Tokyo-Style Luxury Awaits: Brand New Riverside Studio in Tangerang!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the "Tokyo-Style Luxury Awaits: Brand New Riverside Studio in Tangerang!" experience. Forget the polished brochure – this is the REAL DEAL, unfiltered and, well, probably a little bit chaotic, just like life. Let's get messy!
First Impressions & The Riverside Vibe (The 'Wow Factor' or 'Meh' Factor?!)
Okay, so… "Tokyo-Style Luxury." Big words, right? I'm thinking minimalist, clean lines, maybe a tiny zen garden. Tangerang. Okay, less immediate zen garden fantasies and more… hopeful expectations. Getting there was a breeze – Airport Transfer was a godsend after a long flight. The Car Park [on-site] was a plus, and the **Car Park [free of charge] ** was even better! (Free Parking! Seriously, that's a win in any city!)
The "Riverside" part… well, let's just say my initial glimpse was less "gondola ride in Venice" and more "pleasant view of a slightly less-urbanized waterway." Don't get me wrong, it was nice. Clean. But "Tokyo-Style Luxury" with a view? I'd say "Tokyo-Inspired with Riverside Adjacent". Still, the Terrace offered a lovely spot for a morning coffee, and the sound of the water was undeniably calming (perfect for washing away the stress of life, or at least, laundry day).
Accessibility & Safety: Because We ALL Need to Get Around
Alright, let's talk about the important stuff. Is this place actually functional? The Elevator was a relief – especially with my suitcase. (Side note: I nearly tripped over a potted plant on the way to the elevator. Just, you know, a heads-up!). I saw Facilities for disabled guests mentioned, which is fantastic. The Check-in/out [express] was super efficient because, honestly, I hate waiting in lines. And speaking of lines, the Front desk [24-hour] gives me peace of mind -- late-night cravings for a snack can be satisfied. Safety? CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property are reassuring, as are the Fire extinguisher, Smoke alarms, and Security [24-hour]. Good job, team!
Internet, Glorious Internet! (And Other Techy Bits)
Okay, so, the Wi-Fi situation. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! YES! I’m a digital nomad so I NEED internet. The Internet access – wireless signal in my room was strong enough to stream a movie without a hitch (essential). They also had Internet [LAN] if you’re old school. Good to have options!
The Rooms: Tokyo-Inspired… In Tangerang?
The room itself? Clean, modern, and yes, it did have a hint of Tokyo-esque simplicity. Think functional, not overly fussy. The Air conditioning worked a treat (vital in this climate), the Blackout curtains were a lifesaver for sleep-in days, and the Bed was comfy, though I probably should have double-checked the width if I'm honest - extra long bed is a bonus though! The Bathroom? Modern, clean, with a fantastic Shower. I did get lost in the massive mirror for an embarrassing amount of time. The Coffee/tea maker and Free bottled water were champions. I even had a seating area! (Score!)
The All-Important Amenities: Eat, Drink, and Be Merry (Or Just Survive Breakfast)
This is where things get interesting. Let's be REAL: the "luxury" of a hotel can hinge on the food. Here’s the breakdown:
- Food, Glorious Food: The Breakfast [buffet] was… fine. Nothing mind-blowing, but it had the usual suspects. Western breakfast and Asian breakfast options were both available. However, the Coffee/tea in restaurant was not terrible, but not great. I needed a kickstart, and this didn’t provide it. Still the restaurants have A la carte in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, Salad in restaurant, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western cuisine in restaurant options.
- Drinks, Anyone?: I spotted a Poolside bar, bonus points.
- Room Service: Room service [24-hour] is a godsend when you're tired and want to eat your weight in snacks in peace and quiet.
- Eating Considerations: You can also find Bottle of water in the room, and Breakfast takeaway service.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax (Spa Day, Anyone?)
They had a lot of options.
- Relaxation & Pampering: A Spa/sauna, Foot bath, a Massage, Body scrub, and Body wrap. Yes, please!
- Wellness: Fitness center, a Gym/fitness area, Sauna, and Steamroom are present.
- Fun in the Sun: The Swimming pool (outdoor) looked inviting.
- Things to see: The Shrine is a nice cultural point.
My favorite part? The Pool with view. Absolutely stunning. I may or may not have spent an entire afternoon there. (Don't judge me!) The Spa was AMAZING however, I do wish the spa had a bit more character.
Cleanliness & Safety: Are We Safe From the Germs?!
In a post-pandemic world, this is CRUCIAL. The Hand sanitizer stations were plentiful, which is a relief. The Daily disinfection in common areas and Rooms sanitized between stays are reassuring. I noticed the Anti-viral cleaning products and Staff trained in safety protocol. Plus, you can request Room sanitization opt-out available. Good stuff.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Niceties
This is where hotels can truly shine. The Daily housekeeping was much appreciated, and the Laundry service was a lifesaver (seriously, who packs enough clean clothes?). The Concierge was helpful; helpful in pointing me in the right direction and even offering their Daily housekeeping services. They also have a Cash withdrawal machine, a Convenience store, Currency exchange.
For the Kids (And Their Tired Parents)
There is also a Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, and Kids facilities.
The Quirks, the Imperfections, the Honest Truth…
Look, this isn't a five-star palace with robot butlers. But it's a solid, comfortable, and well-located hotel. There were a few minor hiccups (like me getting lost in the lobby and the slightly underwhelming coffee). But hey -- no place is perfect, right?

Uncover the Magic: Yemaya de Laiya's Cocotel Batangas Paradise!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the beautifully chaotic mess that is my travel itinerary for Studio Brand New Tokyo Riverside PIK 2 By Travelio in Tangerang, Indonesia. Hold onto your hats, because this isn't your polished, perfectly-planned guidebook. This is real life, with all the glorious screw-ups and unexpected joys.
Day 1: Arrival & The Great Noodle Debacle (aka, "I'm Pretty Sure I Ordered Something Evil")
- Morning (Jakarta's Embrace): Touchdown at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. After the obligatory sweating-profusely-while-queuing-for-immigration (seriously, Jakarta humidity is a beast), I'm grabbing a Grab to my PIK 2 haven. I booked this specific Travelio place (Studio Brand New Tokyo Riverside, remember – long name!) because the pictures looked ridiculously sleek. Fingers crossed it lives up to the hype. Let's be honest, I chose it because, after 20 hours of travel, I wanted to feel like I'd stepped into a magazine spread, even if my hair looked like a bird's nest.
- Afternoon (The Quest for Sustenance): Arrive at the Travelio. Check-in, and let the unpacking chaos begin. I will most likely unpack slowly, finding things two days later when I need them. I guess that will make me more surprised and happy!
- Lunch Disaster Strikes (The Noodle Incident): Okay, this is where things went sideways. Hunger hit me hard. Armed with my rusty Bahasa Indonesia (mostly "terima kasih" and "satu bir, tolong"), I ventured out into the wilds of PIK 2. I was after a ramen. I found a place! I ordered a noodle soup dish which I thought was a safe, light soup but I was so wrong. What arrived was a volcanic eruption of chili oil, questionable meats I think were duck, and what appeared to be a single, solitary chili pepper, staring back at me like a judgmental eye. I took one bite and it was the equivalent of setting my mouth on fire. I actually broke into a sweat inside the air-conditioned restaurant. I swallowed it down with my ice-cold water. I had to pay for the thing of evil. I smiled, though with tears in my eyes.
- Recovery Mode: Back to the Travelio. Rehydrating. Contemplating the meaning of life, the universe, and whether my taste buds would ever forgive me. I watched some telly in the room until I was able to sleep.
- Evening (Riverside Stroll & Regret): After a nap, I attempt a "relaxing" walk along the Tokyo Riverside. Beautiful views. Too bad my stomach is still plotting revenge against me from the hellish noodle meal. I grab some plain water, and go back in the room.
Day 2: Culture & the Coffee Conspiracy (and the Unexpected Cat Encounter)
- Morning (Fueling Up with Faith): I wake up, and I make myself coffee with the provided coffee maker thingy. It was so good. I decide, against my better judgement, to be adventurous and try some Indonesian coffee. God, the smell alone was intoxicating. This time I'm getting breakfast at the hotel.
- Afternoon (The Temple & the Sensory Overload): A side trip to the local Buddhist temple. The architecture is stunning, the incense smells divine, and I have to admit, I felt a genuine sense of peace wash over me. The colors, the sounds, the sheer artistry of it all…absolutely breathtaking. Okay, maybe I'm getting sentimental, but it was beautiful. I could spend hours! I wish I could, but that would mean missing an entire restaurant.
- Afternoon (The Coffee Conspiracy): Lunch! I found a cute little cafe. I ordered and I had to wait. And wait. It took half an hour before my meal came. It was worth it. The drink was a special concoction of cold brew, syrup, and a splash of lemon. It was heavenly.
- Late Afternoon (Cat Rescue (Maybe?)): As I'm heading back to the room, a cat runs in front of me. This one seems to be a stray. It looked at me. I looked at it. It starts walking toward me, meowing. So I followed it. I walked around the area. It follows me into the building. I start speaking to it. I give it some water. I think it might adopt me.
- Evening (Sushi & Soul-Searching): I was not able to find the cat, which made me feel sad. I went back to my room. I order some sushi to go from the local shop. I ate it in my room. I sat and watched television. I felt ok, and ate my sushi.
Day 3: Beach Bliss & the Lost Key Fiasco
- Morning (Beach Day, Finally!): Today, I'm actually going to the beach. Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK), known for its swanky beach clubs. I got there early so I can find a nice spot, hopefully not too crowded. I read my book, eat some snacks, and just soak up the sun and the sea. Pure bliss. I take pictures and selfies.
- Afternoon (Key Drama): Heading back to the Travelio. And…I can't find my room key. Panic sets in. Frantically patting down my pockets, emptying my bag…nothing. I run back to the beach. I go back to the shop. Back to the place I ate. No key. I have to go back and ask for help.
- The Great Key Hunt: I explained to the people at the front desk. They were surprisingly understanding! Bless them. After a moment of intense negotiation (with my terrible Bahasa), a repair guy takes me back to my room.
- The Aftermath: Back in my room. Deep breaths, and I try to start over. Not much is left of the day.
- Evening (Dinner & Reflection): I order delivery from a small street vendor. I eat it while I read the book. Realizing I can't go to sleep right away, I end up working.
Day 4: Departure & the Lingering Memories (and the "I'll Be Back" Feeling)
- Morning (Farewell to Paradise): Last breakfast. The final packing. Taking a moment to just be in the apartment. Even despite the noodle trauma and the key fiasco, I'm already feeling a pang of sadness about leaving. This place, this experience, got under my skin.
- Afternoon (Airport Bound (and the Final Thoughts)): Heading back to the airport. As I fly away, I find myself already planning my return.
- Evening (The End… For Now): Goodbye to Indonesia.
Tokyo-Style Luxury Awaits: Brand New Riverside Studio in Tangerang! -- (My Chaotic Q&A)
Okay, spill. What *exactly* is this "Tokyo-Style Luxury" everyone's raving about? Is it, like, actual Tokyo, or a Tangerang-fied version? 'Cause I'm picturing tiny apartments with… okay, never mind, I'm scared.
Alright, alright, hold your horses! So, “Tokyo-Style” is a bit… interpretive. Think sleek, minimalist design, probably featuring a lot of light wood and maybe even a teeny tiny tatami mat corner if we’re lucky. It’s NOT, I repeat, NOT a direct teleportation from Shibuya. You’re still in Tangerang. Think… a *suggestion* of Tokyo. A whisper of it. Like, the *idea* of cool Japanese design, applied to a (hopefully) larger space. And by "larger," I mean… well, we’ll get to that later on the space…
Honestly, I went in with zero expectations. My first thought was "Is this gonna be a glorified shoebox?" Then I saw the *riverside* part and thought "Oh god, please don't be mosquito-infested!"... more on that later, too.
Riverside? Sounds romantic! Is it, like, a babbling brook, or a… muddy ditch? Be honest. My allergies are already acting up just thinking about this.
Okay, "romantic" might be pushing it. Let's get real here. It's the Cisadane River, which isn't exactly the Seine. The view... it's a *view*, alright. Sometimes you get the sunset, which is genuinely pretty spectacular. Other times… well, let's just say the river's not exactly pristine. There *might* be some trash floating by. (I may or may not have seen a rogue flip-flop the other day. It was an adventure, honestly.)
And the mosquitoes? Oh, the mosquitoes. Bring the bug spray, friends. Bring the industrial-strength stuff. I'm talking DEET-level weaponry. My allergy-addled self was already battling them before I even *saw* the studio. I spent the first hour swatting. It’s part of the experience, I guess? Adds a certain… *Tangerang-ness* to the whole thing. Maybe they’re adding local flavor? (Kidding… mostly.)
The ad says "brand new studio." What's the square footage situation? Because "studio" can mean drastically different things to different people. Is it big enough to swing a cat? (Asking for a friend, mostly.)
Alright, cat-swinging enthusiasts, listen up. They don't advertise the exact square footage, smart move. It’s a studio, so don't expect a sprawling mansion. Let's just say it's… efficiently designed. It's not cramped, the layout is clever – think open plan with the bed lofted a bit, making more space. I found it actually pretty spacious, which was a pleasant surprise. I could probably swing a small, well-behaved kitten. A large, grumpy tomcat? Probably not. It's more about making the most of space using interior design.
I saw a lot of clever built-in storage and the design is simple but effective. It’s definitely a studio in the modern sense, which is perfectly functional, with the exception of an air conditioner that I struggled to turn off (see my previous life).
What's the vibe inside? Like, is it all shiny and new, or does it feel like someone just threw some IKEA furniture in and called it a day? (I need details, people!)
The vibe… ah, yes, the vibe. It's definitely *new*. As in, you can *smell* the newness. That fresh paint smell is a *thing*. And while there's definitely some IKEA influence (let's be real, who doesn't love a good BILLY bookcase?), it's not just a dumping ground. It feels *thoughtfully* designed. The furniture is modern, with that minimalist aesthetic. Think clean lines, neutral colors, and lots of natural light (when the sun isn't playing hide-and-seek behind the smog, of course!). They've actually put effort into making it feel… *stylish*. Which is a win.
I had this massive craving for sushi when I was first there, and it *almost* fit the vibe. The only thing that's missing is a little Japanese garden outside the window, but I'm guessing they'd get complaints about snakes.
Is there anything particularly quirky or annoying about the place? The stuff that doesn't quite make it into the glowing reviews? Spill the tea!
Okay, the *real* tea. Let's be honest, no place is perfect. Okay, my hot take? The *air conditioning* in my studio was a nightmare. I mean, it worked, it just *never* felt truly off. There's this constant, faint hum, like a tiny, persistent gremlin is trying to keep the room at 67 degrees. I'm a person who likes to be warm. And the fact that it still got cold was not a great experience in the end. I spent a good hour wrestling with the controls. Eventually, I just gave up and embraced the chill.
Other minor annoyances? The Wi-Fi wasn't super strong. And… okay, I'm just guessing here, you might hear your neighbors. Walls? More like semi-permeable sheets! But hey, it's a studio, city living, you learn to tune it out. The lack of soundproofing is a small inconvenience.
How's the location? Is it a complete nightmare getting there? What's nearby? Walking distance to anything interesting?
The location is... *Tangerang*. Let's be clear. It’s not exactly the epicenter of nightlife. But it's not in the middle of nowhere. Getting there requires navigating the usual Tangerang traffic – which can be a test of your patience, no joke. Be prepared to embrace the *macet*.
Okay, the good news: It’s close to (what I thought was) a pretty decent shopping mall and some restaurants. And Grab/Gojek can get you pretty much anywhere relatively easy, if you don't mind the traffic. Walking distance? Maybe to a small *warung* for some *nasi goreng*. But if you're expecting to stroll to a trendy cafe, you'll probably need a ride. I did find a great Bakso cart down the street, though, and that kind of makes up for everything. Also, the overall convenience of food delivery apps, is definitely a plus.
Given everything, would you recommend this place? Is it actually worth the price? Give me the hard truth!
Okay, the hard truth. It depends.
