Jakarta Luxury: Unbelievable 2BR Bassura City Oasis Awaits!
Jakarta Luxury: Bassura City's "Unbelievable" Oasis… Is it Really? A Deep Dive (and a Few Rants)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I just spent a week at Jakarta Luxury: Unbelievable 2BR Bassura City Oasis Awaits! and I'm here to spill the tea. Or, you know, the lukewarm coffee I got from the in-room coffee/tea maker. Let's get real about this place. It claims to be unbelievable. We'll see about that.
First Impressions (And a Minor Panic Attack About Access):
Right away, I had to confront the elephant in the room (or, you know, the potentially non-existent ramp in the parking lot): Accessibility. Look, I booked this place primarily because it advertised a lot of amenities. But if I'm being honest, my immediate thought was: “Please, please, PLEASE tell me this isn’t a multi-story building with only stairs. I need to get up there with my luggage.” The review on the internet said it had access to the elevator, but nothing was said about other wheelchair features.
Score: B- (Needs More Info! I was lucky to have someone help me)
(Whispers: The review was vague, but the elevator made things possible, despite the lack of ramp in the parking lot.)
Getting Around (and My Ongoing Love-Hate Relationship With Jakarta Traffic):
Accessibility & Convenience: Okay, they advertise Airport Transfer which I used. Saved me the headache of trying to navigate Jakarta traffic myself. The Car Park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], and Valet parking options are nice, especially since parking in Jakarta is a gladiatorial sport. The Taxi service is readily available, too. Score: A for Effort
The "Unbelievable" Room (Spoiler Alert: It’s… Comfortable):
So, the two-bedroom suite was the real draw. And yes, it was… comfortable. The Air conditioning was a lifesaver (hello, Jakarta humidity!). They did a decent job with the Room sanitization between stays. The Air conditioning in public area was great. The Blackout curtains were essential for sleeping off my jet lag, and I'm a huge fan of having an Extra long bed. It was advertised as a Non-smoking room too, which I appreciated. The Free bottled water, Complimentary tea, and Coffee/tea maker are little touches, but honestly, I was really hoping for something a bit more exciting than lukewarm instant coffee. Score: B+ (Comfortable, but not exactly "unbelievable")
Room Amenities: The Details Matter (Especially the Slippers!)
Honestly, the room was well-equipped. Bathrobes, Slippers, a Mirror next to a Hair dryer (thank goodness!), a Safe for my passport, a Desk for working (or pretending to work), and a surprisingly decent Seating area perfect for collapsing after a long day. They have Linens and good quality Towels. And yes, the Alarm clock did its job. Having Internet access – LAN and Internet access – wireless was awesome! Score: A- (The amenities are almost amazing)
The Bathroom: A Tale of Two Showers (and a Possible Bathroom Phone Mystery)
The Private bathroom was… fine. Separate shower/bathtub was good for me. But I swear there was a Bathroom phone. I couldn’t find it! The thought that someone might be calling from the bathroom made me laugh. Score: B (The bathroom was good enough. I'm still looking for the phone.)
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Culinary Adventure (with Some Bumps)
Alright, here’s where things get interesting. Let's start with the good. The Asian cuisine in restaurant was actually pretty darn good. The Western cuisine in restaurant was good too. The Breakfast [buffet] was available. But! The Coffee shop was a bit… basic. The Poolside bar was a lifesaver for those scorching afternoons. They offered both A la carte restaurant and Buffet in restaurant. Score: B (mixed. The options were there, but the quality was a roll of the dice.)
The "Unbelievable" Spa & Relaxation Zone (Promises, Promises…):
Now, here’s where I got really excited, and then… slightly deflated. The Spa sounded amazing, and the advertised Sauna, Massage, Spa/sauna, and Steamroom got my inner zen-master tingling. The Pool with view was indeed lovely. I did end up using the Swimming pool [outdoor]. They also have a Foot bath. But I'm gonna be honest, the Body scrub was a bit… harsh. They also provide Body wrap. Score: C+ (Some good, some, well, not so good.)
Cleanliness, Safety, and the COVID-era Dance:
Okay, let’s talk about the elephant in the room – the whole pandemic situation. I was genuinely impressed with the efforts to maintain cleanliness. They advertised Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, and Hand sanitizer all over the place. They had First aid kit, Hot water linen and laundry washing, and Hygiene certification,. Individually-wrapped food options. I saw Physical distancing of at least 1 meter. I have to give them credit. They also have a great Room sanitization option, Staff trained in safety protocol and Sterilizing equipment. Score: A (Seriously, top marks for COVID-19 safety)
Services and Conveniences: The Good, The Bad, and the Somewhat Baffling:
Facilities for disabled guests was a plus. Concierge was helpful. Daily housekeeping kept the place tidy. Dry cleaning was a godsend. Laundry service was great. They had Elevator too! They have Invoice provided. They did have a Convenience store, but it was pretty bare-bones. And I'm still not entirely sure what the Shrine was all about. Score: B+ (Lots of conveniences, but some felt a bit… tacked on.)
For the Kids: (I didn't bring any, but…):
- They have Babysitting service
- They have Family/child friendly services.
- They have Kids facilities.
The Verdict: Is it "Unbelievable"? Mmm, Not Quite.
Look, Jakarta Luxury: Unbelievable 2BR Bassura City Oasis Awaits! is a decent place. It’s comfortable, clean (seriously, top marks for cleanliness), and the amenities are plentiful. However, "unbelievable"? That's a stretch. The spa experience was a mixed bag, the dining options were hit or miss, and the "unbelievable" factor was missing. I'd rate it more like a solid 4 out of 5. Would I go back? Maybe. Would I recommend it? Sure, with a few caveats about managing expectations. Just maybe pack your own coffee.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because you're about to get a messy, unfiltered peek into my Jakarta adventure – with a starting point of a "Modern 2BR at Bassura City Apartment By Travelio." Honestly, the apartment sounds promising in the description, like minimalist chic with a touch of… well, whatever the hell "Bassura City" actually is. Let's see how it all shakes out, shall we? This is me winging it, people.
Day 1: Arrival & Jakarta Jitters (Plus, Apartment Inspection – Fingers Crossed!)
- Morning (Jakarta Time - which is probably whenever the hell the plane lands, right?):
- 7:00 AM (ish) - The Great Airport Shuffle: Landed at Soekarno-Hatta International. Already sweating. Humidity level: Expert. My carefully packed "light layers" strategy seems…optimistic. Finding my pre-booked GoCar (hail to the digital gods!) felt like navigating a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Seriously, how does everyone just know where to go in that chaos?
- 8:30 AM (more or less) – The Apartment Hunt Begins: Finally, finally arrive at the Bassura City apartment. My inner monologue is screaming, "IS THE AC WORKING?? IS IT CLEAN???" The Travelio app reviews were a mixed bag – you know, the usual "amazing!" vs. "smells faintly of…something."
- 9:00 AM – Apartment Verdict: Okay, deep breaths. The apartment…it’s… fine. Definitely modern-ish. The photos were definitely touched up, but hey, it's clean-ish, and the AC is blowing out frigid air. Thank god. The view from the window? Concrete jungle with a splash of questionable plumbing. Embrace the "local charm," right? (Secretly, I'm judging the hell out of those curtains.)
- 9:30 AM – Errands and First Bites: Time to hit the mini-mart for snacks. This is crucial. Jet lag + unfamiliar surroundings + existential dread = a necessity for sugary snacks and, obviously, instant noodles.
- Afternoon:
- 12:00 PM – Lunch, Maybe? Found a warung (small local eatery) nearby. The menu was a glorious, bewildering tapestry of Indonesian words. I pointed. I hoped. I ended up with something that tasted vaguely of deliciousness and a suspicious amount of chili. My tongue is burning, but my soul is happy.
- 2:00 PM - City Exploration Attempt: The heat is brutal. I tried to be a brave explorer and walk to…I don't even remember where. Somewhere with a temple. Got about five minutes down the road before I had to retreat. Defeated.
- 3:00 PM - Back to the Apartment, and Despair: Back to the AC. I need a cold shower, a nap, and a strong cocktail. (Wait, do they have cocktails in Indonesia? We'll figure that out.
- 4:00 PM – Nap Time (and Dream of AC)
- Evening:
- 7:00 PM – Dinner Adventure (or Disaster?): This is where things get interesting. I have grand plans to eat satay. I've heard the stories, seen the pictures, and I’m ready to brave the street food. Wish me luck (and pray my stomach doesn’t hate me).
- 8:00 PM - Satay Struggle: Found a satay stand, and it was glorious. But also overwhelming. So many vendors, all yelling, all grilling…I just pointed a lot. The meat was smoky, delicious, and a bit… chewy. Worth it.
- 9:00 PM – Netflix and Chill (alone… in a foreign apartment… feeling slightly lonely): Jet lag is kicking in hard. Time for Netflix. Maybe read the reviews again, just to make sure there aren't any actual ghosts in this apartment.
Day 2: Culture Shock & Caffeine Craziness
- Morning:
- 9:00 AM – Wake Up, Regret Nothing: Survived satay! Feeling pretty good. Time to see if my breakfast of instant noodles did the trick.
- 10:00 AM – The Old Town (Kota Tua): This is where the "culture" part of the trip kicks in. Jakarta’s old town! Apparently it’s a historical district. I'm picturing crumbling buildings, cobblestone streets, and maybe a ghost or two.
- 11:00 AM– Kota Tua: A Reality Check: Okay, so… the old town is a bit like a theme park of history. The buildings are cool, if slightly… neglected. Lots of people peddling stuff, and a general vibe of organised chaos. But hey, I got pictures.
- 12:00 PM – Cafe Crawl of Despair and Delight: Found a trendy cafe. Coffee is the lifeblood. And the pastries? Sinful. And I’m judging everyone who is judging me.
- Afternoon:
- 1:00 PM - Museum Hopping: Apparently, there are museums! I tried to go to one. It involved more heat and the possibility of getting incredibly lost. Found myself wandering around feeling bewildered.
- 3:00 PM – The "Lost Tourist" Experience: Okay, so got utterly lost. Wandered around, sweating and muttering to myself. This is what they call "authentic travel," right?
- Evening:
- 7:00 PM – Dinner and (Hopefully) No Food Poisoning: Okay, I'm feeling brave. Tonight, I'm attempting nasi goreng! And maybe, just maybe, I'll try to order in Indonesian, even if it’s just "satu, terima kasih." Wish me luck.
- 8:00 PM - Nasi Goreng Nirvana: The nasi goreng was amazing. I mean, truly, ridiculously good. Simple, flavorful, just perfect. I’m starting to forgive Jakarta for the whole heat thing.
- 9:00 PM – Reflecting on the Day (and Counting My Blessings - mostly for AC): Bedtime. Tired. Happy. Slightly charred from the sun. Tomorrow, the adventure continues… or maybe I'll just hide out in the apartment and read a book. I'm keeping my options open.
Day 3: Shopping, Serendipity, and Saying Goodbye (Maybe?)
Morning:
- 10:00 AM – Retail Therapy (or Panic Buying?): Time for shopping. Gotta get souvenirs, right? I'm picturing myself as the cultured traveller, browsing local markets, finding unique treasures. Reality: probably malls.
- 11:00 AM – Mall Mayhem: Okay, so the malls are HUGE. Like, massive. And all the shops seem to be the same.
Afternoon:
- 1:00 PM – Accidental Adventure: This actually happened! I stumbled upon a local art market! It was filled with amazing things, and I bought a painting and a hat (which I immediately lost).
- 3:00 PM – The Great "Going Home" Debate: Today is a good day. Is going home good or bad at all? This really depends on the weather.
Evening:
7:00 PM – Farewell Dinner (or Last Ditch Effort to Avoid Food Poisoning): I'm thinking of trying something I've always wanted to try. Something that looks tasty, but risky.
8:00 PM – Food Review: Food was, again, amazing. Maybe Jakarta is finally getting to me.
9:00 PM – Packing Blues (and Appreciation for AC): I'm leaving tomorrow. Suddenly, I'm getting melancholy. Jakarta, you chaotic, confusing, delicious beast. I'll miss you. Especially your AC.
Day 4: Departure & Post-Trip Regret
- Morning:
- 8:00 AM – Airport Round Two: Time to leave. Jakarta, you were… an experience.
- 10:00 AM – Plane Ride Fun: Landed and all good.
- 12:00 PM - Back at Home: Sigh.
- Afternoon - and Beyond:
- Reflecting:
- The apartment? Meh. Functional.
- Jakarta? Hot, hectic, and unexpectedly awesome.
- Would I go back? Absolutely. Once I’ve recovered from the jet lag. And the heat. And the mystery chili.
- Overall, a good trip that I'd definitely do again. Hopefully, I'll find my hat.
- Reflecting:
Jakarta Luxury: Unbelievable 2BR Bassura City Oasis Awaits! - Seriously, What's the Deal? (FAQ)
Okay, spill. Is this place *actually* luxurious? Because "luxury" gets thrown around so much these days, it's practically meaningless.
Alright, alright, deep breaths. "Luxury" *can* be a lie. I get it. But, and this is a BIG but, this Bassura City apartment... yeah, it leans *into* the luxury. I mean, the lobby alone is more impressive than most hotels I've stayed in! It's all marble and shimmering lights. Not my usual scene, to be honest, I’m more of a "avoid pristine" kinda gal. But hey, first impressions, am I right? And the pool! Oh, the pool. More like a lagoon with a swim-up bar (which, let's be honest, is a game changer in Jakarta heat). So, yes, it's luxurious. In a slightly overwhelming, "did I accidentally wander into a movie set?" kind of way.
Two bedrooms... what if I'm travelling solo? Seems a waste, right?
Look, I get the wastefulness. Single person, two bedrooms? Sounds excessive, a little Marie Antoinette. But, (and I'm speaking from experience here, because I stayed there alone *for* a while, and it’s a little sad, actually) it’s… *glorious*. One bedroom for your… *things*—you know, clothes, that random collection of seashells you've been hanging onto, that book you swore you'd read three years ago that you still haven't. And the other bedroom as your actual sanctuary. A place to escape. Think of it as a REALLY fancy hotel room, but with more space to roll around in. Plus, you can always invite someone, right? Maybe you can make some friend to join you there!
Bassura City? I'm not familiar with that area. Is it… convenient? Is it safe?
Convenience: Yup. Safety: Mostly. Bassura City is a pretty well-developed area. You've got shopping malls literally across the street (seriously, you can practically smell the food court from the balcony!), restaurants, grocery stores… everything you could need. Cabs and ride-sharing services are plentiful. Safety-wise, the complex itself is super secure, with guards and cameras everywhere. Now, stepping outside the complex? Standard Jakarta precautions apply. Keep your wits about you, be mindful of your belongings, but it's not like you're wandering into a war zone. Just, y'know, don't flash your Rolex at the street vendors. (Unless you have one and want to make some really, REALLY good friends.)
The view from the balcony – is it anything to write home about?
Okay, let me tell you about the view. (deep breath) It depends. If you're expecting sweeping vistas of rice paddies, you might be disappointed. It's Jakarta. You're looking at… other buildings. And roads. And maybe a distant glimpse of the sea if you squint *really* hard. BUT! The *cityscape* is impressive at night. All those twinkling lights! And, honestly, I spent a shameful amount of time just sitting out there, sipping something cold and watching the world go by. It’s mesmerizing in its own way. Plus, the balcony furniture is comfy. REALLY comfy. I almost considered sleeping out there one night, but the AC… oh, the AC is a big deal in Jakarta.
Okay, let's talk reality. What's the catch? There *has* to be a catch. Is the internet abysmal? Are the neighbors playing thumping dangdut all night?
Alright, the brutal honesty section! First, the internet: It can be… temperamental. Mostly okay, good enough for streaming, but if you’re relying on a flawless connection for a super-important Zoom meeting, maybe have a backup plan. Or, you know, take an important break. Second, noise: Look, you're in Jakarta. Expect noise. Dangdut? Yes, at some point, you will hear it. It's the soundtrack to life, right? But, the apartment itself is fairly well-insulated, so it's more of a background thing and not a constant, ear-splitting assault. The worst thing? The traffic. You can hear the horns from the balcony. But again, Jakarta. It’s just part of the deal. And honestly, it's a small price to pay for that pool, that comfy balcony, and, you know, the whole "living in luxury" thing!
The kitchen. Is it actually usable? Or is it just for show? Because I like to cook. (No, really, I do!)
The kitchen. Okay, here is were there is some love-hate going on. *It's* mostly usable. It's not a chef's kitchen, by any stretch of the imagination. It has the basics – a hob, a microwave, a fridge, some pots and pans. It's probably not going to inspire you to embark on a culinary journey of epic proportions. I had a real moment of desperation one week to cook, and I had to get some extra knives and other kitchen utensils, but in the end it worked out. There are some basic things you can do, and that's what matters. You will be fine I promise. And let’s be honest, Jakarta has some *amazing* food. Like, you might find yourself *wanting* to cook less. You just might.
Overall, would you recommend it? Be honest!
Okay, here's the brutal, unfiltered truth. Honestly? Yes. Absolutely, yes. Despite the potential internet woes and the occasional dangdut beat. It’s a fantastic base for exploring Jakarta, and a nice place to hide when the city gets overwhelming. Sure, it might not be "authentically" Jakarta. But after a while in the city, you will realize that a big, comfy bed, the AC, and that goddamn gorgeous pool are worth their weight in gold. You can venture out when you are ready to do the messy thing, and you have your safe harbour to go back to. And lets be honest, the luxury part is pretty damn nice. It’s a pretty great place to unwind and feel like you're actually on vacation, even if you're not. So, yeah, go. Book it. You deserve it. And if you see me there by the pool, buy me a cocktail, will ya?
