This is MongerX's post from my guide.

Credit the following text to MX:

The second is Hotel Travel. This place is quite the fresh breathe of air from the usual Kota joints and their loud dark atmosphere and mediocre ST rooms. To get here exit Lokasari Plaza turning left, turn right at the first corner past Hotel Astika. On this street you will see Atlantis Spa on your left. Continue about 200 meters and Hotel Travel is the grey building on your left. Don't enter in to the lobby, but rather the buildning entrance to your left. Must be about 30 girls in here, and I have hads some excellent sessions here. This place tends to have more curvy, hard body (not fat) girls than true spinners. I think TC's right now is the tiny spinner hot spot now.

I really liked this place alot, MX took me here 2x and I had two outstanding sessions. They must have had about 25-30 gals each time, all made up and dressed nicely. Seems the gals here are lower volume and a half dozen are doable IMO.

The facilities are very new, modern, clean and its a huge place w/lots of chrome chairs, tables and nice furniture. It almost seems like it could be used as a nice disco/karoake. They open at 2 and I think they close at 2am. It was not busy each time we went.

I liked this place too, the standard of girls was good, their performance excellent and the facilities much better and cleaner than everywhere else I went. The Mamasaans and Papasaan there were also really good, not pushy and very friendly. I liked the shower in the room, aircon and porn videos in the room too. My favourite short-term place in Jakarta so far for these reasons.

One thing good about this place is that all the girls are seated on sofas on a slightly raised platform, so none of mamasans dragging girls to you and pestering you. No "fishbowl", and Crazier was great as he went up to the gals and mingled with them for an up-close and personal observation.

There are also dark alcoves w/ sofas where you can "interview" the gals. You can also buy a huge pitcher of beer you can buy.

The Executive Rooms were about 10 bucks more than the standard room, really funky decor but very clean and nice. The whole place reminded me of the nicer Entertainment complexes on Rachada in BKK.

Kudos needs to be given to Hotel Travel as they have brought in some good new fresh blood. I recently tried out tow of the new stock.

The first girl is Boolan, a tall pretty girl with a sparse pubic hair and an nice firm body with stand up titties. Service was Jakarta decent but not great.

The second girl is named Della, a real pretty face to me and a heavenly curvy petite body. Evidently she previously worked at MTR bar. Service was Jakarta decent but not great.

There were definately at least 3 or 4 other new faces I want to try in here.

Yum. Fuck! Let me go cry in my wheaties.

While there has been slowing down in PenJay and TC's due to recent raids, I am pleased to report that Travel Hotel is BLOWING UP.

I was in Jakarta with Crazier and our friend Chilisquid. While I was growing roots over at my latest favorite place, Chilisquid kept texting me that there were lots of hotties over at TH. In fact he reported finding a slender hottie with huge firm bolt on titties that he ended up visiting three times that weekend.

Furthermore, I had heard that TH had added either added (or transformed itself yet again) in a health center. Rumor was that you could get a BM (a soapie light) with 1/2 and 1/2 all for 250K.

So I eventually went over to check the place out my last afternoon. Walking into the usual disco entrance, I get met with some new changes as there is a bit more of a reception and I was given the typical wrist band with a numbered medallion. Then as I entered the main disco hall I could see that the set-up of this big area had not changed. However there was definitely something new in the sofa seating areas this Sunday afternoon.

Holy Cow is all I could think as Mommy Lilly (the petite middle aged chinese one) greeted me as the long lost good customer I am. Mommy Lilly usually has a good quality stock of about 20-25 girls. Now my mouth had dropped as there were 35 girls one the sofa now and atleast 15 of them were new. Also the new recruits had really brought up the average.

Mommy Lilly told me she now had over 40 girls and was eager to show me some new recruits. I have always told her I like girls who give great service who are not fatties. By far she is the best Mommy in Jakarta for me and her recc's are always right on. She quickly called over two new girls who weren't the hottest, but one was kind of cute and petite and the other had a really tight spinner body but a face that would scare rodents.

However, this upgrade was only have the story. On the sofas at the opposite end sat another group 25 new girls. These girls all wore the same white outfits with leapord prints accents.
I asked Mommy Lilly about those girls, and she said the belong to a new mommy.

Well let's not act hastily and take a look. The new girls belong to Mommy Putri, and these girls are all available to do the Body Massage for 250K all inclusive or they can do the usual ST thingie for $215K. She brought these girls from Sumo and MTR 2 in Kelapa Gading and Hotel Boutique. These are all upscale joints, so I imagine the service is quite good. In the end I thought Mommy Lilly girls were hotter.

Since Mommy Lilly has givenme some gems I eventually went for her rec. and was pleased. However, next time I am definitely gonna give a BM girl a spin and ceck out the spa facilities.

Have you met the tall Chinese (I think) guy who seems to be a manager there? Where does he fit in? I've chatted with him (in English), he seems interested to know that I'm enjoying myself, but I'm not sure who he is...

Yes I have met that guy and he is nice, but I think he is more the bigger manager. But he much more likely to make sure your mie goreng has extra chili then to make your sure your cewek fuck you through the matress.

Mamasan lilly is the one you need to be palming 20K notes and buying the occasional drink for. In my experience she really does her job well in picking good girls and ensuring good service. She is very mild mannered and polite and she takes the time to figure out what you like and does her best to bring you the right girls. When you see a girl you like, she can always be relied upon to give the an accurate assessment of the girl.

Kota mamasans are justifiably bashed here. However, sometimes its better to work the system rather than fight it.

The talent here is off the hook! maybe my fav in kota for looks. with the recent busts in the local area, ceweks are infiltrating this spot. i recognized a couple of old regs from TCs sitting pretty couchside as well as others i believe i've seen in stadium? All four booth areas were full and plenty of hotties. Probably did the best looking girl of my whole trip in this joint. enough talent to keep you busy for a few days, easily.

Was there yesterday around 4pm, agree and confirm what socrates reports.

I counted around 60 girls. Have not seen one single ugly girl. Impressive.
They are divided in two groups.The ones in coloured uniform are more expensive (250 kRp) as extra they provide body massage the other group costs 210 kRp (no body massage).

you can get the coloured uniform girls for cheaper if you forgo the body massage. I believe it'll run you 210 or 220K.

btw, if you want to find blond indo ceweks, this is the place to go. Apparently it's in vogue at this particular establishment.

I can confirm that this place is the most improved p4p place of this trip, the number of girls has easily doubled in size and there were way too many doable girls in here this trip. We noticed that the mamasans control various "sofas" full of girls, either right side or left side as you face the stage. The mamasan on the rightside was a major cunt it appears, kept sending us the worst of the hogs and even pulled a stunner away from MX while he was talking her up. The opposite is true of the mamasans whose fiefdom is the leftside sofas, very accommodating.

I also discovered you can wait until near closing when the booking (LT fee) is reduced to 860K instead of 1.2 mil. Booked a gal with a face and body that could've launched a 1000 ships.

Haha that was probably the first time in History a Jakarta mamasan pulled a girl away from a customer. She was a hottie. But I think those mamasans on the right side hate me for the HUGE volume of biz I toss to mommy Lilli and the left hand side sofas.

Stupid cunts should actually try to win my biz by providing good service. Nahhh it's much easier just to be bitter.

BTW I think the standard 215K rooms are history. I don't mind paying 240K as the rooms are really decent. But I hate that these rooms don't have the great ceiling mirrors those 215K rooms had.

Travel Hotel continues to be the hottest place in Kota. Now they have opened up a billards room and added a third mamasan who girls sit in this new room. She only has 16 girls and it looks like some of them have been recruited from the stock of older (22-25 years old) house girls at TC's. These ex-TC's girls generally have good bods but are more second tier in looks, but the give real great PSE/GFE. I took a girl from this group. She said she was 18, which I think is true if 1 was 2 and 8 was 4. However, she had great big floppy titties and was claimed to be a real live Indo porn star. She said this was her first week ever working as a pro and before she had made a couple of blue DVD's. She was certainlu aggressive and raunchy downstairs give me lap dance, making out, and constantly strokingmy wood. I was sold and upstairs she delivered a real raunchy high intensity session. I even went back and did her a second time.

I was charged 250K for session in a standard room with this mamasan.

Pricing is actually very confusing here and depends upon the mamasan and the room. For the girls on the first two sofas, an a hour in a standard room is 215K, and 240K for a deluxe room. For the other large two sofas, I was quoted 250K and 275K respectively for the standard and deluxe rooms. Also, you will always have a 10K condom charge added to your bill whether you utilize that service or not.

Also, Travel hotel has started putting girls in other establishments and is rotatign them around. Everyday there are some Travel Hotel girls on the first floor of Rasa Sayang in a new more down market looking lounge and the charge is 250K an hour. Also, they are also staffing the upmarket Malioboro one stop entertainment complex. Here they are charging 350K, 800K, and 1000k for the same girls. I think I will wait for them to go back to Travel! Also, they are soon going put some girls in Classics Spa as well. Quite an empire they are building there. Also, I was told that a bunch of new girls are being recruitted to start work after Ramadan as well.

As for the Travel facility itself, I was amazed how popular it is now. The place is in a perpetual buzz with guys and girls constantly cumming and going. Even on a Monday afternoon around 4PM the place was rocking and full of customers.

All rooms are 275K now. Also the girls on the left hand side now have uniforms with sheer plunging neck lines and no bra. Great for checking out racks visually and tactilly.

However, I think Travel is now a victim of its own success. Sure there are tons of girls here. But there are so many customers now as well. And the customers are obviously lots of repeats or guys with good intel. This past week, unless you came right at opening the girls who are good looking and also give good service are just very selodom available. And the girls are currently doing such high volumes enthusiasm in the sessions seems down. I would say you are better off if you can catch the same girl at Marlioboro or the first floor of Rasa Sayang.

To illustrate the ever changing and constantly evolving Jakarta scene, Hotel Travel is way down in terms of talent and amount of ladies now. And it only took two months to do it.

When I was there in November there were easily 100 ladies in the front and at least 50 in the back. I would say numbers are down at least 50% and probably even more.

And the available talent is not up the previous Travel standards. I still like this place a lot. The rooms are nice and the price is reasonable. The atmosphere of the bar and billiards room is top notch and the mamasans are not overly pushy.

But they need to get back to form in terms of talent and numbers. I hope they can do it soon!

Yeah in the last month or so two of the mommies left travel. They took a great number of girls with them. So those girls are still around, you just got know where the mommies moved too.

Also Mommy Lilly, the original mommy at Travel when they where still just a little fish tank on the second floor. Has a very stale and dwindling stock of girls.

The third bad trend is that Travel has a ton of Japanese customers now. This is probably the worst trend as lots of the girls they like are enjoying those spoils and they don't have to take on bule customers. Hopefully, this trend doensn't spread to other kota venues - wishful thinking I know. But on the other hand Stadium 3rd floor has always had steady Japanese biz but never enough to influence things too much. That doesn't appear to be the case at Travel.

I guess I just caught Hotel Travel on a bad night. Numbers in the front and back have been up the past couple of times.

Quality doesn't quite seem to be where it has been in the past. But at least the numbers are back up.

Still love this place and think it has the best atmosphere of any place I have ever been to.

I would place Hotel Travel somewhere on "The World's Best Bordellos" list located here: https://www.clubhombre.com/discus/messages/13/9040.html

travel has gone way downhill. Was there 1 week ago and barely was able to get laid with all the japanese snatching them up....even sms'd mongerx about this! As he states, a couple of the best mommies have also left. The ones that are left are has beens that i've seen for years.

I also think Travel has gone hill, don't recognize any of the mommies and I've had a couple of "cunts" this trip from here. One gal insisted that I use her condom instead of the one I take with me. Now all the gals are condom only types. All the hotties seem to have been shipped over to Malioboro spa. Gals seems spoiled as the place is often packed with mongers.

My last visit in August I concluded that everyplace else in Jakarta rocks..... but for me anyway, Hotel Travel sucks. If I am routinely getting my world rocked everyplace else in town, but routinely end up in unpleasant arguments with the women here, then my conclusion going forward is that I will go everywhere else in town and I will avoid this place. Whether they are hot looking or not, the level of service or lack thereof is simply not stacking up against the level the competition is providing for me.

Just my opinion. I know others would disagree.

Too much internet posts on the place on the www....now alot of traffic by high paying visitors, so most decent looking gals already have 2-3 way expensive phones, and forget about the hotties.... many are sponsored out or have been moved to more expensive places where a hour will cost you 700k plus.

this was my favorite place for years...now i hardly go there anymore.

Sancho: Can you tell us the names of the other spots which IYO rocks!

Rumor is Travel just increased the price to 300K per boink now.

The price had been 285K since I started going in late 2005. They held out on price much longer than a lot of their neighbors at Stadium, the Lokasari area and PangJay.

As of 12 days ago, it was still 285k. bummer if the prices are rising. I didn't think much of the talent there when I was there.

Actually Travel was 215K in late 2005, according to the notes from my first visit. Maybe you were getting the deluxe room back then?

Your notes are probably better than my memory. Looking back now I think I missed Travel on my first visit ion 2005 and didn't start going till mid or late 2006. But as long I can remember, the price has been 285K.

From what I am hearing, the price increase to 300K took effect about a week or so ago.

Yes I was there last week and the price is now 300K. Also, when they first moved from the tiny healthcenter on the second floor into the current huge space, they had tow classes of rooms. The original smaller, older rooms but that have the kick ass ceiling mirror were 215, and the newer rooms were more expensive.

Also, I was in LA Bar and the price is now 260K for the regular girls and 280 for the "freelancers." The girls available seemed to be in the ration of 2-1 in favor of the regular girls. Amazing thing in Jakarta is that the lower priced options like this continue to lose biz and girls while the more expensive places are doing better. I guess there's no recession in Jakarta?

There seems to be more higher paying clients now. There is a shift going on, but penjay is still rocking later on at night on most nights. btw, LA just celebrated their 7th year aniversary.

apparently there have been some cheap charlies coming to jkt, not realizing it's expensive, thus skipping out on the bill. So as of a feb 3 in the pm at hotel travel, you must pay the bill first b4 your session.

Always wondered about their "honor" system employed w/ horny punters. Most guys are looky-loos. Travel also locked the back entrance by the restuarant now. @ Malioboro, and Alexis the guards will not let you exit until you show them a "pass" evidencing payment of the tab.
