Semarang's BEST RedDoorz Syariah Hotel Near Krapyak Toll Exit!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the RedDoorz Syariah near Krapyak Toll Exit in Semarang. And let me tell you, this isn't your grandma's hotel review. We're going deep.
First things first: Accessibility. Yikes. Let's just say, if you're relying on a wheelchair, call ahead. While they claim "Facilities for disabled guests," I'm not exactly picturing a fully-kitted-out, ramp-everywhere palace. So, double-check, triple-check, and then probably call again just to be safe. This one definitely needs some improvement.
On-Site Restaurants/Lounges: Ah, well, this is where it gets interesting. Okay, maybe not super interesting. They have restaurants, which is good! The listing mentions a bunch of options: Asian cuisine, international cuisine, vegetarian options…sounds promising, right? But honestly, the heart wants what the heart wants: a good, solid, delicious meal. I'm picturing a long drive back to Semarang, for a great meal.
Internet Access & Wi-Fi: PRAISE THE INTERNET GODS! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Yes! (And in public areas, too, apparently!). This is a must for me. Forget the mini-bar, give me the Wi-Fi. Gotta update those Instagram stories, you know? Plus, you're covered with both Internet and Internet [LAN], so whatever your tech needs, you should be good to go. I'm imagining a comfy corner in my room, laptop open, streaming my favorite shows, and not worrying about those dreaded data charges. Peace, baby, peace.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Okay, here is where things get a little…mixed. The listing boasts a Fitness center, a Pool with view, and even a Spa! Now, "Pool with view" has my attention! I'm picturing a refreshing dip with a gorgeous Semarang sunset. The spa… well, that could be heaven or a glorified massage parlor. I need to know more. Are we talking deep tissue, aromatherapy, or… "massage for the weary traveler?" (Shudder). Regardless, the gym is nice for a workout, but after all that food I will want.
Cleanliness and Safety: THIS IS HUGE, ESPECIALLY in these times. They're touting all the right buzzwords: Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection, Hand sanitizer, and Staff trained in safety protocol. Excellent! Rooms sanitized between stays? Music to my ears. Let's hope it's not just lip service. I'm a bit of a germaphobe (don't judge!), so this matters. I'm hoping for, like, that "clean house" smell, but not the overly sterile kind.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Okay, back to food! The listing is teeming with options. Breakfast [buffet], A la carte in restaurant, Room service [24-hour]? Okay, now we're talking. I'm a sucker for a good breakfast buffet. I'm picturing a plate piled high with nasi goreng, fresh fruit, and, of course, a strong cup of Indonesian coffee. And 24 hour room service? Sold. This is where I see myself getting cozy after a long trip from Jakarta.
Services and Conveniences: They've got the basics covered: Air conditioning, Daily housekeeping, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Concierge. All good. I'm mildly obsessed with Contactless check-in/out. Efficiency is key, people!
For the Kids: Babysitting service! Family/child friendly! And Kids meal. A good start!
Access, Security, and Getting Around: Security is a must. They've got CCTV (yay!), Fire extinguisher, Smoke alarms etc. Check-in/out express. They're also offering Airport transfer, Car park [free of charge], Taxi service.
Available in all rooms: The essentials are there: Air conditioning, Desk, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, Wi-Fi [free], etc. My biggest concern is the bathroom. Is there actually a decent shower?

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into a chaotic, glorious mess of a trip to RedDoorz Syariah near Exit Tol Krapyak in Semarang, Indonesia. I'm basically crafting an "itinerary" (air quotes, because let's be real, I'm winging it) that’s less a rigid schedule and more a suggestion box for potential mayhem.
Pre-Trip Ramblings (because even a good trip starts with anxiety):
First off, are you sure you packed enough underwear? Because I'm perpetually convinced I'm going to run out. And the mosquito repellent? Vital. Absolutely, utterly vital. I almost got eaten alive in Bali last year; lessons learned. And the language barrier? I can stumble through "terima kasih" (thank you) and maybe butchered "berapa harga" (how much?), so…wish me luck. Honestly, my Indonesian vocabulary peaked after a particularly potent plate of Nasi Goreng in Lombok. I'm bracing for a communication breakdown of epic proportions. Also, I hate packing. Everything always looks smaller at home.
Day 1: Arrival, Bewilderment, and the Pursuit of Noodles
Morning (and the Great Luggage Shuffle): Land in Semarang. The airport experience itself is always a bit of a blur – the jostling crowds, the questionable air conditioning, the vague suspicion someone might have stolen your luggage while you blinked. Then, the glorious chaos of finding a taxi. Negotiating a price is an art form, people. An art. My gut always tells me I’m being ripped off, but hey, when in Rome (or, in this case, Semarang, I guess). The drive to RedDoorz…hopefully it's actually near the toll exit. I've learned through painful experience 'near' can mean anything from 'strollable' to 'requiring a small expedition'.
(Mid-Morning) RedDoorz Syariah Reconnaissance: Okay, so…the RedDoorz. Expectation vs. Reality. My expectations are… tempered. It is what it is. Hopefully, it’s clean. Hopefully, the aircon works. And the most important thing of all (after a long flight): does the shower have hot water? I'm not a princess, but a lukewarm shower after a flight makes me question all my life choices. I'm banking on a solid, perfectly basic hotel stay. Fingers crossed!
Afternoon: Noodle Hunt and Sensory Overload: Right, time to hit the streets. Food is paramount on any trip, and Semarang is all about its culinary delights. The goal? Find the perfect Mie Jawa (Javanese noodles). Google Maps is my friend here, and hopefully, it won’t lead me astray. Navigating the scooter traffic is like a real-life video game. I've always been a terrible driver, so it's safe to say I have to depend on locals. The air thick with the smells of spices and exhaust fumes, a symphony of honking horns, and the sheer, glorious organized chaos of it all. I may spontaneously combust from pure delight. Find a local warung (small street food stall), sit on a tiny plastic stool, and pray my stomach can handle the spice. This is living!
Evening: The Quest for a Sunset (and Maybe a Massage): Sunset in Indonesia? Epic. Google Maps is my friend (again). There's bound to be a spot. Or failing that, a rooftop bar with a view. If I'm feeling brave after a full day of sensory overload, and after a long day of eating, and if my wallet permits, I'll search for a massage. Ah, the sweet, sweet rubdown. If not, some quiet time, reanalyzing the day.
Late Night: Journaling (or Falling Asleep Mid-Sentence): I try to journal. Usually, it's a few scattered thoughts, a half-formed sentence, and then just…zzz's.
Day 2: Exploring Semarang (and Possibly Getting Lost)
Morning: Exploring Colonial History (and Getting Slightly Lost): I want to see the Old Town of Semarang (Kota Lama). These colonial buildings are so beautiful. I'm planning to wander around, get a sense of history, and probably get spectacularly lost. Part of the fun, right? Embrace the unknown! I'll attempt to haggle for a souvenir or two, but I always turn into a blubbering idiot when put on the spot.
Mid-Morning: Coffee Break and Temple Visit: Time for coffee! The Indonesian coffee scene is amazing. I'll look for a local cafe - Hopefully, it's not too "hipster" (I just want good coffee). Also, let's see a temple. I will also need to figure out the proper etiquette. Respect the culture, people!
Afternoon: Shopping and Street Food (a Dangerous Combination): Shopping! Maybe. Depends on how much I've already blown on noodles and coffee. I'm a sucker for local crafts and textiles, though. And street food? Always. More sate (meat skewers)? Yes, please! My stomach is going to hate me, but my soul will be singing.
Evening: Dinner and Potential Karaoke (A Terrible Idea, But I Am Always Game): More food. More exploration. Then, the ultimate temptation – Indonesian karaoke. My voice is atrocious, but I have a weird weakness for it. If I give in (and I probably will), prepare for a night of off-key singing, badly translated lyrics, and potentially mortifying dance moves. And I blame the local beer.
Late Night: Regrets and Planning for the Next Day (or more likely, staring at the ceiling): Reviewing the day. What worked? What crashed and burned? (Probably the karaoke). And a hopeful plan for tomorrow, though let's be real, that plan will probably be completely ignored.
Day 3: Departure and Post-Trip Melancholy
Morning: One Last Indonesian Breakfast and Hotel Mishap (Probably): Another scramble for breakfast? Another search for something tasty? And a final review of the hotel room to see what I've forgotten. Keys? Phone charger? (I always forget something. ). I will have to make sure to check out on time, as the stress of that is real.
Mid-Morning: Farewell to Semarang: That feeling as you drive back to the airport. A bittersweet mix of relief (to leave the organized chaos) and sadness (to leave the magic). Did I see everything? Probably not. Did I try everything? Definitely not. But did I experience something? Absolutely.
Afternoon: Travel and Post-Trip Reflection: The flight. The endless airport lines. The inevitable traffic on the other end. And then…the return to reality. The laundry. The unpacking. The immediate craving for Indonesian food. And the overwhelming desire to start planning the next trip.
Evening: Post-Trip Blues, and the Promise of Tomorrow: A day or two after returning home, I will start to remember all the tiny moments. The little things, the perfect sunset, the taste of incredible food, the kindness of strangers, and the sheer bewilderment of it all. And I'll be craving Mie Jawa and plotting my return. Because travel, in all its messy, imperfect glory, is the best kind of drug.
Okay. That's the "itinerary." Now, wish me luck. I'm going in. Wish me luck, because I'm probably going to need it. And send me Noodle recs.

RedDoorz Semarang Near Krapyak Toll Exit: You've Got Questions, I've (Maybe) Got Answers
So, what's the *deal* with this "Syariah" thing? Is it, like, scary?
Okay, deep breaths. Syariah basically means "Islamic law" stuff. Think...no booze, no pork, prayer times are respected. Look, I'm not a religious scholar, alright? But my experience? Pretty chill. No weird looks for not being Muslim, just a general feeling of…calm? Maybe a little *too* calm for my usual chaotic travel style. I’m a bit of a mess, honestly. But it's a nice breather if you're used to the general mayhem of Semarang.
One time, I actually forgot it was Friday and almost went straight to the lobby bar for a celebratory drink…then remembered. Facepalm moment! Ended up having a very pleasant, and completely sober, chat with a really nice family in the lounge. They even shared some delicious local snacks. Silver linings, people, silver linings.
Is this place *actually* near the toll exit, or is it a cruel lie?
Okay, this is crucial. Because let's be real, after a long drive, "near" can feel like two planets away. And honestly? It *is* close! I'm talking practically stumbling distance, maybe a five-minute drive. I was practically yelling "Hallelujah!" when I saw the sign after navigating that insane Semarang traffic. That alone is worth a star rating in my book.
The rooms…are they, like, clean? That’s the real question, right?
Right?! Cleanliness is next to godliness, or at least a peaceful night's sleep, according to my mom. Honestly, yeah, the rooms were decent. Nothing sparkling, five-star luxury, maybe. But clean enough. The bed sheets didn’t look like they’d seen a thousand other guests (always a good sign). And the bathroom… I mean, it wasn't a palace, but it was functional. No lingering smells, no creepy crawlies. I’m a germaphobe, and I survived! That's a win.
Breakfast! Is breakfast worth getting out of bed for?
Okay, breakfast. This is where we start getting into the *slightly* less stellar territory. Look, it's included, which is always a plus. And they *try*. There was rice, some kind of meat (usually chicken or beef), and maybe some veggies. But… it's not exactly a culinary masterpiece, you know? Honestly, it’s the kind of breakfast you eat because you *have* to, not because you *want* to. My advice? Lower your expectations, bring a stash of your own snacks (I always do!), and consider it fuel. Consider it… necessary sustenance. And maybe grab a street vendor snack on your way out for something a little more exciting to eat later. Trust me. You’ll want to.
What about the Wi-Fi? Because, you know, the internet is life.
The Wi-Fi. Ugh. It's there. Technically. But...it's not exactly blazing fast. Expect some buffering, some moments of "Oh, the irony!" when you try to stream something. I spent a good chunk of one afternoon trying to upload a photo and getting utterly defeated. Prepare yourself to be patient. Or, you know, download some movies beforehand. And maybe bring a good book. Old school, I know. But sometimes, it's the way to go.
Parking? Because, Semarang traffic is intense.
Parking? Yes, they have parking! And it's…sufficient. It's not a huge sprawling lot, but it's there. I didn't have any problems finding a spot, but I wasn't arriving at peak hours either. Just be aware that if you're arriving late, you might have to do a little bit of circling. But hey, at least you're not navigating Semarang streets for a parking spot! That alone is a small victory. Seriously.
Is there a pool? Because I need a pool.
I wish! Nope. No pool. Bummer, right? I love a good pool. It’s a serious downside if you’re a pool person (like me!), but it’s a trade-off for the location and the price. You can’t have everything, I guess. You're not going to splash around. Just resign yourself to a land-based existence in the hotel, or go to a local water park or explore the city. Seriously just go hang out in the hotel.
Okay, real talk: Would you stay there again?
Honestly? Probably. The location is just *so* convenient if you're using the toll road. And the price is right, especially if you're on a budget. Sure, the Wi-Fi could be better, and the breakfast could use a serious upgrade (seriously, eat something else!), but overall, it’s a solid choice. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s a perfectly acceptable place to crash for a night or two. I would recommend it because it is a good place for you to get a room, at a good price, in a good location.
Any quirky observations or things to look out for? Spill the tea!
Okay, here's the tea. First, the security. The staff are all very nice and welcoming. The staff will open the gate to let you in. Second, the elevator. Don't expect anything fancy. Second, the sound proofing, you can still hear things. Third, the TV, the TV isn't the most modern TV. The channels are okay. Finally, it's just a perfectly acceptable place to stay! I'd recommend it. It's not super exciting. I think you would get a good experience out of it. I'd say go for it!
