Thanks KL Guy bro...

Other option if the other two star hotel is full booked, Hotel Surya is located in Jl. Batutulis Raya (if I am not mistaken) - West JKT...heading to Pecenongan area.
the landmark is Dunkin Donuts in Hayam Wuruk raya and turn left...follow this street and in the left side.
Rate around 250,000 rupiahs for STD room.

Hi,
Does anyone have the contact information website or phone number for KAHA ( the reservation desk) at the airport.

Thanks.

Need to find a good place for a "Soapy Massage" in Central Jakarta. Also after massage FS.. Anybody have experience on "soapy massage" ?[/QUOTE]
This question is asked fairly regularly, and the answer is always the same: Kartika Massage Spa on Jalan Hayam Wuruk, in the first alley just south of the intersection of Jalan Mangga Besar. The menu here is (virtually) always a soapy massage followed by BJ and FS; ALL of the ladies who work here do it, and a 2-girl session here can be a great experience.

Another option is the Berlian Massage Spa, right next door to Kartika; however you have to ask for the soapy massage ahead of time (before you go upstairs) to make sure that the girl can do the soapy massage, as not all of the girls who work here do it. Ask for Ina if you do come here.

Only problem is that both of these places are closed until early October (Oct. 6th?) because of the fasting month of Ramadan and the Eid holiday.

Oasis is much nicer than Berlian and Kartika in terms of the rooms. Similar services and women available. Oasis is just across the street from the entrance to the Lokasari Mall. Recommended.

Hello people,

I am really interested in the kartika place you guys have been talking about, unfortunately am here in jakarta only for a day and I was really looking forward to the soapy + 2grls package. Since kartika is closed do you guys know anywhere else here which can give me if not the same, at least very close to the same experience?

Any help would be greatly appreciated: D

To all newbie...

* Please post in appropriate thread (general info thread), this thread is to discuss hotel in JKT.
Interested in PP Kartika ? fortunately one of our respected senior member (Mighty Spearsman bro) is regular customer there...brows his posts !.
** Other possibilities to have soapy massage during ramadan month ? no I think.

Any senior residents know what Kaha are currently charging per night for the Novotel Mangga Dua?

The cheapest i can find online is about $55

Thanks

looking for a decent jakarta hotel near hot-spots (gf action zones) with (true) "high" speed internet connection for 5-6 nights. my personal experience in latin and south america, tells me that the expensive (4-5 star) hotels would have better/faster internet connection. unless someone knows (for sure) of a medium class (3-4 star) hotel with good high speed internet connection.

1. based upon your reviews/postings, could the following (4-5 star) hotels would match this profile (any addition or deletion?)?

atlet century (near plaza senayan, not far from cj's)
mulia (home of cj's bar/disco) = usd $133 for single, $148 for double
meridien (home of tiga puluh bar/disco) = usd $87 for single, $98 for double
marriott (nice hotel) = usd $144 for single, $156 for double
shangri-la (home of bats) = usd $168
ritz (home of mistere)
crown plaza (retro)
sultan hotel (old hilton hotel, very low price for a nice hotel)
grand hyatt
hotel sari pan pacific
hotel borobudur

2. assuming all of the above have great internet connection, which ones are in the better locations (close proximity of the pick_up_malls, ladies action, mps, night clubs, etc.)? (per forum, the in-house mps of these hotels could be quite expensive :)

3. how do you get the best price to these hotels? noticed people recommending bobobobo.com, hotelclub.net, kaha/indotel@airport, hrs.com, asiarooms.com, etc. any other site or travel agent? i am usa citizen but noticed on some postings that you get better pricing, if you are kitas holder or local resident book for you. what is kita? how do you get that?

since you have obviously read the board and done your research, i'll try to help.

a "kitas" is essentially a residence permit for an expat who is a long-term resident of indonesia. i have one, so do many of the other posters here. however, there are also many other senior members who post regularly here who are not kitas holders, they just visit jakarta a lot :)

i assume that you just want to visit indonesia and that you do not wish to become a long-term resident here, so you would not be able to obtain a kitas. luckily, with a us passport, you can easily get a visa upon arrival at the airport in jakarta.

virtually all of the hotels on your list offer high-speed internet connections, so that should not be a problem.

location? esteemed senior member bulai69 has warned against the sultan hotel as not having the best location, difficult to get taxis. the marriott hotel and the ritz-carlton (both in kuningan) are very nice but are in an awkward place for most mongering.

most of the other hotels on your list are probably ok location-wise, except the hotel borobodur is not that well-located - close to atrium mall but otherwise is not in the best location.

bulai69 swears by the le meridien and so would i, as it is easily accessible to all of the places you're interested in: the 3 main hotel night clubs, the blok m scene, mall-hunting, even the kota massage places.

look forward to a post of your experiences here.

Regarding the Hotels, I have used the Atlet Century Park a few times when I have been changing house etc and needed a place. Good sized rooms, casual reception area, good price, last time was 40.00 USD and even though I am a KITAS holder I got the best price online via WOTIF.com. CLose to Blok M but also right in front of Red Square ( watch out for spiked drinks ) and Plaza Senayan should you seek something a bit different or a Mall troll.
You will probably get your best rice for anywhere at the Kaha desk in the arrival hall however.
Good Luck.

Getting Meridien for $100+tax (incl. internet and breakfast). Being non-kitas guy, can i find better price than that?

Mulia is USD$ 123+tax (with breakfast and internet). Does Mulia has significant location advantage to justify additional $23 :)
