A good place to stay in Slipi area. Arrived here via Gading Taxi where I had a very very bad experience with the driver. He wanted to charge 300thousand rupiah for a ride from CGK airport to Menara, which normally cost less than 130 thousand rupiah even on very very bad traffic. When i told him to put the meter on instead, he went berserk.
Shared my experience with the hotel receptionist who checked me in, and by jove, he was justifying the 300thousand rupiah charge. Oh boy.
Ended up being billeted to a Junior Suite, upgraded for whatever reason. Oh well, a good ending to an otherwise crazy night in Jakarta. What a day, and night.
To the receptionist, please get your facts well. After all you are the face of Menara.
