CONCLUSION

We stayed here for 2 nights during our visit to Jakarta and thought that the hotel was a really nice hotel. There are 4 Hilton hotels in Jakarta now and this is the only one which has an Executive Lounge. The rooms are nice and the amenities are also impressive: a big outdoor lagoon-style pool, a 2-floor fitness center, kid's club, a business center and there's also an ATM located in the ground floor beside the coffee shop. The location is not that central but you can take a Grab easily to visit the National Monument, Istiqlal Mosque, etc. Overall,a  very nice hotel with friendly staff 👍
