Jakarta's Hotels (02)
Four Star Hotels
So, here we are, another session of Jakarta’s hotels. Judging by the stars amount, these four stars hotels should give a better qualities than those “usual” three stars hotel, right?
I figure in daily lives, those four stars hotels can walk right infront of the three-stars and say, “Pshh, three stars? What could they do to live these days?”. Such arrogance.. But indeed, there must be some qualities that put an extra star in these hotels rank. It’s not my job to judge. It’s yours! Unless you‘re gonna pay me to taste every three to five stars and you’ll wait for me to post the review on this blog.
Anyway, to put some conclusion, you might wanna try and find out what other people’s thought about four stars hotels in Jakarta. I’ve been this long in Jakarta, and I never place my head upon one of their beds. Sorry I can’t give you more reviews, but at least, here’s the list of four stars hotels in Jakarta

Jakarta's Hotels (01)
I know you'll need to choose a place to stay as soon as you breathe Jakarta's air. So I'm sorry, it took me a while to develop these lists of hotels around Jakarta. Not because there are too many hotels to write down, but because I’m a little bit busy and a lot bit lazy. ;p Anyway, here are some hotels you might wanna consider staying in for a while, along your visit to Jakarta. I’ve divided it into three sections, three stars, four stars, and five stars.
I never understand why they use stars to show qualities. I mean, who has the idea? Who has the authorities to judge upon one hotel and others? What exactly differs a three stars, and a five stars? Well, they must have some technical answer to those questions, but I’m not. So please don’t ask me or I’ll look even dumber than I already am.

Huh? Where are the hotels in east and north Jakarta? Well, apparently, according to my resource, there are not so many three stars hotel around those areas. But if you are going to be in those areas, you can always ask me about where to stay. You can also look up in google to search any hotels.
How’s the three stars hotel’s quality? It’s pretty nice and clean. The food are decent also. You don;t have to be afraid of any “horror” experience cause you’ll never get it here. Unless you are unlucky, of course. Under any normal circumstances, you can stay in those hotels because of their economical values. Next : We’ll talk four stars hotels in Jakarta.

First Stop : The Airport
You know the old phrase they used to say, "Don't judge a book by its cover". Well I, for once would like to say "Don't judge a city by its airport!" Trust me, I'm not saying this because of some cases when a tourist run back towards his/her homelands as soon as they arrived in our beloved Soekarno - Hatta international airports.
Well, actually the airport itself isn't that bad (or is it?). Of course it wasn't the best airport in the world, but there are some "qualities" that made this place quite nice for some (very few) people. Let me tell you these :
1. Once you've arrived, you won't get a hi-tech, clean feelings that most of other countries' airport. Instead, you'll get the old, historical feelings as if you just entered an ancient era to start your adventure. It's unique, well not in a very cool kind of way of course, but trust me, you won't get those feeling anywhere else in the world. (I might exagerate things a little bit, since I haven't been able to go further than Malaysia myself :p )
2. After checking with the immigration, you can walk around a little bit before going through the exit and once again feels the hospitality atmosphere of Indonesia. Enjoy it, because another area outside those exit doors is entirely not in the same mood. It's not frightening, just different. This is truly a moment for those who love surprise. Once you step outside, you'll ask yourself, "Am I still in the same city?". Here it is. Welcome to Jakarta, Indonesia.
3. The airport outdoor is a hot, humid, and crowded place. You'll see a lot of restaurant, some of it you may know, so eat there! I'm not reccomending you anything other than what you've used to eat. Indonesian food can be harsh to some who aren't prepared. But again, there's always time for a little try outs. Some taxi driver will approach you to use their services. Be nice and politely reject them. Not far from there, you'll find the real taxi services. You can go in either one of them, the fare actually same. Now you are ready to reach you next destination, the hotel.
And I guess there really aren't much to tell more about the airport. Except one day you'll return to this place, and ready to go to your homeland just to tell them how much you love living in Jakarta.
Find out more reasons, if you decided to stay...
Have a nice day.
