At 23th of August 2025. In my wallet there was 430 US dollars. Presumably around at 11:00 am, 200 USD was stolen from staff, probably cleaning employee or maybe other employee. It seems around 11:00 am is a check-out time and it is the time when cleaning takes place. Around 11:00 am, i went to take a bath. With my personal belonings left at the room exposed wide open as the door has a security QR system for entrance. No one other than myself and employee can enter the room. There is several reasons why i can 99.9% assure that the theft took place here. -since my arrival in jakarta, i have never used cash, i only used my card. therefore possibility of a US dollar bill having fallen out mistakenly from mypart is excluded. -for thefts that usually happen at these hostels from employees, they usually take 30%-50% of the money. It makes harder for owner to realize immediately and easily that the money is stolen. Also stealing entire cash would force owner to file a police report more likely. -i always take a good care of my stuff, i always keep my wallet, cellphone, passport in a hip-sack(small bag). Whether i go for a restaurant or coffe shop, i never wear it off. -when i left for a bath at 11:00 am 23th of august, i remember my hip-sack was left open on a desk(immediately noticeable if the door was open), as it was my personal space. -I check my wallet very often whenever i use card, until 22th of august 2025, there was no problem. -If hostel wishes to check cctv for internal review check this time as well as 01:00-04:00 am of 23th of august 2025 -i will update number of my room soon after THIS REVIEW IS NOT INTENDED TO DAMAGE THE REPUTATION OF THE BUSINESS. IT IS POSTED FOR PUBLIC SAFETY AND BENEFIT. I URGE FOR ALL TO PLEASE TAKE GOOD CARE OF VALUABLE ITEMS, EVEN IF GOING FOR A TOILET, BATH, SMOKE, OR WHATEVER. MESSAGE TO THE BUSINESS OWNER OR PERSONNEL in charge of this business establishment. With a theft from an employee from your side cause financial loss and psychological damge to customers. It also damages the reputation of your business establishment. I will share a review of this incident for google and a booking site that i made a reservation from. DO NOT TRY TO TAKE DOWN THE REVIEW AS I WILL SPEND MY EVERY EFFORTS TO KEEP AND SHARE THIS REVIEW FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD. For the person who stole money. Please do not steal money. You are shaming your country and your fellow colleagues.

This accommodation is on the second floor, there are only stairs. You may have difficulty if you have quite heavy luggage because there is no lift. At 9 pm the Fatahillah Park area is closed, so you must explain to the officer that you are staying here.If you are confused about finding this accommodation, you will find the entrance visible from Fatahillah Park, not from the road. There is sufficient parking area for cars and motorbikes.Overall quite clean.
