Stayed in this hotel for a few times and always leave with a smile on face, the room is excellent! very clean design with bath tub, the room design is modern minimalist very suiteable for young and dynamic people, this hotel once award as the best hotel design by one of asia travel or design magazine.

the best part of this hotel, if you look for food at night..there so many tent restaurant along the road of pecenongan (operated from 18.00-24.00) outside the hotel, most of them are chinese food such as sate babi but u can find others local food along the road..just be carefull of your belongings when u walking..

Alila is a modern minimalist hotel with maximal convenience. I am sure it was actually built for business travelers, as the location is right in the central of Jakarta.
We got this complimentary voucher to stay over a night at standard room. The check in was smooth and easy. We got a room on 19th floor, but we could hear the knocking sounds as Alila is having a renovations. We asked to be moved, and in no time, a staff came up and took us to 22nd floor to our new room.
Service was excellent. every-time we asked for something (e.g.. internet card, internet cable, complimentary water, a bucket of ice, extra soap, toothbrush, etc), the staff came quick and no fuss. each time, there would be someone calling back to our room to check if we have got what we needed. Making sure everything is great for us..
The breakfast was ok. Nothing special but the nice lay-out of the BUzz cafe.
The swimming pool is pretty too.. it's on the 6th floor.
The only downside is ..and it is pretty major... we couldn't sleep because at night we could hear foot steps, chair-dragging, thumping sounds from the room above ours. Must be one insomniac restless traveler, or a Ghost perhaps? he3x.
So basically the rooms have thin walls. And we could also hear praying from the mosques around the hotel.

But the service really exceeds our expectations.

This is a very modern and chic minimalist hotel. The rates are very competitive and you get a very nice hotel room with ample facilities like broadband and etc. Their Executive lounge is a good meeting spot to meet business clientale and have small business chit chat over light snack. It even comes with free wifi facility.

Location is good and you can get to anywhere within central jakarta from 10 - 20 mins by taxi. There is an abundance of warongs outside the hotels where you can get to sample local indonesia food.

The star is its refreshing minimalist chic design. Great personalised service as well. Can improve on variety of choices in food & beverages and also upgrade its in-room mini-fridge. Overall wonderful value and my premier choice in jakarta.
