About Borobudur Hotel

  • Borobudur Hotel in Central Jakarta classes itself as a 5 star hotel
  • the average visitor rating for Borobudur Hotel is 4 out of 5

Hotel Borobudur offers everything you expect from a top-end, high-quality hotel. Its 695 guestrooms feature air conditioning with individual temperature control, TV with satellite channels, multi-line IDD telephones with voice mail, PC and internet connection, mini-bar, coffee/tea making facilities, hair dryer, bathrobe, in-room safety deposit box, and keycard entry.

The hotel’s leisure facilities are also top notch. Thanks to its large grounds, it is one of the only hotels in Jakarta to offer an Olympic-sized pool (plus a smaller kiddy pool also). There is also a running track, comprehensive gym with complimentary exercise classes, outdoor sport area, basketball and badminton courts, and eight tennis courts – some enclosed and with night lighting! There is also an outdoor playground and supervised kids club. Or, for real relaxation, try the spa, steam room, saunas and cold plunge.

Yet Hotel Borobudur also offers a more authentic, culturally Indonesian experience than some of its peers. Stylish Indonesian decor can be found throughout the hotel, and its most popular restaurant – the Bogor Cafe – is famous for its Oxtail Soup. Starting at $80, reserve a room.

One Review of “Borobudur Hotel in Central Jakarta”

  1. The Righteous Dude Says:

    I enjoyed my stay at Borobudur Hotel, despite not feeling very well at the time.

    It does or has a few things beyond what you might expect at your average luxury hotel:

    - As a light sleeper, I appreciated that the room’s curtain rails were designed to not just meet, but overlap. The big, thick pillows – four per room – were very comfortable, too.

    - As an amateur photographer, I enjoyed the historical photos of Indonesia and Indonesians that dotted the walls along each floor. The view out the window of Lapangan Banteng with Istiqlal mosque, the Catholic Cathedral and the West Irian Freedom Monument (a.k.a. The Howzat Man) was pretty cool, too. No, the room isn’t noisy from the Istiqlal mosque.

    - As I was sick, I enjoyed the 51 channels and the current Indovision guide to know what was on when. Room service was nice, too; my order of soup came with a large glass of ice water, bread and butter.

    Other people (and maybe me too if I stay there again) would enjoy the cavernous swimming pool, the large grounds – including a 700m running track! – and the 23 acres of well-kept gardens.

    My only concerns are that in some places the hotel is starting to look a little tired/old, and the breakfast/restaurant area is a bit small for the number of guests staying there. The bathroom ergonomics are a little unusual – e.g. handtowel at thigh level, door opening straight towards the toilet – but you can get used to that.

    I would recommend the Borobudur Hotel for travellers wanting a less generic, more Indonesian accommodation experience; it is also suitable for first-time visitors to Indonesia with families.
