This
review
is
a
little
late,
but
it
is
important
that
I
share
my
recent
experience
so
that
others
can
make
an
informed
decision
regarding
their
booking.
During
my
stay
at
the
Grand
Sahid
Jaya
Jakarta
City
Center
hotel,
I
was
disappointed
with
the
overall
experience.
The
hotel's
aged
and
deteriorating
condition
was
evident
throughout,
highlighting
the
urgent
need
for
a
complete
makeover.
One
of
the
most
noticeable
issues
was
the
state
of
the
room
furniture,
which
displayed
serious
signs
of
age
and
decay.
This
not
only
affected
the
room's
aesthetics
but
also
compromised
comfort
and
functionality.
Additionally,
moldy
ceilings
in
the
corridors
and
a
persistent
damp
smell
throughout
the
hotel
created
an
unpleasant
and
unhealthy
environment.
Furthermore,
the
lack
of
proper
soundproofing
in
the
hotel's
windows
proved
to
be
a
major
drawback.
The
constant
noise
from
the
traffic
outside,
especially
during
the
night,
made
it
difficult
to
have
a
peaceful
and
restful
stay.
This
issue
significantly
impacted
the
overall
quality
of
sleep
and
relaxation
that
guests
expect
from
a
hotel.
Another
area
of
concern
was
the
dishonesty
of
the
check-in
staff.
Despite
specifically
requesting
a
room
away
from
the
main
road
to
avoid
noise,
I
was
assured
that
my
request
would
be
honored.
However,
upon
entering
the
room,
it
was
evident
that
the
sound
of
traffic
could
still
be
heard,
indicating
a
failure
to
deliver
on
the
promise
made
during
check-in.
In
addition,
the
lack
of
English
proficiency
among
the
front
desk
staff
was
frustrating,
especially
considering
the
hotel's
promotion
as
an
international
establishment.
Clear
communication
is
vital
in
ensuring
a
smooth
and
pleasant
guest
experience,
and
the
language
barrier
caused
unnecessary
confusion
and
inconvenience.
Despite
these
disappointments,
I
would
be
willing
to
consider
returning
to
the
Grand
Sahid
Jaya
Jakarta
City
Center
hotel
if
the
necessary
improvements
are
made.
I
hope
that
the
management
takes
these
concerns
seriously
and
initiates
a
comprehensive
renovation
of
the
hotel,
addressing
issues
with
the
furniture,
moldy
ceilings,
dampness,
soundproofing,
and
providing
better
training
for
the
staff,
particularly
in
English
communication.
Such
efforts
would
greatly
enhance
the
overall
guest
experience.
In
conclusion,
based
on
my
recent
stay,
the
Grand
Sahid
Jaya
Jakarta
City
Center
hotel
fell
short
of
expectations
due
to
its
aging
infrastructure,
lack
of
maintenance,
and
unsatisfactory
customer
service.
However,
with
significant
improvements
and
a
commitment
to
providing
a
higher
standard
of
accommodation
and
service,
the
hotel
has
the
potential
to
regain
its
appeal
and
become
a
more
desirable
choice
for
travelers.
I
typically
make
my
choices
carefully
to
avoid
giving
properties
unfavorable
ratings.
Unfortunately,
I
have
to
rate
this
property's
service
a
2/5.
