9.4/10 Exceptional! (392 reviews)

I really enjoyed my stay at AYANA Midplaza JAKARTA. Everything from check-in to checkout was smooth, and the service felt top notch the whole way through. The highlight for me was definitely the gym—it was surprisingly comprehensive for a hotel, with plenty of equipment to keep up my usual routine. Rooms were comfortable, the hotel was well-kept, and overall it felt like a great mix of comfort and quality. Would absolutely stay again!
