So happy I got to have a staycation with my family. It's super kid-friendly; my kids loved it here. There were so many activities for them. The only downsides are that the amenities are a bit lacking, and the superior twin room has a view of a wall.

By booking our room through Trip.com, we were required to pay an entrance fee every time we entered the Ancol area, and we were not provided with any complimentary entry tickets throughout our stay.
Unfortunately, the room was also not as advertised. It was very basic, with most of the furniture and fittings appearing old and worn out. The bed made a very loud creaking sound, and the door was extremely difficult to open, requiring several attempts each time.
The towels provided were yellowish and worn out rather than clean and fluffy. Only two bath towels were provided, with no hand or face towels. The bedsheet was also stained.
In addition, the room was very cold, so we requested an additional blanket. We were informed that this would incur an additional charge per blanket, per night, which we found unreasonable given the condition of the room and the lack of basic amenities provided.
There were also many mosquitoes around the lobby and café areas, which made it uncomfortable to spend time in these common areas. The breakfast was also very mediocre, with limited options and quality that did not meet our expectations.
Overall, we were very disappointed with the stay, particularly as the actual condition of the room did not match what was advertised on Trip.com.
Response from Property: Dear Valued Guest,Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback regarding your recent stay with us. We sincerely apologize that several aspects of your experience did not meet your expectations.Regarding the entrance fee to the Ancol area, please allow us to clarify that the entrance fee is a policy and charge imposed by the Ancol management, and it applies to every entry into the area. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused during your stay. We also take note of your feedback regarding complimentary entrance tickets and will review how this information is communicated to our guests to ensure clearer expectations prior to arrival.We are also concerned to hear about the condition of your room, including the creaking bed, difficulty with the door, stained bedsheet, and the condition of the towels. This is certainly not the standard we aim to provide. Your comments have been shared with our Housekeeping and Engineering teams for immediate review and necessary corrective action.Regarding the additional blanket charge, we apologize if this was not clearly explained or if the arrangement caused further disappointment. We will review the communication and service handling in such situations to ensure our guests receive appropriate assistance.We also appreciate your feedback regarding mosquitoes in the lobby and café areas, as well as your comments on the breakfast selection and quality. These points have been highlighted to the respective teams for follow-up and improvement.Most importantly, we regret that the actual room experience did not meet your expectations based on the information presented on Trip.com. We are continuously working to ensure that our room descriptions, facilities, and actual guest experience are properly aligned.Thank you again for bringing these matters to our attention.

The location within Ancol is undeniably great, with so many cool spots for photos. The hotel is comfortable, and the breakfast has a wide variety of choices. I've been here many times, but I never get bored! 😄
Coincidentally, I visited during Jakarta's anniversary, which made it even more exciting. I'll definitely be back again! 😍
And it doesn't stop there... the huge swimming pool makes the kids happy! 🎉

The transportation to this hotel is incredibly inconvenient. It's located within a large park, but there's no partnership between the hotel and the park. This means every time you leave and return to the hotel, you have to buy a park ticket, regardless of the time, even if you're just coming back to sleep in the middle of the night. On some days, you might have to buy multiple tickets. I was traveling with my child, and if I went out for something and came back to pick them up for a meal, I'd have to buy another ticket. For two people, one entry cost over 70k. Calling a taxi is also a hassle, as drivers have to take a long detour to pick you up. What's absolutely unacceptable is that most of the park gates close very early in the evening, leaving only one specific entrance open. A five-minute taxi ride back at night turned into a nearly 30-minute detour just to get in. The experience was absolutely terrible. While the cleanliness seemed good on the surface, the bath towels had an odor. There was only one chair in the room and no sofa or anything. If two people are staying, one person will always have to be on the bed. I do not recommend staying here.

Hi Discovery. First of all, im grateful that you've upgraded my room to a connecting room since I reserved a different type of room. ketika saya bilang kamar satu lg minta didekatkan cuz im staying with my kids. You offered me a connecting room with an upgraded room without any charge. I'm so grateful thank you. And also, nice pool & playground.
However, I'm really sorry to say that I'm kinda disappointed staying at your place though, since it's a 4 star hotel. Handuk yang tidak lagi putih dan sudah agak bau, check in yang super lama, banyak sekali guests yg datang setelah saya masih belum dapat kamar hingga jam 5 sore. It was chaos.
Saya sengaja check in di jam 3 hoping the room is ready krn kami mau main sore kepantai. Unfortunately.. saya masih harus menunggu another 30 minutes cuz the room is being cleaned. Ketika di jam 3.30 kami menanyakan kembali kamar kami, ternyata baru satu kamar yg ready. Kamar satu lagi kami masih harus menunggu another half hour.
Yang paling mengecewakan adalah variety of your food breakfast. Not much of a choice. Roti pun tidak ada panggangannya dan hanya ada margarine, chocolate dan blueberry jam. Pastry dan doughnuts yg habis dan lama sekali di refill. Juga main course yang habis dan juga lamaaa sekali di isi ulang. Btw, kami di arahkan breakfast di lantai bawah, krn ruangan resto utama penuh. But I didn't expect the food to be so average for a 4 star hotel.
Please take care of your hotel cuz my kids loves your pool and playground. Looking forward till the renovations are done.

It was okay. Even though it didn't quite meet my expectations and the reviews, I found the food to be rather bland and the variety limited, which was a bit disappointing. The coffee was already brewed in a thermos, but they didn't provide sugar or creamer, so I had to ask for it.

Worst internet ever, don’t plan on being able to load simple videos, couldn’t play video games, had constant problems with the television, you have to pay to enter anchol every time you leave, the breakfast was not fresh unless you woke up at the opening time of the breakfast, the only real positive was friendly staff, and being able to go to places like the bird park without travelling, oh and you couldn’t buy a single drink of alcohol you have to buy a full bottle, one of the worst stays I’ve ever had just being completely transparent and honest.

The hotel has complete facilities and is suitable for a family staycation with small children, offering many amenities that provide comfort for kids. The food is quite good with a wide variety. One thing that needs improvement is room readiness at check-in. It took over an hour to check in because the room wasn't ready, even though the hotel's policy states check-in is at 3:00 PM, the room still wasn't prepared. We could only enter at 3:XX PM. This was the longest check-in process we've ever experienced, with no explanation given to us while we waited in line.
