The ideal place for a family”

At 1 hour driving from the airport and less than half hour from the fussy busy centre of Jakarta this family guesthouse where you feel immediatly home is perfectly situated for those who are looking for some rest and at same time close to every comfort and need. Hidden behind a great wall full of high palmtrees and green garden this villa reminds the old times where the rich seek refuge during their spare time out of the city. Not far from here you can go to shopping malls, local markets, visit lake and villages, and don't hesitate to take the famous ANQOT (little red on-hop bus) that takes you alongside the narrow street to several interesting destinations less than 30 km. At the guesthouse you can enjoy the calm swimming pool, cook your own dinner in one of the kitchens, talk to one of the family members who left their story through the numerous paintings and souvenirs inside the corridors and rooms, a real treasure of historical value! If 1 thing should be improved it is the cleaning and hot water in the showers, a lot of corners need to be refreshed....but it is a real big house so we can understand!

Lovely home atmosphere ”

I loved this house, it is exactly what I was looking for an I'm grateful to helpful comments made by previous guests on Agoda. The house is old and slightly run down, but full of character. It feels like staying with a family, albeit one that isn't there. My standard room was huge and very comfortable, air con and hot water worked fine. Although the hot water ran out after about 10 mins each morning :/ The small communal kitchen area was wonderful; fridge, bottled water, tea and coffee provided. And there are many communal meeting areas to talk and play in, kareoke, kindy playground, swimming pool. The location does not make for easy access to Jakarta's night life or major shopping malls (although Cibubur Junction Mall is only a couple of km), but is great for access to south of the city and avoiding some of Jakarta's traffic conjestion. For international travellers this is an Indonesian experience and not an anonomous sterile hotel room.

Pleasant 'wedding' house with good facilities”

Our stay was marred by a failed pick-up from the airport. After waiting an hour on arrival at Jakarta airport we took a taxi only to find it was 1/2 the price of the airport transfer we had requested. You really needs to define whether the airport transfers offerred are complimentary or just taxis with a 100% surcharge. We chose this hotel because it had facilities: fitness centre and swimming pool and breakfast and airport transfers. The fitness centre was non-existent,likewise the transfer. The hotel was a long way from anything and we found ourselves in buses, angkot and taxis most of every day with few attractions nearby. On a positive note, service and security was good and the room large and comfortable. Hot water was broken.

Out of main city for tourists”

JKT traffic is terrible. Use Gojek or Grab bike taxi (single seat). The place is a grand villa family home with many rooms let-out. 2 owners stay in part of house with their families. Owner grew up in California (where I am from ). Servant is very helpful. No running hot water, gave me stove heated bucket of hot water for bath on my request. ( regular temp is bearable and city is hot and humid, I went in Dec ). Lush garden and grounds for walk around. Kids will really enjoy the space. But dont be too loud and respect others :)

Good peaceful accomodations in Cibubur area”

Enjoyable stay in nice setting with helpful staff. Very good place to stay for access to this area of Jakarta.

Nice building”

I was under the impression it was do-able to visit Jakarta from this place. But it took me 3 hours and a fortune to get on and off to this place. However if you dont need to be in downtown Jakarta im sure you can have a pleasant stay here. the staff is very friendly

Miss Havisham's House ”

Looking for a cozy place to relax for 2 days, I search the net to find a lake or so near Jakarta and I found a lake. looking for a hotel I found Srimanganti Guesthouse and afte looking at the pictures and the comments, I rest assure that would be a good place to stay. However, having arrived there, I found it a good place for kids to tell the story of the Great Expectation since the guest house reminded me the Havisham's House. Old curtains, dusty sofas, clogged toilet, venomous insects(lucky to have Baygon Spray in the car) and.... at night my kids were shouting in interest when I asked them about the reason they said that they are having a good experience here because they have witnessed a fight between a cockroach and a lizard on the wall and the lizard could behead the cockroach!!!!!! But the place was very calm and far away from the madding crowd of the city. and the staff were welcoming. oh yea.. the guesthouse has a place for photo shooting which is nice. Yet, I think it was the last time I would stay in this guest house!!!!

guesthouse has a nice atmosphere”

The building has a nice atmosphere, it's more a homestay than a hotel. Familyportraits give you an idea who (used to) live here. It lookes like a stylish villa turned in to a guesthouse. Hotel staff made a great effort, even bought me some food because it was already late. The room was big and had its own kitchen and balconee overviewing the swimming pool.

Solid Place to stay”

Very helpful staff. Very interesting house. This is just the kind of place I look for when traveling. It's not expensive, feels very much like home. It's just an old big beautiful house. It felt like a home stay without the awkward 'I'm in your space' moments. The only nock on the place is that it is far from central Jakarta. But Central Jakarta sucks so...

not a hotel but private residence. quiet and big. ”

Its a residence of a famous people in Jakarta before. they left all the picture of family and remain the design of house, can see all the picture are hanging on the wall and feeling of their story .

Unique Jakarta guesthouse”

Felt more like minding somebody's mansion while they were away! Family paintings and fancy furniture everywhere. Thoroughly enjoyed all the living room space and front yard space. Only place within walking distance is a mini-mart, so best for guests who have their own wheels.

Nice guest house but hard to find”

it's very hard to find the guest house, the phone number given is a mobile phone number and was not active when we called. the guest house didn't have official number even if you ask the information center. but the staff are friendly and the owner spent his time to talk with us.

luxury hotel”

Great Location, Wonderful Room & Environment”

none for àdvantages”

It is an awful experience in awful place, the pictures shown on the sites, it is taken centuries ago i believed. Room is too small, aircon not functioning They dont çhange the bed sheet for us!! The last guest for this room just check out before we came in !! All dusty and rusty All the reviews is fake i believe

Dirty room, old facility, hot water not working, low flow of water, no recepsionist, ”

When i come it was hard to find receptionist because this is not hotel but old big house of rich family.the room is dirty, many ants arround on the floor, no extra electricity source to charge cellphone exept 1 for tv, tv channel is limited and not clear, hot water not funtion, low water pressure from wastafel, hard to find the place, but the staff are welcome and nice. Awful experience in here

Poor Manpower and Facilities ”

Poor facilities. Shower was broken, hot water was not working. Staff was lousy. Less helping with taxi/car booking (both Call or Online). I had a package arrived few days before my check in day. Yet it never handed over to me until my check out day. Staff said he did not received any package on my behalf. While courier has clearly stated that it is arrived and received by one of the staff. So I came back to Singapore without my package. Very disappointing. Nice place but if only it has better facilities and better staff, would have been nicer.

breaking down”

Nothing to see here. Huge mansion of some rich family with lots of rooms and swimming pools. Very dusty, unmaintained, worst service, clogged drainage, hot water not working, breakfast of nasty nasi uduk and bubur ayam they bought accross the road (packed in newspaper and styrofoam box)

short stay”

good”
