Hotel Kristal

Guests who stayed here loved

“The Hotel Kristal is still one of my favorite places to stay. I've been traveling to Indonesia for work for over 20 years. For all my Jakarta trips, I stay at the Kristal. In the past it has been a bit of an icon for the expat community (Satu Lagi bar, close to JIS, etc). But overall there is a very relaxed vibe, good food, terrific staff, and excellent guest care that has made the hotel 'my home away from home' for all these years. The hotel is in need of a refresher, but it remains a very clean and good value hotel - for short or long stay; 3.5/5 Stars. It is in S.Jakarta but close to two MRT stations - so easy access to SCBD etc....and you avoid the dreaded traffic 'macet' of getting into central Jakarta. But where the hotel scores 5/5, is it's staff - always welcoming, friendly and helpful. Special mention to some staff for being so kind and attentive over many years: the ladies in the Deli Cafe (Rini, Elsa, Kiki and Tri), front desk (Dwi and Bella), and front lobby (Indra, Taufik & Yusuf). So, if you want a very good stay in Jakarta at a local hotel - give the Kristal a try.”
