Me and my colleague are regular patrons to Hotel Mulia Senayan till this Jan 2008 whereby Hotel Mulia is fully booked or something just went wrong with our booking and we wasn't able to get a room.

Trying to get a hotel that's near our Client's Office in Jakarta Barat (West Jakarta) so that we don't waste too much time being stuck in Traffic Jams, we decided on Crowne Plaza eventually. We took up the Club Rooms (and still slightly cheaper than Hotel Mulia!!) and the experience was great!

The staff are friendly and will guide you to the Club Floor to carry out your hotel check-in. We felt so pampered. hahaha.... Never experienced such treatment before. When we were taken to our Club Room, whoa! Nice. Won't lose out to Mulia man. The toilet is spacious and clean... I guess that's cos the Club Rooms were just renovated.

The only thing we can complain about is the breakfast. It was served at the Club House Level where the variety is more limited, though the privacy and view is exclusive. Hmmm... It depends on what you want then. View or variety in your breakfast menu.

If you`ve ever stayed in Crowne PLaza around Asia you know that these hotels are not that impressive from first sight. Exterior design is simple ans reserved but you have to enter...
Spotlessly clean rooms with spacious bethrooms inlaid with marble. Panoramic windows overlooking Jakarta`s busiest district. Excellent room service, even if you try you could not see them or know when they do your room. Mini bar is free-or-charge (surprise, surprise - I`ve never seen this bonus before). Swimming pool and spa center are fine too.
Breakfast is a fairy tale, Beranda restaurant is never overcrowded and waiters are always avaliable.
Visitors to Jakarta, I recommend this hotel to all of you!!!!!!!!
