Escape to Paradise: Stunning 2BR Kebagusan City Haven!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into "Escape to Paradise: Stunning 2BR Kebagusan City Haven!" and I’m not holding back. Forget hotel brochure jargon, we're going real. Let's be honest, planning a trip can feel like herding cats sometimes so here we go…
First Impressions: A City Refuge (Or is it?)
Alright, the name is saccharine… "Escape to Paradise"! But hey, maybe that's what we need, right? We all deserve a little escape. Let's see if the actual place lives up to the promise.
First, the location. Kebagusan City, eh? That's… checks notes… Jakarta. Okay, so it's not exactly a deserted island. Accessibility is key, so let's immediately jump into the Accessibility stuff. The listing doesn't scream it, but it does mention Facilities for disabled guests which is a HUGE relief. That's a good starting point, and seriously a big deal. They also have an Elevator, which is a life saver, especially with all the other stuff.
Okay, quick digression: My last "accessible" hotel experience involved a ramp that looked like it was designed by a toddler who'd only seen pictures of ramps. So, yeah, I'm starting on a positive note here. This is something real travelers will appreciate.
Now, let's talk Interior. We've got a 2BR, which is perfect for families or if you're traveling with your friends. I'm also looking for more than just a box to sleep in. Available in all rooms: Air conditioning (Hallelujah!), alarm clock, bathrobes (YES! The little things!), bathroom phone (okay… a bit extra), bathtub, blackout curtains (essential for sleep!), coffee/tea maker (vital!), complimentary tea, daily housekeeping (thank you, universe!), desk, extra long bed, free bottled water, hair dryer, in-room safe box (smart!), internet access – LAN/wireless (fantastic!), ironing facilities, laptop workspace, linens, mini bar (tempting!), mirror, non-smoking (bleh, but important!), private bathroom, refrigerator, satellite/cable channels, seating area, separate shower/bathtub, shower, slippers (bliss!), smoke detector, socket near the bed, sofa, soundproofing, telephone, toiletries, towels, umbrella, wake-up service, and, crucially, Wi-Fi [free]. Okay, that's a LOT of boxes ticked. Seriously, that's almost everything one could be need (or want).
Internet: The Digital Lifeline
Let's be real; in today's world, a lack of Wi-Fi is a deal-breaker. Thankfully, Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! and Internet access – wireless are huge pluses, and Hot water linen and laundry washing. Internet access – LAN is even better for the serious workers or gamers.
On-Site Delights: Food, Fun, and Relaxation (or Lack Thereof?)
Alright, onto the fun stuff. Now we get into the meat of it; the Dining, drinking, and snacking is where a hotel really shines or falls flat. Let's break it down. We see Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Bar, Bottle of water, Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Restaurants, Room service [24-hour], Salad in restaurant, Snack bar, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant. A good mix. I'm a sucker for a good Asian breakfast after a long flight, so this has me interested. A Poolside bar is essential for chilling.
Things to do, ways to relax: The Real Paradise Test!
Here's where the "Escape to Paradise" really gets judged. The listing mentions Body scrub, Body wrap, Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Pool with view, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor]. Okay, now we're talking. A Pool with a view? Sign me up! I love a good massage; It's the ultimate relaxation. The Spa/sauna means I can spend hours unwinding.
But listen, if you're expecting a full-blown resort with white-sand beaches and a staff with 25 years of experience in hospitality, you might be disappointed. This is city living, and it seems like a pretty good offering for a city hotel.
Cleanliness and Safety: The Post-Pandemic Reality
This is a HUGE one now. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment. Seems like they're taking this seriously, which is a very good thing. First aid kit, Doctor/nurse on call is reassuring.
Services and Conveniences: The Fine Print (That Matters)
Air conditioning in public area, Audio-visual equipment for special events, Business facilities, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Contactless check-in/out, Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Essential condiments, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Indoor venue for special events, Invoice provided, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings, Meeting stationery, On-site event hosting, Outdoor venue for special events, Projector/LED display, Safety deposit boxes, Seminars, Shrine, Smoking area, Terrace, Wi-Fi for special events, Xerox/fax in business center. That's a TON of services. This hotel is prepared. The Contactless check-in/out is a lifesaver. I always value a good doorman (makes you feel like a VIP!).
For the kids: Family-Friendly or Just Tolerant?
The listing is unclear. We see Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, and Kids meal. It does say family-friendly, which is a plus.
Getting Around: The Urban Jungle
Airport transfer, Bicycle parking, Car park, Car park [on-site], Car power charging station, Taxi service, Valet parking. Good stuff. A Car park [free of charge] always makes the budget happy!
Now, For the Emotional, Opinionated Part (Because This is NOT a Brochure!)
Look, I'm a skeptic. I've stayed in hotels that promised the moon and delivered… well, something less shiny. But the sheer VOLUME of amenities and services listed here is impressive. The cleanliness and safety measures give me a good feeling. The two-bedroom setup is practical. The pool seems inviting.
My Verdict (Messy, Honest, and Raw):
This "Escape to Paradise" has potential. It's not going to be a flawless, perfect getaway, but it's got the bones of a really good hotel. The fact that they're trying to cater to a wide range of needs – accessibility, safety, family, business – is admirable.

Okay, buckle up buttercups, 'cause here's my attempt at a travel itinerary for a stay at "Homey & Comfy 2BR Apt @ Kebagusan City By Travelio Indonesia." This isn't your sanitized corporate brochure, mind you. This is real life travel, with all the glorious, messy imperfections.
Itinerary: Kebagusan City, Jakarta (and the rollercoaster of my sanity)
Day 1: Arrival & Jakarta's First Impression (Mostly Dust)
- 10:00 am: Arrive at Soekarno-Hatta Airport (CGK). Ugh, airports. Why are they always so… sterile? And why do I ALWAYS seem to be dodging rogue luggage carts? My mood already matches the Jakarta air – slightly hazy, a bit gritty. Grabbed a Grab (bless the app gods) – the driver, bless his soul, drove like he was auditioning for a Fast & Furious sequel. The ride to Kebagusan City was a blur of traffic, motorbikes weaving like caffeinated mosquitoes, and that distinctive Jakarta aroma – a mix of exhaust fumes, street food, and something vaguely… tropical.
- 11:30 am: Finally, the apartment! Travelio check-in was surprisingly smooth. The photo of the apartment online? Let's just say it was generously lit. The reality: a pleasant-enough space, but the "homey" vibe was missing a little… soul. Still, clean, AC that seems to work, and a kitchen begging to be abused by a cook (me!).
- 12:30 pm: The "comfy" part of the apartment's name gets put to the test! Collapse onto the surprisingly firm (not complaining!) sofa. Immediate wave of exhaustion. Jakarta, you already tired me out. Decided to "rest" for 15 minutes, woke up two hours later. Oops. Fuelled up on instant noodles and let's be real, the water tasted like it came straight out of the sewers.
- 3:30 pm: Brave the local warung. I'm going full immersion! Walked the short distance to a tiny, slightly intimidating, no-English-spoken warung. Pointing, gesturing, and a lot of bewildered smiles got me a plate of Nasi Goreng. Absolutely DELICIOUS. And ridiculously cheap. Victory! Did I accidentally inhale some of the local pollution during my meal? Maybe. Worth it.
- 5:00 pm: Quick grocery run. (Need to stock up on snacks, obviously.) Realized quickly my limited Bahasa Indonesia is going to be an issue. The cashier gave me a look that suggested I had just crawled out from under a rock. Bought way more than I needed, probably some things I'm not even sure what they are.
- 7:00 pm: Back at the apartment. Exhausted. Debating ordering delivery or attempting to cook in that slightly-under-equipped kitchen. Decided cooking would be a massive undertaking and went with the delivery. Jakarta is a city of contrasts: instant noodles at a high price, the apartment is fine yet just lacking that little something.
Day 2: Culture Shock and Shopping Spree (and Existential Dread)
- 9:00 am: Attempt breakfast at the apartment. Another attempt at cooking: a monumental failure. Scrambled eggs that were more like rubber blocks. Sigh.
- 10:00 am: Head to the Jakarta History Museum. A total blast! So much history, artifacts, and insight into the past.
- 12:00 pm: Back to the apartment for some snacks and rest.
- 2:00 pm: Shopping Time! Tanah Abang Market is a sensory overload. The sheer volume of stalls, the haggling, the sheer energy of the place… it’s chaotic, in the best way possible. I felt the urge to buy ALL THE THINGS. Ended up with a questionable patterned scarf, a shirt that might be two sizes too small, and a sudden, inexplicable craving for a durian smoothie (no, really). The crowd was insane, but hey, that's Jakarta!
- 5:00 pm: After the shopping spree, visit to the National Monument (Monas). The view from the top is amazing! (even though standing in line for an hour was not).
- 7:00 pm: Dinner at a proper restaurant. So glad I could finally eat somewhere that wasn't a warung or my own cooking! Had a delicious Indonesian meal.
- 8:00 pm: Back at the apartment. Watched some TV, and couldn't understand a single word but loved it anyway.
Day 3: Parks, Reflections, and a Very Questionable Smoothie
- 9:00 am: After a quick breakfast, and a minor kitchen disaster (burned toast – again!).
- 10:00 am: Taman Mini Indonesia Indah: an amazing cultural park! It's a miniature version of Indonesia, showcasing the different regions. I rode a gondola, which was neat. Wandered aimlessly, got slightly lost, and felt a strange sense of calm despite the crowds.
- 12:00 pm: Lunch at a local restaurant in the park. Enjoyed the food, but more importantly the view.
- 2:00 pm: Back at the apartment for a nap. The humidity is relentless. I dream, not for the first time, of living in an igloo.
- 4:00 pm: Decision of the day: Find that durian smoothie. After a wild search, I found it! (I'm not sure why the smoothie was the priority, but whatever). The smell alone was an experience! I'll be honest, the taste was… well, let's just say it's an acquired taste. I wouldn't say it was unpleasant, but it was… durian-y. And yes, that's a word now.
- 6:00 pm: Sunset at a local park. Jakarta's sunsets are beautiful, and the atmosphere is something else. I started to think about all the things that were happening, and that, is a very scary thought.
Day 4: Departure and Jakarta's Final Word
- 9:00 am: Packing. The real terror. Somehow managed to cram everything into my suitcase. Realized I'd accumulated a lot of… stuff.
- 10:00 am: Check out of the apartment. Relieved to go and a little sad, too. Despite the dust and the occasional mishap, I was starting to get a feel for Jakarta.
- 11:00 am: A last Indonesian breakfast.
- 12:00 pm: Head to the airport. The city's grip loosens, replaced by a fleeting sense of familiarity. Jakarta, as I’ve learned, is a city that keeps on giving, even if it’s just a headache.
Final Thoughts:
This trip was… a thing. It had its ups and downs, its moments of awe and moments of "what am I even doing here?". (A lot of those, actually). This wasn't a perfect trip, but it was my trip. The apartment? It was "homey" enough. And Jakarta? She's a beaut, even with her imperfections. I’ll be back. Maybe. After I've recovered from the durian smoothie.
Ruser's Hotel Germany: Unbeatable Luxury You Won't Believe Exists
Escape to Paradise: Stunning 2BR Kebagusan City Haven! - Your Burning Questions (and My Slightly Unhinged Answers)
Okay, so...is it *actually* paradise? Because, you know, "paradise" is thrown around a lot. And usually, it's a lie.
Alright, alright, let's be real. Paradise? Nah. But seriously, *almost* paradise. Look, I've stayed in places that claimed to be paradise and were basically glorified broom closets. This place, though? This place delivers. The view from the balcony? Killer. Seriously, I spent like, an hour just staring out there the first morning. Coffee in hand, sunrise exploding over the city... it was... *almost* a religious experience. (I’m not religious, mind you, just trying to convey the *feeling*.) I mean, you're still in the city, so expect the usual city noise - the incessant mopeds, the distant karaoke warbling. But the haven part? Spot on. It's...tranquil. Surprisingly so. Definitely beats my usual cockroach motel.
Anecdote Alert: The first morning, as I mentioned, I was all Zen. Then I realized I'd forgotten my coffee filters. Panic set in. True paradise is only achievable with caffeine, people. Thankfully, a quick trip to the mini-mart (within a reasonable walking distance – another win!) saved the day. The point is, even when things *aren’t* perfect, it's still pretty freakin' good.
What's the deal with the "stunning 2BR"? Is it cramped? Because I hate cramped. I need space to, you know, breathe. And maybe do a little dance.
Cramped? NOPE. Unless your idea of needing breathing room involves building a second house *inside* the apartment. It's a proper 2BR, enough space for me, my mountain of luggage (I'm a chronic over-packer, don't judge), and, you know, a small gathering of imaginary friends. The bedrooms are decent sized, the living area is comfortable, and – and this is important – the kitchen isn't a postage stamp! You can actually, like, cook there. Now, *I* didn't cook much, let's be honest (too many delicious warungs outside to resist!), but if you *are* the cooking type, you’ll be happy. More importantly, there’s enough floorspace for your impromptu dance parties. I speak from experience. (Don't ask about the dance moves.)
Quirky Observation: The lighting in the apartment is...good. Not that harsh, fluorescent stuff that makes you look like you're being interrogated. More like, warm and inviting. Makes everything look better. Even my questionable dance moves.
Tell me about the location. Is it easy to get around? Because I'm useless with directions. Like, embarrassingly useless.
Okay, location... It's in Kebagusan City. (Duh.) Getting around? Relative to *what* you're used to. Jakarta traffic is notorious, I won’t lie. BUT, the apartment is reasonably close to the MRT station, which is a lifesaver. MRT, my friends, is your friend. Avoid the taxis during rush hour, trust me. You'll age prematurely waiting in traffic. I'd say it's pretty easy. Just download a map app, and you'll be fine. Even *I* managed, and I once got lost in my own apartment. (True story. Blame the jet lag.)
Emotional Reaction: Ugh, Jakarta traffic. The mere thought of it gives me the shivers. The MRT is a godsend. Seriously, I almost kissed the ticket turnstile. Okay, maybe not, but I was *extremely* grateful for it.
What about the amenities? Pool? Gym? Free WiFi (please, please, *please* tell me there's free WiFi)?
Right, the essential stuff. Yes, to the pool and the gym! They're both decent. The pool is clean and a good size for a refreshing dip after a day of battling the Jakarta heat. The gym... well, it has treadmills and stuff. I used it...once. Okay, maybe twice. But hey, I tried! And YES, the WiFi is free and it works! Hooray! I wouldn't survive without it. Seriously. I'd probably have to go back to a dial-up internet and send a pigeon to communicate.
Messy Structure Alert: Okay, so here's a little more, because I forgot to add it - there's a minimart which is really handy. And some decent warungs nearby for cheap eats. Food is important. Okay, moving on...
Hidden fees? Cleaning fees? Laundry fees? I HATE hidden fees. Don't be that place.
Okay, I'm gonna be transparent here. I hate hidden fees too. They're a total scam. As far as I recall... it was all pretty straight forward. No nasty surprises. I would've noticed. (Maybe I got lucky!). Double check the listing, of course, but from what I remember, what you see is what you get. And that's a good thing. No sneaky extra charges, no "surprise" cleaning fees. So, yeah, I'd say they're *not* that place. Phew.
Rambling Warning: Now, thinking about hidden fees, it reminds me of this one time I booked a hotel in... (No, I won't go on a tangent. But, ugh, the *hidden fees*...)
What was the *best* thing about staying there? Be honest!
Okay, the *best* thing… that's tough. Because there were a lot of good things. (And I'm not just trying to be nice!) Okay, I’m sticking to the coffee. No, wait, the view. No, wait... the *feeling* of being in a nice, clean, well-designed space after a day of sensory overload in Jakarta. Like, you can truly *relax* there. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
Emotional Reaction: Honestly, after a week of relentless chaos, the apartment was my sanctuary. That’s the feeling of being at peace.
And the *worst* thing? Because nothing's perfect. Spill the tea!
Okay, the worst…Hmm... Probably the noise, but that goes with the territory! You can't completely escape city sounds. The AC unit in the main bedroom was slightly underpowered in the middle of the day, and it felt sluggish and I'm easily overwhelmed. (Is that just me?) Again, the coffee filters. Seriously, those missing filters almost ruined the first morning. And you know what? I'm not even sure that's the apartment's fault. Blame my organizational skills. Or lack thereof. Otherwise, pretty solid.
Doubling Down: Okay, the AC wasn't *horrible*. I'm probably exaggerating, because the place was overall so good. I do wishBoutique Inns
