The Property — 010101
Stepping into 010101’s lobby feels more like a functional transit lounge than a hotel — neutral colours, budget laminate flooring and a front desk that moves swiftly. It’s a no-frills crash pad for travellers who need a clean bed and working Wi-Fi near the train station, not a resort. If you just need to sleep before a flight or a business meeting four days a week, this three-star does the job with quiet efficiency.
Chronicles of Depok
Depok started as a 17th-century private estate (particulier land) under Dutch rule, then grew into a commuter satellite after Jakarta’s post-independence sprawl. Its name comes from the Sundanese word for ‘hermitage’ or ‘quiet place’, now ironic given the 2.5 million residents. The university strip (Universitas Indonesia campus) dominates the city’s identity, with cheap eateries, photocopy shops and student boarding houses sprawling along the Margonda Raya corridor. Modern Depok is a concrete mix of mid-rise malls, angkot minibuses and newer gated housing colonies, but the old Dutch-era villas near Depok Lama still whisper of its plantation past.
Best Time to Visit
Full Depok guide →Best months
July and August offer the driest skies, with lower humidity and reliable afternoon sunshine, so you can actually use the pool without a downpour.
Peak / festival surge
June to August is peak domestic holiday season (school break and Idul Adha). Hotel prices can jump 20-30%, and the Margonda Raya road crawls with families heading to Depok Town Square mall. No single festival drives it — just mass leisure travel from Greater Jakarta.
Budget shoulder season
October and November are the smart shoulder months: rain hasn’t fully arrived, crowds thin out, and rooms at 010101 can drop 15-20% as students stay home.
Weather & packing
Depok sits in the rain shadow of the Bogor mountains so it’s slightly drier than nearby Jakarta, but sudden tropical downpours still hit between 3-5pm. Pack a light rain jacket and always carry an umbrella, even if the morning is blue.
Live City Briefing — Depok
- The LRT Jabodebek station at Harjamukti (a 15-minute drive east) launched new rush-hour frequency in June 2026, cutting route 010101-to-Cawang commute to 40 minutes.
- Margonda Raya road widening is still active near the UI roundabout — expect single-lane northbound congestion until October 2026. Use the alternative Sawangan Bypass if heading to Jakarta.
- Depok’s new city park (Taman Kota 2) opened in May 2026 behind the BTM mall, with a jogging track and food stalls – safe for an evening stroll but avoid after 10pm.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to 010101, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on floors 4-7, facing away from the main road (ask for 'garden side' or 'rear-facing'). These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise but still low enough for reliable lift access, and the orientation reduces traffic rumble from Jalan Margonda Raya.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1-2 (street-level noise and foot traffic from lobby/reception) and any room facing the front of the hotel, especially directly over the entrance or near the lift bank. Avoid rooms adjacent to the service stairwell or back corridor where staff movement and deliveries occur.
Best views
Rear-facing rooms (courtyard or neighbouring building views) are the quietest. No scenic vista from a 3-star in Depok — best bet is a high floor (5-7) looking over the low-rise neighbourhood, away from the main road.
Quietest floors
Floors 4-7, rear-facing rooms. These are above the main street noise and away from lift lobbies and service areas.
🔊 Noise notes
Depok is a busy university and commuter city. Jalan Margonda Raya has heavy traffic and motorbikes from early morning until late evening. The hotel's lift motor and service entrance may produce low hum on lower floors. Weekend nights can see louder crowds in nearby food stalls and angkringan.
Insider tips
1) If arriving by car, ask for a room on the same floor as the parking level access — the hotel may have multi-storey parking connected to a specific floor (often floor 2 or 3), saving you hauling bags via lift. 2) Check in after 3pm: earlier arrivals often get stuck with leftover low-floor rooms because high floors are still being cleaned.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
