HomieStay - Hostel

The space is clean and has a nice ambience. There’s plenty to do, with a TV, board games, and broadband internet, and the staff are welcoming and helpful. Access and office towers are growing a lot now.

The place was quiet, though it felt a little short on atmosphere. Being in PIK makes it close to the airport but a bit far from the center and old town. The double bed pods are ideal, with power plugs, and the aircon worked well. It was very clean, and breakfast had several spreads, cheese, or even noodles. You can also get noodles and a drink cheaply if you want more. Towels cost extra, but the place itself is cheap. I can imagine a full room with the curtains closed getting a bit warm, and there probably wouldn’t be enough water for everyone. I was torn between 4 and 5 stars.

We rented the whole house for hitc jakarta because it’s VERY close to PIK2. The directions can be tricky: leaves partly cover the bukit golf sign at the entrance, and drivers may turn into the front street by mistake. Tell them to keep going UNTIL YOU SEE the bukit golf mediteranea sign, then turn to find the house. There’s a laundry shop right downstairs, and the house has the basics: a water dispenser, towels, hair dryer, coffee and tea, and some toiletries. My only complaint is the air conditioner in D room wasn’t cooling AT ALL. We were exhausted after the festival and could sleep, but from 9AM onward it gets VERY hot and humid. Luckily the living room a/c works well, so we mostly hung out there.

The staff were friendly and helpful, and they speak English. The room was clean, with a simple breakfast and coffee available. If you need a simple stay near the location, this could be a good choice.
