Been to Jakarta a few times for work, and Holiday Inn Express Wahid Hasyim has been my go-to spot when I need something quick, clean, and well-located.
The hotel isn’t trying to be flashy, but that’s what I like about it — it’s practical. You check in, get your room, and settle in fast. No fuss. The staff are friendly and helpful, and that helps a lot, especially bila sampai penat after meetings or flight delay.
Location wise, memang best. Right in the middle of town — jalan kaki je to Sarinah, Grand Indonesia, cafes, even MRT. Kalau you’re the type who wants to mix business and chill time, this area really works.
Room dia compact but well-thought-out. Bed comfortable, shower okay, Wi-Fi stable — all the basics covered. And I appreciate the Express Breakfast — nothing over the top, but ada nasi goreng, eggs, kopi… cukup to start the day.
Overall, for a short business trip or even a quick staycation, this hotel delivers. No drama, no nonsense. Just a solid, reliable place that does what it promises.
