A capsule hotel or a hostel are viable options for those traveling on a shoestring budget.
Three budget lodging options opened recently in Jakarta, offering not only affordable rates, but also comfortable stays.
These spots come with trendy designs, proving that traveling on a budget does not mean settling for unsavory rooms in which to sleep.
The Digital Airport Hotel
Greater Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta International Airport has opened a capsule hotel for those looking for a place to spend the night.
The Digital Airport Hotel is located in Terminal 3 and features a minimalist and futuristic design, reminding visitors of a spaceship.
The hotel offers two types of rooms, Alpha and Beta. The former is equipped with a 22-inch TV and a portable desk, while the latter comes with 32-inch TV sans the desk.
In addition to the in-room facilities, guests can also expect cable TV, a USB charging outlet, a communal shower, free Wi-Fi, blankets, pillows, lockers, bathroom amenities and complimentary bottled water.
The rooms are available for stays of six hours or one day starting at Rp 250,000 (US$17) for Alpha and Rp 375,000 for Beta.
