JAKARTA ACCOMMODATION INFORMATION
For Students visiting from abroad
There are many guest houses and hotels near the LSI SATELLITE CLASSROOMS, ranging from
as little as Rp 85,000 (€ 7.70 / USD 8.60) to Rp 2,700,000 (€ 174 / USD 193) per night.
We want our students to be satisfied with our Indonesian Immersion Program,
and not be dissatisfied with our accommodation recommendations.
Therefore, we ask all students to search for and arrange their own accommodation.
PLEASE BE WARNED . . .
​
Jakarta is an extremely congested city.
A short taxi commute which would take 15 minutes in another city
can take 2 hours or more in Jakarta during peak weekday hours.
​
With this in mind . . .
​
It is absolutely essential that you book an accommodation that is within
2 to 4 kilometres of the KARINDRA BUILDING on Jalan Palmerah Selatan
(where LSI's Satellite Classrooms are located).
​
Otherwise, you may find yourself investing 4 to 5 hours per day
commuting to and from the school.
OUR SUGGESTIONS
The HOTEL MULIA SENAYAN (one of Jakarta's premier 5-star accommodations)
is located just 800 metres from the LSI's Satellite Classrooms.
​
For students with the budget for such accommodations, the MULIA is an obvious choice.
But for all others, we suggest . . .
1. SEARCH FOR ACCOMMODATIONS USING BOOKING.COM
BOOKING.COM consistently turns up the best deals. Further, most accommodations on the site allow you to pay on arrival and do not require a prepayment to secure your reservation.
​
2. WHEN SEARCHING :
* Enter your Destination as "Jalan Palmerah Selatan, Jakarta."
* Set filters based on "Your Budget" and the "Property Type" you desire (hotel, guest house, homestay, etc).
Keep in mind that guest houses and homestays are generally more economical than hotels, and they usually provide a much better
opportunity to use and develop your Bahasa Indonesia skills.
​
3. ONCE YOU HAVE SELECTED YOUR ACCOMMODATION, INFORM LSI OF YOUR CHOICE.
We will confirm that the location is appropriate.
