Unbelievable Bekasi Getaway: Cozy Studio in Transpark Juanda!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we’re diving HEADFIRST into the Unbelievable Bekasi Getaway: Cozy Studio in Transpark Juanda! and honestly? The name alone sounds like a fever dream. Let's get this review real and find out if this place actually lives up to the hype, especially for us weary travelers looking for that sweet, sweet escape.
First Impressions & Accessibility (and My Dumb Walk):
Okay, first things first: getting to this place. This matters, right? Especially if you’re like me, a total klutz, or, you know, actually need accessible options. The good news? (Deep breath) I THINK it's decent. "Facilities for disabled guests" are listed, which is a plus. They also have an elevator, which, as someone who once walked 17 flights of stairs because the elevator was broken, is a HUGE win. The listing doesn't scream "wheelchair accessible," so I'm hedging my bets here - call ahead to confirm, especially if mobility is your thing. Look, the entry point can set the tone for the whole trip. I once spent an hour trying to find a hotel in a rural area, driving around in circles. Let's not repeat that.
Internet - The Lifeblood of Modern Existence (and the Reason I Can't Put Down My Phone):
FREE WIFI IN ALL ROOMS!!! Bless. The. Gods. (That's in caps because it's crucial, people.) Seriously. I'm a travel blogger; bad internet is a deal-breaker. They also mention "Internet access – LAN," if you're old-school and into wires. But let's be real, who are we kidding? We're all living on Wi-Fi. There's also Wi-Fi in public areas, which is great. Hopefully it's not the crappiest Wi-Fi in the world, and I can actually upload those Instagram stories of my delicious breakfast (more on that later).
Cleanliness & Safety - Because Germs Are Not My Friends:
Okay, so this is where I start to breathe a LITTLE easier. They’ve got a whole laundry list of COVID-era precautions, which is reassuring. "Anti-viral cleaning products," "Daily disinfection in common areas," "Room sanitization between stays," "Hand sanitizer," "Staff trained in safety protocol." It’s a lot, and honestly, it should be a lot. I'm not going to lie; when staying in a hotel, I'm obsessively wiping down doorknobs and light switches. The fact that they're already doing this gives me a HUGE sigh of relief. "Individually-wrapped food options," "Safe dining setup," and "Sanitized kitchen and tableware items" are all music to my germaphobe ears.
The Foodie Rundown - Because, Seriously, Where Are We Eating?:
Alright, let's talk sustenance. I'm hungry just thinking about this. Here's the buffet of options: Restaurants, Coffee shop, Snack bar, Poolside bar. Plus "Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant”. A la carte options too! My stomach is doing a little happy dance. I hope the coffee is decent. A bad coffee can ruin a whole day. There’s also room service, which is perfect for those lazy, "I don't wanna leave my cozy studio" days. Let’s be honest, I might just hole up in the room and order everything. I'm also super curious about the "Vegetarian restaurant." Gotta cater to those veggie friends!
Things to Do & Ways to Relax - Will I Actually Leave the Room?:
This is where Transpark Juanda REALLY shines, or so it would seem. I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone to take a look at these activities. Prepare to be amazed!: Swimming pool [outdoor] … Pool with view, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Fitness center, Gym/fitness, Massage, Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath. Okay, I’m already picturing myself in a fluffy robe, getting a massage. The pool with a view? That's a must. And the spa? OMG YES! I have a weakness to feeling relaxed. I'm already booking a week.
My Personal "OMG I NEED THIS" Experience (And the Minor Annoyance):
Okay, let's be honest; I'm a sucker for a good view. Even if it’s just of the… well, of a parking lot, I can pretend. Anyway, this place is boasting that "Pool with view" so I'm sold. I'm picturing myself, floating weightlessly, a cocktail in hand, staring at the sky. If there's a sunset involved? Pure bliss. (I might also have to secretly sneak in some snacks for later; gotta be prepared.)
And a minor annoyance? I wish they offered an English breakfast. Seriously, a full English breakfast is a proper start to the day. But hey, I'm not going to complain too much.
The Cozy Studio - Does it Actually Feel Cozy?
Okay, the name is "Cozy Studio," so expectations are high! They list a TON of amenities: Air conditioning, alarm clock, bathrobes, bathtub, blackout curtains, coffee/tea maker, complimentary tea, daily housekeeping, desk, extra long bed, free bottled water, hair dryer, in-room safe box, internet access – wireless, ironing facilities, laptop workspace, mini bar, non-smoking, private bathroom. Basically, the works! The fact that they have blackout curtains is a godsend, because let's face it, I need to sleep. Ironing facilities? Score! I'm the type of person to iron EVERYTHING - even my socks.
Services & Conveniences - The Little Things That Make a Big Difference:
This is where the hotel either shines or utterly fails. (Cough… I’m looking at you, hotels with no outlets near the bed!). They have: Air conditioning in public area, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Indoor venue for special events, Invoice provided, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities, Safety deposit boxes, Terrace. So, a pretty comprehensive list. The "Concierge" makes me feel fancy. The "Convenience store" is crucial for late-night snack runs. "Luggage storage”? Excellent, because I always arrive early and leave late.
For the Kids - (Because I’m a Big Kid, Too):
Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal - This place is a WINNER if you've got kids in tow. I'm not at that stage yet, but it's good to know!
Getting Around and the Fine Print:
Airport transfer, Bicycle parking, Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Car power charging station, Taxi service, Valet parking. Parking is free? Awesome. That's always a bonus. Also, they have taxi service, which is helpful, if I'm feeling lazy and want to go to the airport (or want to go anywhere).
Security and Safety - Breathe Easy!
Access, CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, Check-in/out [express], Check-in/out [private], Exterior corridor, Fire extinguisher, Front desk [24-hour], Non-smoking rooms, Smoke alarms, Soundproof rooms, Security [24-hour] – I feel safer already!

Escape to Paradise: Depok's Hidden Gem, Relaxing Studio Evenciio MargondaAlright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to document my (likely chaotic) adventure at the Cozy Look Studio Transpark Juanda By Travelio in Bekasi, Indonesia. This isn't a perfectly polished travel blog; this is your raw, unfiltered peek into the mind of a slightly-over-caffeinated traveler.
Bekasi Bound! (aka The Pre-Trip Panic)
- Days Before: Okay, let's be real. I'm terrible at packing. Always. I get this weird pre-trip anxiety where I'm convinced I'll need a full-on spacesuit. So, clothes are strewn everywhere, travel-sized toiletries are mysteriously missing (where did that tiny shampoo go?), and I'm pretty sure I'm packing three different kinds of sunscreen. Oh, and the ever-present fear: "Did I forget my passport?!?" (Spoiler alert: I always triple-check it.)
- Morning of: The alarm screams. I hit snooze. Five times. Seriously, I'm not a morning person. Finally drag myself out of bed, convinced I haven't slept a wink. Quick coffee (essential!) and a panicked scramble to grab my laptop (work never truly stops, does it?) and the now-packed-but-still-looking-like-a-bomb-went-off suitcase.
Day 1: Arrival and the "Studio" Reveal
- 1:00 PM: Arrival at the Soekarno-Hatta Airport (CGK), Jakarta. Oh boy, the heat! You know you're in Indonesia when the humidity hits you like a warm, slightly-smothering hug. Quick grab-and-go lunch: Nasi Goreng (because, when in Rome… or, you know, Indonesia). Now for some Grab to Transpark Juanda.
- 3:00 PM: Check-in at Cozy Look Studio. Ah, the place. It's… cozy. Okay, it's very cozy. Tiny but functional, which is the whole experience. The staff is friendly, though I swear the air conditioning is… working. It has something to do with the time that it's working. I'm not complaining, though. It makes everything comfortable.
- 4:00 PM: Exploring the neighborhood. So here's the thing: Bekasi is a city of contrasts. One minute, you're dodging motorcycles and street vendors hawking everything under the sun. The next, you're staring at some sleek building or a colorful mural that I want to capture. I'm not going to lie, it's a bit disorienting but in a good way.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner at a local Warung. The smells alone are worth the trip. The food, ah, the food! Spicy, flavorful, and ridiculously cheap. I swear, I ate more fried chicken in one sitting than I usually do in a month. My stomach is happy. My wallet is even happier.
- 8:00 PM: Settling into the routine. Lights dimmed, downloaded a new series to my laptop for a relaxing night. Decided to turn off my air condition, because it made a lot of noise.
Day 2: Transmart Adventure & Food Glorious Food!
- 9:00 AM: Rise and Shine! After a decent night's sleep, I'm ready to explore! First thing: breakfast. I found a small, local bakery selling traditional Indonesian pastries. They taste so good, as if I'd been transported to a world of flaky delights.
- 10:00 AM: Transmart. Okay, this isn't just any shopping mall. It's like a mini-city! There's everything, including a grocery store, a movie theater, many shops, and an indoor (yes, indoor!) amusement park. I felt like a kid again, walking through the bright lights and chattering crowds.
- 12:00 PM: Transpark Juanda. Let's be honest, I'm skipping the amusement park to enjoy the food. I went around and saw all the food vendors. I wanted to try them all; the smell of the food got me hungry.
- 2:00 PM: Back at the studio. Time for a nap. The heat, the crowds, the sheer sensory overload… it all catches up to you. A quick power nap is essential for survival.
- 4:00 PM: Back to the street. Wandering through the roads, I found a local bookstore. Books are my addiction that I can't get rid of. It's a good thing I didn't bring a lot of luggages because I would buy more.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner, the second round. More chicken. This time I'm opting for a different style. Satay.
- 8:00 PM: Planning for tomorrow.
Day 3: Departure and Post-Trip Musings
- 9:00 AM: Final breakfast! One last taste of that incredible local bread. It almost makes me want to stay… almost.
- 10:00 AM: Checking out. The most bittersweet moment of any trip. The relief of not having to pack, but the sad realization that it's all over.
- 11:00 AM: Headed back to the airport.
- 1:00 PM: The Flight Back! The airplane seats are cramped and I'm already missing the food. I'm already dreaming about my next trip!
Postscript – The Aftermath (and My Feelings!)
So, there you have it. My Bekasi adventure. Definitely imperfect, definitely chaotic, and definitely memorable.
The Good: The food. Oh. My. God. The food. Hands down, the highlight. The people are kind, even though I barely speak a word of Indonesian.
The Not-So-Good: The air conditioning. But, let's be honest, it's a minor inconvenience.
Final Verdict: Would I recommend the Cozy Look Studio? Yeah, I think so. It's a good base for exploring Bekasi, especially if you're on a budget. Just be prepared for a little bit of organized chaos… just like me.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go unpack and plan my next adventure. Where to next…? The world is my oyster (probably with a side of nasi goreng).
