The Orient Jakarta, a Royal Hideaway Hotel
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
The Orient Jakarta is worth booking if you want the top-rated five-star in our Jakarta sample, with a pool, spa and a much-praised breakfast, at a price that is modest by international standards. It is a poor fit if you want to walk to the National Monument or the old landmarks, which are all an hour or so away on foot.

It suits travellers who want full five-star facilities and plan to move around Jakarta by car. The property lists a pool, spa, gym, restaurant and free parking, and guests consistently praise the staff.
Budget travellers should skip it: our other two picks cost a fraction of the price with scores of 8.6 and 9.0. Anyone who wants to explore Jakarta's main sights on foot will also be better served elsewhere.
Location and getting around
The hotel is on Jl. Jend. Sudirman No.36, RT.14/RW.1, Bend. Hilir, Kecamatan Tanah Abang, Kota Jakarta Pusat, Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta 10210. Guests rate the location 9.3 out of 10.
The major sights are far. The National Museum of Indonesia is about 4.4 km away, roughly 55 minutes on foot. The National Monument is about 4.6 km, around 58 minutes, and Istiqlal Mosque about 5.4 km, around 68 minutes. Plan on a taxi or public transport for all of them. These are straight-line estimates, not verified routes.
What guests say
The score is 9.3 out of 10 from 1,108 reviews. Staff are described as friendly, helpful and professional. Breakfast draws strong praise: an extensive buffet plus an à la carte menu with Indonesian and Western dishes. Listed styles are Asian, American and buffet.
The criticism concerns dining beyond breakfast. Guests praise the attached Japanese restaurant, but describe rooftop meals as expensive and only average. Budget for eating out if price matters to you.
Price and how it compares with our other Jakarta picks
Our reference check for a 2-night stay in November 2026 with 2 adults showed about €112.89 per night. These are reference prices seen for those dates, not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates. The sample median was €60.00, so The Orient costs nearly double the typical hotel in our sample.
Our Budget pick, YELLO Hotel Harmoni, scored 8.6 with 3 stars at about €26.76 a night. The Best Value pick, Holiday Inn & Suites Jakarta Gajah Mada by IHG, scored 9.0 with 4 stars at about €56.91. The Orient costs roughly twice the Holiday Inn for a 0.3 higher score, five stars and a spa.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 18 eligible properties in Jakarta. Our Luxury slot prioritises five-star hotels, and The Orient holds an official 5 stars. Its 9.3 score ranked joint first of the 18 on guest feedback, which made it the clear choice.
