Jakarta's Chicest Getaway: Transpark Cibubur Studio!
Jakarta's Chicest Getaway: Transpark Cibubur Studio! - A Hot Mess (But in a Good Way!)
Okay, so you’re looking for a staycation. You're in Jakarta, you're over the usual hotels, and you want something… different. Well, buckle up buttercup, because I just dove headfirst into the Transpark Cibubur Studio! and I'm here to spill the (deliciously messy) tea. This isn't your cookie-cutter hotel review; consider this a chaotic, caffeine-fueled rant… I mean, review.

Alright, SEO gods appeased. Now… the fun part.
First Impressions (and a Few Glitches)
Finding the place was an adventure in itself. Jakarta traffic, am I right? Let’s just say Google Maps and I had a… discussion. But eventually, I arrived, and the first thing that hit me was the… well, the size. These studios are surprisingly spacious, especially for Jakarta. I’m talking proper living space, not just a bed crammed into a box. But, and this is a big BUT, the exterior, while modern, is slightly… generic. Think a slightly flashier IKEA catalog materialized into a building. I secretly hoped the "chic" lived inside.
Accessibility: Bless Their Hearts (and a Few Needed Tweaks)
Okay, listen up, this is important. Accessibility is always a win. They have elevators, and I spotted ramps, so major kudos on that. The front desk was helpful, and the lobby felt open and easy to navigate. But I noticed a few things that could be improved. I didn’t spot any Braille signage and the hallways felt a tiny bit narrow in places. Still, far better than many places, and I’m hopeful they’ll continue with their efforts. Accessibility score: 7.5/10 (Room for Improvement, always!)
Rooms: Chic? Maybe. Comfortable? Definitely.
I'm ALL IN on the room. Clean, which is the first win, and honestly, the "studio" part is a bit misleading. It's more like a junior suite. The bed? Heavenly. Honestly, I could have stayed in that bed for a week! Loved the blackout curtains (a lifesaver!), the huge TV with all the channels (hello, Netflix!), and the surprisingly well-equipped kitchen. The free Wi-Fi (yes!) was fast and reliable. The only minor gripe? The lighting could be a little brighter. Room score: 8.5/10
The Internet: Gotta Stay Connected
Crucial, right? Free Wi-Fi in ALL rooms! Bless. The lobby had good signal too, and I think (though I didn't personally test it) there's also Internet [LAN]. The internet services themselves are good, fast, and reliable.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: My Stomach's Happy Place
Okay, this is where things got really interesting. There are a few restaurants on site, serving up Asian cuisine, international cuisine, and the usual buffet restaurant. I’m a sucker for a good Asian breakfast (and they had one!) and the coffee shop served surprisingly decent coffee.
The poolside bar was a definite highlight. Sun, a cold drink, and a view? Yes, please! The happy hour offers were tempting, I’m not gonna lie. I may have taken advantage of some of them. The room service [24-hour] was a godsend after a long day - especially when I realized I was out of snacks. And that bottle of water they leave for you after you check in? Small gesture, big impact.
I’d give the food an 8/10. A little more "wow" factor to the presentation would have lifted it to a 10/10 but don’t get me wrong - delicious.
Things to Do and Ways to Relax: Spa, Gym, and Pool (Oh My!)
Right, so you want to unwind. Excellent choice, because the Transpark Cibubur Studio! has a lot to offer. The swimming pool [outdoor] is absolutely gorgeous. The pool with a view is stunning, and really, it's the perfect place to just… be. I spent a good chunk of the afternoon there, just floating and soaking up the sun. Amazing.
Now, about the spa. I did the massage. Amazing. I was so relaxed, I almost fell asleep. I'm pretty sure the masseuse could hear my stomach rumbling. Let’s just say I walked in with a headache and walked out a new woman. I did not try the Body scrub or Body wrap, but it’s there if you're feeling fancy. They also have a fitness center, a sauna, and a steam room. Basically, all the ingredients for a perfect pamper sesh. Relaxation score: 9/10. The pool alone gets a 10!
Cleanliness and Safety: Feeling Secure (ish)
This is a big one, especially post-pandemic. Did they actually clean? The answer is mostly yes. I got the sense that they are taking this seriously. This place uses Anti-viral cleaning products and there is Daily disinfection in common areas. They are also practicing Physical distancing of at least 1 meter.
They have lots of procedures in place: Hand sanitizers everywhere, Staff trained in safety protocol and the rooms looked sparkling clean. It was a relief. Cleanliness and Safety score: 8.5/10
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
- Air conditioning in public area Check!
- Cash Withdrawal: There is convenience store, yes, so cash is available
- Daily housekeeping: Yes! I loved coming back to a cleaned room
- Essential condiments: They make them readily available
I didn’t need to use some of them, but knowing they're there is a definite plus. I did make use of the concierge who helped me with some basic requests. Service score: 9/10
For the Kids: They've Thought of It!
This is definitely a family-friendly place. From what I saw, it's good for families with kids.
Getting Around:
This is Jakarta, so it's all about dealing with traffic! They offer Airport transfer but I didn't use it. Having car park [free of charge] is a huge win, though, since it's Jakarta.
The Quirks and Imperfections: Because Nothing's Perfect (Thank God!)
Okay, so a few bumps in the road. One of the elevators was a little slow, but who cares?. Also, the music in the lobby on one day was… well, let's call it "questionable." The decor, while stylish, didn't scream "personality." A bit more local art and a little less… bland modern design might elevate the experience. And the signage on some things felt a bit… sparse.
Overall: Worth the Hype? (Maybe a Bit More Than I Expected!)
Look, the Transpark Cibubur Studio! isn’t perfect. It’s got a few quirks, and it’s not exactly cheap (mid-range in Jakarta). But, and this is the important part: It’s a genuinely good experience. It’s clean, comfortable, well-located (assuming you're okay with Jakarta traffic), and offers a genuinely relaxing getaway. The pool? The spa? The comfy bed? All worth it.
Final Verdict: 8.0/10 Definitely recommend for a Jakarta staycation, especially if you want to treat yourself.

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's itinerary! We're going to the Fancy & Nice Studio Transpark Cibubur By Travelio in Jakarta, Indonesia, and let me tell you, it's gonna be a trip. This is less "smooth-sailing cruise" and more "slightly-unhinged rollercoaster," and I'm so here for it.
Day 1: Arrival & Existential Dread in a Fancy Box
14:00 - Jakarta Arrival & Taxi Tango (aka, Where Did My Luggage Go?!) – Landed, survived the customs gauntlet (always terrifying, right?), and emerged blinking into the Jakarta heat. Finding a "reliable" taxi was the first adventure – let's just say I spent a good 15 minutes bargaining with a guy who swore he knew the "shortest route." He didn't. We ended up in a traffic jam that felt like it was personally designed to test my patience.
- Anecdote: My luggage? MIA. Gone. Vanished into the ether. Turns out, it decided to take an extended tour of the baggage carousel. Deep breaths. Managed to flag down a friendly airport staff member, who, after a lot of frantic hand gestures and broken English/Indonesian communication, finally pointed me in the right direction. The relief when I finally saw that familiar (slightly worse-for-wear) suitcase was… profound.
16:00 - Check-In & Apartment Appreciation (and a touch of "Is this real life?") – Finally, finally, arrived at the Fancy & Nice Studio. The Travelio app made the check-in process surprisingly smooth (thank God for modern technology and the lack of needing to talk to someone after those hours of travel chaos. The apartment itself? Spectacular. Okay, maybe not "spectacular," but certainly a step up from the hostel I'm used to. Sleek lines, a tiny kitchenette (yay, instant noodles!), and a view of… well, the other apartment buildings. Still, it’s a damn sight better than a shared dorm room.
- Quirky Observation: Okay… the pillows. They're…firm. Like, "could-be-used-as-a-weapon" firm. I'm pretty sure I'm going to wake up with the beginnings of a crick in my neck. But hey, at least the bed is clean.
17:00 - Deep Sigh & Grocery Store Reconnaissance (aka, Where's the Coffee?!) – Time to hit the local grocery store. This is always a fascinating cultural experience, right? The smells, the languages, the bewildering array of… everything. My mission: acquire coffee (essential), snacks (also essential), and potentially some local fruit I can't identify. Wish me luck!
- Emotional Reaction: I'm already feeling the jet lag kicking in. This weird in-between state of extreme tiredness mixed with a desperate need to do something. Plus the coffee, it's a mission, a necessity.
19:00 - Dinner & "Attempting" to watch TV – Found some truly questionable street food near the apartment. "Chicken Satay, Delicious!" the sign proudly declared. It was indeed flavorful. But the TV situation is another story. Apparently, Indonesian channels are fascinating, even if I only understand about 1% of what's going on.
- Messy Structure & Rambling: The TV has like a bazillion channels, and half of them appear to be soap operas dubbed into, like, three different languages. I've got a half-eaten pile of chicken sticks in front of me, and my brain is just desperately trying to make sense of the world. I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry. Probably both.
21:00 - Crash Land & Pray for Sleep - That's it. No more. Time to close our eyes. I cannot function anymore. That bed. Oh, that bed.
Day 2: Transpark Adventures & Mild Panic Attacks
- 09:00 - Wakey Wakey, Eggs & Existential Breakfast - The pillow tried to murder me in my sleep. But, I have survived. Coffee is brewing… and that is a victory in itself.
- 10: 00 - Transpark Cibubur. Let the Games Begin?? – Today, we delve into the depths of Transpark Cibubur! It's a massive complex, a vibrant playground, a glorious sensory overload. It's meant to have everything. I'm slightly terrified.
- Opinionated Language: This could be brilliant. Or it could be a colossal waste of time. Honestly, I'm leaning towards the latter. But, I'm ready for this.
- 12:00 - Roller Coasters and Stomach of Steel (and the occasional involuntary scream). – The rides. Oh, the rides. I'm not usually a thrill-seeker, but when in Rome, you know? The roller coasters were…intense. And I felt every single bump, loop, and twist. Pretty sure my scream could be heard across the park. But also: fun. Pure, unadulterated, slightly nauseating fun.
- Doubling Down on Experience: I rode the biggest, scariest coaster three times. The second time? Terror. The third time? I felt a strange sense of… mastery? Like I had conquered my fear and my lunch. Which, admittedly, I nearly did on the third ride.
- 14:00 - Water Park Woe (and a near-drowning experience) - Let's be honest, the water park was a mistake. Too many kids, not enough personal space, and this guy, who kept doing backflips into the pool inches away from my head. That adrenaline rush? Not the good kind.
- Stronger Emotional Reaction: I almost drowned. I’m not even joking – got swept away by a rogue wave and swallowed half the pool. After that, I was thoroughly exhausted of the experience of everything. The water park? Not for me.
- 16:00 - Escape and Recovery - Finally out of the water with a small dose of survivor's guilt (the kids seemed to be having the time of their lives). Time to de-chlorinate - which will take days, I think.
- 18:00 - Dinner & Debrief-- Back at the Fancy & Nice Studio, and feeling very, very exhausted. Need to have a debrief with a beer.
- 20:00 - Early Night.-- Sleep. I demand sleep.
Day 3: Culture & Departure
- 09:00 - Breakfast and Regret- Eating, then regretting. Maybe should not have had that last beer.
- 10:00- Exploring Jakarta (attempt #1) - Today is the day to discover Jakarta. With a hangover, great!
- 12:00 - Lunch and Recover- Did you know Indonesian food is the best cure to a hangover? Apparently, yes.
- 14:00 - Packing & Panic - Packing and panic. Where did the time go?
- 17:00 - Departure - Jakarta, you've been real. And also, a little bit crazy.
So there you have it! My gloriously messy, slightly terrifying, and hopefully hilarious itinerary for my time in the Fancy & Nice Studio Transpark Cibubur By Travelio in Jakarta. Wish me luck. I'm going to need it.
Escape to Paradise: Hilton Garden Inn Mattoon Awaits!
So, what *is* this thing anyway? I mean, *really*?
How long does this take? Because, you know, I have a life. (Sort of.)
What if I mess up? Because, let's face it, I probably will. A lot.
Okay, but what if I just... don't *get* it? Like, at all?
Is there like, a "secret" other than "just do it"? Because duh.
Is it actually fun? Because it sounds like a lot of effort.
I'm stuck! Like, *really* stuck. Help!
What's the best piece of advice to give?
