I must admit that i was shot down by the service they offered me during the stay, I have stayed twice, once i was offered a suite as the deluxe room was not available. The wooden furnitures and decorations you could see across the hotels would for certainly attract your attention. Breakfast was very much enjoyable you have wide variety to choose, 3 chef waiting for your order in Chinese, Thai and Indonesian food.Front Desk, Concierge, bell desk, every one exceeded my expectations. My rating scale was limited here by excellent in tripadvisor, would rate Dharmawangsa,one scale above that.

Dharmawangsa never fails me...It remains my favorite hotel for family trips as it gives you the feels of home. The pool makes you forget that you are in Jakarta....and the ambience is so stylishly Indonesian! The services are excellent, and the food at the Jakarta Restaurant is also good. You may want to ask the butler for scented candles if the bathroom gives you unpleasant smell and make sure you close the door to the balcony all the time; otherwise, you might be busy tapping the mozzies in the evening!

This hotel has an excellent reputation as a 5 Star Boutique hotel so my wife n I decided to treat ourselves to a date night. What a waste of money. The hotel appears not to have been renovated in 10 years. The beds were not comfortable. Pillows were not comfy n need upgrading. Bed does not have plush mattress topper. The tv was tiny n had to be viewed at an angle. The bath room had no sanitary hose or bidet ( which is a must in Indonesia ).

The buffet was over priced n limited selection ...although the food was tasty.

We expected a sleep n bathroom experience superior to our home but found it less enjoyable than some 3 star hotels we have tried in Indonesia.

Wonderful hotel, very nice ambiance and good value for the business traveller. If you want the big busy business hotel with pianos and jazz singers, don't go here. This is smaller and has a very old Javanese ambiance. A nice retreat after hours in the Jakarta traffic. The concierge service is very helpful too. The only negative was that there was some construction going on at a neighbouring building and it was quite noisy at least until midnight. It wasn't hotel construction, and knowing Jakarta, I'm pretty sure there wasn't anything the hotel could do about it.
