It is reasonable price around 150 or 200 thousand ruphias. Without breakfast and only small room, tv, and small bathroom with shower. If you want the cheaper one you can purchase capsul hotel. But i guarantee almost jakartan hotels are clean...i ever tried the budget hotels in Yogya, Bandung, Malang, or Semarang...they are clean.
I would choose a clean and comfortable hotel, of course, but if it's like this it's also comfortable being located in a dense residential area at a low budget price
I think i will pick that kind a room when i'm traveling, i just need the room for sleep or put my stuff because most of my time i will spend for walking around the city 😂😂

@@alexandwhite this is NOT the smallest hotel room in Jakarta. It's a normal boarding house room space. The smallest room is a capsul hotel you can find in Jakarta. One of them is called bobobox.

Cmon. You be nice! I spoke the truth!
I love this place. Incredibly clean and beautiful. It reminds me of how efficient a tiny home can be. The minimalist approach and what this hotel offers overall is nice.
I used to live in a room smaller than that for a year back in my college days, so I'd stay there if the price is good enough. Especially if it's clean and has private bathroom.
Oh wow at first I thought it was gonna be shared bathroom, but you got your own bathroom - for that price its a really good room! Spotless, good location and the building itself is great. Btw I love how polite you seem, and always wear your mask - setting a good example!
@@alexandwhite I’ve stayed in bobobox. It was a great experience for me to stay there. Alex, you should try bobobox if you have plan to travel to semarang or jogja. It’s cheaper than any pod hotels. I got less 100k for a night lol
I hope you can stay in Jakarta for longer and explore more area, because it's interesting when see the foreigners filming the local vibes also the culture
I like it! Personally, I don't care about it, because I am out and about. As long as the room is safe, clean, and, location is good, I am happy! Yes, I would have hit the streets for my food. Some Bakso, maybe Gorengan, possibly Martabak. OH, I miss my house in Jakarta!
that was so cool :D I believe it's made for small and tiny people 🤗 but also me with an height of 5'2 would enjoy to sleep in a double bed even more because I need space 😆 looking forward to your next vlog 😍 so exciting to watch you channel growing so fast 🥳🥳
This is great! Me and my partner live in a 10m square tiny house in New Zealand. At least we have a mezzanine floor, heaps of decking, and an amazing view because it's up 70 stairs! 😂
Jakarta is honestly affordable enough that you can get a decent hotel for not much more money, getting much more bang for your buck. I live in tokyo and hotel rooms of this same style are very popular for drunk people and short term travellers.
Thats pretty decent budget hotel in jakarta, and have a price $11 per night in jakarta is difficult to find. cons are the space in the room is small & located in the alley, pros are the room is quite cheap, clean, and digitalized (only need scan QR code). I'm interest with rooftop view, able to have coffee break & enjoy JKT view, its priceless. What is the name of this hotel? What is the street name? Living in jakarta is not really that cheap if we compare it with other cities surrounded it i.e. depok, bogor, bekasi, tangerang. btw, terima kasih for sharing the experience, i hope you enjoy Indonesia. :)

I think this one is better than capsules, coz you can stand and has bathroom inside.. Btw, I once stayed in a hotel in soekarno hatta airport, and I think it's the same size with this one.
You're now my favourite foreign youtuber to explain the beauty of Jakarta... So smooth and pretty.. I got the calm vibe from your videos... As a local, I thank you very much. Love from South Jakarta... ❤️❤️
Your CZcams channel will get a lot of viewers if you make a video about Indonesia, because the Indonesian people are one of the biggest smartphone & internet users in the world 😀
Windows for me are a top priority. Even in the middle of the night, without a window to the outside, I feel boxed in. You did have a window....but wasn't clear glass - and didn't look out. I've had to change rooms because of no window - in KL. (actually changed hotel). A good video though as it showed what a small room in a hotel with very small rooms is like nowadays.
Oh here is an idea. I know exactly where that small room place is and it is just 5 mins walk from the Tanah Abang market one of S.E. Asia’s largest textile markets. Stroll around the markets and head for the rooftop of Tanah Abang market. Pay a little money to the security guard and go on the very top rooftop for some stunning views of Jakarta. Then, later head behind the Tanah Abang market and go through all the tiny alley ways where so many communities reside toward the railway tracks. See the diversity of this city just a few mins from the center of the CBD of Jakarta. This would make a far more compelling vlog.
Welcome to Jakarta, feels like years ago since foreigners travel and made a video here in Jakarta, glad you’re here, and showed up in the video suggestion.. enjoy Jakarta bro
Really couldn’t see the point of a first time visitor to Jakarta to do a video about a small hotel room! Jakarta is a massive up and coming mega city! It’s dynamic and diverse with some amazing areas to discover. Not to mention on its doorstep has some amazing paradise islands!
You must also try Bobobox, it's smaller than this hotel room. It kinda like a pod hotel, but still have enough room for a table, a small chair, a mirror, and a trashcan. The wifi is also super fast. But sadly it doesn't provide a TV. The price is also comparable, around $10 per night.
Alex, I want to ask why you are exploring Indonesia even though there are many cooler and more modern countries I ask like this because I am curious about people like this when?
I dont think its that bad plus you had your own bathroom and entire room its clean, i would probably give a shot to stay there ☺️ thanks for sharing btw what is the name of that hotel ??
Makasih Banyak Alexander - I had to watch the VDO 2x before I got the name of the place but I found it. I’ll be in JKT in a few months and this place looks perfect for recovering from jet lag after that flight that takes over 26+ hours - you must certainly know that drill… I’m coming from Boston to CGK - the distance is so far it doesn’t matter whether one travels east or west - it’s the same distance either direction. Been watching several of your vids about JKT life. Looks intense… but I’ve lived in Manhattan so I think I can adjust. I’m just dreading that long long flight!
You should stay in south jakarta for sure, its more friendly for tourist.. many places to eat, coffee shop, bars.. check senopati and gunawarman street or kemang area.. and those places are great too if you want to check out jakarta's nightlife
Well im in jakarta why would i go to hotell,except my aunt has a ticket for the tallest hotel in indonesia, but my parent doesnt allow me due to covid, im so sad
Great option for a single traveler or members of the back packer crowd. While inexpensive, it's not a hole. Heck, even a family of 4 can stay, each person gets their own "room" and it's still less than 1/2 the price of a US hotel along an interstate for one room. Thanks for showing us this option. I trust you still kept the AirBnB when you stayed there as you only had a back pack. Great review and video, the bell ding on the sun suddenly showing up on the buildings was a nice touch!
like capsule hotels in japan, with that price honestly it's really helpful if ur travelling alone and just need to find a quick place to stay for the night.
OMG Alexander, You're so happy in Jakarta!. I enjoyed the hotel room review you reviewed today imagining that you could be there. Unfortunately I am still working and learning from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I really enjoyed your review of the small hotel rooms in Jakarta. Good job, Alexander. Thank you so much...
CMIIW, I think he forgot to mention the name of the hotel, even on the description, and here I am finding the name of the hotel on the comment section.. hahha found out, it called "Cool Living" in Kebon Kacang area.. what a detail review though, good job! I might try that hotel sometimes..
tbh for me this hotel is pretty cool, since i am neither big nor tall, it'll be perfect for a single room. I mean $11 (+ - Rp. 160.000,00) for the facility and the cleanliness it quite worth the price in my opinion, not to mention it has AC and wifi . Not too cramp like capsule hotel, not too exspensive for a single room, it is nice, especially if you want a room for a day that has good facility and a quite cheap price point. it is such experience. although we can agree that the view isn't the best. And yeah, i would stay here for the experience. Thanks for sharing about the place.
@@alexandwhite it’s not a mall. It is an institution every expat who has lived or worked in Jakarta knows intimately well. I know guys who fly 1/2 around the planet to visit B.A.T.S
6:40 FYI: The building which is colored gold is called Indonesia Satu Towers. The status is now on hold and the height will be 303 meters when it's finished. Will become the tallest twin tower in Jakarta and even Indonesia.
Alex great vlog!! I would totally stay here for more than a night just to see how well I will manage!! Thanks for the vid again!! Hopefully meet up with you soon!!
Mate, I really enjoyed that. I'm stuck in quarantine at the moment. In a hotel in Mangga Dua. Halfway through my 10 day quarantine. In a 20 sq metre room. So I can imagine how cozy your room was. 45k for a meal? Cmon on man. I paid that much for a glass of orange juice here lol
Hi alex... although they call "hotel" i prefer call that room as "motel" / "guest house".... .tht just for an hour for backpacker/whom for waiting something/someone in that area...
@@alexandwhite Have u heard of Renata Pereira channel? Her vlogs in Indonesia were a success. One of d videos in Jakarta hits 2.2M views with thousands of comments n she has a great attitude replying to almost every comment, with hearts, just like u. Spare time to watch that vlog, maybe u could pickup some ideas, if u plan to be more successful in d future. Indonesian especially d people from Jakarta loves foreign vloggers, just like d Malaysian. 😁🇲🇾😁
Great video, the only bad idea is not having at all lol, also happy for your channel taking off, I subscribed when you had 6000 couple weeks ago, I was vlogging in Colombia 🇨🇴 at the time, hope we cross paths in the future, I’m pursuing the same goal
If it is just for sleeping after dilly dallying all day in the city, I think it should be just fine. It's not too bad considering you only pay for just $11.The clean room for me is more important.
Thank you for strolling around my city. Thanks also for your nice review.. looks like you see everything and comments at the bright side.. so encouraging. Next.. go to our other cities, try our intercity bus.. our trains.. sea ship.. Oh.. btw, I suggest you to wear hat and eyeglasses.. to avoid dust and dirt. Safe journey Alex.. take care.. God with you
I dont mind the space when i travel. It is just a place to sleep. But cleanliness is important. I like how they offer all the amenities you can get for sucha cheap price!
Wow new video, hey Alex, if you're still planning to stay in Indonesia, I think you should visit "5 New Bali" that the government developing it's the five new tourist destinations are Mandalika (West Nusa Tenggara), Labuan Bajo (East Nusa Tenggara), Borobudur Temple (Central Java), Lake Toba (North Sumatra), and Manado (North Sulawesi)
Your hotel room is posibly less than 10m2. I see the width of your room is only the width of the bed which is around 2m. Am I wrong? So your hotel room is around 6-8m2. However, the hotel look good: clean and strategically located

Really couldn’t see the point of a first time visitor to Jakarta to do a video about a small hotel room!
Jakarta is a massive up and coming mega city! It’s dynamic and diverse with some amazing areas to discover. Not to mention on its doorstep has some amazing paradise islands!
Tom Cruise?
where?
@@alexandwhite the whole video
Yes Alex seems like Tom Cruise 😁
Lol
@@LyxlOfficial xd
You must also try Bobobox, it's smaller than this hotel room. It kinda like a pod hotel, but still have enough room for a table, a small chair, a mirror, and a trashcan. The wifi is also super fast. But sadly it doesn't provide a TV. The price is also comparable, around $10 per night.
yeah i've seen it! maybe if people are interested i will do one video there
Alex, I want to ask why you are exploring Indonesia even though there are many cooler and more modern countries I ask like this because I am curious about people like this when?
because countries are closed due to coronavirus
I dont think its that bad plus you had your own bathroom and entire room its clean, i would probably give a shot to stay there ☺️ thanks for sharing btw what is the name of that hotel ??
I hope your channel will grow.
😊😊😊
thank you Ridwan!!
Makasih Banyak Alexander - I had to watch the VDO 2x before I got the name of the place but I found it. I’ll be in JKT in a few months and this place looks perfect for recovering from jet lag after that flight that takes over 26+ hours - you must certainly know that drill… I’m coming from Boston to CGK - the distance is so far it doesn’t matter whether one travels east or west - it’s the same distance either direction. Been watching several of your vids about JKT life. Looks intense… but I’ve lived in Manhattan so I think I can adjust. I’m just dreading that long long flight!
Next adventures in magelang, central java
will try to 🙌🏻🙌🏻
You should stay in south jakarta for sure, its more friendly for tourist.. many places to eat, coffee shop, bars.. check senopati and gunawarman street or kemang area.. and those places are great too if you want to check out jakarta's nightlife
$11 for this.. wow its very money friendly and clean hotel
Agreed thanks for watching Haidar!
"all right we're in it" for mee when he went in the bathroom 😂😂😂
hahaha the bathroom was crazy
Well im in jakarta why would i go to hotell,except my aunt has a ticket for the tallest hotel in indonesia, but my parent doesnt allow me due to covid, im so sad
what is tallest hotel in jakarta?
Westin jakarta, kinda expensive tho, but my aut has a special membership card so she had little discount for it
Great option for a single traveler or members of the back packer crowd. While inexpensive, it's not a hole. Heck, even a family of 4 can stay, each person gets their own "room" and it's still less than 1/2 the price of a US hotel along an interstate for one room. Thanks for showing us this option. I trust you still kept the AirBnB when you stayed there as you only had a back pack. Great review and video, the bell ding on the sun suddenly showing up on the buildings was a nice touch!
" this is gonna be a very quick room tour " 😂😂😂
I tried making it longer haha
Great place to stay if you’re a traveler who spends most of your time exploring and just need a safe and clean place to sleep. 👍🏾
GO TO MASJID ISTIQAL "don't wear shorts" "before you enter the Istiqlal mosque you must perform "wudhu" before entering" ,
thanks for the recommendation! 🙌🏻
Hopefully next time my own room would be as super clean as that sick room. Gotta start with the bed first for some reasons.
Nice and clean that's nò 1✔
cleanliness is always priority no 1
like capsule hotels in japan, with that price honestly it's really helpful if ur travelling alone and just need to find a quick place to stay for the night.
Cuma mau bilang sebentar lagi kita akan memasuki bulan suci ramadhan
Semoga kalian sehat selalu sehingga bisa melaksanakan ibadah puasa.. Aminn.❤
in this content Indonesians must use English
pity can't speak english hahaha 😂😂😂
OMG Alexander, You're so happy in Jakarta!. I enjoyed the hotel room review you reviewed today imagining that you could be there. Unfortunately I am still working and learning from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I really enjoyed your review of the small hotel rooms in Jakarta.
Good job, Alexander. Thank you so much...
Well it is better than my college dorm room.
better than mine was too haha
CMIIW, I think he forgot to mention the name of the hotel, even on the description, and here I am finding the name of the hotel on the comment section.. hahha found out, it called "Cool Living" in Kebon Kacang area.. what a detail review though, good job! I might try that hotel sometimes..
I did mention the name quickly in the end of the video but yes it’s called cool living! 😃🙌🏼
Tolong terjemah bahasa Indonesia
Sya orang Indo gak ngerti yg diomongin 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Subtitle bahasa indonesia akan ditambahkan akhir pekan ini
@@alexandwhite Terima kasih 🤗
tbh for me this hotel is pretty cool, since i am neither big nor tall, it'll be perfect for a single room. I mean $11 (+ - Rp. 160.000,00) for the facility and the cleanliness it quite worth the price in my opinion, not to mention it has AC and wifi . Not too cramp like capsule hotel, not too exspensive for a single room, it is nice, especially if you want a room for a day that has good facility and a quite cheap price point. it is such experience. although we can agree that the view isn't the best. And yeah, i would stay here for the experience. Thanks for sharing about the place.
haha not the best view but good enough for sleeping and very affordable
@@alexandwhite exactly XD
Hey Alexander, please do all the males of the world a favour and pay a visit to B.A.T.S at the Shangri la. It will be epic!
theres no way i can visit all the malls lol
@@alexandwhite it’s not a mall. It is an institution every expat who has lived or worked in Jakarta knows intimately well. I know guys who fly 1/2 around the planet to visit B.A.T.S
@@gregdarcy7494 surely both BATS is still closed, will have been since around year ago?
6:40 FYI: The building which is colored gold is called Indonesia Satu Towers. The status is now on hold and the height will be 303 meters when it's finished. Will become the tallest twin tower in Jakarta and even Indonesia.
Hey did you see my comment?
sorry can't get to every comment, trying to. whats up
Alex great vlog!! I would totally stay here for more than a night just to see how well I will manage!! Thanks for the vid again!! Hopefully meet up with you soon!!
Thanks for watching Yinkzz 😁🙌🏼 just got your DM too
Nice bro, if you want to increase your subscriber ,put subtitle indonesian language on it,thanks
my translator doesn't do them til the weekends! but the new videos already have them 😁🙌🏻
Very interesting, looks really clean and comfy, think I'll give it a try for a staycation only.
yeah staycation, maybe 1-2 nights
Mate, I really enjoyed that. I'm stuck in quarantine at the moment. In a hotel in Mangga Dua. Halfway through my 10 day quarantine. In a 20 sq metre room. So I can imagine how cozy your room was. 45k for a meal? Cmon on man. I paid that much for a glass of orange juice here lol
That’s a small one. But, my friend stayed in the smaller one, in Jakarta. Lol. At least everything proper.
Hi alex... although they call "hotel" i prefer call that room as "motel" / "guest house"....
.tht just for an hour for backpacker/whom for waiting something/someone in that area...
I have stayed in some small hotels in JKT, and this is actually a very nice one. For one person this option is definitely better than capsule hotel.
Absolutely agree! At least you get a private bathroom with this one
Thanks for this video. And thanks for sharing n showing d small hotel room ecperience in Jakarta.
Wow. 475 comments at this point. Busy busy busy. 22K subscribers now, congrats.
haha yes super busy thanks Yasin!
@@alexandwhite Have u heard of Renata Pereira channel? Her vlogs in Indonesia were a success. One of d videos in Jakarta hits 2.2M views with thousands of comments n she has a great attitude replying to almost every comment, with hearts, just like u. Spare time to watch that vlog, maybe u could pickup some ideas, if u plan to be more successful in d future. Indonesian especially d people from Jakarta loves foreign vloggers, just like d Malaysian. 😁🇲🇾😁
Great video, the only bad idea is not having at all lol, also happy for your channel taking off, I subscribed when you had 6000 couple weeks ago, I was vlogging in Colombia 🇨🇴 at the time, hope we cross paths in the future, I’m pursuing the same goal
If it is just for sleeping after dilly dallying all day in the city, I think it should be just fine. It's not too bad considering you only pay for just $11.The clean room for me is more important.
Thank you for strolling around my city. Thanks also for your nice review.. looks like you see everything and comments at the bright side.. so encouraging.
Next.. go to our other cities, try our intercity bus.. our trains.. sea ship..
Oh.. btw, I suggest you to wear hat and eyeglasses.. to avoid dust and dirt. Safe journey Alex.. take care.. God with you
will try to visit other surrounding cities, thanks Surya!
Your jakarta videos will be a huge success
Well, this kinda help me to search a cheap but nice hotel in Central Jakarta. Thank you for showing this
3:35 Yes this is much bigger than capsule hotel - and cheaper. If one is out most of the day and wants clean bed at the night, perfect 👌
i you look at google maps streetview, this hotel was not exist before 2019. i believe it just opened one year ago...
I dont mind the space when i travel. It is just a place to sleep. But cleanliness is important. I like how they offer all the amenities you can get for sucha cheap price!
Wow new video,
hey Alex, if you're still planning to stay in Indonesia, I think you should visit "5 New Bali" that the government developing
it's
the five new tourist destinations are Mandalika (West Nusa Tenggara), Labuan Bajo (East Nusa Tenggara), Borobudur Temple (Central Java), Lake Toba (North Sumatra), and Manado (North Sulawesi)
Ok bang
yes i've heard of the new bali they're developing 🙌🏻
Your hotel room is posibly less than 10m2. I see the width of your room is only the width of the bed which is around 2m. Am I wrong? So your hotel room is around 6-8m2. However, the hotel look good: clean and strategically located
haha yeah might be even smaller! 😆😆
Of course! Just for sleeping after sight seeing all day. It's nice, clean and modern. Welcome to Jakarta! 🙂
yes! Thank you Indi 🙌🏻
Yes salamat satang di jkt 😁😁😁
