If you come to Jakarta for partying as a group of friends, for instance for a bachelor party , it is a good idea to book an entire apartment instead of a normal hotel. First, you can make great savings by splitting the cost of your stay among a few friends. Second, staying in an apartments make it easier to organize a party at home before heading out. This can save you more money especially if you buy a few bottles of spirits at the airport before flying to Jakarta (1 bottle per person allowed). Even if you don't know anybody in the city yet, spend an hour on Tinder or any other popular dating sites as soon as your plane lands. I guarantee that if you are friendly and not creepy, you can easily get a girl and her friends to join your party. The key word here is " not creepy ": Just be cool, don't expect anything else than a fun evening. You will see that the promise of free booze and pizza in a nice downtown apartment can make you very popular.
