Grand Kasira

The food was delicious, but it took a very long time. The room had a small kitchen that was useless. It's a convenient, good hotel, though the location is a bit far from the major road. The broken window worried me because someone could get in from outside.

The calm, green scenery from the rooftop gives the hotel a peaceful feel, even though you're still in Jakarta. It's a new hotel in south Jakarta, with affordable rooms and extras such as a kitchen.

The food is affordable, with reasonable prices compared to other hotels. In the superior room, there's a large bed made from two joined single beds, and a long mirror facing the bed if you like seeing yourself. There's also a kitchen area, but no stove. It does have a refrigerator and plenty of drawers for storage. The TV has cable channels, so you can watch movies with your loved one. The superior room is really big compared with the upgraded room type.

The room was good, but the hotel facilities were an issue. I went up to the rooftop for the New Year's Eve fireworks when it was new, but it felt like someone else had reserved the space, even though there wasn't a sign on it. It didn't seem like the rooftop was available to other guests.
