The area around the hotel is not very inviting an very hectic, this is largely due to it being so different to my home country, the hotel is set far back from the busy road and once you are in the hotel you forget about the outside world.
This is the strange part, I have stayed at Bumi several times now and each time I find new facilities with the usual hotel features restaurant, coffee shop, store etc but you will also find a childrens pool, playarea, paintball, adventure sports, golf driving range, film studio, sound studio, games room!!! I'm sure I have forgot something... it has never really been busy which is the strange part especially when everywhere in jakarta with an open space seems to be full of people. The price too is excellent considering what is available. The restaurant has never been busy the times I have visited. The rooms have been very good, some cosmetic and wear but generally good and the rooms are cleaned daily. The showers are always powerful and a good supply of hot water.
Staff are excellent and very polite.
If you are visiting Jakarta I would recommend staying here for half the price of the cheapest chain hotel... even though it is a little further than most would travel from the airport I think the facilities and relaxed atmosphere make up for that and I think a taxi to the center is about £30 so not breaking the bank.
Oh yeah it has a basic gym which also has classes in aerobic etc - I forgot that one ;)
