Starlet Hotel Jakarta Airport

The distance to the airport wasn’t 5 minutes like it was mentioned in the Expedia apps, it was 10 minutes. Flooding in front of the hotel The color of the towels was too dark for white towels The pillows and pillow covers didn’t smell nice, maybe they haven’t been replaced with new ones so I can smell the sweat coming out of the pillows and covers. The Shuttle bus wasn’t free for online bookings, this was supposed to be informed beforehand. I’ll never go back there or will never book a 1 star hotels anymore.

If you are stranded in Jakarta at an odd time without any prior hotel reservations, you will be really lucky if you find a room in this hotel. It is about 12-15 minutes ride and quite clean. Members of the staff are very friendly and helpful. There is a coffee vending machine in the lobby. You can also buy a readymade to go meal and warm it up in the microwave, also on the lobby. There is a wte tumbler dispensing hot and cold drinking water on the floor. If you are a light sleeper, you should enquire if they have a quiet room. I could hear traffic even after midnight. They also offer airport pickup and drop service. But I have the Grab taxi app, so I didn't go for this choice.! There is an Alfamart and an ATM about 250 meter away from the hotel, which is very convenient.

It’s was good overall except the room did smell like tobacoo and it was giving me a headache

The location is close to the airport

Inexpensive option for an airport layover, but that is all. Rooms are tiny to the absurd. The hotel provides only one key that activates the lights/AC per room. Families are noisily banging on doors, or keeping them open. Prayers noisily wake up at 3:30 AM, join the prayers at 4:15 AM, come back laughing out loud, until sometime mid morning. Breakfast is a "Ready to Eat" frozen meal that you have to microwave yourself. Expedia customers have to pay 100.000 and 80.000 for the shuttle out and in of Soekarno. The surrounding area is noisy with traffic, no sidewalk, un-walkable unless you love to be spilled with mud. Staff are ok, but the management for whom they work do not make their jobs easier.
