Hotel Nalendra Jakarta

At 500K Rupiah a night, this hotel needs to improve a lot. It’s a medium class place with a small lobby and steep stairs up to reception. The front desk is often unmanned, and there are no bellboys. The lift is tiny and shakes when it moves. My third-floor room faced only an ongoing building project, with no view, and smelled moldy and musty when I first opened it. There were only two power outlets, both awkwardly placed and neither beside the bed, so bringing an extension cable is a good idea. Breakfast options were limited, and the coffee was tasteless. This is Indonesia, with so many kinds of coffee, so that was really disappointing! One plus: standard rooms have a safety deposit box.
