Classic hotel first timer experience
I know there are a few reports but here is my take. Indonesia is not easy to get to, I had no affordable direct flights from my country, I flew via Arabia and paid from Europe around 1000 USD, and additionally a bit more for two weeks in a 4 Star hotel. I recommend using the 500 k online eVOA visa option, apart from an annoying credit card surcharge it works easily and saves you the hassle to change money at the airport or use the ATMs there. And most importantly you can use the automatic immigration gates. Do not forget the AllIndonesia ESTA online 72 hours before departure and keep the QR code you get on the phone, you need it at customs. I had a car free of charge with my hotel booking, there is a train to the city center for those with little luggage and sense for adventure. Jakarta is a mega city and location is key as transportation is suboptimal. Traffic jams, unreliable ride hailing apps and very few convenient public transport options make moving around a hassle, let alone walking, which is an adventure of its own in the heat, air pollution and blatant disregard for any traffic rules. I was surprised how much advanced Thailand is in that regard. Get your simpati tourist sim at the airport or in any GraPARI TELKOMSEL store. I paid 55 k for 5 gB which can be topped up everywhere in convenience stores etc as I was told. Registration is annoying but the staff was helpful. You will need your passport as you will for money exchanges (sometimes an earlier exchange proof is sufficient if you are a repeat customer though). There are different fun options, for me the best was Classic Hotel, wich is easy to find in Central Jakarta. Upon arrival via the train (Juanda / Sawah Besar station) or taxi take the nearest building entrance and on the right is T1 (opens 6 pm, closes 2 pm, later on weekends around 3 am or even 4 am). If you take the rolling stairs two times up you end up at T2, opening at 3 pm. If you want to go to T5 cross the hallway on every floor to the very end on the right side and take the lift to the 5th floor. T5 opens at 6 pm too. I was not let in before but at that time already around 50 ladies and no customers. At entrance you will get a wristband with a number. Entrance fee is 5 k paid at the end with all consumptions awarding you an exit boarding pass. All venues are similar with groups of girls sitting on sofa or a 3 stage display area. Bar tables and chairs in the middle of the room, some reserved. They have DJs and performance stages but they are used only sometimes. Each venue has at full capacity at least 100 girls (of which many are in the rooms, some changing or eating so if you want a specific girl ask mama). Mamas swarm you as soon as you enter, I would recommend to friendly decline and take a look around first. Then sit down near the group of girls you fancy. Mama will find you, no worries. Each sitting area has one or several mamas who will introduce her lineup asked or unasked. It is ok to politely decline. Girl will sit with you for a few minutes or more and you can decline after that. Girls will get hands on to convince you to take them. You can order drinks and snacks (a water or a coke is around 30 k, cigarettes 60 k) but you can also sit for an hour without ordering. If you decide on a girl mama will make you sign a piece of paper (the voucher at 365 k) entitling you to 45 minutes with 1 or 60 minutes with 2 girls. I know there is a discussion ongoing but this is how it was for me every time so far. You pay in principle before you leave but especially in T2 some mamas want the money first. No worries you will not get cheated. She will give the girl the paper and one condom per voucher or girl. Girl will lead you to a small room with a bed and a shower stall. The attendants will control the voucher, her name and your number. She will wash you thoroughly and then you two or three have fun until the call comes giving you about 5 minutes to shower and get dressed. Afterwards you bring her back and she will leave you to either pick the next one or pay and go home. The girls are not allowed their phones during working hours and many basically work for 8 to 12 hours, spend another 2 to 3 hours for work preparation and sleep the rest. So you can try to arrange outside meetings but it is not easy and requires real chemistry and must be lucrative for her. In addition to the mamas the girls may have kids, boyfriends and bosses whom they owe money and are not as free in their decision as we might think (anyone has info on this I would appreciate a pm). The 365 k is split as follows: 90 k for the room, 240 for the girl (she gets as far as I can tell about 40% of it, rest goes to mama) and the reminder is a service charge of sorts. So the girls will ask for tips, sometimes relative aggressive, which I can understand. Tipping the mama, security and cashiers is a waste in my opinion. But a good relationship with mama is important. The take out fee is seven vouchers but depends on the take out time. In theory that frees the girl for the night but I had mamas requesting proof the girls leave your hotel early morning, which I found very annoying. Hope that is helpful. Happy to get pms or general questions, all written is based on my personal experiences so others may have different views.
Grand Boutique Spa in Orchardz Hotel
The spa in Orchardz Hotel is called Grand Boutique Spa. The easy way to access it is to go through the main entrance of Orchardz Hotel. Walk through the gates from the main road, go up the big ramp until you reach the hotel entrance. As soon as you enter, go to your right and walk through the restaurant until you see elevators. Use the right hand side elevator, which is the only one that will take you to Grand Boutique Spa.
If you want a super discreet way to get there, once you walk through the gates from the main road, don't go up on the ramp but keep walking through the parking lot until you notice a door near the corner of the building. The door should be open. This is the basement floor. You can access the same lift from here, as soon as you go inside the door.
I think the Spa was on the 3rd floor. There is a reception where they give you a numbered bracelet which you need to open the locker with the same number. Lockers, changing room, toilets all in the same place, this is where you change into the provided bathing shorts. Chill in the hot pool, the cold one is very very cold. Sauna and steam room were not even remotely hot, maybe because I went there early?
After the bath a shower is mandatory, then changed into the robe provided in the pool area. I was ready for the "massage". From this area, I walked straight and then left into a large room with a second reception where a friendly lady showed me the spa menu. The prices were different from what had been reported here before.
The cheapest full service option cost 760 k and it was 90 minutes, including massage. I couldn't choose the girl (I went at opening time, maybe too early?) and got an okay-ish chubby girl. The reception lady asked for my number so maybe next time I can choose the girl via WA. The room was typical but had nicely positioned full-wall mirrors all around the bed. All places should be like this. I could see the girl from every angle from anywhere.
Massage was less than okay but better than the girl from Kimochi Mabes. Zero kissing. Sex was surprisingly better than I expected, despite her sizes which are not my preference. I felt like I was discovering something new.
I didn't tip for two reasons: I didn't have the wallet with me because I had left everything in the locker, and the girl didn't ask or hint at it at all. There is no tip in Kimochi Mabes (it's included) so I felt safe to assume that I didn't have to give a tip. I hope this wasn't a mistake.
I paid 760 k at the main reception (where the lifts are), so facilities are included.
I would give the whole experience a solid neutral. Not being able to choose the girl sucks, it's better to enquire via WA beforehand.
I would go back if they have a nice slim girl because I'm 100% done with this chubby trend that I have been experiencing, not to mention the lack of FK. Next Spa I want to try is Sugar, just to tick it off the bucket list but I expect a similar experience. So far nothing beats KI. I also like Classic but I have to learn to navigate it better, I always end up getting bamboozled by the mamasan.
Jakarta. Classic and Emporium
August 2025 Visit Report.
Have been a long time lurker on the forum, finally subscribed and wanting to give back, so finally was in Jakarta on business for a week and and have read classic and emporium mentioned multiple times had the opportunity to sample the places first hand.
Report 01:
Classic Report. Visited once during the entire visit.
As mentioned many times, its has about 3 floors, I visited the one on 5th Floor, the moment I entered the pushy mamasans kept at it, I managed to send a first 2 away, but had to eventually take a girl, this was not my choice but then once you are there, its always a pressure to choose, and I did not want to be rude, so selected the girl mami brought, had some beer and finally went to the room.
The girl was good looking, but a little to short for my taste, I'm 6.1, but she more than made up with her fiery attitude, we went at it in many positions and eventually ended up with CIM. No Cover, so in and out in about 30 minutes, tipped her 200 K for her efforts and cheerful attitude.
While the punt was good, the venue lacks overall, in terms of cleanliness, and the vibe of the place and pushy mamis don't really encourage you to return. Total damage about 800 K with 350 for the slip, 200 tip, and some money for beer. Overall at Cheap Punt, but not something I the return to again.
Report 2:
Emporium. Girl Named Nadia, set up through David.
This was by far the best punt for this trip (I have taken earlier trips when I was not a member) . David recommended me the girl based on my preferences, it was mid day, girl was about 5.7 + heels, hourglass figure, and see cups and I got an instant boner the moment I laid eyes on her, and off we went to the pool, she had by then changed into a golden bikini, and there was no one in the pool apart from us, we went there for a quite a bit, snogged, sucked her titties, while she hand her hands in my briefs, about 15 minutes in had to stop for the fear of releasing in the pool, continued to the room, where we went at it again, and to my surprise after a while, we went bareback, dint ask her for this, but wasn't really complaining. Finished on here juicy tits, tipped her 300 K, with the total coming to 2.1 Mil IDR. Best money spent so far.
Emporium is a much classier experience, you don't have pushy mamis, you can choose to take your time, the rooms are clean and well maintained and the girls are generally hotter and well dressed and as I was staying next door at the movenpick worked out really well for me.
I can share the digits of David for anyone interested, they also have a telegram group, where you see the daily selection and then book with David.
Thanks.
