Mercure Jakarta Batavia

This is a well-located hotel if you plan on staying in the older part of the city. Kota Tua is mainly of interest to tourist. Cafe Batavia and other landmarks are within walking distance. It is a large hotel with all the facilities you would expect from a mid-range chain hotel. Rooms are spacious, bathrooms clean. I liked the quality of the mattress and (strength of the ) walk-in shower.

Grand building next to a picturesque canal. Spacious room with a very large bed. My room faced the inner courtyard, so it was quiet. Nice spacious bathroom, hot shower with good shower pressure. Aircon was good, it had a mode which was not too noisy or aggressive. There is a small garden and a swimming pool on 2nd floor (but it may be a bit difficult to relax near the pool as you can hear traffic noise).

The location is great if you come to visit Kota Tua historical area. It is also a good choice for those who come for some events in Ancol (as I did) - the hotel is located in 7-10 minutes by a bike/car from there. Delicious and various breakfast (buffet) with egg and waffles/pancakes stations - very good option because there is almost no cafes around. The room was very clean, the bed and pillows were awesome!

We enjoyed everything! The staff was exceptional and the breakfast layout was amazing, fresh and hot! We enjoyed the spa and out room was spotless! We stayed in the King deluxe room with ground balcony. We enjoyed the half(roof over top) covered pool and the pool side bar and pizza

The location by the canal, and close to the historic centre, bars and restaurants was perfect for us. The breakfasts were excellent, with a wonderful range of types of cuisine. The garden area, over which our terrace/balcony looked was green cool and relaxing, but could get a bit noisy and smoky from the smokers, especially those from a wedding.
