My Disaster First Day In Indonesia!!

This was my first day in Jakarta Indonesia and it ended up being a disaster; In this Indonesia travel vlog I show my entry into the Jakarta International Airport (Soekarno-Hatta) and the process of getting into the country. I take a Grab taxi to my hotel and show some scenes along the way of the bustling city of Jakarta. I arrive at my hotel "Sans Roxy Hotel" in West Jakarta and it seems decent from the outside, also it was only costing $10 a night. I arrive a bit early so I have to wait till I can check in, so I take a walk to a coffee shop nearby (Maxx Coffee) to work a bit and grab so coffee and breakfast. The girl who served me there Rusya was such a nice person and gave me an amazing coffee presentation. I proceed to check in to my hotel. I do not usually complain about hotels but this hotel is situated right above a ridiculously loud Karaoke bar which goes till 2AM and this was not mentioned anywhere. Also i have trouble breathing in the room because it smells like gasoline at night and it really is nauseating. Needless to say, I end up leaving this hotel on my second night in the middle of the night. I would not recommend this hotel (Sans Hotel Roxy) to any of my audience who plans to visit Jakarta. All my other hotel stays after this in Jakarta were really good, but i guess you get what you pay for. My first day in Jakarta, Indonesia was a disaster mainly because of the hotel, other than that it was fine.

Who am I?
A man from the USA trying to travel the world one place at a time, while sharing the journey through my lens. I like traveling to places that are usually not first on most people’s tourism list and showing everyone that these places are worth the journey. I want to experience all the countries I visit as a member of the society but at the same time learn about the culture, food and beautiful people. Growth is not achievable without leaving your comfort zone, so just do it!

Great Video, you found such a nice coffee shop, i will be in indonesia next month surely i gonna visit...

[@TheOverthinkerMe]

Well, that's the price you have to pay. So much potential for the place. If the management can only improve the facility, it could be the best budget hotel in the area. That's a great discovery and heads up to future travelers. Thanks, Mayer and always keep safe!

[@myertravels]

Totally agree

[@MasJS]

When you stay in Jakarta, it's better to staying in a hotel at the Central Jakarta or South Jakarta area, it's a little more expensive but definitely more comfortable , there are a lot of public transportation , like MRT, Bus Way , LRT , Shopping Mall, Hangout places etc

[@jiujitsutriangle]

oh nice! you’re in jakarta! my wife is from there, great place, nice malls, many things to do! my wife’s 1st cousin manages a way nicer hotel near you way better than that $10 a night one lol Aviary hotel in Bintaro. let me know if you want to stay there. but if you’re already out of jakarta, hope you go to bali, lombok, jogya, and bandung! man i miss all that indonesian food! regards from a Fil-Am from Chicago! stay safe.

[@unchartthegoodlife8574]

Maybe you can help me if possible. Me and my baby ife will go to jakarta in 3 days we dont know what hotel to go too thanks in advance

[@langeparkian]

Check in after 2-4pm is standard in almost every country. It is known. It’s weird that you had to have that conversation with yourself.

[@Blindfolded.911]

I did KZbin search: "first time in Jakarta", and I found most tourists/vloggers was happy. Then I found your video, the only video who have bad experiences. Really sorry to hear that, but I suggest you to never ever take below 20$ hotel in Indonesia if you want to stay overnight. 40$ above is suitable for vloggers. For your information, 10$ hotel is mostly used by a "short-time couple", not for resting overnight. And no matter how you complain about that hotel, pretty sure they don't care considering their cheap price with low rating. So make sure you always check the hotel ratings before you check in.

[@dore3faso6sido]

10 $ in big city and complain?

[@Blindfolded.911]

[@lucasli7826]

The more shocking things that he disappointed that he couldn't do early check in where generally hotel/resort check in time is at 2 PM. I believe that in the invoice there is information about it. In case you come early, you have to inform in advance if you would like to early check in, if not then just gambling for luck of the availability of the room at that time with no right to complain about at all.

35 usd for visa on arrival, not bad or bad or pleasant? Which one? 35 usd for 30 days is already a fair amount. Did you expect 15 dollar?

Jakarta and Bali is two my most favourite places in the world. Not because i am Indonesian but because i been to places and no place like jakarta and Bali 😊

A cheap hotel shouldn't mean dirty and smelling. It might mean it is small, lacks facilities and service. I'd expect that, but not the dirt and smell. So some of the comments are a bit unfair that he was complaining. This is the first video I've watched of Myer's. I enjoyed it, I've subscribed and will definitely watch his other content.

[@myertravels]

Thanks for defending me haha trust me I don’t usually bash hotels if you keep watching my other videos, but this one was exceptionally bad and I don’t want my audience to run into this issue

[@digiedaw_]

true, cleanliness is a must, no matter how much the price

u should check hotel around central jakarta, wahid hasyim, thamrin or near district kuningan jakarta

Most of the hotel accommodation check in timing is either 2pm or 3pm anywhere in the world. I don't see any reason for you to be clueless as you travel frequently.

Definitely your hotel is not for tourist, but for taking excursion of the karaoke ladies escort. pls always check review from others tourist for budget hotel.

Ya ... sorry this is a fact of life. Cheap hotels then you get what you pay. And of course as you said in the title disaster, you basically ask for a disastrous experience. You also said, why there is karaoke music so loud? Well the hotel is a ... "after karaoke get a room to f" basically... choose and spend wisely next time... pay more and stay in the central or south jakarta amd use google for translation and search for best spots

as I remember previously free visa but due to free visa a lot of tourists from Russia and Ukraine came and created problems In Bali, they had no money, and started working to make money in Bali illegally. This is a problem with local residents because local residents pay taxes and they don't.

Hmm interesting 🧐

I dont think so. Free visa only for ASEAN countries. Others uses VOA.
