I stayed here in August 07. The hotel is really grand and feels very luxurious.
The rooms were large, comfortable and bathrooms clean and well appointed. The only negative part was that we requested a room change as we would hear constant music from outside the hotel but this was done immediately and with no problems.
The breakfast was one the best I've ever had, large variety (fried rice, waffles, pancakes, mee goreng) and good quality.

The hotel is also well located and is close to many shopping malls. Jakarta is of course not the safest place so I would reccomend taking a cab to the malls nonetheless.

The staff are polite but I wish the consierge was more helpful.
I asked to book a car to the airport but got three different rates from 3 different people which made things confusing.

Overall I had a great time, I loved the rooms and would definately stay here again.

We stayed in this hotel for 1 week, and 2 days before checkout realized items inside locked-save box in the room was stolen. Talked to the hotel manager and was told only hotel manager has the access to locked-saved box. Reported to local police, investigated the room, and the police also said that the same incident happened a month ago, too.

Items never discovered till now. Will address this issue to US embassy in Jakarta and post this in as many online-hotel-review website.

Hotel looks can be deceiving, stay away from this hotel if I am you.

this is an amazing hotel, everything was perfect, from the staff to the room to the breakfast. strongly recommended

I spent four nights at the Hotel Mulia Senayan in late July 2007. I wasn't sure what to expect, as this was my first trip to Jakarta.

I'd booked a Grandeur room, and was given a large, room on the 23rd floor overlooking the pool. The room was nicely furnished and decorated and had a very comfortable, massive king sized bed. The bathroom was also large, with both a shower stall and a separate bathtub.

Check in was a bit slow, as there were many people checking in when I arrived. Getting to my room was a challenge, as you have to insert your key card into a slot in the elevator before selecting your floor. There was a mad rush to do this when the elevators were busy and I ended up missing my floor a few times .

Service was very good, although I had to call more than once to get ice one particular night. Each time I left items with a porter to take up to my room, I received a follow up phone call to confirm that they'd been received. I thought this was a nice touch.

My room rate included a fabulous buffet breakfast in the cafe. The food was excellent and the selection was mind boggling.

I had dinner three nights in il Mare, the hotel's Italian restaurant. The food was wonderful and the service was flawless. The fourth night I dined in The Cafe and very much enjoyed my meal there as well.

Security was very tight at the Mulia and I felt very safe. In fact, I was amazed to find security just about everywhere I visited in Jakarta. Metal dectectors, car and bag inspections, etc.

My only complaint about The Mulia was the noise. Every night I could hear music from a nightclub, but I never did learn the source. I was also surprised that I could hear the traffic, even though I was on the 23rd floor. I could hear my neighbor talking and rummaging through his closet as well.

Otherwise, it was a great stay and I'd happliy stay there again.
