Hotel 4-Star di Banten, Indonesia

“Good for a Transit Stay, but the AI-Driven Service Needs Work” I booked this hotel mainly because of the reviews mentioning the good food and free pick-up/drop-off shuttle service. Communicating with the hotel before check-in to arrange the shuttle was easy through the hotel’s WhatsApp number, which I found on Trip.com. Upon arrival, I noticed that the hotel seems to cater quite heavily to Chinese visitors. There was a line of Chinese guests checking in, and one of the front desk staff spoke Chinese fluently. Some of the notices around the hotel were also written in Chinese, presumably Mandarin. Check-in was smooth, and the front desk staff was nice and helpful. However, I was informed that I needed to install an app to use various hotel services during my stay, including the digital room key and room service. While this may be convenient for some guests, I personally found it a bit of a hassle at the time. The installation itself took some time, followed by an explanation of how to use the system. The food was average, with a reasonable selection of options. However, the refilling of some items was rather slow. For example, the milk for the coffee machine ran out and was not replenished promptly, and at times there was no cook available. The room itself was nice and spacious. One thing I particularly liked was the layout, with the washing area located near the entrance. The toilet unit also looked new. Unfortunately, the towels looked rather shabby and could use an upgrade. Complimentary bottled water was available upon request, which was a nice touch. One of the biggest downsides for me was the lack of a telephone in the room. All service requests have to be made through the app. I had to communicate with an AI chatbot, but the chatbot would often instruct me to go downstairs and confirm the request with the reception desk anyway. I found this rather confusing and wondered what the point of the AI system was if I still had to speak to a staff member in person. It seems the hotel is trying to adapt to AI and reduce the need for human staff, but the system does not seem to work effectively yet. In my experience, it actually added an extra step rather than making things easier. This was especially noticeable during check-out. There was only one front desk staff member, which was surprising. He was very patient and did his best to serve everyone, but the hotel really could have used more staff at that time. As a result, the line became quite long. Had I been informed during check-in that I could simply use the self-service machine to check out, I could have avoided the queue altogether. The location is in the CBC area, although finding the hotel felt a bit like navigating a labyrinth. It wasn't the easiest place to locate, especially for a first-time visitor. Overall, I would say you get what you pay for. For a one-night transit stay, the hotel was acceptable, especially with the free shuttle service and spacious room. However, the hotel could significantly improve its service by having more human staff available and making its AI-based system more practical and user-friendly.

Excellent value for money with great facilities and service I had a very pleasant stay at Swiss-Belhotel Airport Jakarta. The hotel offers excellent value for money and is conveniently located with many amenities nearby, including restaurants, shops, massage facilities, spas, hair salons and convenience stores. The breakfast buffet was very good, with a nice variety of local and international options. The food was fresh and the service team was attentive throughout. The staff were professional, friendly and always willing to help. A special mention to the housekeeping team for their attention to detail and the excellent cleanliness standards maintained during my stay. Other highlights included: ✅ Complimentary airport shuttle service ✅ Beautiful rooftop swimming pool ✅ Well-equipped gym with quality equipment ✅ Good massage and wellness facilities ✅ Comfortable rooms and reliable Wi-Fi Overall, a comfortable and enjoyable stay with great service and facilities. I would definitely stay here again when visiting Jakarta.

Had a cosy, quiet and enjoyable 5-night stay at Herloom's one-bedroom premier twin room. Experienced some problems with the balcony door and bad odour from below the kitchenette's sink, and the support came to rectify the issues promptly. Breakfast was fantastic. All the hospitality staff were courteous and, without fail, asked for feedback for improvement. Kudos to the customer service team! Special shout-out to Ranti, who greeted us every morning with her bright smile and was prompt to help with all the requests we had during breakfast. Great service with sunshine smiles even on rainy days! Will definitely recommend Herloom Hotel and Residence BSD to travellers for a comfortable stay at BSD.

I stayed in BSD, a bit far from central Jakarta. I had to leave Jakarta for work the next day, so I chose this place for its proximity to the airport and its convenience. Apparently, it was originally planned as a residential high-rise, and there are several other apartment-style hotels on top of the same shopping mall building. Since these hotels share some facilities, you should be aware of this when using the gym or pool.

The hotel is 20 minutes from the airport. Everything is new and super clean, and the bed is very, very comfortable and large. It has a minibar and a kettle. The staff are very friendly and always willing to help. The pool is wonderful and has a shower, as well as a gym. I will definitely be back.

The check-in process was slow. I arrived at 3 PM, and the room wasn't ready; I was asked to wait 30 minutes. After a long wait, I was given a room, but there were still guests in it. After complaining, customer service provided a replacement room. In the future, please improve the check-in service and ensure that keys are not given out for occupied rooms again. The swimming pool facilities are quite good.

The room was spacious, and we even got an upgrade. However, the facilities are a bit old and average. The location is excellent, especially if you're attending an exhibition, as the exhibition hall is right below the window, and it's less than a 5-minute walk from the hotel. The breakfast was mediocre, with limited choices. The croissants were baked very slowly, and there weren't enough, so they'd often run out as soon as a new batch came out. I stayed for several days and never managed to get one. There's a large shopping mall not far from the hotel, easily accessible by taxi.

I stayed here during a layover. The hotel was well-maintained and I slept comfortably. One thing that bothered me was that the queen-sized bed had a single-sized sheet placed horizontally, so my feet were directly on the mattress. It felt strange that they didn't use sheets that fit the bed size. The pickup from T2 at the airport was from 'E'. The free shuttle service to and from the airport was very helpful.

The room is spacious, and the bed is large and very comfortable. Its location directly on the second floor of the check-in hall makes it a top choice for early morning flights and layovers. Breakfast is also decent and filling, with drinks and fruits available.

The hotel is really nice, and the breakfast is abundant. The cleanliness is also top-notch. It was quite unlucky that the day my colleagues arrived for their business trip, a pipe burst at the hotel. They were temporarily moved to another hotel, which made for a very bad experience. The next night, when we stayed at this hotel again, it felt like we were back in paradise.
