Wonderloft Hostel Kota Tua

As this was my first stay in Indonesia and buzzling Jakarta, I really appreciated the kindness and hospitality of the staff. They even advised me on a new, more local app to get my departing train to Yogyakarta sorted. I also got a washing done with them, and although I normally do not like receiving scented laundry back, this time it was actually very nice and I loved the smell. The hostel is perfectly situated for the old town area and the beds very nice, comfortable and good to shut with a curtain to allow for a peaceful sleep. I admit that I first thought the smell in the room was a bit strange and moldly, however once inside one would hardly be bothered.

Lovely 3 day stay at Wonderloft Hostel. The private room was well appointed and clean. Comfy beds slept very well! Large communal area on the ground floor with TV and pool table, plenty of seating. The hotel is located near Kota train station so very easy to get around the city. The staff were great, in particular Andini. She was very friendly and sweet; she showed us around Bogor and the botanical gardens, also had a delicious 'Soto Mie Bogor' and ginger beer. The staff kindly let us borrow Kai cards to get around the city. Would recommend.

My stay at Wonderloft was short yet impressive. Clean rooms and facilities with lockers built next to the bed itself. The common room has a pleasant atmosphere, with a well functioning kitchen, TV, working section, and a pool table. A place where you can do your own thing or mingle with fellow travelers. You can buy some snacks and drinks from the front desk itself. Locations wise it's situated close to the old town, with lots of exploring nearby, otherwise the metro station is also barely a 5 min walk. Staff is friendly and always ready to help. Special mention to Nia at the front desk who I mostly saw helping someone or the other in the evenings, with her warm and friendly demeanor. She went up and beyond to order me some delicious delicacies from one of her favourite places in the city and the same ended up being my favourite meal in Jakarta. Overall it's one of the far better hostels I've personally been to so definitely gets my vote of choice if you're in Jakarta.

10/10 would recommend if you want to explore Kota Tua area in Jakarta! Great access to public transport (Jakarta Kota station) and walking distance to all the national museums, and Chinatown Glodok for some food adventure (10 minute). I would recommend to get the 4 bed instead of 8, as the 8 bed rooms are super small with limited space to store your luggage. Bed is a capsule style dorm with curtains, with lockers for your valuables and small bag. Room gets super cold at night, ask for an extra blanket if needed. They sold earplugs at extra 20,000IDR if you have a snoring bed mates. Toilet is clean.

The people at the lobby are very nice! The beds were private and comfortable. You have a locker near your sleeping place too so you can store all your luggage in there. The commun room is also nice, you have a lot of things that can keep you busy. The bathrooms aren't very hygienic, so wear slippers when you shower or other things...
