As this was my first stay in Indonesia and buzzling Jakarta, I really appreciated the kindness and hospitality of the staff. They even advised me on a new, more local app to get my departing train to Yogyakarta sorted. I also got a washing done with them, and although I normally do not like receiving scented laundry back, this time it was actually very nice and I loved the smell. The hostel is perfectly situated for the old town area and the beds very nice, comfortable and good to shut with a curtain to allow for a peaceful sleep. I admit that I first thought the smell in the room was a bit strange and moldly, however once inside one would hardly be bothered.

The hostel has a warm and friendly atmosphere that you don't often find in other places. The staff is polite and helpful. The common area and kitchen are spacious. There is everything you need to have a good time. I would especially like to thank Faiz, who cooks very tasty food, for example a dish called Ramesan (on photo). It's delicious and affordable. He also provided me with a lot of useful information about Indonesian food, interesting places and local prices. I am grateful to him and the whole hostel for a wonderful holiday and the good mood. For me, this is an example of what a hostel should be.

Good location, quiet at night, hot shower, good lounge area, super friendly staff, good food! Like others have said, the facilities are basic, but it's good enough. Stayed a week no problems. Close to metro station and bus station. Staff are all great, especially Sulisyadi at the reception was friendly and helpful, and Faiz the chef made excellent Indonesian food and was super friendly! They made my stay much better!

I wish they wood lubricate the doors to the bedroom, they made a squeaky noise when opened.

Lovely 3 day stay at Wonderloft Hostel. The private room was well appointed and clean. Comfy beds slept very well! Large communal area on the ground floor with TV and pool table, plenty of seating. The hotel is located near Kota train station so very easy to get around the city. The staff were great, in particular Andini. She was very friendly and sweet; she showed us around Bogor and the botanical gardens, also had a delicious 'Soto Mie Bogor' and ginger beer. The staff kindly let us borrow Kai cards to get around the city. Would recommend.

My stay at Wonderloft was short yet impressive. Clean rooms and facilities with lockers built next to the bed itself. The common room has a pleasant atmosphere, with a well functioning kitchen, TV, working section, and a pool table. A place where you can do your own thing or mingle with fellow travelers. You can buy some snacks and drinks from the front desk itself. Locations wise it's situated close to the old town, with lots of exploring nearby, otherwise the metro station is also barely a 5 min walk. Staff is friendly and always ready to help. Special mention to Nia at the front desk who I mostly saw helping someone or the other in the evenings, with her warm and friendly demeanor. She went up and beyond to order me some delicious delicacies from one of her favourite places in the city and the same ended up being my favourite meal in Jakarta. Overall it's one of the far better hostels I've personally been to so definitely gets my vote of choice if you're in Jakarta.

I loved this hostel! The staff are the highlight because they're so lovely. The location is great, right in the heart of Kota Tua. I felt safe there as a solo female traveller even at night. The breakfasts were good and cold drinks were available to buy. The bed was comfortable. I was worried there wouldn't be privacy curtains after looking at the photos, but there were. I'd stay here again for sure.

10/10 would recommend if you want to explore Kota Tua area in Jakarta! Great access to public transport (Jakarta Kota station) and walking distance to all the national museums, and Chinatown Glodok for some food adventure (10 minute). I would recommend to get the 4 bed instead of 8, as the 8 bed rooms are super small with limited space to store your luggage. Bed is a capsule style dorm with curtains, with lockers for your valuables and small bag. Room gets super cold at night, ask for an extra blanket if needed. They sold earplugs at extra 20,000IDR if you have a snoring bed mates. Toilet is clean.

8 dorm bed too small. Recommend to take the 4 bed.

Location, location, location. In the heart of the old town (Jakarta Kota), with a clean space, good WiFi, decent bed, plenty of space to keep your luggage secured, game zone downstairs and food if need be. Plus I tasted the decent breakfast next door (voucher from the hostel). The best was intangible - people I have met in the hostel were incredible.

The staff are very helpful and super friendly, i like the mutual areas on the 2nd floor and the main floor. I like the entertainment there, such as the Netflix service and Billiards.

The ladder 🪜 to the top bed is hard to climb on and off, i almost fell twice, so please try to improve that and make a grip at the other side of the bed to improve more safety.

The people at the lobby are very nice! The beds were private and comfortable. You have a locker near your sleeping place too so you can store all your luggage in there. The commun room is also nice, you have a lot of things that can keep you busy. The bathrooms aren't very hygienic, so wear slippers when you shower or other things...
