Stay in MO for one night in Superior room during Independence Day weekend, which also during the Moslem's fasting month. We got promo price, which made our stay more valuable. Like most of the reviews, mine was also very positive because we do have a very good staying here.
Positives:
- I'm living in Jakarta, so location is not really relevant for me, but yes, it's in central. Every Sunday, between 06.00-11.00am, the Thamrin & Sudirman Street are closed for car-free-day event. The Jakartans use this event to do sport activities (walk, run, aerobics, etc.) and some music/dance/art performances. If you stay here on Sunday, please expect to hear a slight of noise from the street, especially if your room is facing the Welcome Monument fountain. In my experience, the noise was not loud and the MO will make you aware of this condition by sending a note to your room explaining this weekly event on Saturday evening.
- Check in & check out was a breeze.
- The room is spacious, clean, nicely design & our room has a view of Welcome Monument fountain.
- The bathroom is also spacious, with 5-star bathroom amenities, including the bathtub.
- The kingsize bed mattress, pillows, and sheets are very comfortable.
- Breakfast was very good with many varieties on food.
- Free wi-fi in the room.
- Their biggest asset is definitely the staff. The most efficient, friendly, attentive and professional staff. We always been treated like VIP even we stay for one night only.
- With this promo price, we also entitled a free taxi ride to Grand Indonesia & Plaza Indonesia shopping centres (but not the other way around) across the hotel. It was a nice perk to have if you want to go during daylight, because the sun could be quite punishing outside.
I cannot give comments on their restaurants (except for the breakfast), because we chose to dine outside. Also we didn't try the pool (very small size pool for such top notch 5 star hotel) and we didn't use the gym. We prefer to do jogging outside during the car-free-day Sunday..LOL.
Negative:
- Probably only the small pool, which is not really inviting.
Will I come back? Absolutely.
