We stayed here for 6 weeks in 2010, the hotel is a little way out of town but close enough to Plaza & Grand Indonesia and other famous landmarks!
The grounds surrounding this hotel are lovely beautiful gardens and i believe it has the largest hotel swimming pool in Jakarta. HOWEVER the rooms are VERY tired and need a major make over.
We tried several of the restaurants and i found the Japanese to be the best. I would stay here again for the facilites but not the rooms.

I stayed twice in a club room at the hotel for business, and found the rooms spacious, comfortable and well equipped. The personalized club room service is excellent; the lodge on the 18th floor provides great additions (breakfast, tea, cocktails) with a nice view., wifi, and comfortable chairs. The Indonesia restaurant is also quite good, and the pastry shop is an asset. The only minus for the rooms were perhaps the old bathrooms (functional), and the second time, the slight smell of smoking cigarettes in a non smoking room.

Stayed there for two times in February and May. I felt really comfortable, the room quite tidy and clean. The lobby is average, but the restaurant is very good. Having dinner there, near the pool with BBQ was great enough to relax my body and soul.

One thing should be considered in Borobudur is the "sop buntut" or oxtail soup. It was really great, you must try it. Tasty and delicious.

Our family helped us to check-in and out the room for us, so we have nothing to share about it.

The hotel is located in the historic area of Jakarta with all Dutch colonial buildings within walking distance.

The room is quite comfortable although it was a little outdated. It seems that the room has undergone some renovation in recent years but honestly it could have been done much better and I am just not a big fan of hotel room with carpet flooring.

Breakfast and food at the restaurant was great, famous for their Ox Tail Soup.

Generally, with a bit more effort from the management I believe that this hotel could return to it's past glory.
