I really like the design of the room Furthermore booking from Agoda, we are getting the corner biggest room and the wifi speed is something out of my expectations.. I even watch streaming kdramas there without any lagging and even wth my home high speed 5mbps UNIFI line sometime lagging.

This is the room the gave us

Hmnnn din know smart deteriorate badly fsince my last stay there in 2011 .. That time, It's really a value for money for a RM110/nite for this suppose to be Budget hotel but was given the most spacious room (but wth small batroom)...& speedy WIFI ...Now no idea

SmArt hotel for sure value for money.anyway it's your call

Common 2 pin plug. If 3 pin, u need an adaptor

Got google map mah.. u can google Anyway. YES. & just South of the airport

Jakarta is not really a tourist city and it's not easy to find one location with all the souvenirs stalls like central market & etc.. The best in Jakarta is those malls and if lucky finding one wth souvenir shop.. One of the biggest is that... buiding wth Manchester United Club in Jl Tamrin (I forgotten the name dy.. but it's the oldest shopping mall in Jakarta if I;m not mistaken.. just opposite FX ctr and not far from Plaza Indonesia.

Aha- Sarimah mall..the one wth Manchester United big logo in front haha.. the top floor is souvenir floor

Yes -agreed that Prambanan is the Jewel that yet to be really appreciated. The size of it can be almost as big as Angkor Wat (Well, abit small lah) and hhe design also almost similar to Angkorian

We will expect the same look as our Lembah bujang if still having the buildings intact but too bad all gone except the base.. worse, Our Museum moved all the candis in Lemabh bujang to one location

In Bandung - Goto the volcano - Tangkuban prahu and Factory outlets sales (But not cheap anymore - Might as well buy in M'sia haha) - Yes 2D-!N just nice in Bandung..not forgetting the jam in Bandung can be as bad or worse than Jakarta!

There is another dedicated thread just about bandung here

Expensive-lah. You can book the whole Avanva at Bandung railway station at ~400-450K rupiah.. That's ~RM150 for the whole car/day.


You can goto Bandung either via express buses or railway. Easiest & reliable for sure via buses. Last time, I directly buy the bus ticket outside Jakarta airport upon arrival & direct to bandung. If train, just goto Gambir train stn (The largest stn in Jakarta) and buy ticket to Bandung

I already suggested. take those drivers inside the railway stn (Taxi). otherwise, google further.. "wth keyword "mobil sewa bandung" I actually wanted to take train from Bandung back to Jakarta but duruing that time, the schedule was delayed due to flood & landslide. So have to retuirn the ticket to the railway office and took the same taxi consortium by sharing wth few more passengers to Jakarta.

Try taking express buses rather than train if you do not want to have the same experience as me.. i.e got delayed, postponed or even cancelled

You mean you want to drive yourselves? Well, not easy but possible- No need int driving license in Indonesia, I did it in Bali. But for bandung, They dun really having self drive car for rental 9Well as far as i know) All the car rental require you rent the car wth the driver i.e RM150/day is inclusive of driver-lah.. You only need to pay the driver for his lunch. Express bus for sure 1 way. I can't remember how much dy but should be ~75K rupiah/way/pax direct from Airpprt to Bandung terminal of the bus company (mine was just in front of Giant hyper- bandung)

Easier, 1st day, straight take the express bus from the airport to Bandung.. there are few express buses operating from the airport.

Do you know how far Surabaya from Jakarta or even bandung .. With the condition of rural roads in Indonesia, you probably expecting atleast 12 hrs from Jakarta or 10 hrs by bus from bandung to Suranbaya

Reschedule-lah.. Goto Bandung 1st & thereafter the remaining days in Jakarta. Otherwise if you going to bandubg on 2nd day you need to google for the bus terminal going to Bandung for sure.. I'm not sure how also

As I mentiobed earlier, I hv the experience of returning the ticket due to lanslide & flood. and the train having rigid schedule - I bought the ticket a day b4 and yet still hv to be cancelled.. ended up hv to take expensive taxi sharing wth others to Jakarta. I only took the airport express from the airport to Bandung, no idea where is the terminal in Jakarta.. I believe is the respective bus company depot?

This thread is about Jakarta and abit of bandung, If you just want to cover Bandung, much better you post your specific question in bandung thread

Check 1st pg.. For Jakarta - shopping-shopping 7 shoppings.. & abit ofthe Old dutch quarter

U mean Ancol? Well, not interested also haha

No idea, I passed by Ancoll few times, dun really interest me.. Infact theme parks are not in any of my travel agendas .. Even Disneyland or whatever land
