Amaris Hotel Mangga Besar

The hotel is nice, comfortable and the plus is that you can enjoy durian cuisine in front of the hotel.

This is probably a relatively common fast hotel chain in Indonesia. It is an affordable choice in Jakarta, a city not known for tourism. However, in the actual accommodation experience, there are still many unsatisfactory aspects. First of all, in terms of location, it is next to the busy Mangga Besar Street and close to the main traffic road Hayam Wuruk/Gajah Mada. It is very convenient to take the express bus to various stations along the way. This area is also quite lively but a bit messy, and the sanitation of the streets is not very good. In terms of hotel hygiene, there are no major problems in the experience, but the sheets with holes are not good and the white putty walls are too dirty. There are big problems with the room facilities. Many budget hotels have not done the most important things well: the sound insulation of the outer window is too poor. Mangga Besar is still very lively at night, with a lot of traffic. As long as the noise is a little loud, you can hear it clearly in the room, which must have a great impact on people who sleep lightly; the amount of hot water is too small, and the temperature is not enough, it can only reach a state of warm water for washing; and many equipment in the room cannot be used normally, such as the phone is silent and you have to go downstairs to find the front desk, the password box is closed and the front desk said it cannot be used, the shower part in the bathroom has a hole in the wall but for some reason there is no shower curtain installed, and the dry and wet separation is useless. Of course, there are some good places in the hotel, such as the breakfast is quite good and has distinct local characteristics, the service staff are also very friendly and their English level is relatively good.
