"A few more hotels like this one and Jakarta just might shed its “only on business” reputation. Kosenda Hotel is the kind of fresh, inventive, authentic boutique hotel that just about any city in the world would love to call its own. Like most of the best boutique hotels, this one is the product of a very involved founder — Ruben Kosenda is a local entrepreneur, an experienced traveler, and a man who knows originality when he sees it." - Tablet Hotels
