My Comments on Aston Rasuna, and First Impression on Jakarta

Before reading this post, you may want to check out some pictures I took at Aston Rasuna.

Overall, I have a very good impression on Aston Rasuna. Of course la… 2-bedroom penthouse for myself :p Ok, let’s get to some concrete negative comments:

  1. I am staying at 26th floor, but there’s only 1 lift serving even floors ><” Hate waiting for the lift, and I need to stumble upon many stops too, before coming down to G floor.
  2. Called house-keeping to get me a universal AC power plug, but waited for more than 20 minutes. Not just that, they brought me a malfunctioning plug! Really sweat. So called again and waited for awhile. That time, my laptop battery was already running very very very low.
  3. Balcony is locked! So-claimed, for resident’s safety. I want to take some night view pictures also cannot.
  4. Free broadband access is provided, with pass-code to be renewed daily. However, the Cat 5 network cable given is a bit short. Not long enough to reach the access point from the table at living room, without moving the table away from center of the TV.


OK, that’s all some negative comments I have for Aston Rasuna. On the positive side are:

  1. Security is good. Each bag and baggage is scanned at hotel entrance, and there’s also a security check-point before coming into Rasuna residential compound.
  2. Penthouse is very spacious :D (if I say this one more time, sure kena hantam when I back to office)
  3. Bed sheets, furnitures, toilet and cupboards are very clean.
  4. Breakfast is satisfyingly good. I love the fruit juices.
  5. There’s a Blue Bird taxi station outside of Aston Rasuna. So, convenient and reliable transportation mode is readily available.
  6. Swimming pool is designed for swimming, not water-splashing :p (I don’t like a nice-to-see pool with many curves here and there)

OK what’s next? My first impression on Jakarta. Continue reading ‘My Comments on Aston Rasuna, and First Impression on Jakarta’

I’m at Aston Rasuna

LCCT Malaysia

AK954 Boarding Pass

AirAsia aircraft

Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta International Airport

Boarded from LCCT, and arrived at Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta International Airport on Sunday at 2.45PM (GMT+07:00). Will be in Jakarta for work, till Thursday.

I couldn’t find any Blue Bird taxi counter at the airport. So, walked to Garuda Bird counter, and was quoted for 200k Rupiah for my destination - Aston Rasuna. As Edwin (he was here last week) paid the same amount too, so ok la… at least I’m not paying more :p

Even though I purchased Garuda Bird ticket, but I wasn’t greeted by a formal taxi labeled with company logo. In fact, it was a normal black Suzuki MPV just like any private car. To be on the safe side, I actually fired up my GPS to make sure that the taxi was taking the right route :p

There was a bit of jam, but considered quite a mild one.

When I did my check-in at Aston Rasuna receptionist, I was told that there’s no more non-smoking executive suite. For a second, I was like “ha??? booked adi one wo~~”

Then, the receptionist said “Sir, we offer you a free upgrade to 2-bedroom penthouse at no extra charge” Continue reading ‘I’m at Aston Rasuna’
