Grand G7 Hotel Kemayoran

Grand G7 Hotel Kemayoran Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Grand G7 Hotel Kemayoran, you get that solid, no-nonsense vibe that honestly feels refreshing after dealing with some of the flashier places around Jakarta. This three-star property doesn’t try to be something it’s not — instead, it focuses on getting the basics right, which I actually appreciate more than you’d think. The lobby has a clean, modern feel without being sterile, and the staff genuinely seem to care about making your stay work.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s what I love about Kemayoran — you’re close enough to central Jakarta to matter, but far enough out that you’re not dealing with the absolute chaos of the main tourist zones. The hotel sits on Jl. Garuda, which might not sound familiar if you’re new to the city, but it’s actually pretty well-connected. What really caught my attention is how couples seem to gravitate toward this area (they rate the location 8.4 out of 10), and I get why. There’s something about this part of town that feels more authentic, less touristy. Plus, having free private parking available right at the hotel is honestly a game-changer if you’re planning to rent a car or have friends picking you up.

The Room Experience

My room was exactly what I expected from a well-run three-star place — clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully laid out. The air conditioning works properly (which, trust me, matters a lot in Jakarta), and the bed was actually quite comfortable. You know what impressed me most? The attention to small details, like having enough power outlets in useful places and decent water pressure in the shower. It’s not going to win any design awards, but everything functions the way it should.

Breakfast & Dining

The breakfast setup here is something special, especially if you’re looking for halal options or want to dive into proper Asian cuisine. They do a buffet-style spread that covers all the Indonesian basics — I mean, where else are you going to get authentic nasi gudeg alongside your morning coffee? The variety is solid without being overwhelming, and honestly, starting your day with some proper local flavors beats another generic continental breakfast any day. The dining area gets busy around 8 AM, so if you prefer a quieter meal, aim for earlier or later.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how it balances being genuinely Indonesian with understanding what international travelers actually need. The 7.5 rating makes sense when you experience it — it’s not perfect, but it delivers on its promises without any unpleasant surprises. The staff speak decent English, the location works for both business and leisure travelers, and you get solid value for what you’re paying. I’d definitely consider staying here again, especially if I wanted to experience Jakarta from a more local perspective rather than being stuck in the typical hotel bubble.

Jakarta’s apartments welcome long stays with concierge grocery delivery, kids clubs, and shuttle rides to international schools.
