"Staff"

Holiday Inn Express Jakarta International Expo by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The room is cleaned very often and staff were all very helpful. Specifically, Listi at the front desk was always warm and kind when I needed help. Room also came with a free breakfast everyday with a rotating menu of Indonesian food!"

Ra Premiere Simatupang

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was great, and the staff, particularly Miss Asti, were extremely friendly and helpful. However, the housekeeping staff could use some additional training. On occasion, they would forget to restock the toilet paper, forcing us to request some from the reception desk. The room was clean, and the staff were friendly. The location was also convenient."
