Jakarta's BEST Studio View: Tamansari Sudirman Luxury! (Travelio)
Okay, Jakarta's BEST Studio View? Let's Dive into Tamansari Sudirman Luxury (Travelio) - Brace Yourselves!
Alright, guys and gals, buckle up. We're about to dissect Tamansari Sudirman Luxury (Travelio). Now, I'm not a robot, so this review is gonna be… well, human. That means it's going to get messy. It’s going to get real. And hopefully, a little bit helpful. This isn't just about tick-boxing, it's about the experience. Let's get started!

First Impressions: The View (Duh!) & the Accessibility Shuffle
Okay, so let's get the obvious out of the way: the view. That’s what it’s selling, right? And honestly? It delivers. The studio I lucked into – and yes, I did luck out, cause finding a decent Travelio place can feel like winning the lottery – offered a stunning panoramic cityscape. Gleaming towers slicing into the Jakarta sky, a vibrant tapestry of lights… honestly, it was breath-taking. Especially at sunset. Instagrammable? Oh, absolutely. Did I spend an embarrassing amount of time just staring out the window? You betcha.
(Image - if I could upload one - of a stunning Jakarta Cityscape from a high-rise window.)
But let's be real. This isn't just about pretty pictures. Let's talk Accessibility. This is where things get… a little less glamorous. The apartment itself, once inside, felt generally accessible. Wide hallways, decent maneuvering space. BUT… getting to the apartment? That's where the potential pitfalls lurk.
The building itself has elevators, which is HUGE (compared to some of the older buildings I’ve encountered). But the entrance, the lobby… I didn’t personally need any assistance, but I was observing. Potential wheelchair users or guests with mobility aids would have to navigate a few slight ramps, then through automatic doors. It seemed manageable, but definitely scope it out beforehand. (Accessibility rating: 3.5/5. Room for improvement, especially in the wider public areas.)
Restaurants, Lounges, and the Quest for Caffeine
On-site restaurants/lounges? Yes, there were some. This is Jakarta, after all. Luxury equals options! I had a quick look around (again, observations, not necessarily personal experiences). There was a cafe I believe (I needed my coffee, desperately!), a full-on restaurant with what looked like a pretty extensive menu, and even a… shudders… what appeared to be a karaoke lounge (I’m judging, because I have ears).
(Another image – of a well-lit cafe with modern décor, or a dimly-lit lounge.)
The cafe was my go-to for the morning caffeine fix. The coffee was… okay. Certainly not the best I’ve ever had, but it got the job done. And the service? Hit or miss. One morning, friendly and efficient. The next? A complete and utter struggle to get anyone's attention. (And it happened to be the day my brain wasn’t firing on all cylinders!) (Coffee Shop rating: 3.0/5. Good for a fix, not a gourmet experience.)
The restaurant I only glanced at, but the menu seemed to cover most bases. (A la carte, Asian cuisine, Western cuisine, Vegetarian restaurant – tick, tick, tick!). But the lighting was low, making it for a more “romantic” vibe, meaning I didn’t get close enough to check how it REALLY felt. (I was traveling solo, but I like to eavesdrop!)
Chasing Relaxation & Bubbles: Spa, Pool, and the Body Scrub That Almost Killed Me… (Kidding!)
Now, the fun stuff! The Spa/Sauna/Pool situation was… interesting. The pool, as promised, did have a view. A good one. A high one. Actually quite dizzying. (Pool with view – check!) I’m not gonna lie, I spent a good amount of time just floating, staring at the skyscrapers. It was, surprisingly, relaxing.
(Image - of a stunning rooftop infinity pool, overlooking the Jakarta skyline.)
The sauna and steam room… were there. I’m a sauna person and I did spend some time there, it was hot and steamy, I believe it was well maintained, but there wasn’t anyone around during my time to check. This is a good thing to experience if you are travelling solo.
Now, about the Spa. I, in a moment of pure self-indulgence, booked a Body Scrub! OH. MY. GOD. I went in thinking, "This is going to be bliss!" I envisioned smooth skin, a serene atmosphere… But the Indonesian massage therapist (apologies, I can’t remember her name!) had other plans! It was… intense. Like, full-body exfoliation performed by a slightly overzealous sandblaster. I emerged pink, slightly bruised, and wondering if I’d accidentally signed up for a medieval torture session. But, hey, my skin did feel amazing afterwards. (Body Scrub rating: 4/5 (for results, minus 1 for the near-death experience).)
There's even a Gym/Fitness Center! I glanced in. Looked decent. More importantly, it was there. Seriously, being able to actually work out on vacation (even if I only thought about it) is a major plus. (Fitness Center rating: Unrated – I’m more of a “stroll to coffee” person.)
Cleanliness, Safety, and the COVID-19 Chaos
Let's talk reality: Cleanliness and safety are paramount these days. And frankly, considering everything that has been said in this review, it was also very important to me. Travelio and Tamansari Sudirman Luxury take it seriously in the apartment. (Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Room sanitization, hand sanitizer.)
The building had CCTV in common areas and 24-hour security. All reassuring. The apartment itself felt clean and well-maintained, and the precautions felt thorough and consistent. (Cleanliness & Safety rating: 4.5 / 5. They seem to be trying!)
As for Food, dining, and snacking, there were enough options that I could order food through room service, but I barely ever used them. I like to get out and try the food locally if I can. (Dining, drinking, and snacking rating: 3.5/5. Lots of options, but your own enjoyment level might vary.)
The Room: My Studio Sanctuary
The Available in all rooms list is long! Let’s do it! (Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Satellite/cable channels, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens.)
The studio itself was… well, it was what I booked. It was functional. It was stylish. (The black-out curtains were a lifesaver). The Internet access – wireless was reliable, which is a must for me. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms, a big win! The bed was comfortable. The view! (Did I mention the view?) The little desk area was perfect for a bit of laptop work. It wasn’t perfect, but it worked for me, I did enjoy it a lot. (Room rating: 4/5. A solid, comfortable base with a killer view.)
Services and Conveniences: The Nitty Gritty
Services and conveniences: Air conditioning in public area, Concierge, Convenience store, Daily housekeeping, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Safety deposit boxes, Smoking area, Terrace.
I really appreciated the Concierge. The staff was helpful and always smiling. The Elevator was essential! The Terrace… well, I didn’t really use it, but it was there (I was too busy in my room staring out of the window!). **(Services and conveniences rating:

Alright, buckle up buttercup, because this isn't your perfectly curated, influencer-approved itinerary. This is real life travel, Jakarta-style, complete with questionable food choices, existential crises in the hotel room, and the distinct possibility of me getting hopelessly lost. Here's the plan, such as it is, for my Studio with a View at Tamansari Sudirman by Travelio escapade:
Day 1: Arrival, Apartment Angst, and Instant Noodle Salvation
- 06:00: Ugh. Airplane stuff at the airport in my home country, which shall remain unnamed, since I hate them
- 10:00: Actually arrive in Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK). Jet-lagged, sweaty, and already regretting that extra coffee. My phone decides to stage a dramatic battery death. Fantastic start.
- 11:30: The Grab (Indonesian Uber/Lyft) experience begins. Navigate the chaotic, yet organized, sea of humanity and traffic. I've already made eye-contact with a motorcycle carrying three people and a mountain of…something. Let's call it "stuff."
- 12:30: Arrive at Tamansari Sudirman. The lobby looks promising, at least. Check-in is surprisingly smooth, which feels…wrong. Like, I'm expecting a hitch.
- 13:00: Finally in the studio! The "view" is…well, it's a view. Buildings. Concrete. But, hey, at least it's a view. I'm easily pleased. The apartment itself is clean, modern, and slightly sterile. I immediately rearrange the pillows. It's a compulsion.
- 14:00: The Realization. I am in a foreign country. Alone. And I have no idea what I'm doing. Panic attack begins. Followed by extreme hunger.
- 14:30: Scour the cupboards. Discover…nothing. Except a packet of instant noodles. My inner voice screams "NO! You’re better than this!" My stomach, however, screams louder. Embrace the shame. Boil the noodles. It's a moment of pure survival.
- 15:00: Eat the noodles. They're glorious. Indulge in a moment of simple joy.
- 16:00: Stare at the view. Contemplate the meaning of life. Decide that the meaning of life is probably more instant noodles.
- 17:00: Try to learn some basic Bahasa Indonesia. Fail spectacularly. Settle for understanding the word "terima kasih" (thank you). It's progress!
- 18:00: Brave a short walk to a nearby supermarket. Get completely overwhelmed by the sheer volume of products. Buy snacks I don't need. Return to apartment feeling both accomplished and slightly bewildered.
- 19:00: Watch the sunset. It's actually, legitimately beautiful. The concrete jungle can be quite pretty at the right time of day.
- 20:00: Attempt to watch a movie. Fall asleep halfway through. Jet lag is a beast.
Day 2: Culture Shock Therapy (and a Near-Disaster Breakfast)
- 08:00: Wake up. Somehow, feel slightly less terrified than yesterday. Victory!
- 08:30: Attempt a coffee. Fail again. The coffee machine is mocking me.
- 09:00: Embrace the chaos and go for a walk. Explore the neighborhood. Get completely lost after 5 minutes. Ask for directions, mangling the Bahasa I've "learned". Eventually, find my way back. The sheer audacity of Jakarta’s traffic is something to behold.
- 09:30: Breakfast. Okay, I got this. I had to find a place. Found this street food vendor. The aroma, it's a pungent mix, which I'm not sure I can place. This is a risk. It's worth it.
- 10:00: Discover more local food. Turns out someone recommended me and I almost barf right there.
- 11:00: Visit the National Museum. Attempt to absorb some culture. Get distracted by the sheer beauty of the traditional costumes. Get overwhelmed by the historical stuff. Pretend to understand. Mostly just wander around in awe. Wonder how much this life cost everyone
- 13:00: Lunch break. Discover another street food stall. This time, cautiously optimistic. It’s good! Spicy! Delicious!
- 14:00: Visit the Merdeka Square. The Independence Monument (Monas) is impressive. Wonder if they’d notice if I climbed to the top. Probably not.
- 16:00: Get lost again. This time, intentionally. Wander through a local market. The sights, smells, and sounds are overwhelming in the best possible way. Buy a brightly colored hat. Regret the purchase immediately.
- 18:00: Back to the apartment. Collapse on the bed. Reflect on the day. Realize I'm actually enjoying myself.
- 19:00: Attempt to cook something simple. Set off the smoke alarm. Panic. Open all the windows. Eat more instant noodles.
- 20:00: Watch the city lights twinkle. Marvel at being alive.
Day 3: Shopping Spree (and a Farewell Feast?)
- 09:00: Wake up. Coffee works! Feeling almost human.
- 10:00: Shopping time! Head to a massive mall. Get completely lost in the labyrinth of stores. Buy things I absolutely don't need. Justify the purchases. Blame jet lag.
- 12:00: Lunch at a mall restaurant. Try to order something authentic. End up with something that looks suspiciously like…burgers?
- 13:00: More shopping. More impulse buys. My credit card is weeping.
- 16:00: The inevitable: the desperate search for the perfect souvenir. Find something suitably kitschy.
- 17:00: Pack my bag. Realize I've accumulated way too much stuff. Curse my lack of self-control.
- 18:00: One last walk around the neighborhood. Say goodbye to the friendly shopkeepers. Try one last street food experience. The spices dance on my tongue. This time, I will not be sick.
- 19:00: Have a meal at restaurant.
- 21:00: Back to the apartment. Sip on something and look at all the pictures I took. Realize how weird and beautiful life can be.
Day 4: Departure – The bittersweet end
- 07:00: Wake up. Check out.
- 09:00: Head to the airport. Traffic is a nightmare.
- 10:00: Check-in.
- 13:00: Plane. Home.
Final Thoughts:
Jakarta, you were bonkers. You were messy. You were sometimes terrifying, but also…magical. I survived. I (kinda) thrived. And I wouldn’t trade this chaotic, imperfect adventure for anything. Okay, maybe a slightly better coffee machine. And maybe less instant noodles. But overall? Definitely worth it. Now, time to go home and sleep for a week. And probably eat more instant noodles. Don’t judge me.

Seriously... Is the View *Really* That Good at Tamansari Sudirman? I see pictures... but are they lying? (And my crippling fear of heights!)
Travelio? Is this actually legit? I have trust issues. Do I get ripped off? Is it clean?
The Kitchen… Is it Actually Usable? Can I Cook Nasi Goreng in Peace? (Or is it just for show?)
The “Luxury” Part… Is It *Actually* Luxurious? Or Just… a Little Bit Better?
The Pool Scene: Good? Bad? Overcrowded? Should I even bother? (I'm thinking of my Instagram... obviously.)
What about the Location? Is it Convenient? I need Street Food and Massages! STAT!
My MOST Urgent Question: How's the Wi-Fi? I need to work *and* stream Netflix. (Priorities, people!)
Would you stay here again? Honestly? (And would you send your worst enemy?)
