Luxury 2BR Branz BSD City Getaway: Unwind in Tangerang, Indonesia!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups! Because we're about to dive HEADFIRST into the Luxury 2BR Branz BSD City Getaway: Unwind in Tangerang, Indonesia! – and trust me, I've got opinions. I'm talking about a messy, real-world, this-is-how-I-actually-felt kind of review. Forget the glossy brochures, we're going raw. Let's get this party started… and hopefully, end up relaxed!
First Impressions & The 'Getting There' Grind: Accessibility (and the Joy of AC!)
Okay, so, getting to Tangerang… not exactly a leisurely afternoon stroll. Jakarta traffic? It's a beast. But, and this is a HUGE but, once you're there? The promised land. The Branz is tucked away in BSD City, which, thankfully, is MUCH easier to navigate than the chaos of Jakarta itself. That said, I’d definitely scope out the airport transfer options (they’ve got it listed – good!). They have car park, which is a godsend when you’re dealing with, ya know, luggage, sanity and Indonesian traffic.
Now, the accessibility piece. This is super important, and I’m happy to go into detail. The Branz boasts Elevator access, and also has Facilities for disabled guests. I’m not disabled myself, so I can't speak from personal experience, but the fact they state this is a big win. Seeing Air conditioning in public area and Air conditioning available in all rooms… bless. Seriously, the heat and humidity of Indonesia can knock you sideways if you’re not used to it.
Rooms: My Cozy, Tempur-Pedic-Dreams Sanctuary (and some minor quibbles)
The 2BR is where it's at. Let me tell you, having space to actually breathe after a day of exploring is priceless. The Air conditioning blasted the humidity into submission. I could also easily appreciate the desk (hello, writing this review!) Laptop workspace is great for the ones going out there to do their jobs.
I’m a light sleeper, so the Blackout curtains were a lifesaver and the inclusion of Soundproof rooms actually worked. Bless up! However, the scale had me questioning every nasi goreng I’d devoured during the trip. The Bathroom phone, the Bathtub, the Bathrobes… it was all kinda luxurious, and the Complimentary tea was a nice touch. So was the Hair dryer – a must-have for anyone fighting frizz in the tropics.
Now for the niggles. While they had Free bottled water, more wouldn't hurt. And the Internet access – wireless was decent, but a quicker connection would have been good. Internet access – LAN is available as well.
I swear, they thought of everything.
Food, Glorious Food! Dining, Drinking, and Snacking Adventures
This is where I REALLY get excited. Because… food!
- Restaurants: Yup, plural. And let me tell you, after a long day, the thought of finding a place to snack is heavenly.
- Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant: Perfect for the adventurous eater (that's me!). I didn't love every dish, but hey, variety is the spice of life, right?
- International cuisine in restaurant, Western cuisine in restaurant: And for the less adventurous? Yep, they’ve got you sorted.
- Breakfast [buffet]: Look, I'm a buffet kinda person. The freedom to wander is intoxicating!
- Room service [24-hour]: A godsend after a long day out.
I did wish they had a bit more of a focus on vegetarian options, but they did have some, as well as some Salad in restaurant, which is always a win. They also have a Snack bar, so, win-win.
Ways to Relax: Getting My Pamper On (and Maybe, Okay, DEFINITELY Some Me-Time)
This is where The Branz really shines.
- Pool with view, Swimming pool [outdoor]: Because what's a vacation without a pool? The view? Sublime. I spent hours just floating, staring up at the sky. Bliss.
- Spa: Ah, the spa. This is where I made some real progress when it came to getting rid of any stress. I indulged in a Body scrub and a Massage, and I swear, I floated out of there. Utter. Heaven.
- Sauna, Steamroom: If you like your relaxation next-level, the sauna/steamroom combo is your jam. I like my skin feeling like a baby's bum.
- Fitness center, Gym/fitness: Okay, listen. I intended to use the fitness center. I planned to. But between the pool, the spa, and the food, let's just say my workouts were… minimal. But hey, the option is there!
Cleanliness and Safety: Keeping it Real (and Safe)
Listen, safety is paramount, right? Especially in these times. I was happy to see the Branz takes this seriously.
- Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays: Reassuring, right?
- Hand sanitizer: Plenty of it everywhere.
- Staff trained in safety protocol: Good to know.
- Cashless payment service: Super convenient.
- Doctor/nurse on call: Always a plus.
I felt safe which is saying something.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Big Difference
- Concierge: Super helpful with tips and recommendations.
- Daily housekeeping: My room always felt fresh and clean.
- Laundry service, Dry cleaning, Ironing service: Huge time-savers.
- Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site]: Parking is a breeze, which is a huge win.
- Convenience store: Forgot something? No problem.
For the Kids: Family-Friendly Fun (Maybe?)
While I didn't have kids with me, I noticed the following:
- Family/child friendly
- Babysitting service
- Kids meal
It looks like they've got some options to make a family stay pleasant.
The Quirks, the Imperfections, and the Honest Truth
Look, no place is perfect. Here's a bit of the messy truth:
- The Wi-Fi: It could be a bit spotty at times. Nothing a little reboot couldn't fix, but it could be better.
- The Traffic: Getting to the hotel can be a challenge. Factor that in.
Overall Vibe: Is It Worth It?
Absolutely. The Luxury 2BR Branz BSD City Getaway is a solid choice. It's comfortable, well-equipped, and has some serious relaxation cred. It's not just a place to sleep; it's a destination. I'd say it's perfect for couples looking to escape, families seeking a comfortable base, or anyone who just fancies a bit of pampering.

Operation: Branz BSD Bliss (and the inevitable chaos)
Day 1: Arrival and Apartment Adoration (and Mild Panic)
- Morning (7:00 AM): Wake up. Or rather, drag myself from the clutches of sleep. The flight was a red-eye, so I’m basically a caffeinated zombie. Already regretting the second coffee. Praying my luggage arrives. Praying the airport doesn't eat me.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM): Touchdown in Jakarta! Ugh, the humidity hit me like a wet slap in the face. But hey, Indonesia! That's the adventure, right? Find the driver I booked. Hope he doesn't think I'm a complete idiot.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM - 3:00 PM): The drive to Tangerang. This is when reality sets in. Traffic? Oh, honey, you have no idea. It's like a ballet of honking and barely-there lanes. I'm simultaneously fascinated and terrified. We pass street food stalls, and I'm already mentally planning what to eat.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM): Arrive at the glorious Branz BSD. The pictures looked AMAZING, but you know how that goes. Fingers crossed.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Okay, the apartment is… pretty damn nice. Seriously. The view is insane. And the AC actually works! (Small victories, people). Unpack. Fumble with the Wi-Fi (naturally). Take about a million photos because, let's be honest, this is for the ‘gram.
- Evening (5:00 PM - 7:00 PM): Explore the complex. Find the pool. Decide I'm too pale and pasty to be seen in public. Walk of shame back to the apartment. Order food delivery (because, let's be real, I’m not going to cook after that flight).
- Evening (7:00 PM - Bedtime): Dinner, attempt to watch a movie (probably will fall asleep halfway through). The jet lag is kicking in.
Day 2: BSD City Exploration (and Culinary Adventures/Potential Regret)
- Morning (9:00 AM): Wake up (finally!). Actually feel human for a hot second. But the second the sun hits me I start regretting my life choices, and also my decision to not apply more sunscreen.
- Morning (10:00 AM): Head to a proper cafe? I see a lot of posts about some trendy coffee places. But the thought of actually getting dressed… Ugh. Maybe I'll just make instant coffee and pretend it's artisanal.
- Lunch (12:00 PM-1:00 PM): Okay, this is the moment I’ve been waiting for. Street food! I'm thinking sate (meat skewers), gado-gado (vegetable salad with peanut sauce), all of it. Risking it all for a taste of the real deal. (Secretly hoping I don't end up in the bathroom all afternoon).
- Afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Okay, I'm going to be ambitious and venture out. The mall here is supposed to be HUGE. Explore the massive mall and soak in the local culture. (Translation: people-watch and judge everyone's outfits). Hopefully buy some souvenirs (because Mom will disown me if I come home empty-handed).
- Evening (5:00 PM-7:00 PM): Back to the apartment. Maybe attempt to cook (probably a disaster). Or, if the food poisoning hasn’t kicked in, another delivery it is!
- Evening (7:00 PM-Bedtime): Netflix and chill. Or, more accurately, Netflix and fall asleep mid-sentence.
Day 3: Day Trip Delirium (And the Unexpected)
- Morning (8:00 AM): Okay, I'm feeling adventurous! Today's the day trip. Deciding where to go has been a struggle. Maybe a quick day out to Jakarta? Maybe I should have booked a tour. This is a mistake.
- Morning (9:00 AM): Find a Grab (ride-sharing app) and start the journey! The traffic… it never ends. And I'm already regretting my life choices.
- Morning-Afternoon (10:00 AM-4:00 PM): Actual day trip somewhere to Jakarta. Sightseeing! Culture! I'm going to attempt to be a sophisticated traveler.
- Afternoon (4:00 PM-6:00 PM): Journey back to the apartment.
- Evening (7:00 PM - Bedtime): Order extra comfort food because I'm both exhausted and exhilarated. Maybe another attempt at watching a movie, but I'm not betting on it.
Day 4: Relaxation and Last Day Blues (and a lot of photos)
- Morning (10:00 AM): Sleep in! A glorious, guilt-free sleep-in. I earned this.
- Morning (11:00 AM): Breakfast leftovers. Slowly packing my things (because, again, I’m not the most organized traveler).
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 3:00 PM): Last swim? Or lay by the pool and read. Maybe I'll actually journal. (Unlikely).
- Afternoon (3:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Do a final sweep of the apartment to make sure I haven't left anything behind. Then, spend an hour staring wistfully out the window, contemplating the meaning of life (or, more accurately, whether I should order one last helping of martabak manis).
- Evening (5:00 PM - 6:00 PM): Final dinner.
- Evening (7:00 PM - Bedtime): Pack any remaining things. Get ready for the long trip home.
Day 5: Departure (and the Aftermath)
- Morning (6:00 AM): Wake up to catch my flight (sigh).
- Morning/Afternoon: The airport, the flight, the journey back home. Reflect on the trip.
- Afternoon/Evening: Reflect on all the memories, good and bad! And think of going back to Indonesia someday.
Important Notes (and Mental Ramblings):
- Currency Chaos: Still haven't quite grasped the Indonesian Rupiah. Constantly feeling like I'm either getting ripped off or overspending. Probably both.
- Food Safety: Praying my stomach is a steel trap. So far, so good. But the suspense is killing me.
- Communication: My Indonesian is limited to "Terima kasih" (thank you), "Selamat pagi" (good morning), and "Where's the bathroom?" Google Translate is my new best friend.
- Embrace the Mess: This itinerary is a guideline, not a rigid schedule. Things will go wrong. I'll get lost. I'll probably say something offensive by accident. But that's part of the fun, right?
- The Real Goal: Come home with some funny stories (and maybe a slightly less pale complexion).
So there you have it. My trip to the Nice and Comfy 2BR Branz BSD City By Travelio. Hopefully the chaos and humor will be enough to keep you entertained! Let the adventure begin… and may the odds be ever in my favor.
