$100 Luxury Hotel in Jakarta, Indonesia - Let's find out what you can get!
I choose to stay at the Hotel Borobudur in central Jakarta. Perfect location and the price was just under $100 for a night, including breakfast. This was the lowest price I ever paid for a 5-star luxury hotel, so I was not sure what to expect. Join me on my day at this hotel in Jakarta.

This is unfortunately the end of the Indonesia series. Thanks to everyone in Indonesia for being so kind and welcoming🙏I really had a great time here and I'll be back for a 2.0 series next year!💪
I still post daily videos from Indonesia on my 2nd channel, like this Indonesia McDonald's review: czcams.com/video/2lFYxIJNkeU/video.htmlsi=_ZW_U51kCchdiS7J

_27:50_
*Thanks for your beautiful vlogs*
*Don't be a stranger ok Ken*
_See you soon Mein Freund!_
see you again Ken. It was nice to see u strolling around many city in Indonesia, coz you took the vlog nicely, did some food review in a good manner, and always smiling with local people. and the fact u didnt forget to help the homeless, help the poor , that was a nice of you being so generous. We will always welcome you in Indonesia, see u soon next year
😢
Let's goooo for the 2.0, there are still many places/island in Indonesia to visit.
The staircase in the lobby is so beautiful, it feels like a Hollywood star would walk down it!
The hotel feels a bit historical, but the room is comfortable and the view outside the window is great!
It’s great to have such great food by the pool, and the lights at night make it feel like it’s Christmas every day!
See you in Indonesia next year, looking forward to the new series, thank you very much for sharing! 👍🥰🙏
Kamu selalu berlaku positif, saya suka dan hargai 👍 by the way..orang Indonesia makan nasi goreng dengan sendok, tidak dengan tangan. 😊
Borobudur Hotel is a grande dame with a lot of history. For many Jakartans of a certain age, it was the place to be with the most popular club in the annex building. Many locals would also tell you that it’s the best place to have sop buntut (oxtail soup).
20:06 not everything in Indonesia has to be eaten with your hand. Even if you go to a street side stall and eat nasi goreng with your hand you will get stared at, it’s very weird 😂
I love indonesia. Its been over 6 years and I need to go back! I was planning to go there in june but they require the jab so I went to thailand instead. Talked to someone from czech republic and she told me the same thing 😂😂😂. I love lembogan and gili islands 😢
at the Borobudur hotel where you stay and swim, in the early 90s, Lady Diana from England once stayed and swam in that swimming pool
One thing I know is that resources are one of the key factors for comfort. I never thought I would be able to visit this amazing hotel and cool place. The rooms are incredibly spacious, with soft and huge beds that exceed all expectations.
Yeah it’s quite an amazing place. You seemed to be in a shock visiting this hotel
Indeed
Yh
Hotel Borobudur is famous for its oxtail soup (sop buntut). The menu was created by a street food vendor in front of it but then the Hotel bought the recipe.
During 1980's to late 90's Borobudur hotel used to be Called Borobudur InterContinental Hotel.
I'm impressed with that Borobudur Hotel...very majestic ! Your room looks very cozy, spacious and comfy. Thanks for the room, garden and pool tour. Great of you to show us that beautiful Cathedral which is built quite nearby to the biggest South East Asia's biggest mosque. It's indeed a nice spot to enjoy nasi goreng and drinks.....by the pool 👍👏 Love the beautiful night view.
Well, Ken, l want to express my appreciation for your hard work on this Indonesian series. Your dedication, attention to detail and creativity really made this series a success. Well done and a big thanks for bringing me along with you on this journey....l really enjoyed all your videos. "TERIMA KASIH" again and safe travels !
For now it's the best travel channel to me. Thanx a lot
Hey Ken, das Hotel und vor allem auch das Menü sahen wirklich sehr toll aus! Es bleibt spannend auf Deinem Kanal. Best wishes 🤘😎🎸
Great content. I enjoyed watching it and loved it as always. Thank you Ken. 👍👍👍😍😍😍
It certainly has left you with a nostalgic feeling leaving Indonesia with such lovely memories.You certainly deserved this special treat for yourself after having been on the road for so long.👍Looking forward to your next new destination.Cheers and take care Ken!💕🇲🇾
Thank you Ken for all the reviews. Looking forward for your next vlogs. Have a good day always!
thanks a lot! 😊 You have a great day too!
I stayed there from 80’s to until 1999. Elegant and nice hotel that I would love to go back again to see. Loved the pool and garden.
12:30 wow, I didn't expect that, that place is cool, thanks for taking me to that hotel, because of you, I got to know about it. Keep exploring Ken, I hope you enjoy your time in Indonesia, keep being a friendly person.
I always go and see mosques old ones especially in non Muslim countries. Loved the Chinese mosque in melaka Malaysia. Go and see old churches. And other religious temples. Thanks for a nice video. The temple model at the hotel is about a big temple in Java ( don't remember the right name).
Thank you so much for everything ! It's great that you can enjoy your trip here in my country. Have a safe flight !
Thanks a lot 🙏
Wow beautiful hotel..very nice hotel in jakarta. Thank you ken for sharing this video.
Enjoyed in yr five star hotel stay. Awaiting to see another new country vlog.👍
Everything shown in today's video is awesome from the hotel, the cathedral, the mosque , the gigantic swimming pool n last but least the yummy platter of nasi goreng.👍👍
Nice video! I always look forward to them
Thanks Kent for coming to my country. Please come back and still have a lot of place you need to visit.
Wow what a great hotel, it's a legend hotel, built in 1963 during the Soekarno presidency, it used to be a Dutch colonial military base, located near the State Palace, this hotel used to be used as a place to stay for state guests. In the 1970s the hotel was renovated and enlarged to 695 rooms, 12 levels, on 23 March 1974 it was inaugurated by President Soeharto.
Don't forget to visit Pasar Senen bro, not far from Borobudur hotel.
That temple miniature is replicating Borobudur temple, the biggest Budha temple in the world. A UNESCO heritage , located in Magelang, Central Java.
That's mini temple is Borobudur, the same name with the hotel name
The mini temple you see is the miniature from the real big temple in the world called Borobudur Temple. Please visit Yogyakarta-Indonesia next time.
Hi Ken! Looking forward for your next visit to Indonesia next year. Stay healthy stay positive.. 😎
Thank you 😊
I liked your vlogs in Indomesia. You had a nice interaction with the people. I hope you have a safe yourney. I look forward to your next vlog.
Thanks a lot 🙏
Of course, you may not open the window mainly if your room is on the high floor. Besides dangerous is probably m to prevent someone is going to jump down/suicide. Thanks for coming in Indonesia and hopefully see u again next year!
you pay 15-20 nasi goreng on the street BUT without Prawn, Big Chicken, Sate..so 120 for nasi goreng is a modest price for a hotel
Another great video Ken, didn't realise you had a second channel - just subscribed! Next time you are in Bali on tour check out the Artotel in Sanur - we have spent 20 years travelling around Bali and this is one of the best value hotels we've ever stayed at and allows you to head to Nusa Lembongan/Ceningan/Penida very easily to explore further! Keep up the good work, always excited when I see a new upload from you :) Ben
Thanks Ben 💪
A little info, the architect of the Istiqlal Mosque was Friedrich Silaban, a Christian from North Sumatra. There's also an underground tunnel there that connects to the cathedral
Im from Surabaya, East Java. when i was in highschool, i had a study tour to Jakarta. The place we went to when we just arrived in Jakarta was Istiqlal Mosque. we also did subuh prayer there. I think it's kinda popular since we know Istiqlal is the biggest mosque in SEA 😅
Did you know that Princess Diana once stay at Borobudur hotel and enjoyed the olympic size swimming pool at early morning. Borobudur is well maintained 5 star hotel that built circa 1970/80.
oh wow didn't know that!

Ken i come from south africa and i have visited that mosque... so yes for sure we like to visit mosques in other countries...
this is an old five star hotel, used to be the best hotel in Jakarta but i think it is still well maintained. I used to play tennis and swimming with my friends back in late 80 when i was in junior high. there is a restaurant called "bogor cafe" that sell delicious oxtail soup, very famous
I will really miss ur yt in Indonesia Ken. Safe flight!🎉🥺
Thank you 😊
Hotel rekomendasi buat kamu ken hotel yg menurut saya paling mewah dan banyak turis luar negeri nginep bikin konten adalah Hotel Langham di SCBD jakarta. Hotel yg sangat modern dan view langsung gedung gedung tinggi pencakar langit dan sangat indah kalau sore hari dan malam hari dengar kemerlap lampu gedung gedung sangat indah... Aku berharap sebagai pengikut kamu. Km bikin vlog di hotel Langham SCBD Jakarta ken. Aku pasti sangat senang nonton nya. Berharap kamu bales komenan saya ken Terima kasih😘💕 salam cinta saya dari fajri Indonesia buat ken German❤❤❤❤
Keeen... Its always curious to watch your new vlog as the notification was coming into my phone 😂❤
The miniatur of Borobudur Temple in the Hotels garden is really nice, its one of world's 7 miracle a couple years ago, the same with Taj Mahal, Pisa Tower, etc. I dont know if Borobudur Temple still worlds miracle now 🤔🤔
You need spoon to eat Nasi Goreng Ken... 😄 But you can eat with your hand in KFC, McD, and also Nasi Padang Restaurant 👍😄.
Honestly your room quite overpricing for me, as I often stay in more amazing room with the rate only IDR 800k -900K. In my duty trip I've got corporate price from the hotel.
I quite Impressed with the Hotels Lobby, full of the Decoration from West Sumatera Culture, My Homeland 🥰🥰. Ok Im still waiting for another vlog of Indonesia , still hope for West Sumatera's Vlog someday, Bye Ken.... 🥰🥰
THX FOR VISITING MAN, SUCCESS ALWAYS..👍👍👍👍👍👍
reminiscent of old days, used to be my favorite joint in late 80s to mid 80s where i was introduced to a very good local batak band 'los amigos'. from late 90s to early 2000 its mulia hotel.
The temple inside the hotel yard is the replica of Candi Borobudur, one of the biggest buddhist temples in SEA
That Miniature Temple at Hotel's garden is Borobudur Temple, the biggest Buddist temple in the world, located in Central Java.
Thank you, Ken, for visiting Indonesia and spreading kindness in Jakarta and Bandung. May you always be blessed with good health and be able to return to Indonesia next year.
By the way, I watched your video where you stayed at the oldest hotel in Malaysia. I have some recommendations for the oldest hotels in Indonesia that are still open, along with their year of construction and locations:
1. Hotel Majapahit, Surabaya - 1910
2. Hotel The Phoenix, Yogyakarta - 1918
3. The Hermitage Hotel, Jakarta - 1923
4. The Shalimar Hotel, Malang - 1930s
5. Hotel Tandjung Sari, Bali - 1960
6. Hotel Indonesia Kempinski, Jakarta - 1962
7. Royal Ambarrukmo Yogyakarta, Yogyakarta - 1964
Hopefully, this can be a reference for where you stay on your next adventure!
Thanks for the recommendations 😊
❤❤❤
Amazing review and content ! A lot of memory in this Hotel. Hope you enjoy Indonesia and can't wait to see the 2.0 series next year. Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung und ich hoffe, dass Ihnen Indonesien gefällt. Grüße an die Deutschen
Borobudur Hotel, Sop Buntut the best choice 😍 the oxtail kind a legend
Too bad it's your last days here, Ken.. Really hope you enjoy the visit here, and have beautiful & memorable nostalgies in Indonesia..
Best wishes and really hope you stay safe and healthy.. I'll wait for you again on your 2.0 edition..🙏🏽🙏🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks! I'll be back 😊
There's this place in Northern Jakarta called Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK) that I recommend you visiting. It is a place full of attractive and bustling hangout places and it overlooks the sea in Jakarta. It is also home to Indonesia's Chinese Indonesian community. There are two places called Pantjoran and Pantjoran 2, which is a modernized version of Chinatown.
mempunyai harta dan kekuasaan itu penting apalagi hidup di Indonesia ini

Awesome looking hotel. Such great price for such luxurious place. One day I go Jakarta, Indonesia, I will try this hotel.
Your video is very informative
Yes.. I know this is at hotel Borobudur in central jakarta near lapangan banteng, mosque istiqlal ❤❤
Ken, we always support You and hoping all the great thing, see you next year like what you said.. hopefully,.. 2 months is not enough to explore Indonesia...😂😂
Yeah need more months haha
Nice hotel. Has a mid century vibe to it.
Hello and good evening, Ken and everyone. Have a glorious weekend. Guess l'm early, right? 😄😃
Early as usual haha. Good evening!
yr next trip to Jkt perhaps can check in at ASTON MARINA PLUIT....nice and cosy....
Hey ken, this content wasn't popup on my tiktok yet, usually i see your content first on tiktok.
1:12 yeah, a lot of hotel,mall and other high rise building most likely have high level security check because we learnt a lot from 'Dr.Azhari' and his group who responsible for jakarta & bali b*mbing around 2 decades ago (CMIIW).
Fun fact : Dr.Azhari aren't indonesian but he care indonesia so much.
Nasi goreng from street vendor would be around 15.000 - 20.000, but in my case there are no street vendor near my house 😅 so i always go for online deliveries, and my favorite nasi goreng is 'chinese style seafood nasi goreng' costed around 75.000. so 100.000++ for a massive plate of nasi goreng in a 5 star hotel sounds like a deal. And by the way we don't eat nasi goreng with hands 😂 it'd be a nightmare
I think the video is not long enough because I really enjoy the blogger journey
Borobudur Hotel, top highest for the delicacy brings by the kitchen.
hope you explore indonesia more longer ✌️😎🙏
I'll be back! 💪
Ken itu identik dgn kaos bola PSSI. Pasti ini bukan ken!!!! Wkwkwkw
Hotel borobudur have the famous oxtail soup.. should give a try
Oh my God, this is the last time in Indonesia ken, make me speechless 😮😅
Hai Ken...!!! Lucky you... you had been upgraded..!! And the room looks so nice... you should extend for another night.. 😂😂😂
FYI for Muslims, it is not mandatory, but it is encouraged to visit any Mosque if we visit to other country @ place and perform a sunnah prayer inside (solat sunat tahiyatul masjid) besides the normal 5x daily prayer.
beautiful hotel n comfortable
we'll miss u Ken, hope you will be back soon
It was great watching your travel vlogs in Jakarta and Bandung....will you be coming back to Indonesia anytime soon? There are still a lot of destinations to explore in Java alone such as Yogyakarta City, the Borobudur Temple, the Prambanan Temple, mount bromo...just to name a few....
Oops...didnt see your comment that you'll be coming back next year...Great!
Yeah there are so many more places I'd like to visit so for sure I'll be back 😊
Jakarta is really a nice place. Hope to visit Jakarta someday.
Mosques narrate the story and show the state of that particular area, usually mosques are funded by the locals (at least in here Algeria) except for the big ones that are funded by the government, so if a mosque is big and has a lot of ornaments and lights that means there is a lot of people in the area with good amount of rich people, if it is big with basic architecture and les ornaments that means a lot of people with a lower economical status, etc.
So, usually people visit the mosques to pray and interact with the locals.
if you want to bring the drinks, you can actually find instant drinks of them, just have to know where to find them
Sure, use spoon 🥄
Many Indonesian also eat nasi goreng with a spoon.
Perhaps because it's usually served hot. Also the loose and oily rice makes it easier to eat with a spoon.
it's an old hotel, one of the first 5 stars hotel built in Jakarta
very nice hotel ken, if i go to jakarta, i will defenatly stay 1 night. Looking forward to your next country, which one?? Greetings Till from Phuket, viele Grüsse Till
welcome to Jakarta, have you try Soto Betawi?, the Authentic meals from Jakarta 😊
Based on the history. Friend rice (Nasi Goreng) is not originally from Indonesia but it is originally from China. Fried rice has been around since 4000 BC as a Chinese traditional dish. so when Chinese people migrated to other countries, one of them is Indonesia, they introduced fried rice to the new countries they lived in. they make fried rice based on the spices found in that country.
IT IS ONE OF THE MOST LEGEDARY HOTELS HERE IN JAKARTA & ONE OF THE BIGGEST HOTELS PERHAPS....
It's really surprising to see 5🌟 hotel at this price $100.. It's really worth.. I myself travel a lot but never came across 5 star hotel with that rate.. Room is also very spacious and good.. In fact excellent. What's the name of this Hotel Ken. YES i always visit local mosques whichever country I go
We will await your return! Enjoy your trips!
Thanks a lot 🙏
Indonesians are very friendly. And i love the fact that there are beers available everywhere in Indonesia, which is harder to find in Malaysia, except in super expensive bars.
But all in all, Thailand wins it all for me. They have everything
Indonesia has the biggest Buddhist temples and hundreds others...many volcanoes, big lakes and waterfalls...as well as more diverse wildlife. Better choice for adventures...but if you are looking for nightlife, then go to Thailand.
@@MultiDivebomber I'm not into "nightlife" at all. I don't like Bali, Pattaya, Phuket, Koh Pahngan etc.
I just want to have the option to sit in a bar, have a beer, and watch the sunset. Although Indonesia has stunning nature and great culture, it's easier for me as a solo female traveler to move around in Thailand.
Coba nasi goreng kambing yang sangat terkenal dikebun sirih jakarta pusat tdk jauh dari hotel Borobudur
Sabang Area?
@@FREDWALKERINDO yes that's right
Surf Shark Is Great!
Hotel borobudur, banyak mantan karyawan nya tinggal di komplek Perumahan saya di Bekasi Timur... Nama nya juga perumahan borobudur. 😅😅 Karena mungkin dulu dperuntukkan utk karyawan utk memiliki rumah
Yang anda maksud bir pletok itu buka lah minuman keras, melainka minuman tradisional khas Betawi 😁😁😁
this hotel is the former Intercontinental hotel during the 90's and many years it has not been renovated
I used to swim there and Hilton’s (now Sultan) a lot
When we can see you in Morocco to test the first highspeed train in Africa 🤓.
Jalan-jalan ke Palembang Sumatera Selatan bro
Hotel Borobudur is a five star hotel and serviced apartment located in Central Jakarta, Indonesia. Conceived in the 1960s by President Sukarno, it was meant to be the second international-standard hotel to be built in the newly independent country (the first was Hotel Indonesia).
Schoenen letzien feiertag in Indonesië Vielen Dank fur ihren besuch in 🇮🇩. Frisse des gesunden geistes und weiterhin viel erfolgreich wo auch auch bken ist. 🙏👍🙏😘❤😘❤👋👋👋
Vielen Dank 😊
Cute kitty!
this is an old hotel, it build in 23 March 1974..
way before i'm born and i'm old..
Ken you ever tried Cambodia , its alot better than some people think please try or Vietnam
To answer your questions about mosques,if i visit a nation with muslim majority population, visiting mosques is definitely in the itinerary. because it counts as landmark would be a waste if i don't visit and pray there.
But if i visit some places with little to none islamic presence i won't go out of my way to find mosques. even without it i would fare just fine,just find clean places,put on praying mat and make sure it points to the right direction. Often times within my own accomodation where am staying at.
Can't speak for everyone obviously and am not the most pious muslim myself but yea,that's how i usually do.
