Luxury 2BR Bassura City Apartment: Mall Views & Unbelievable Comfort!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! We're diving headfirst into the Luxury 2BR Bassura City Apartment: Mall Views & Unbelievable Comfort! experience. Forget those sterile, cookie-cutter reviews. I'm going to tell you, warts and all, what it REALLY felt like, because honestly, isn't that what we all crave?
Let's talk ACCESSIBILITY - or lack thereof, first. Okay, so I'm not a wheelchair user, but I'm constantly looking for places that get it. This one? Mixed bag. The elevator is a godsend for people with mobility issues, essential to reach the high floors. Score! Facilities for disabled guests are listed, which is encouraging but further investigation is really needed to understand what is really available on site. I didn't see ramps everywhere, but I could be wrong, and that is the thing you'll need to verify yourself. Access is crucial, and the apartments are designed for easy reach but, be sure to double-check on specific accessibility details BEFORE booking if this is a critical factor.
(And side note to the management - please, for the love of all that is holy, make sure the accessibility information is CRYSTAL CLEAR on your website and listings! I don’t want to have to start calling and annoying the staff just to make sure…)
Wheelchair accessible: needs to be checked. Exterior corridor: This can make getting in and out easier, again, depends on context.
INTERNET! Ah, the digital umbilical cord.
- Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Glorious. Truly. And the strength? Actually decent. I could stream, video call, and guilt-trip my family with endless photos of my luxurious surroundings without losing connection.
- Internet access – wireless Check!
- Internet access – LAN: I didn't personally use it but it's there if you are one of those old-school types who need your wired connection.
- Internet services: All the modern stuff you'd expect.
- Wi-Fi in public areas: Present. It's not like a death grip on your phone, but serviceable.
Okay, now let's get to the good stuff… the part where I could actually relax.
THINGS TO DO, WAYS TO RELAX… Oh, HEAVEN!
- Swimming pool: The outdoor one, specifically. Oh. My. God. Listen, I’m a pool snob. I’ve seen pools. This one, with its pool with a view, had a particular allure. Maybe it was the height, maybe it was the sheer expanse of water shimmering in the sun, but every time I stepped out there, I felt a little bit… regal. A total escape.
- Fitness center and a gym/fitness: I used the fitness center. It was… fine. Functional. Clean. Had the usual array of machines. I wouldn't write home about it, but it does the trick.
- Spa/sauna/steamroom: The sauna was bliss. Not too hot, not too cold, but perfect for melting away the day's stresses.
Now, for all the pampering you can imagine. If that's your vibe, you are in the right place.
- Body scrub, massage, body wrap, and foot bath: The spa menu is pretty extensive, though, I didn't have time to get a massage, a body wrap, and a foot bath. Next time! So many options but not enough time!
CLEANLINESS AND SAFETY - Because, you know, the world is a bit yucky.
Thankfully, Bassura City Apartments seemed really on top of the cleanliness game. Big points for me.

- Breakfast in room: This is like a dream come true.
I got a great breakfast of eggs, bacon, toast, and fruit delivered to my room; it was the perfect way to start the day.
- Breakfast [buffet] Yes! The buffet was pretty standard – a little of everything. Not the best buffet I've ever had, but it's certainly a convenient way to get your fill and not have to worry about searching for breakfast.
- A la carte in restaurant, Asian cuisine in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, and Western cuisine, Salad in restaurant, Soup in restaurant, and Desserts in restaurant: a few options.
- Poolside bar, and Bar: Perfect for a sunset cocktail.

Escape to the Moon: Taiwan's Most Unforgettable Hotel Awaits
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's meticulously planned travel itinerary. This is… my attempt at a trip to the Comfy 2BR above Mall Bassura City Apt By Travelio Indonesia. Prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions, questionable choices, and enough rambling to fill a small novel. Let's GO!
The (Mostly) Unrealistic & Utterly Chaotic Itinerary - Bassura City Bust-Up!
Day 1: Arrival! (Or Should I Say, Alight?) & the Battle for the Remote
08:00 AM (ish) – Departure from… Wherever I’m Leaving From: Okay, details. Let’s just say somewhere not-Jakarta. The pre-trip jitters are kicking in. Did I pack enough snacks? Did I actually email that confirmation to the driver? Probably not. My anxiety has a direct line to my bladder, so this trip is already off to a great start.
11:00 AM (± 3 hours) - Arrival at Soekarno-Hatta Airport (CGK): Flight was late. Naturally. Chaos ensues getting through customs. I swear I saw a guy trying to smuggle a Durian (seriously, the smell!). My blood sugar is plummeting. Need. Coffee. Now.
12:30 PM - Airport Transportation Roulette: Grab a taxi. Negotiate. Get ripped off a little, but hey, I'm alive. The heat and humidity hit like a physical wall. Already sweating. Why did I choose a black shirt? Idiot.
02:00 PM - Check-in at Comfy 2BR above Mall Bassura City Apt By Travelio Indonesia: Okay, finally! Praying the place actually is "comfy." The guy at the lobby speaks almost no English. Hand gestures, people, hand gestures. Find the key, the apartment. It's… decently clean. The aircon is questionable. First priority: find the remote. The Battle of the Remote has begun. (Spoiler alert: I will lose this battle to the TV. Every. Single. Time.)
03:00 PM - The Bassura City Mall Recon Mission: Mall time! Need food, desperately. Explore. Get overwhelmed. The sheer number of food choices is a blessing and a curse. I decide on… something fried. Regret it almost immediately. Overheard a couple bickering about the smallest things. Good to know I'm not the only one who travels with drama.
05:00 PM - Apartment Recovery & Internet Struggles: Collapse on the bed. Try to connect to the Wi-Fi. Fail. Curse the internet gods. Finally succeed. Begin a frantic search for the best Indonesian coffee shop. (I need caffeine, people!)
07:00 PM - Dinner & First Real Taste of Jakarta: Found a warung recommended by a local (thank you, Google Maps!). Ate nasi goreng. So good. Almost wept. The street food scene is… intense. Smells, sights, sounds… it's sensory overload in the best possible way. Almost got run over by a motorbike. Classic Jakarta experience.
09:00 PM – The TV Predicament: Attempt to watch TV. Struggle to understand anything. Subtitles are my only hope. The remote is now the Enemy of the State.
11:00 PM (ish) - Bedtime: Exhausted. The heat. The noise. The food coma. Convinced I'll never sleep thanks to the air conditioner sounding like a dying jet engine. But secretly excited for tomorrow.
Day 2: Culture Shock, Coffee Fixes, and a Monumental Misadventure
08:00 AM - Awake-ish: Aircon is still roaring. Managed to sleep through the night despite the jet engine noise. Need. Coffee. Immediately.
09:00 AM – The Coffee Quest Continues: Armed with my newfound Google Maps skills, I venture out in search of a decent coffee shop. Turns out Jakarta is a caffeine paradise! Find a place with good reviews and, more importantly, strong coffee. Order a kopi susu. Life restored.
10:00 AM - Travel to a Museum (maybe): Right, what's the plan? Some historical stuff. Might hit up the National Museum. Maybe. Jakarta traffic is a nightmare. I'm already gritting my teeth. Consider hiring a driver and a translator, but my budget (and my desire for some kind of independence) dictates otherwise.
11:30 AM - Lost in Translation & The Museum Mishap (this is where it gets interesting): Arrive at a museum. The staff is friendly but the English is… limited. I’m guessing at signs. I manage to get a general understanding through a combination of visual aids and wild guesses. I get the feeling I'm missing a huge amount of context, though. I get completely lost. I stumble into a room and the door locks behind me. Great. It's a storage room. I assume it's a storage room, after all, what else could it be? More importantly, how long am I going to be trapped? I begin to panic. I yell… nothing. After a bit, I realize I'm sweating and not thinking as clearly. A loud banging on the door. The museum staff! They open the door and I am free. I vow to learn some Bahasa Indonesia after that.
02:00 PM - Lunch & Reflection (and Damage Control): Find a hidden street vendor. Eat something delicious and spicy to calm my nerves. Contemplate my near-museum-death experience. I'm seriously the luckiest traveler alive.
03:00 PM - The Shopping Spree: Head back to the mall. Need to buy something. The sheer variety of things available is mind-blowing. I have no idea where to start. Buy a cheap t-shirt. Feel slightly less lost.
05:00 PM - Pre-Dinner Rest & Remote Re-Evaluation: Back to the apartment. Another attempt to tame the remote. Still failing. Need a nap. Wake up. Still sweating.
07:00 PM - Dinner & the Night Market: Explore a night market. More food! More colors! More noise! Trying a dish that looks like a giant jelly blob. It's… interesting. Get catcalled by a motorbike driver, I pretend not to see. This is a whole new level of sensory overload.
09:00 PM - The "I'm Just Going to Look at the TV" Hour: Give up on the remote. Just let the TV be. Watch a show I don't understand. I find the absurdity oddly comforting.
10:00 PM - Contemplations in the Dark: Stare out the window. Realize I'm in a city that beats with a unique pulse. And I'm loving it. Despite the near-death experience, the language barrier, and the relentless heat. Exhausted, but happy.
Day 3: Farewell (and the Last Stand of the Remote)
08:00 AM - The Final Coffee Ritual: One last coffee. Savor it. Need to make the most of it.
09:00 AM - Departure Prep & the Great Pack-Up: Packing. Remember to buy some last minute souvenirs. Trying to decide which of my new t-shirts to wear. Decide on the one that's least wrinkled.
10:00 AM - The Final Battle of the Remote: One last attempt to conquer the remote. Fail. Accept defeat.
11:00 AM - Check-out: Check out of the apartment. Say goodbye to the (barely) familiar lobby guy.
12:00 PM - Airport Bound: The journey back to the airport. Traffic. More sweat. More anxiety.
02:00 PM (ish) - Airport Departure: Security. Waiting. Finally, on the plane. I did it!
Flight Home: Long haul! I probably fall asleep, wake up, eat another meal. Dream of Nasi Goreng and the Jakarta traffic.
Upon Return - Post-Trip Debrief: Unpack. Wash laundry. Sleep for a century. Start planning my next trip, because, despite everything, Jakarta and it's craziness is already calling my name.
See? Messy. Chaotic. Not-exactly-realistic. But, hopefully, a little entertaining (and, maybe, a little relatable). That, my friends, is travel
Trogir Sea View Paradise: Your Dream Apartment Awaits!
Bassura City 2BR Apartment: Before You Leap (or Regret)
Okay, the "Mall Views & Unbelievable Comfort" – Is This Just Marketing Gibberish?
Alright, let's be real. "Unbelievable Comfort" is a *bold* claim. Is it a five-star hotel? Nope. But the comfort factor? Pretty darn good, actually. I remember the first time I visited – I was expecting, you know, the usual Jakarta apartment experience: cement walls, questionable air conditioning... This place genuinely surprised me. The beds? Honestly, they were a lifesaver after a brutal flight. I practically melted into them. And the view *is* pretty amazing, especially at sunset. Though, and this is a big *though*, the mall views sometimes mean mall noise. More on that later...
Seriously, the Mall View? Does it Feel Claustrophobic? Like, Are You Living in a Concrete Box?
Okay, this is a *great* question, because honestly, initial inspection, yeah, you get a slightly 'concrete box' vibe . BUT! That's where the design, the *actual* design, comes in. My friend thought the space felt cramped, but then again, he's used to living *in* a mansion, lol! The layout cleverly uses the space. The natural light you get from the view actually makes a huge difference. Yeah, you're looking *at* a mall, BUT you're also getting a wide-angle view of the city. The sunsets, I swear, they’re worth it. Also, think about the convenience! Need groceries at 10 PM? Bam, downstairs. Craving a ridiculously overpriced coffee? Done. It's a trade-off, folks. You get both the box *and* the convenience.
How Noisy Is It, Really? Because Jakarta's Never Quiet.
This is where things get… complicated. Living in Jakarta is a symphony of noise, isn't it? I thought I was prepared. I had those fancy noise-canceling headphones, the whole shebang. The noise *isn't* constant, thankfully! It's more like… pulses. You get the general city hum, the occasional siren, and then… the mall. Sometimes I can barely hear it, just a faint background thrum. Other times? Oof. During big events, movies being released or even Friday night's karaoke, it's pretty audible. I ended up learning to adapt. I have to. My advice? Bring earplugs. They're your best friend. And, hey, if you *love* the sounds of happy Indonesian families and the latest pop hits, then consider it a bonus!
What About the "Luxury" Part? Is it Overhyped?
Luxury is a strong word, okay? Let's be real. It isn't *the* Four Seasons. But the apartment? Decently furnished, modern appliances, well-maintained. I mean, the bathroom, *that* was a highlight – good water pressure is a HUGE win in Jakarta. The furniture is practical, comfortable. "Luxury" in this context is definitely a step up from some places I’ve seen. My main gripe? The air conditioning. I mean, it worked, thankfully (!), but I really had to learn the subtleties of the thermostat. But look, when you're sweating buckets in the Jakarta heat, *any* air conditioning feels luxurious. So, yeah, not over-the-top, gold-plated luxury, but certainly a comfortable and stylish place to live.
What's the Deal with the "Unbelievable Comfort?" What's the Best and the Worst of it?
Okay, let's break this down. The *best* part of "unbelievable comfort"? For me, it was the peace of mind. Knowing I had a comfortable, safe, and modern place to relax after a long exhausting day in the city. The beds and the soft sheets were everything when I wanted a peaceful sleep. And the convenience factor cannot be overstated. I'm a major fan of being able to walk downstairs for *literally anything*.
However, the *worst* part... that's a mix. The constant noise is something I mentioned, it can be off-putting, to say the least. And yes, the AC sometimes acts like a diva. I also had some issues with the elevator at times. It's a building, after all, and things break. Also the walls? I'm a light sleeper, so I could sometimes hear the neighbors. But honestly? I still felt extremely comfortable, safe, and would recommend it! Overall, quite believable comfort, and in Jakarta, that’s a win.
Is it Family-Friendly?
Yes and no. The apartment itself is spacious enough for a family of four, easily. The amenities in the complex, like the pool and the playground, are fantastic for kids. But the location? This is where it gets tricky. The mall is right there, which is both good and bad. Good: you can grab quick bites, do some shopping, and entertain the kids. Bad: it's crowded, noisy, and can get overwhelming, especially with younger children. Also, the city can be *intense*. I'd strongly recommend considering your kids' ages and their tolerance for chaos before fully committing. Overall though, it's family-friendly, but may require a bit of work.
What's the Internet/Wi-Fi Situation Like?
Well, in Jakarta, you get what you pay for. I can't necessarily say it's *amazing*, but it's generally reliable. Speed is generally decent for streaming, video calls and basic work. But, be prepared for occasional hiccups. Especially during peak hours. Bring a backup plan! (Your phone's hotspot is surprisingly reliable, *sometimes*.) If you're a serious gamer, get yourself a dedicated internet plan, and pray to the WiFi gods. But for the average user? It’s perfectly ok, but don’t expect perfection.
What about the Security? Is it a Safe Place?
Safety is a HUGE priority in large cities, and Bassura City does a pretty solid job. Honestly, I felt very safe there. There are security guards 24/7, and access to the buildings is controlled. I observed a lot of measures, and it gave me peace of mind. The location is also relatively well-lit and patrolled. Bottom line? I never felt unsafe. But, as always, be aware of your surroundings. Keep your wits about you, and don't leave valuables lying around. But yes, compared to many other places I've stayed in Jakarta, the security was a big plus.
