Can you give some details about Kaha trying to cheat you?
[QUOTE=DG69] Ambhara is Ok, but regarding what you get in Bangkok for the equivalent of 670000 Rupiah the night not really worth it. Internet is LAN and not free of charge, like I have expected. I wasn't willing to pay the high internet rates and so, I had search today about 2 hours to find a internet cafe. They are very basic and difficult to find, since people do not know or give wrong direction. [/QUOTE]
Across the street, in the basement of Pasaraya Grande, there was an internetcafe and it might be still there.
[QUOTE=FoxesHunter]... because I like to pick up news. Is it forbidden?
You can't even imagine how silly you are. I always travel around the world and often I don't make any post because ... I have already explained it in a previous time. I can explain better by PM.
Oh how I wish Jackson would take measueres against mentally deficient like you![/QUOTE]
The only excuse I've read from you is that you like to monger alone. That's fine, but that doesn't mean that you might not be able to proof your visits. BTW, if you can find time to ask all those questions in all those threads, I think you will have time to post an FR with at least a couple of facts.
Proof me I'm wrong instead of calling me things.

I explain my problem again. I hope it desn't irritate you. ;)
I travel around the world very much for working. I know every country around the world.
In this forum you read my posts on every country because before my departing I always hope to get free time for mongering, this always is my desire but .... when my work comes to an end I often have to come back in rapid way without getting free time. But I have made some (few) posts about my experiences.
I don't know if you believe me so it my posts aren''t taken into consideration.

Since januari of this year you posted some kind of an FR about Lima in Peru of which I doubted the authenticity. Since I know the street you were referring to I challenged you to give some details to make sure you have been there. (After all you had 2 FR's in 2 years about the very same subject). You never reacted.
All other postings you did starting from januari 2010 untill the very recent one about a hotel with a back entrance in Jakarta were questions.
Menteng has contributed for many years to Jakarta and Medellin threads. He's taken people around to show them places, and been ever so helpful to those with real questions.
People who only take from the board, and never give back are called leaches. What use are you to other members?
There are many members who run large businesses, but still find the time to tell people their experiences. Downtime in airport lounges, airplanes and many other places make it easy to spend 5 or even 10 minutes to let other others learn from their mistakes, or choices they made while mongering.

Hey bro, we miss yu. Come back and visit soon. We're meeting up again mid Oct!
After many posts of useless arguments I will post here some hopefully usefull info.
I checked yesterday the Mercure Hotel near Hotel Travel. It was fully booked, at least they said so. Prices in the 900.000 Rupiah range for cheapest rooms. I didn't saw the rooms, so I can't say much about the Hotel.
Next Hotel I saw after a visit in Hotel Travel, was Prinsen Park Hotel.
I liked the Hotel. The rooms made a basic, but Ok impression. Price for the most expensiv room 250.000 Rupiah. I saw the second best room, for 210.000. No, safety box, no WiFi, but helpful and friendly staff. So, cheap and acceptable. Near to Hotel Travel, near to a shopping mall, with internet cafe.
Next Hotel was Classic Hotel. The room would costs 414.000 Rupiah. Better than Prinsen Park, also it has a caraoke club and similar to Hotel Travel a bordello. The prices for girls were 270.000 Rupiah per pop, including room and condom. I liked the place better than Hotel Travel, since it's not so dark and better possibilities to check the girls first. Also, they have some topless dancer. Ah, Internet only in Hotel Lobby.
Prinsen Park and Classic Hotel are both in North Central Jakarta. I like more the freelance scene in Block M area (south central) and therefore I check in, in the Griyadi Blue Pacific Hotel. Price here 390.000 Rupiah, including free Wifi, free breakfast, girlfriendly and very close to the bars in Block M (Topgun). Rooms are basic, but new and clean. Mnus, no safety box in room.
So why do you post this intel in the Jakarta thread? If I have a good mongering time in Germany, should I post it here in the Jakarta thread? Think about how hard it would be to RTFF if people posted intel from different countries in other countries' threads. The "ancestral customs" here in the Jakarta thread are to post Jakarta mongering intel here.
[QUOTE=FoxesHunter]I give you some news very interesting about my lastest trip in Peru. Ok. Qeros people is considered by many historians to be the last Inca Community. The ancestral customs and the names of the shamans (Paqos) have been preserved in the hierarchical structure that was attributed to Pachamama (The Mother Earth).
I made an intresting study about Qeros people. I traveled from Cuzco to Paucartambo by car (6-7 hours) then I have made an hard trekking for 7-8 days to reach their villages. My experience was wonderful. A Qero guy have kept company with me for all the trip and he asked me 5 soles only (1 US dollar) every day. If you or other guys like to know more about my trip, write me.
I hope my post help you![/QUOTE]
This is my last posting to and about Foxeshunter. His so-called FR's led me to think that they are quotations of other's as he never could proof the authenticity of his. Even when I challenge him. I leave it to the other members of ISG to draw their conclusions after reading his latest contribution. Again, it is not an answer to my questions nor does it proof anything. Any information about Q'eros can be obtained in the library.

When in October bro? I'm trying to be there 12th/13th onwards for about 3 nights... I'would dearly like to meet if possible. There will be a few of us there.
Incidentally since this is the hotel thread, I've noticed a few new business hotels with small clean rooms at very acceptable rates - but no fridge or coffee/tea making facilities (they say there's a cafe downstairs or a convenience store). I definitely need the fridge (I like my cold drinks readily available - especially after a strenuous round;)) so can anyone suggest somewhere which is respectable? Anything like Sparks/Classic is out of the question.

Hi,
I have submitted several reports about Ambhara hotel in the past it's a bit pricey but worth it. One reason would be the not needing a taxi and worrying about safety/cheating late at night. It's within walking distance of Blok M but the walk of shame is a bit longer.
As for Internet cafe go across the road and down into the bus terminal and in the lower level there is a half decent internet cafe.
As for Kaha cheating, I do argree with you as they have tried this with me many times, especially the girl at the Blok M office, the airport is also as bad, I do agree with you.
What I usually do is get an e-mail form them before I arrive and the only office that quotes the same rate as the e-mail is the Gambhir office.
Anyway just my point of view.
[QUOTE=DG69]So, I arrived yesterday and have some info to share. General info I will share in the Jakarta Thread.
I bought voucher for Ambhara at Airport. The Staff at Kaha wasn't helpful and tried to cheat. Luckily I had some info and was prepared. I took two night in Ambhara, since I had only limited info, it was late and I just want to have a base first. Ambhara is Ok, but regarding what you get in Bangkok for the equivalent of 670000 Rupiah the night not really worth it. Internet is LAN and not free of charge, like I have expected. I wasn't willing to pay the high internet rates and so, I had search today about 2 hours to find a internet cafe. They are very basic and difficult to find, since people do not know or give wrong direction. Good thing in Ambhara is the breakfast. It's really nice.
I saw yesterday the Blue Pacific Hotel very close to the small lane where Top Gun is situated. They charge 370000 Rupiah, internet is included and they said it's not a problem to bring girls into room. I wrote them an email with a reservation and asked for a confirmation. They did not confirm via email so I wasn't sure if they have rooms available. Funny, they had a room reserved for me. If they would have send confirmation, I would most likely now stay in Blue Pacific. Blue Pacific rooms are basic and no indoor safe available.
Classic Hotel sounds tempting, just have to find out were is it situated. I might rather go there, if is more or less central.[/QUOTE]

After a long exchange of Spam-Posts from Menteng and others the first post to topic. ;)
Well, I liked Ambhara, specially the breakfast is great, but the rooms have not the newest furniture and it's a bit aged. I stayed two days and had no major complains.
But, I would recommend Griyadi Blue Pacific instead Ambhara. It's only 390.000 instead of 670.000 (Ambhara). It has free Wifi, which works quite good. Also, the rooms are newer and the bed is very comfortable. Though breakfast is very basic, indonesian style. No, Safety Box and no frigde in the room. Rooms are small, but very clean and new. TV is a flat screen and the backwall of the Hotel touches the backwall of Top Gun Bar. So, it's very close to the action. Also, the staff is very helpful and not cheating.

Dg thanks for your your posts after arriving in Jakarta. Do not be hard on Menteng, he has good information and helps keep the Indonesian Forum clean of inane and lazy posts.
As far as in room security boxes go. Close to Blok M is the Amaris Hotel which I mentioned to you. It has in room "safes". The charge is around the same as Blue Pacific, but WiFi in the lobby. Around a 10 minute walk to the Blok but better not to do it at night.
How did you find the girls in Blok M ?
