I am interested stay in JuniorExpat Hostel Jakarta

So can u describe this place?

Is it safe?

hostel

Let me clarify with you. Rp 2M for your budget is for accommodation only or for all things during your stay (accommodation, transport, meal, shopping, etc)?

The hostel you mentioned is more like a guest house and looking from the location, it%26#39;s not that strategic, especially if your plan including visits to touristy places and shopping.

I suggest to look at the accommodation somewhere in Central Jakarta (Mampang is in South Jakarta). Formule 1 hotel Menteng (2 star) is quite good for comfortable budget stay (Around Rp350,000 per night).

Alternatively, you can check out many motels/inns/guesthouse at Jalan Jaksa, it%26#39;s like backpackers lane in Jakarta.

Two points are unclear

- budget for stay/ all expances?????????

- this weekend?? having in mind that today is Sunday

YES..

2M is for EVERYTHING.

As i just prepared only 2M for eats,souvenier,accomodations,transportation,else.

So is it possible??

And of coz I DONT have card credits...

Yes, it%26#39;s possible only a bit tight. Some important thing %26amp; tips to set aside is:

1. Jakarta airport tax Rp150,000 per person is required for everyone depart from Jakarta airport. This is payable at airline check-in counter in Jakarta.

2. You can opt for using bus instead of taxi between airport and the city. Taxi will costs around Rp100,000 one way while bus is less than Rp20,000.

3. If you spend on the nicer 2 star hotel, probably you will be left with less than Rp1k to spend on meals, attractions, shopping and transport. A value meal at McDonald%26#39;s or other fast food will costs around Rp25,000. So, figure out yourself on your financial breakdown.

4. Since you don%26#39;t bring any credit card, I suggest you bring some spare money, just in case you need it to pay excess baggage or other emergency matters.
