Tangerang's BEST Studio Sky House? (Travelio BSD Gem!)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we are diving HEADFIRST into the glorious, sometimes messy, and utterly captivating world of Tangerang's BEST Studio Sky House? (Travelio BSD Gem!). This isn't your boring, cookie-cutter hotel review. We're going DEEP. Prepare for a rollercoaster of opinions, observations, and probably some tangents. Consider this your unofficial, totally unvarnished, and probably grammatically challenged guide.
First Impressions & Accessibility: Hitting the Ground Running (or stumbling, depending)
Okay, let's be real. Getting to the Sky House, specifically the Travelio version, can be a bit of a…well, adventure. Tangerang traffic? Let's just say it keeps you on your toes. However, once you're there, the accessibility is pretty solid. (Accessibility) The building itself is modern and, from what I could see, pretty user-friendly for those with mobility issues. Elevator is key. Finding the entrance, however, felt a bit like a treasure hunt. Signage could be a little clearer.
Getting In & Out: The Dreaded Logistics
Check-in/out [express], Check-in/out [private], Contactless check-in/out These are HUGE wins in the age of the apocalypse (or, you know, just germs). I’m all about that contactless life, especially knowing Rooms sanitized between stays. You feel like you’re actually being cared for. Praise the lord for 24-hour Front desk too. I'm a night owl and needing something in the middle of the night is inevitable.
Cleanliness and Safety: My OCD's New Best Friend
Listen, I’m a bit of a germaphobe. Don’t judge. So, when I see things like "Anti-viral cleaning products" and "Professional-grade sanitizing services," my heart does a little happy dance. Daily disinfection in common areas is also a major plus. Let’s be honest, everyone wants to relax. And knowing I’m not wading through a petri dish is a huge selling point. Rooms sanitized between stays, with room sanitization opt-out available are great touches.
Inside the Room: My Sanctuary…Maybe?
Alright, the studio itself? Pretty darn good. (Available in all rooms) Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Air conditioning, Bathrobes, Blackout curtains, Closet, 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, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens.
The bed was comfy… mostly. Extra long bed - I like it! The blackout curtains were essential for blocking out the Jakarta sun (and my existential dread). The Wi-Fi [free] worked… sometimes. I mean, let's be honest, it's hotel Wi-Fi, so temper your expectations. Don't expect streaming video, you might just get a buffering experience. But hey, it was free! So, no complaints. And the coffee/tea maker? A lifesaver, especially for my morning survival ritual.
The Little Things That Count (or Don't):
- Toiletries were decent, but let's be honest, I always bring my own.
- On-demand movies? Nice touch for those lazy nights.
- Linens: Clean and crisp, a definite win.
- Internet access – LAN: If you’re a digital nomad, this is a solid win!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Fun
Okay, the food scene here is…varied. A la carte in restaurant, Alternative meal arrangement, 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. You’re not going to starve. The Breakfast [buffet] was… well, it was breakfast. Nothing to write home about, but it filled the hole. Room service [24-hour] is always a win. I had a midnight snack, and it was…acceptable. The poolside bar is good for keeping hydrated.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: The Whole Point, Right?
This is where Sky House really shines. I’m more of a “chill by the pool” person, but the Swimming pool [outdoor] is gorgeous. The Pool with view is stunning. I could practically feel the stress melting away. Speaking of stress…
- Fitness Center: I attempted to use this. Let’s just say my motivation was lacking. Still, a nice option for the motivated.
- Spa: YES.
- Spa/sauna, Steamroom: YES YES YES!
The Spa: An Ode to Relaxation (and Possibly Napping)
Okay, I indulged in the spa. And let me tell you, it was HEAVEN. Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, Massage. Pure, unadulterated bliss. I may or may not have drifted off during my massage. Don't judge me. The sauna and steamroom were perfect for detoxing. I went back the next day, too. It was, frankly, worth the trip alone.
For the Kids:
Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal. Didn't use these, but it's great for families.
Services and Conveniences: The Practical Stuff
Concierge, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Luggage storage, Safety deposit boxes, Smoking area. The concierge were helpful. I did use the luggage storage, because I'm a hoarder and brought way too much.
Getting Around:
Airport transfer, Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Taxi service, Valet parking. Using either a taxi or the free parking is perfect.
The Imperfections: What Could Be Better:
- The layout can be a little confusing, especially at first. The signage could be improved.
- The Wi-Fi, as previously mentioned, has its off days.
- Didn’t notice any Pets allowed , so I can’t comment on that.

YES! Absolutely, yes. Tangerang's BEST Studio Sky House? (Travelio BSD Gem!) is a fantastic option, especially if you value relaxation, cleanliness, and a touch of luxury. Okay, fine, just because it has a good spa. Plus, with all the measures they've taken for safety, you can relax knowing you’re in good hands.

Escape to Paradise: Rakuten STAY VILLA on Miyakojima's Pristine Beach!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your Grandma's perfectly curated travel itinerary. This is the real deal. Welcome to my brain, pre-vacation jitters and all! We're talking Nice, France, then a crash landing in the Comfort Studio Sky House BSD By Travelio in Tangerang, Indonesia. (Honestly, the names are already exhausting, so let's just keep it moving.)
Phase 1: Nice - The Dream (Maybe a Little Too Much Dream?)
Day 1: Bonjour, Buongiorno, Whatever! (And Jet Lag Bites)
- Morning (5:00 AM, or what feels like it): Woke up in a cold sweat, convinced I'd forgotten my passport. Found it clutched in my death grip. Success! Now, the airport. The sheer effort of getting there is already making me question all my life choices. Flight from… well, it doesn't matter, the journey to get here was as long as the flight itself.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM Nice Time, ish): LANDED! France! Finally! Except… jet lag slammed me like a rogue wave. Eyes blurry, brain mushy. The taxi driver, bless his soul, drove faster than I could process. He was muttering in rapid-fire French. I just nodded and smiled. "Oui, oui! Magnifique!" Even though I understood exactly zero of it. The hotel room? Small. But hey, it's got a balcony. Balcony = instant upgrade in my book.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Tried to be all sophisticated. Wandered down to the Promenade des Anglais. Oh. My. GOD. The Mediterranean is stunning. Like, postcard-worthy, stop-you-in-your-tracks, makes-you-want-to-ugly-cry-for-the-beauty stunning. Felt a bit overwhelmed by the sheer… glamour. Ended up ordering a pizza from a little cafe. The pizza, however, well… let's just say I've had better. Then I promptly passed out. Jet lag is a monster.
Day 2: Art, Anxiety, and Another Pizza (But a Better One, I Swear!)
- Morning (9:00 AM - Finally, a reasonable hour!): Tried to tackle the Musée Matisse. The art was beautiful. The crowds, however, were not. I wanted to actually look at the paintings, but every five seconds someone bumped into me, or the tiny security guards started doing some weird "move along" dance. Felt claustrophobic. Needed air.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Found a tiny, hidden bakery and bought a baguette. This was my best decision so far. Ate it, baguette and all, in a park and watched the world go by. Perfect. Felt like I’d finally managed a tiny bit of joie de vivre.
- Afternoon (4:00 PM - The Anti-Climax Hour): Old Town. The narrow streets were chaotic, a beautiful, glorious chaos. Got slightly lost and had a minor panic attack trying to find the little gelato place I'd read about. Seriously considered giving up gelato forever.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Actually found the gelato place. The gelato was worth the near-death experience. Followed that up with actual dinner, which, praise the Lord, was a pretty decent pizza. Starting to think pizza is the ultimate travel barometer.
Day 3: The Beach, The Breeze, and the Questionable Sunburn
- Morning (10:00 AM): Beach time! Spent a ridiculous amount of time deciding what to wear. Finally settled on the most unflattering swimsuit I own, because comfort. The water was chilly, but the sun was… intense.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM): Realized I'd forgotten sunscreen. Cue the panic. By 4:00 PM, my shoulders looked like overripe tomatoes. Spent the rest of the day slathering on aloe vera and hiding in the shade. Lesson learned: Sunscreen. Seriously.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Dinner at a seaside restaurant. The waiter was charming, until he brought the bill. Suddenly, charm disappeared and reality set in… my bank account was crying. Worth it, though. The sunset was spectacular.
Day 4: Goodbye, Nice (Sob!)… Hello, Tangerang! (Wait, What?)
- Morning (8:00 AM): Heartbreakingly, packing my bags. I wanted to stay. Nice (and the pizza!) was already starting to feel like home.
- Afternoon: The flight to Jakarta felt endless. Airport chaos. Security lines. The general air of impending doom that always seems to accompany travel days.
- Evening (10:00 PM – Jakarta time - this time change is MESSING WITH ME!): Landed! Now, off to Tangerang!
Phase 2: Comfort Studio Sky House BSD By Travelio - The Reality Check
Day 5: Jakarta, Here I am. The Long-Lost Cousins of My Sanity
- Morning (Whenever I wake up - jet lag. Still.): Finding the apartment was an adventure in itself. Directions were vague, and I questioned my navigation skills. It was like a game of "find the apartment," with me as the bewildered participant.
- Afternoon: The apartment itself? Clean. Modern. A slightly sterile. Okay, fine, it's perfectly functional. But does it have soul? Does it have the charm of a crumbling French building? Nope.
- Evening: Tried the local cuisine. Spicy. Delicious. My stomach might be screaming, but my taste buds are happy.
Day 6: Exploring Tangerang (Maybe?) – The Intention is There, Folks!
- Morning (Maybe?): Woke up with the intention to explore Tangerang. Did I? Well, that's up for debate.
- Afternoon: Ended up spending most of the afternoon battling the Wi-Fi. (Why is Wi-Fi always such a struggle?!)
- Evening: Contemplated an Indian Feast. Ordered the Indian Feast. Ate the Indian Feast. Fell asleep to the city's sounds, a million tiny noises that were like a different world.
Day 7: Departure – And a Plea for More Vacation Days!
- Morning: Packing. Again. This time, I knew exactly what to do.
- Afternoon: Off to the airport. I found the journey back was like a roller coaster.
- Evening: Back home! And immediately started planning my next trip. This time… I want more pizza. And less jet lag.
Quirks, Rambles, and Raw Truth Bombs:
- Emotions: I’m a messy traveler. I get stressed. I laugh. Cry. Get overwhelmed. Sometimes I even have fun!
- Pizza Ranking: The Nice pizza was… okay. The Tangerang pizza, so far so good.
- Transportation: This isn't a glamorous journey. It's got buses and subway trains, and it cost too much money for taxi rides.
- Food: I ate everything!
- The Sunburn: Still peeling. Regrets? Only that I didn't slather enough sunscreen on my shoulders.
- Jet Lag: A beast. It’s still a fight.
Okay, friends, that's all. Go travel. Get lost. Eat pizza. And for pity's sake, wear sunscreen! And try to go on the road less traveled, not to some of the more well-known tourist traps.
And now, for my own sanity, I need a nap.

Sky House Tangerang: The Truth… (and Why It's Complicated!)
Okay, so… Sky House Tangerang. Is it *actually* a "Gem" like they say? (Asking for a friend… and myself, frankly.)
Ooh, the "Gem" label? It's… complicated. Look, the *view*? Absolutely stunning. Especially from the higher floors. Think Instagramable sunsets, city lights twinkling… the works. One time, I was there, completely zonked from a 14-hour flight (true story!), and I just slumped on the balcony. Honestly, the view nearly made me cry. Pretty sure half my Instagram followers thought I’d spontaneously developed advanced ASMR. But… (and there's always a 'but,' isn't there?)… it’s not all golden sunsets and balmy breezes.
Travelio BSD Gem? What’s the deal with Travelio and Sky House in the same sentence? Are we talking hidden treasure or a cleverly disguised trap?
Alright, Travelio… They handle the booking, the check-in process, the whole shebang. My experience? Mixed, to put it mildly. One time (and I swear this is true) the key handover involved a scavenger hunt in an abandoned parking garage. Okay, maybe not *that* dramatic, but the instructions were… vague. Think "Look for a green box… behind a rusty pipe… maybe?" Then there was the time I booked, and the apartment looked *nothing* like the photos. The kitchenware resembled something from a dusty antique shop. I had to call their customer service, which was... an experience. Let's just say I'm pretty sure the person on the other end was also simultaneously trying to wrangle three screaming kids and pay their bills. The "Gem" part is definitely the location, and the *potential* for an amazing stay. But Travelio? Their service can be… a bit of a dice roll.
Speaking of the location… what’s *actually* near Sky House? I need my caffeine fix, guys! (and maybe a decent meal after that scavenger hunt of a check-in)
Okay, caffeine. Priority number one, I totally get it. There are a few coffee shops scattered around, the usual chains are present, so you're covered on the caffeine front. Food-wise? BSD City itself is a dining wonderland, a bit of a trek from Sky House, though. Food delivery *is* your friend here. Seriously, download the apps. You name it, they'll deliver it. I went full-blown food delivery one week and basically ate my way through half the menu. Don't judge me! It was research, okay? Research! From street food to fancy restaurants, you're covered. Just… plan ahead and factor in potential traffic. You're not exactly escaping the city life.
The Pool! It looks amazing in the photos! Is it all it's cracked up to be, or is it overcrowded?
The pool… Ah, the siren song of the turquoise water. Honestly? It *is* beautiful. The infinity pool especially. But. Here's the thing. It *can* get crowded. Very crowded, especially on weekends. I, personally, have a deep-seated hatred of crowded pools. I prefer to wallow in my private sorrows in peace. So, if you're dreaming of a secluded, peaceful swim, avoid the peak hours. Aim for early mornings or mid-week. Be prepared to dodge rogue inflatable flamingos. One time, I almost lost an eye to a rogue inflatable. No joke. My glasses saved me. But again, the view from the pool? Chef's kiss. Worth the potential flamingo-related injuries.
What about the apartment itself? Is it clean? Comfortable? Or am I going to be dodging cockroaches and using questionable bed linens?
Okay, deep breath. The apartments *generally* are clean, but quality can vary. This is where you're relying on luck and the specific Travelio unit. Read reviews! Scour them for clues! Look for comments about cleanliness, the state of the furniture, the condition of the bathroom. I’ve stayed in some apartments that were immaculate, and others… well, let's just say I spent the first hour doing a serious inspection with antibacterial wipes. Bed linens? Again, depends. Sometimes, fluffy and fresh. Other times, vaguely stained and thin. Pack your own sheets if you're a super-sensitive sleeper. Cockroaches? Thankfully, I haven't encountered any armies, but it's always a good idea to be vigilant. It's Southeast Asia, after all.
Is it good for kids? Or is it more for couples?
Kids? Hm. It *could* be good. Playground, swimming pool. But keep a close eye on them near the pool and the balconies (those views, remember? Also, easy access to the outside). For couples? Definitely romantic potential. The sunsets, the city lights… it sets a mood. I went with my partner, and it was a pretty great stay when everything was perfect, the views were *amazing* and our time was more relaxed. BUT… (there’s that ‘but’ again!)… If you get a dud apartment or any issues with your booking, romance can quickly evaporate. Think less candlelight, more heated phone calls to Travelio customer service. Choose wisely, people! Check the reviews, prepare for the unexpected.
Seriously, would you recommend staying at Sky House Tangerang? Give me the brutal truth!
Okay, the brutal, messy, truthful truth… It’s a gamble. You're gambling on the quality of the specific apartment, the efficiency of Travelio, and the weather (because those sunsets are nothing without a clear sky). BUT. If you go in with realistic expectations, do your research, and you get lucky? You could have an absolutely *amazing* stay. The potential is there. The views are legendary. Just… be prepared for minor inconveniences. Pack your patience and your sense of humor. Oh, and maybe some extra hand sanitizer. You’ll need it.
What's the best thing about Sky House if everything sounds so chaotic?
The best thing? The *possibility*. The possibility of a genuinely good time. The possibility of waking up to an amazing sunrise. The possibility of escaping the daily grind, even if it's just for a weekend. And that, honestly, is what keeps me coming back. Even after the parking garage scavenger hunts and the questionable linens. The possibility of finding a hidden gem, despite the occasional rough edges. The thrill of the unpredictable. That’s the best thing, and that, my friends, is life.
