Jakarta Hotel Experience: A Blend of Ancient History and Modern Comfort at Batavia Hotel Jl. Kali Besar B

Jakarta Hotel Experience: A Blend of Ancient History and Modern Comfort 🏨🔍Batavia Hotel 📍🏙️Jl. Kali Besar Barat No 44 - 46 Roa Malaka, Tambora, Jakarta The hotel is located in a historically rich area in North Jakarta, quite convenient from the airport. It's said that such old-town neighborhoods are rare in the city center. Plus, there are plenty of historical attractions nearby, making it a great choice if you're into that. 🗺️👣Though the surrounding traffic can be congested, stepping out of the hotel allows for quick exploration. Jakarta Old Town is within walking distance, offering a mix of historic Dutch colonial architecture and lively commercial streets—full of character. The hotel itself maintains a colonial Dutch style, exuding vintage elegance at first glance. However, the service at check-in was a bit of a letdown, with a long wait distracting from the experience. The rooms are spacious and well-laid-out, though some areas feel dated and in need of upgrades—like the weak water flow in the shower, which was a minor hassle. 🛌🛁The room experience was somewhat disappointing. The deluxe room, while large, wasn’t cleaned thoroughly, and the bathroom issues added to the discomfort. The bed was big with medium firmness, but a faint odor and poor soundproofing were slight nuisances. The locked minibar might be a pro or con depending on your perspective, but the overall outdated decor and fixtures clearly need refreshing. 🌆🏙️Near the hotel, Jakarta Old Town and Fatahillah Square are must-visits, steeped in Indonesian culture. Attractions like the Bank Indonesia Museum and Istiqlal Mosque won’t disappoint either. For food, Café Batavia and Rumah Makan Medan Baru are top picks, serving excellent local cuisine. In summary, this place radiates a clash of history and modernity. If you prioritize cultural exploration and affordability over luxury accommodations, it could still be a solid choice. 🧳🌎

Sambal Bakar Indonesia, Grogol

🇮🇩Sambal Bakar Indonesia, Grogol 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: The employees here are all young people, and you can see that both men and women are dedicated to their work. The dishes in the store are well-known to everyone in Indonesia. The store is divided into indoor and outdoor areas, and there is air conditioning indoors. The main feature is that it is baked on order and pays attention to hygiene, because after all, if you want a large portion, it is usually in the night market, but you have to make some compromises in terms of hygiene. 💞Recommendation reason: While waiting for the meal, you can see that every stove outside is fully fired, which is very fireworks. The employees are very kind and quite shy! 💰Per capita consumption: 30,000-65,000 Indonesian rupiah. About 50-120 Taiwan dollars 🗓️Itinerary arrangement: If you live in the administrative district or the old city, you don’t have to come here specially. Address: Jl. Dr. Susilo Raya No.10, RT.1/RW.3, Grogol, Kec. Grogol petamburan, Kota Jakarta Barat, Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta 11450 Indonesia 🕰️Business hours: 10:00-23:30
