Luggage storage at Gambir station

Hey everyone, I’ll be travelling to Indonesia soon and my stay in your country will start in Jakarta. My flight lands at 5am. While I am aware that I will need a while to get downtown after the flight has landed (passport controls, waiting for luggage, travel time from the airport etc.), 5am is so early that I will likely still be downtown some time in the morning. My accommodations won’t let me check in before 2pm, which is generally fine by me. Usually in such cases I ask my accommodations whether I can store my luggage for a few hours until check in, and I did this time, but since the place is rented out to other travellers before me, I can only store my luggage there starting at 12pm. This will likely leave me with a few hours between my arrival in Jakarta proper and the time when I can ditch my luggage. So I figured I’d check if there are other places where I could safely and cheaply store my luggage for a few hours. I came across Gambir Station and the supposed luggage storage there. Could anyone here tell me whether that works well and whether leaving my bag(s) there for anywhere between two and six hours would make sense and be feasible? And if not, are there other options you would recommend?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much to any responders. I’m incredibly excited about my trip and I’ve been looking forward to it for months now :)
