Transfer Information for Ancol Station in Jakarta

It is not possible to transfer to another commuter line while at Stasiun Ancol.

Technically, you have two different transfer stations nearby if you are at Ancol – Kampung Bandan and Jakarta Kota.

The closest transfer station is Kampung Bandan.

Once you arrive at Kampung Bandan you can transfer from the Pink Line to the Yellow Line, or vice versa. The Yellow Line connects Jatinegara Station with locations to the south of Jakarta such as Bogor, Nambo and Depok.

The second transfer option is Jakarta Kota Station.

This is even more convenient than Kampung Bandan because it has three lines intersecting there – the Red, Pink and Blue. The Red heads directly south and will allow you to reach Bogor, whereas the Blue travels to Bekasi and Cikarang.

To summarize, if you are at Ancol, go to Kampung Bandan if you want to access the Yellow Line. Alternatively, go to Jakarta Kota to transfer to either the Blue or Red Line.

What is located around Stasiun Ancol?

Stasiun Ancol, as the name suggests, is located very close to Taman Impian Jaya Ancol – arguably the most popular amusement park complex in Jakarta.

When you arrive at Ancol Station you will be about 750 meters south of one of the entrances to the park. You can walk to the gate in about 10 minutes.

But due to the immense size of the Taman Impian Jaya Ancol, it makes more sense to be driving. The park is simply not completely practical for walking families. Taman Impian Jaya Ancol has plenty of attractions to check out and visiting there can easily take up an entire day (if not more).

To the northwest of Stasiun Ancol you can also access various boats that depart daily for the 1000 islands. They are docked to the west of the park.

Ancol Station is also quite close to one of Jakarta’s best electronic-shopping districts – Mangga Dua. To access these malls, travel one station west of Ancol to Kampung Bandan.  From there you can either walk to drive to the following shopping centers: WTC Mangga Dua, Mangga Dua Square, ITC Mangga Dua, Mangga Dua Mall and Pasar Pagi Mangga Dua.

These malls primarily specialize in electronics, and some affordable textiles. Expect lower prices in the Mangga Dua area in comparison to many of Jakarta’s more modern shopping districts.

Most of the closest accommodation choices near Stasiun Ancol are apartments.

This is primarily the case because the station is close to the seafront, and therefore, locals are trying to rent and capitalize on the view.

One of the best apartments according to verified guest reviews is Peggy Apartemen Ancol Mansion. It is only 800 meters away from  Ancol Station which should take you about 10 minutes to walk there or a few minutes to drive there.

Here are some additional apartments near the station, but you will notice that they tend to receive much lower review scores:

Studio City View Ancol Mansion by Maya 2 (650 m/8 minute walk)

Family Studio Ancol Mansion Apartment – Travelio (850 m/11 minute walk)

Studio City View Ancol Mansion by Maya 1 (650 m/8 minute walk)

3BR Ocean City View Ancol Mansion by Maya (850 m/11 minute walk)

All distances and times are in relation to Stasiun Ancol.

It might also be a smart alternative to stay closer to Kampung Bandan Station where there are more budget hotels available. Some of the better ones include  

Le Grandeur Mangga Dua Hotel

d’primahotel Mangga Dua

Ibis Jakarta Mangga Dua Hotel

d’primahotel Mangga Dua 2

Hotel Neo Mangga Dua Square

Of these  Le Grandeur Mangga Dua Hotel probably has the largest selection of services and amenities, but it is also a bit dated.

Ancol is also only two stops away from Jakarta Kota Station – the perfect gateway to Kota Tua (the Dutch colonial area of West Jakarta).

Due to its proximity to Taman Impian Jaya Ancol, Mangga Dua and Kota Tua, Ancol Station is located in a good spot for shopping enthusiasts, historians or families visiting Jakarta.
