4-Star Hotels in Banten, Indonesia

“Good for a Transit Stay, but the AI-Driven Service Needs Work” I booked this hotel mainly because of the reviews mentioning the good food and free pick-up/drop-off shuttle service. Communicating with the hotel before check-in to arrange the shuttle was easy through the hotel’s WhatsApp number, which I found on Trip.com. Upon arrival, I noticed that the hotel seems to cater quite heavily to Chinese visitors. There was a line of Chinese guests checking in, and one of the front desk staff spoke Chinese fluently. Some of the notices around the hotel were also written in Chinese, presumably Mandarin. Check-in was smooth, and the front desk staff was nice and helpful. However, I was informed that I needed to install an app to use various hotel services during my stay, including the digital room key and room service. While this may be convenient for some guests, I personally found it a bit of a hassle at the time. The installation itself took some time, followed by an explanation of how to use the system. The food was average, with a reasonable selection of options. However, the refilling of some items was rather slow. For example, the milk for the coffee machine ran out and was not replenished promptly, and at times there was no cook available. The room itself was nice and spacious. One thing I particularly liked was the layout, with the washing area located near the entrance. The toilet unit also looked new. Unfortunately, the towels looked rather shabby and could use an upgrade. Complimentary bottled water was available upon request, which was a nice touch. One of the biggest downsides for me was the lack of a telephone in the room. All service requests have to be made through the app. I had to communicate with an AI chatbot, but the chatbot would often instruct me to go downstairs and confirm the request with the reception desk anyway. I found this rather confusing and wondered what the point of the AI system was if I still had to speak to a staff member in person. It seems the hotel is trying to adapt to AI and reduce the need for human staff, but the system does not seem to work effectively yet. In my experience, it actually added an extra step rather than making things easier. This was especially noticeable during check-out. There was only one front desk staff member, which was surprising. He was very patient and did his best to serve everyone, but the hotel really could have used more staff at that time. As a result, the line became quite long. Had I been informed during check-in that I could simply use the self-service machine to check out, I could have avoided the queue altogether. The location is in the CBC area, although finding the hotel felt a bit like navigating a labyrinth. It wasn't the easiest place to locate, especially for a first-time visitor. Overall, I would say you get what you pay for. For a one-night transit stay, the hotel was acceptable, especially with the free shuttle service and spacious room. However, the hotel could significantly improve its service by having more human staff available and making its AI-based system more practical and user-friendly.

Had a cosy, quiet and enjoyable 5-night stay at Herloom's one-bedroom premier twin room. Experienced some problems with the balcony door and bad odour from below the kitchenette's sink, and the support came to rectify the issues promptly. Breakfast was fantastic. All the hospitality staff were courteous and, without fail, asked for feedback for improvement. Kudos to the customer service team! Special shout-out to Ranti, who greeted us every morning with her bright smile and was prompt to help with all the requests we had during breakfast. Great service with sunshine smiles even on rainy days! Will definitely recommend Herloom Hotel and Residence BSD to travellers for a comfortable stay at BSD.

The room is spacious and affordable, with a shopping mall downstairs, and Chinese restaurants nearby. Taxis are also readily available. It's one of my favorite hotels, and I'll definitely stay here again next time. Haha.

The hotel is 20 minutes from the airport. Everything is new and super clean, and the bed is very, very comfortable and large. It has a minibar and a kettle. The staff are very friendly and always willing to help. The pool is wonderful and has a shower, as well as a gym. I will definitely be back.

The room facilities are a bit old and there's no ventilation! However, the hotel environment is very good and the location is also great!

The hotel room facilities are a bit old, and the cleanliness didn't meet expectations. The bedding might have been used for a while as there were yellow stains. The chairs weren't very clean either. It's right next to the exhibition hall. The good thing is you can get there in 3 minutes. The downside is that if there's an event at the hall, it starts getting noisy from 4 AM, and sometimes there's construction at night. Out of 6 nights, I only had 3 good nights' sleep. The motorcycle noise outside is also very loud, which seems to be a city characteristic and not the hotel's fault. Overall, I'm satisfied.

Before my stay, I specifically requested a quiet, non-smoking room. However, upon entering the room, I was met with a very strong and unpleasant smell of cigarette smoke. After I reported the issue the first time, the staff mentioned they would handle it, seemingly using some kind of deodorizing spray, but the smell in the room did not noticeably improve. After reporting it a second time, a very kind front desk staff member personally came to check the room and also confirmed that the smell was indeed very strong, after which they assisted me in moving to a genuine non-smoking room. I'm very grateful to the front desk staff member who helped resolve the issue in the end; their attitude was very kind. Additionally, the hotel is very close to the airport, which is extremely convenient for travelers with early morning or late-night flights. I just hope that in the future, the hotel can pay more attention to guests' requests and communications made before check-in, especially for important accommodation conditions like a non-smoking room.

The room is spacious, and the bed is large and very comfortable. Its location directly on the second floor of the check-in hall makes it a top choice for early morning flights and layovers. Breakfast is also decent and filling, with drinks and fruits available.

Overall the hotel was favourable, more positive issues then negatives such as: 1. location good especially if ur into golfing, 2. breakfast was ok, very nice restaurant ambience 3. Easily accessible to chain restaurant as it’s connected to a mall But, having laid out the positives, here is the single most important issue that will make me avoid the hotel ( n i recommend u to avoid it too) unless the management changes its policy on energy saving. My 6day 5 nights stay were sleep deprived, as every night between 2-3am the hotel decides to reduce it’s air conditioning temperature which made sleeping unbearably hot, I woke up sweating all 4 nights except for 1 night(maybe because I was too exhausted or maybe they got fed up of my complaints) which I did incessantly ..the first nite I went to the lobby to complain to the duty manager,,and every nite after before retiring to the rooms 10.30/11pm, I would remind the duty manager the same thing..which they promised that they will inform the hotel engineers ..but it never worked..every night I’d be calling the duty manager n after 30minutes of still suffering in the heat,,I would go to the lobby and personally complaint..check ur damn cameras if the hotel mgmt thinks I’m making tis up…my stay was 19/7-24/7/26..it’s just so stupid to operate a hotel tis way…if u really want to save energy without disrupting the guests sleep…shut it at 5am, when it’s oredi super cold n most guest r also in the process of getting up!!! Please avoid this hotel if u feel sleep is important to u!!!

My stay at Anara Airport Jakarta was excellent and very convenient, especially for transit. The hotel is clean, modern, and well-maintained, with comfortable rooms that provide a relaxing environment after a long journey. Its direct connection to the airport makes it extremely practical, saving time and hassle. Check-in and check-out processes were smooth and efficient. Despite being located at the airport, the rooms were quiet, allowing for a good rest. Overall, I had a pleasant experience and would highly recommend Anara Airport Jakarta for travelers looking for comfort, convenience, and great service.
