Mecure free Wi-fi and more
[quote=noman2]do they have a free internet connection?[/quote]
they do have free wi-fi, but you need to go to the lobby area or the 1st level restaurant to use it. i also got the fastest speeds i've had in jakarta. don't hide in the bar on the lobby level though, no or terrible reception underneath the ledge.
there is the in room broadband connection, but it isn't really cheap, and when i asked for a voucher, i was given the hint about the lobby. great hotel service :).
i did enjoy this hotel. good rooms (apart from the need for some amateur plumbing work to be able to take a shower). decent rates - cheaper than the normal favourite (atlet) which has increased rates markedly lately. a pain to get to from the airport, but a good run back. if you have a desire for getting to senayan, go semi native and get the busway right outside the front door. otherwise, use the bluebird 24/7 taxi rank/gathering point *at* the front door.
made life nicer this trip, as i just had to walk up the road from the last stop of the night (stadium) rather than try staying awake on the busway or taxi all the way back to the other end of town.
Bad service at Olympic Hotel
I just left Jarkata after a one week stay, first 2 night stay at the Olympic Hotel near Lospasiri Plaza around the corner from TC 2700 is the rate for a business room, they didn't make up my room when I return around 7. Pm both night and miss my wake up call at 5. Am, so I check out and move to spark hotel across the st for the next 4 night, this is a much better hotel and service a much better good location near Hotel Travel and Karitka, I was at hotel travel the last 4 night and it was pack every night with over 100 girl in this place cost is only 285,000 for dlx room and 325, 000 for vip room for one hr, girl here is not as pushy for tip like the girl at Karitka girl there want 100,000 tip in top of the 300,000 rp, I think for vaule and quality hotel travel is the best place in Jarkata for me so far, I like to stay a few more day but I have to go back to China for more buisness and mongering.
