Guest sentiment

A 376-room hotel 500 metres from the Fatahillah Museum in Jakarta's historic Kota Tua (Old Batavia) district, blending nostalgic design with modern comfort.

Last updated August 8, 2026

Mercure Jakarta Batavia sits about 500 metres from the Fatahillah Museum and Cafe Batavia in Jakarta's historic Kota Tua (Old Batavia) district, giving guests a base within walking distance of the city's colonial-era square and museums. The 376 Superior, Suite, and Privilege rooms blend nostalgic design cues with modern comfort, and the property includes a swimming pool and fitness centre alongside its restaurant and bars. Guests consistently praise the excellent soundproofing, new-feeling room facilities, and staff willing to go the extra mile, with the main watchout being the Kota Tua location's distance from Jakarta's central business district and Thamrin/SCBD hotel cluster.
