ARTOTEL Thamrin Jakarta is a compact, art-led hotel in Central Jakarta, on Jalan Sunda just off the Thamrin corridor. Its address is its strength. Sarinah Mall is about a three-minute walk, Plaza Indonesia and the Bundaran HI roundabout around eleven minutes on foot, and Bundaran HI MRT station about the same, which puts the modern centre within easy reach without paying Thamrin-frontage prices. The hotel has 107 rooms with premium bedding, rainfall showers, a kettle and coffee maker, and free Wi-Fi, plus two on-site restaurants, BART Thamrin and Double Chin, and a bar and lounge. It is aimed at design-minded couples, solo travellers and business visitors who want a central, characterful base and do not need a pool or a gym.
Location and getting around
The Gondangdia and Dukuh Atas rail and MRT stations are within a fifteen to twenty minute walk, and the Bundaran HI station is closer. From here you can reach Istiqlal, the cathedral and the National Museum in a short ride north, and the Jaksa Street backpacker and cafe area is within ten minutes on foot.
The airport is about fifty minutes by car, longer at rush hour. Free self parking and free valet parking are available on site, which is unusual in the centre, and an area shuttle is offered for a surcharge.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms are compact but well finished, with a desk, safe, 32-inch TV and bidet, and connecting rooms are available for families. There is 24-hour room service and a 24-hour front desk, with luggage storage and laundry services. A daily breakfast buffet runs from 6:00 to 10:00 for a fee, so compare rates with and without breakfast. There is no pool or gym on site, so if you need either, pick the Grand Hyatt or the Ashley Tugu Tani.
Good to know
Check-in starts at 2 pm and check-out is at noon, and the minimum check-in age is 18. The hotel has an elevator and is wheelchair accessible with possible limitations. Because rooms are compact, it suits stays of a few nights rather than long ones. The streets around the hotel are busy by day and calm at night. For a first visit it is a smart middle choice, with a central location, a design character and a price well below the five-star towers.
