Hotel is dated but clean and staff are friendly and approachable. Unfortunately there are lots of mosquitoes especially at the lobby area and guest receptions area. These are in the hotel and not outside. Best to eliminate this at its their first impressions when we come in and where guests sit around at the lounge cafe enjoying pastries and coffee. Can't stay long with all the mosquitoes.

I requested a non-smoking room but the front desk staff insisted that I requested a smoking room so she gave me a smoking room. I showed her from my reservation that I requested non-smoking room but she was unable to give me a non-smoking room. She gave me a “flexible” room where smoking is optional (basically a smoking room then??!!) and the room smelled cigarette. Pool was very nice, breakfast was good, there are a lot of attractions nearby.

The Discovery Ancol is quiet and clean but shows visible signs of being a dated hotel. The staff were quite attentive and professional.

The best hotel in Ancol area.
The hotel quality is beyond my expectation since I stayed here when the hotel name was Raddin Hotel about 20 yrs ago. It's a much much better hotel now. I need a family room but I mistakenly booked deluxe room. I asked the receptionist whether I can upgrade to family room with additional price but family room was fully booked. Then the very kind receptionist gave me a surprise: she upgraded my room to suite room with no additional charges! The room was huge with 2 toiletes, 1 bathtub+1 shower, 2 tvs, 1 living room, 2 queen size comfortable spring bed, and a very large window. I will definitely stay again in this hotel whenever I visit Ancol

Major refurbishment work through the night
Could be a nice hotel, stuck away in one corner of the Ancol theme/holiday park. Unfortunately, 20-45 mins walk to anything of interest (restaurants, bars) alongside water drainage ditches with a healthy population of mosquitos and rats. What should have been a shorter and more pleasant walking/jogging path across Ecopark to Mercure hotel was closed at Discovery hotel end. Further detrimental, building work going on during major refurbishment day and night. Being woken at 03:30am to the sound of drills and cloud of brick dust floating over the pool area is not ideal when you have jet lag from +8h time difference and are working in conference rooms 14 hours an day. Not recommended for business travellers.

Great place for family gathering
checking in was taking such a long time. I have to queue for about 20 minutes probably. Once it was my turn, the process itself also take about 15-20 minutes, and I have to wait around 1 hour for my room to be ready as it was not cleaned yet. Not forgetting that the hotel change the room that I booked as the room was out. Other than the check-in, facilities was fantastic. We travelled with lots of families member and the room was spacious

Away from pollution & traffic.
Hotel great, just a little way to go on customer service. Discovery are still on with their refurb,it's looking good. This is a great place to stay away from pollution & traffic. Ancol has great food & bars. The down side to Ancol like everywhere we go in Indonesia no investment looking tired, yes you are by the sea but would you swim no! Also make sure you get a receipt from the hotel or you will have to pay everytime you renter Ancol. We would say that overall tourism is next nonexistent. Indonesia needs to get its act together.

hospitality at its best
i have been to many hotels but the hospitality i received from this hotel was unique. From the reception staff to the housekeeping staff , each and every one gave personal attention to us. I must specially appreciate the restaurant staff. we were so surprised to the level of care they took to us. when they found that my 5 year old kid is having problem with finding Indian food, the restaurant manager came up to us and offered us Indian styled curry and rice which was not in the menu. and for the breakfast he offered Indian style tea which made us feel more homely...the kids activities and the pool is great and the health club is superb with very experienced staff who gave us nice massage. the prices where not expensive, the hotel itself is ideally located around the attractions of Ancol. if you are travelling with your family this is the best place to choose. we stayed in the top floor. the room was a bit hot may be because it was to top most floor and the roof was quiet high and there was no false sealing. otherwise the room is very clean with good view. surroundings are clean and safe.
