Jakarta Luxury Getaway: 2BR Bassura City Oasis Awaits!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups! Because we're about to dive DEEP into the "Jakarta Luxury Getaway: 2BR Bassura City Oasis Awaits!" and, let me tell you, it's not your average cookie-cutter hotel review. This is gonna be messy, honest, and probably involve me getting a little too comfortable in my imagination.
First Impressions: Arrival and Accessibility – Or, the Great Elevator Gamble!
Okay, so picture this: weary traveler (me!), just dragged themselves off a plane, humidity clinging to their skin like a lovesick octopus. Accessibility, right? That's the first thing on my mind. And the Bassura City Oasis, thankfully, seemed to have its act together. The elevators… well, let's just say they worked! (Which, in certain parts of Jakarta, is a minor miracle.) Everything seemed pretty accessible overall, from the lobby to the… well, I’m assuming the pool because, hey, that's where I immediately wanted to go!
On-Site Eats and Drinks: From Asian Breakfast Bliss To… Well, Maybe Skip Lunch?
Now, food. This is where things get interesting. Let's start with the good: The Asian breakfast… chef’s kiss. Seriously, the Nasi Goreng, the freshly-made juices, the little bowls of mystery yumminess… Pure, unadulterated, fuel-for-exploring joy. They also had a Western breakfast available, but, honestly, when you're in Jakarta… embrace the local flavor, people! Embrace the spice!
The restaurants? There were a couple. The Asian cuisine offerings were fantastic. Think authentic flavors, beautiful presentation, and enough chili to make your insides sing (in a good way!). The international cuisine options.. well, look, let's just say they were there. I tried a burger once. It wasn't the worst burger I've ever eaten, but it wasn't exactly gourmet either.
The Poolside Bar: A Little Slice of Heaven (and Maybe a Sunburn)
The poolside bar was a highlight. Especially after a long day of battling traffic and navigating the city. Picture this: you, a refreshing cocktail (they had a decent selection!), that beautiful pool with a view, the Jakarta skyline slowly melting into the sunset. Sigh. Pure bliss. The *poolside bar served drinks with all the required ingredients!
Things to Do/Ways to Relax: Pampering, Pools, and Potential Problems
This is where the Bassura City Oasis really shines. They've got the goods.
- The Spa: Oh. Em. Gee. Seriously, folks, book a massage. Just do it. It's worth every single rupiah. The massage was divine, the sauna was a sweat-inducing dream, and the atmosphere was all hushed whispers and relaxation. They also had a spa/sauna combo which was good. I didn't go in the Body scrub or body wrap but I now regret these and may come back just to have these experiences
- The Pool: Stunning, as promised. The Swimming pool [outdoor]is where you do not belong. And of course, a pool with a view is the cherry on top!
Cleanliness and Safety – An Obsessive-Compulsive Traveler's Dream (Mostly)
Let's be real, cleanliness is paramount, especially these days. Bassura City Oasis seems to get it. They had Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, and Rooms sanitized between stays. They also did a great job with Hand sanitizer, Professional-grade sanitizing services, and Sanitized kitchen and tableware items. The Staff trained in safety protocol, and you could even opt-out of having your room cleaned completely.
The Rooms: Like a Hotel Room, But Nicer
The 2BR suite itself was… spacious. Really spacious! And well-appointed. You’ve got your Air conditionin, Air conditioning and everything else you could want. And don't forget those crucial Blackout curtains! The mini-bar was stocked, the Wi-Fi [free] worked a treat (mostly… more on that later), and the bed… oh, the bed. Soft, fluffy, inviting… I may or may not have spent an entire afternoon just lounging. The amenities are great, including Additional toilet, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], and Window that opens
Dining, Drinking, Snacking: Fueling the Adventure
The 24-hour room service came in really handy. Especially when that post-massage-glow turned into a serious case of the munchies. They also did Breakfast takeaway service
Services and Conveniences – Because Life's Too Short for Laundry Day
- Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, 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,
- I also made use of the car park [free of charge] .
- The Contactless check-in/out was a breeze.
For the Kids: Family Time, Jakarta Style
While I didn't bring any little ones, the Bassura City Oasis seemed to have them covered. With Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal
Getting Around: Navigating the City, One Taxi at a Time
- Airport transfer made arrival and departure super simple.
- They also have Taxi service, Valet parking
Things That Could Be Better (Because, Hello, It's Real Life!)
- The Internet: It was generally good, but occasionally, the connection would… hiccup. Not a deal-breaker, but if you absolutely need to be online 24/7 for work, maybe double-check the stability first.
- The Traffic: Okay, this isn’t the hotel's fault at all, but be prepared for Jakarta traffic. It can be… intense. Factor in extra time for everything.
The Quirks: Little Things That Made Me Smile (and Maybe Scratch My Head)
- The Decorations: They were… unique. Let's just say the art choices were bold.

Escape to Paradise: Adults-Only Luxury in Olbia's Pelican Beach Resort & Spa
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's itinerary. We're going full-blown Jakarta adventure mode, staying in a Comfort and Warm 2BR at Bassura City By Travelio. Let's do this, shall we? And be warned, my memory isn't my strongest suit so we'll see where this goes…
Jakarta Jaunt: A Messy, Magnificent, & Possibly Mildly Unhinged Itinerary
Pre-Departure Ramblings (aka, the "I Should Have Packed Better But Now I'm Already at the Airport" Phase)
- Weeks Before: Oh god, Jakarta! I thought I was prepared. Booked the Travelio place (Sounded dreamy! Comfort and Warm? Yes, please!), got my passport, downloaded a ton of podcasts I'll probably never listen to, and brushed up on my very limited Bahasa Indonesian (mostly, "Terima kasih" and "Saya tidak mengerti," which, let's be real, covers like 70% of any trip). I even attempted a packing list. Keyword: Attempted. Realized I packed way too many "what if" outfits and not nearly enough comfy walking shoes. Panic set in.
- Days Before: Checked my bags again. Then I made a list of the things I’ve lost: my keys, some money, my will to live, etc.
Day 1: Arrival, Jet Lag, and the Quest for Nasi Goreng
- 7:00 AM (ish) - Arrival at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK): Ugh. Red eye flights. Why do I do this to myself? The immigration line was longer than the line at Starbucks on a Monday morning. Seriously, I felt like I aged a decade just standing there! Finally, through. Okay, deep breaths. Find the pre-booked airport transfer. They're usually holding up a sign with my name, but this time I didn't see the sign, for a few minutes. Panic. My phone is dead. After a while, I found the driver, waving my name with the most "I've been waiting forever" energy. First lesson of Jakarta: Patience.
- 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM - Getting to Bassura City & Settling In: The drive to Bassura City was a sensory overload in the best possible way. Scooters zipping everywhere, vibrant street art, and the constant, melodic hum of Indonesian life. The apartment complex was a little tricky to find, but hey, adventure! Finally, the Travelio place! And surprisingly, the "Comfort and Warm" promise didn't disappoint. It is pretty darn cozy. And the air conditioning… oh sweet, sweet air conditioning. Immediately sprawled on the couch.
- 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM - Unpacking, Mild Confusion, and That First Shower: Okay, unpacking. (More like, throwing stuff into vaguely defined piles). Found the Wi-Fi password (blessedly simple). Showered off the travel grime. Realized I forgot my toothbrush again. Sigh.
- 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM - The Nasi Goreng Pilgrimage: The stomach is rumbling. The jet lag is knocking. The only cure: Nasi Goreng. After some panicked Googling (thank you, Wi-Fi!), ventured out. Walked a couple of blocks, slightly lost and relying on my rudimentary Bahasa and a lot of pointing. Found a small warung. The aroma was intoxicating. Ordered Nasi Goreng. The first bite… pure heaven! The perfect blend of savory, spicy, and that little fried egg on top. I swear, I almost cried. This is what I came for. This is why I suffer red-eye flights.
- 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM - Collapse & Attempted Evening Exploration: Okay, the food coma hit HARD. Napped. Woke up disoriented. Decided to try and explore the local area, but honestly, I think I only made it to the convenience store. Grabbed some instant noodles and a weird-looking fruit. Regretted the fruit. Went back to the apartment. The air conditioner felt amazing. Watched some Indonesian television. Didn't understand a word, but it was fascinating and comforting.
- 7:00 PM - Bedtime (or, More Accurately, Bed-Falling-Asleep-Mid-YouTube-Video Time): Passed out. Jet lag won. Good night, Jakarta.
Day 2: Culture, Coffee, and Car Trouble (Maybe)
- 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM - Breakfast & The Morning Ritual: Woke up, feeling slightly less like a zombie, and made that instant noodle. Actually quite good. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. Found a tiny nespresso machine in the apartment. Saved!
- 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM - Old Town Adventure: Kota Tua & Fatahillah Square: Taxi time! (Grab, it seems, is a lifesaver here). Headed to Kota Tua, the Old Town. The colonial architecture was stunning. Started wandering around Fatahillah Square. So many people, so much energy! Ended up getting hopelessly lost in a maze of stalls, getting bombarded by vendors. Bought a dodgy-looking hat I probably won't wear again. (But hey, souvenirs, right?). Tried to sound like a local. It was a disaster.
- 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM - Lunch & Cafe Crawling: Lunch at a recommended cafe near Kota Tua. Great food, great ambiance. Then… coffee. And more coffee. Because, you know, culture.
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM - More Kota Tua (and Slight Mayhem): Decided to explore the nearby Dutch-era Maritime Museum. Ended up at a nearby museum but the museum was closed! I had to change some money to pay a taxi driver. (The driver looked at me with a weird face). The driver tried to scam me. I did not.
- 4:00 PM - "Car Trouble" and the Reality Bubble: Uh oh. Walked to where I thought the taxi would be. The app said the car was 5 minutes away. We waited. 10 minutes. 15 minutes. Finally, called Grab (again). Apparently, my driver was super-duper confused, and I just had to wait. The app kept saying "Car Trouble", but it was just the driver being confused. Took ages. Finally got back to the apartment.
- 6:00 PM - Dinner and Reflection: It’s getting dark. It’s time for Indonesian food.
- 7:00 PM - Bedtime: I am going to sleep!
Day 3: Temples, Trains, and (Possibly) Getting Lost For Good
- 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM - National Monument (Monas): After a quick breakfast, I'm going for the big one. The iconic Monas. The monument itself is seriously impressive. The view from the top is supposed to be amazing. (Note: I'm currently on the elevator). I saw everything from the top. It was amazing.
- 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM - Exploring the Train: From the transport to the train station, I was a bit confused. The area became a bit chaotic.
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM - A Big Meal and a Nap: Yes I ate. Yes I took a nap.
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM - Temple Time: I'm going to the mosque!
- 7:00 PM - Dinner and… Oh God, Laundry: Time for dinner.
Day 4: Shopping, Souvenirs, and Saying Goodbye (For Now, at Least)
- Morning: Shopping time. I looked for souvenirs, and found the best place.
- Afternoon: Time to say goodbye to my apartment.
- Night: Departure.
Post-Trip Thoughts (or, "What Have I Done?")
- Okay, Jakarta. You were… intense. You were chaotic. You were frustrating. You were beautiful. You were delicious. And secretly, I think I loved every minute of it, even the moments I wanted to scream.
- Next Trip? Oh, yes. I need to return. I need to explore more. I need to order that ridiculously spicy dish I chickened out of. I need to master at least one more Bahasa Indonesian phrase. Wish me luck! (And maybe send me some earplugs for the next red-eye flight).
Jakarta Luxury Getaway: 2BR Bassura City Oasis Awaits! – FAQs (Probably)
Okay, so… is this place *actually* luxurious? 'Cause I've been burned before… (Rant incoming!)
Alright, let's cut the crap. "Luxury" can be a slippery word, right? I remember one time, booked a "luxury villa" in Bali… showed up, and the "pool" was basically a glorified birdbath. The "private chef" was just the local *warung* lady who, bless her heart, wasn't exactly Michelin star material. So yeah, I'm wary.
Here's the deal: Bassura City *attempts* luxury. The photos? Pretty darn slick. Think clean lines, modern furniture… the kind of place you'd see in a design mag. The 2BR? Spacious, which Jakarta desperately needs. Air conditioning? Absolutely, and thank the heavens for it. The pool? Actually looks decent, unlike the aforementioned Bali debacle. So, it's not, like, *true* five-star, caviar-and-champagne luxury. But for Jakarta? For the price? It's certainly leaning toward the upscale side. You're NOT sleeping on a futon in a cupboard. Huge win.
One thing I’m still thinking about is the view. They *promise* a city view, that's something on my mind. I just really hope they won't show over more than few slums. Because… yikes. I mean, I'm not expecting a postcard, but I don't want to feel like I’m peering into a dystopian nightmare on my morning coffee. Fingers crossed… and maybe I’ll bring some noise-canceling headphones. Just in case. Better safe than sorry, right?
Bassura City… where even *is* that? My GPS is my best friend, you know.
Good question! Bassura City is in East Jakarta. Think... not quite the super-glitzy, fancy-pants areas, but still relatively accessible. It's a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest, but that’s Jakarta in a nutshell, isn't it? You'll encounter everything, from fancy buildings to small restaurants. It’s usually okay to go around the location to have a better understanding.
You'll probably need a car (Grab or Gojek are your best friends, and they're cheap!) or, if you're brave, the TransJakarta bus system. Be warned: Jakarta traffic is legendary. Give yourself *plenty* of time to get anywhere. And I mean, PLENTY. I once spent three hours in a taxi just to get to a meeting that was, in theory, a 30-minute drive. True story. So, factor that in. Seriously. Traffic is the enemy.
Two bedrooms… how many people can this thing comfortably fit? 'Cause, you know, "comfortably" is key.
I'd say… four adults max. Maybe five if a kid is thrown in the mix. The bedrooms are usually decent-sized, but you don't want to be crammed in. Think of it like this: Wouldn't want to be cramped, especially after a long day of battling the aforementioned Jakarta traffic. More than four adults, and things are going to get… cozy. Very cozy. And possibly grumpy. Especially if someone hogs the air conditioning controls. Which, speaking from experience, is a recipe for disaster.
Consider the sofa, of course. It's good to have a place to sit. It will make it easier to have a long conversation.
Is there a kitchen? I like to cook (…sometimes). Or at least, make coffee. Coffee is essential.
Generally, yes! Most serviced apartments, especially ones that tout themselves as “luxury,” will have a kitchen. The photos probably show some basic appliances: a stove, a fridge. You'll want to double-check the listing description for specifics. Don't expect a fully stocked chef's kitchen, though. Think more along the lines of "coffee-making capable" and "can handle a frying pan for eggs."
Consider bringing some of your own ingredients if you're serious about cooking. Buying groceries in Jakarta can be a whole adventure, a wonderful one when you get to know the local vendors! If you're feeling lazy (and let's be honest, sometimes you *are*), GrabFood and GoFood are your best friends. Delivery is easy and cheap. Also, remember the coffee! Seriously, bring your own if you're fussy (like me). Instant coffee just doesn't cut it.
What about the amenities? Pool? Gym? That kind of jazz. Because, self-care, people!
Most of these apartment complexes will have a pool. And a gym is a big selling point, so expect to find some basic exercise equipment. I'm not saying you'll be training for the Olympics, but you can probably manage a decent workout. Check the listing for specific details. I always look for photos. It's a mood thing, you know? If the gym looks neglected, then it is likely that the amenities are, too.
Beyond that… sometimes there are other amenities. Maybe a kids' play area. Perhaps a convenience store. Laundry services are usually available. The more "luxury" the place claims to be, the more amenities they usually offer. But, again, double-check. Don’t get your hopes up too high. Disappointment is painful, and you're trying to have fun, after all!
What are some things I should pack when staying at Bassura City?
Besides the obvious (clothes, toiletries, passport… duh), here’s some Jakarta-specific advice:
- Insect repellent: Mosquitoes are relentless. Seriously. Bring the good stuff.
- Sunscreen: Jakarta is hot and sunny. Obvious, but still easy to forget.
- Comfortable shoes: You'll be doing a lot of walking, especially if you're exploring.
- Adapters/Converters: Indonesian outlets are type C and F (two round prongs). Check your electronics.
- A reusable water bottle: Stay hydrated!
- Earplugs: Jakarta can be noisy. Roosters. Traffic. You name it.
- Cash: While credit cards are accepted in some places, smaller vendors and street food stalls often prefer cash.
- A sense of humor: Because things won't always go as planned. Things rarely go as planned in Jakarta, and you have to learn to laugh about it.
Any hidden costs I should be aware of? 'Cause I HATE hidden costs.
