Amazing
AAGuyfromKLI recently stayed at the newly opened Pan Pacific Hotel Jakarta, and I must say, the experience was a pleasant one overall. The hotel boasts stunning views of the city skyline, offering a perfect backdrop whether you're relaxing in your room or enjoying the shared spaces. The ambiance is elegant yet modern, making it a very nice place to stay, especially for those looking for a comfortable and stylish getaway in the heart of Jakarta.
The hotel’s location is also a major plus – strategically situated near various malls and points of interest, it’s perfect for travelers who love to explore the city’s shopping and entertainment offerings.
However, there’s room for improvement in terms of guest service and event management. During my stay, several areas of the hotel were inaccessible due to private events, which was a bit disappointing. The breakfast café was relocated to a different room to accommodate a private party, and unfortunately, some food items were unavailable due to the temporary setup. While I understand the need to host events, I do hope the hotel will consider better planning to ensure guests are not inconvenienced, especially when paying for a premium experience.
That said, I still had a great stay overall, and I believe the hotel has strong potential as it continues to fine-tune its operations. I would definitely recommend Pan Pacific Jakarta, especially for those looking for a new luxury hotel with incredible views and easy access to many of Jakarta’s top attractions.
KKaykaylalaWe took the family king room which is to accomodate 3 adults. Check in time was 3pm, we arrived at 3.45pm but was told the room was not ready. However the staff at the check in counter gave us a temporary room (king deluxe room)to rest while we wait for our room to be ready. At 5pm they call saying the room was ready and we will be transfered to the our room. After we moved, we went out for dinner. At 10pm we went back to our room and realized that the sofabed was not ready and no pillow or blanket for the third adult to sleep. I call the guest service, and they came to set up. But i dont know what happened, they said the sofabed was broken so it cannot be set up. They will bring in an extra bed instead. The extra bed made the room less space to move around. I booked the room with sofabed is because i prefer to close it in day time so i have much space to roam around the room. That night also, i called the engineering team to repair the shower head holder. Because it seems not to hold the shower head properly which makes it difficult to use. They came an fixed it. But the next day, it became broken loose again. I gave up and just let it be. I dont expect this kind of room facilities from grand hyatt a five star hotel in Jakarta. Please maintain your rooms better. The staffs are all very helpful and friendly. I appreciate and extremely happy for that.
DDmytro_wandererDella the reception desk was wonderful. Such a pleasant person for customer relations. She went an extra mile to assist me. The reception is on the first floor, not the ground level where you enter. The hotel is comfortable, offers sufficient breakfast. However, I recommend to purchase coffee separately for 25k. It is much better than the one included. The hotel has sauna, steambath, warm pool and a small gym on 3rd floor. The bed is comfortable, the towels are clean and new.
AArum Octaviani Hadi MulyonoIt’s worth it.
The room is clean and spacious which always be my first priority in choosing the hotel I want to stay.
There are various options of foods offered in the buffet. Staff are friendly and helpful.
The wifi connection is reliable (I did request upon my booking for a quiet room with a stable internet connection).
AAmielia PangHere’s a sample review for a 2-bedroom service apartment:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
**Excellent Stay at This 2-Bedroom Service Apartment
I recently stayed at this 2-bedroom service apartment and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The apartment was spacious, clean, and beautifully furnished, making it feel like a home away from home. The living area was cozy, and the bedrooms were comfortable with plenty of storage space.
The kitchen was fully equipped with modern appliances, which made cooking meals a breeze. I also appreciated the complimentary coffee and tea, which was a nice touch. The bathrooms were spotless and stocked with high-quality toiletries.
What truly stood out was the exceptional service from the staff. They were friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable.
I highly recommend this apartment for families, couples, or anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient stay. I will definitely be returning on my next trip!
AAnonymous UserThe front desk there has very good hospitality with warm greeting and smile. As well provide you and suggest you options and do not push you. Thumbs up for their front desk. we do not request for house keeping, and eventually they call and approach us to check if we need any amenities, which surprise us with their good service. The hotel has a layer of securities where they will check the car/taxi entering their premises, which make me feel safe. If you wish to buy some groceries , there are some mart out there which is walking distance, but pls do expect the road is not so proper to walk at the roadside as there are a lot of cars and motorcycles.. The room come with kitchen where we can do simple cooking (provided u have the groceries).. I will stay back the same hotel if I back to Jakarta again ..
SShah RomanoThis Hotel is excellent for its customer services, all relevant staff are quite helpful and well-mannered. Breakfast spread is superb and taste very good. Location is a definite advantage.
Regarding the room I occupied, being a 5-star rated hotel and carrying international brand, the room's condition could be upgraded as wear-and-tear of furnishings are clearly visible and looks bit outdated, particularly the TV and the chair. Do pay attention to the floor of bathroom which gets slippery when wet and most hotels nowadays do not use shower curtain anymore as water easily splashes onto the floor, and coming out from the bathtub poses real threat of slip to elderly and child. The room's air suction in bathroom did not function.
Although I gave 5 stars to location, cleanliness and services, I could only give overall 4 stars due to the room's condition where I occupied for 2 nights.
GGuest UserI had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and the overall environment was quiet, not too noisy, which made it very relaxing.
Here is a photo of the swimming pool. Unfortunately, I couldn’t access the rooftop pool, as I was informed that it is now a private pool. That was a bit disappointing, as I was really looking forward to enjoying the view from the rooftop. Overall, a very nice experience and I would still recommend this hotel for those looking for a peaceful and comfortable place to stay.
Ssamuel eelAmazing location. Only down side might be a misleading entrance when the main gate closes at night. Else the rest is good.
Breakfast is good, room is amazing, service is quite on point too very professional and friendly.
Will surely come again if I am here to enjoy Jakarta city.
MMarty EdwinI loved staying at this hotel. The room was big, very comfortable with a nice view of the city. The staff were all friendly and helpful. It has a great coffee shop downstairs and the breakfasts and lunches which I paid for a few days were great. Nice setting around the pool to eat. There are some nice markets and local food places close by to walk. You can walk to a big park nearby that is nice to get away from the craziness of the city traffic. The city monument and large Mosque are withing walking distance. The area around the hotel is not as busy as the main roads or other traffic areas. Its a bit like a little gated area. Overall a grea stay and would definitely go back to stay there next time in Jakarta.
