service and experience. Staff kindly helped me with luggage delays from airport. They are gracious and professional. Ambience is so creative, beautiful and cultural. As an artist, I felt like I was home. Breakfast is excellent quality. Great value. Highly recommend!

Overall experience is good except slightly late check in time. The staff is helpful to solve the air-conditioner issue and location is quite central with good live band. There is also club at Lv7 but beware of the sound. You can heard it if you located at Lv6 room but overall still acceptable.
