I’ve stayed at many 5-star hotels in Indonesia and even lived at Southeast Asia’s first 5-star hotel for three years. However, The Dharmawangsa Hotel has unlocked a core memory for me.
The hotel’s timeless elegance and ‘rustic luxury’ left a lasting impression. The staff’s hospitality made my stay unforgettable even from our first 10 minutes since our arrival; Pak Hamdan gifted my toddler a doll named Jali; Mas Basly and Mas Irwan assisted with a smooth check-in/out also being helpful with my unplanned extended stay.
A bittersweet surprise was discovering just how kid-friendly all the staff at The Dharmawangsa Hotel are. My daughter felt so comfortable chatting with every staff member, who not only initiated conversations but also knew exactly when to end them gracefully.
Special thanks to Mas Riyan, Mba Sandra, Bpk. Ahmadi, Bpk. David, and Bpk. Edi for their attentive breakfast service, and to Mas Johan, who kept my daughter entertained at the pool. Notably, Mba Diah who helped organize a delightful “poolside painting” activity for my daughter, while I enjoyed a relaxing massage with Mba Diani. Also, I thank to others—which I can’t mention them all individually—who attentively assisted with my family’s requests.
Despite staying for two nights, I didn’t get to try all the facilities the hotel offers. My daughter and I spent most of our time at the comfortable swimming pool, which led me to upgrade my extended stay to a Senior Executive Room with a pool view. The peaceful and comfortable ambiance of the hotel, far removed from the hustle and bustle of Jakarta (despite its central location), made me feel incredibly at ease during our stay.
This was my first visit, and I couldn’t have been more satisfied. Thank you for re-energizing my family with such a warm and unforgettable experience. Highly recommended, especially for newcomers from outside Jakarta!
