Old-Fashioned in a Good Way
Situated on Hayam Wuruk Street, Mercure Hotel Jakarta Kota boosts strategic location. Heritage-enthusiasts can explore to historical landmarks like National Monument (Monas) and Fatahilah museum. The hotel is also surrounded by culinary havens such as Mangga Besar street food and Pecenongan by only 10 minutes walking.
The front facade gives me a stuffy and old-fashioned impression; it looks like a plain white medium-tall building. But the lobby is not at all stuffy - relaxed and friendly - but is certainly old-fashioned. I suggest checking-in on time if you don't want to stand while waiting. There are only few seats in the lobby.
The old-fashioned atmosphere (or classic, I guess?) extends to the room design. No certain design flourishes here: no artwork, ornament, or decoration. The executive room, in restful shades of pale cream with greyish accents, is furnished with a mix of cinnamon-shades furniture and chairs.
Utilizing 56 M2 space, the room is unnecessarily spacious. It requires you to put more energy to grab remote TV, or just to go to bathroom. Definitely a no for a sluggish guest who prefer compact room. But if you seek for peacefulness, this room is appropriately fitting.
