Hopefully a lot sooner.

Interesting comment. I have not seen a previous mention of the MO being a hobby hotspot. What is special about Tuesdays? According to google, MO used to have a ladies night on both a Tuesday and...

I looked at this also, with the same result, so you are not missing anything. But there is a contact form http://maliohotel.com/contact-us/ so you could try that, and post the outcome on here.

Completely agree, in fact it would be virtually insane. I can endorse the train if surface transport must be used. CzarNicholas, just google 'train Jakarta to Bali' for further guidance.

Those streets are only 200 m apart as the crow flies. Jl Sosrowijayan is quieter and more conveniently located for Jl Malioboro, if that is a factor for you. Also, Jl Sosrowijayan is where many of...

Do you really need a money exchange? There are plenty of ATMs.

I doubt if you will be able to buy a SIM at midnight. I have arrived at CGK a couple of times about 10.30 pm at the gate, getting...

"John Traveller: Soon I will be returning to Jakarta, three years after my last visit. From this board I hear there are some changes. When did Top Gun close down, are the other bars at Blok M open...

Arrived back in Jakarta late on a Monday night. I would be flying out to Europe on the following day. Given the short time remaining in country, I wanted to avoid a so-so experience, and really...

After occupying the day with a mix of chilling out and sightseeing, I felt an increasing need to get back in the saddle. Back to Jl. Sosrow for something to eat and drink. Bumped into my would-be...

The (name redacted) hotel, my new home for the next few days, was only a simple 10 minutes walk from the railway station, but even with my smartphone I could not get oriented, and ended up taking a...

Arrived in Bandung after midnight. Taxi to the hotel. Stayed in a four-star place located fairly centrally. A short walk around yielded no nightlife places of interest in the immediate vicinity, so I...

Hi Smoothy,

Just wondering if your info on Golden Crown (location Glodok Plaza?) is current. A couple of recent (May / June 2018) posts on Jakarta100 bars indicates that GC has been mostly shut...

Follows on from post 13300 - A Visit to Blok M. And a Police Shakedown.

Into the room, shower, and into bed. My new friend's body was as slim and appealing as expected. However fatigue was...

A member asked me via PM to post a review of this hotel, so here goes. First of all, this is not a hotel which I would normally go for. It was seen as just a convenient place to stop over for a...

They talked to me through the window first, but when I said that I had forgotten my passport I they told me to get out of the taxi. Had I been carrying the necessary ID, possibly it would not have...

My second evening at the Orchardz Industri Hotel grew near, and I knew that it did not make sense to rely on another chance encounter at the karaoke bar. Earlier, I had taken a long walk, including...

My karaoke girl having departed, I showered and tidied up the room and my belongings. After a bit, I went down for breakfast, and who was there but my overnight guest. We smiled but sat at separate...

Selected this hotel in North Jakarta due to it's low cost, relative ease of access from the airport, and not least in-house spa with 'additional benefits'.

Arrived at Jakarta airport about 11 pm...

Or maybe a bit longer. From UK, 60-ish. Happy to buy a beer or two for any of the regular posters on this forum. Feel free to PM.

Top Gun was open about a week ago.

More detail to follow soon.

No way of knowing after the event. But doubtless one of her stablemates would be happy to oblige. Have fun!

I have used them a couple of times: one domestic flight from Manila. Late but otherwise OK. One international flight. OK. For a better view, see...

FL overnight typically MYR 500= US $125. Might get cheaper if you repeat.

Drinks, taxis, tips, meals MYR 300= US $ 75.

Hotel four star about US $ 75.

Total $275.

And that's before your...

In February, I spent 3 nights in KL. My original intention was to stay only 2 nights en route from the Philippines back to the UK, but due to a change of plans I had 1 day fewer in the Philippines...

I arrived at about 10.15 pm last night (Thur.).

Ratio M: F was about 3 to 1 adverse. And it got worse as time went on.

Quality dismal. Average must have been about 3 to 4.

I left empty...
