My stay at Novotel Jakarta Gajah Mada was a mix of pleasant and disappointing experiences. While the location was great in the heart of Jakarta's bustling Chinatown and the staff were friendly and helpful, the service left much to be desired. I encountered issues with the lounge access, which allowed only two drinks-a policy I found quite restrictive compared to my experiences at other Novotel properties. Overall, I appreciated the hospitality, but I felt the management could improve on several fronts. 😔
