Bandung's Chicest 2BR Haven: Jarrdin Cihampelas Getaway!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the whirlwind that is the Bandung's Chicest 2BR Haven: Jarrdin Cihampelas Getaway!. Forget the polished travel blogs – this is raw. We're talking real opinions, real experiences, and the unfiltered truth about whether this place actually lives up to the hype. And trust me, the hype is real.
(SEO ALERT: Keywords are about to be dropped like it's hot: Bandung, Jarrdin Cihampelas, 2BR, hotel, Indonesia, accommodation, spa, pool, wifi, family-friendly, accessibility, restaurant, clean, safe, comfortable)
So, let's get down to it. First off, Accessibility – because, let's be honest, navigating a new city is hard enough without added mobility challenges. The website claims facilities for disabled guests. Now, I didn't personally test the waters, but I'm cautiously optimistic. Elevators are a good start, and the presence of Facilities for disabled guests on the list is a glimmer of hope. Further investigation needed, but for now, I'm giving a cautious yes.
Getting There, and Getting In (and Out):
- Accessibility: I really hope you can get around, as Bandung generally isn't the most accessible city.
- Airport Transfer: They offer it, which, after a long flight, is golden. No haggling with taxi drivers at 3 AM? Yes, please.
- Check-in/out [express / contactless]: This is brilliant. Especially these days, and with the crowds.
- Car Park [free of charge / on-site / Valet parking]: Bonus points for free parking. That's a rare gem in many cities. Valet parking is just a cherry on top.
- Taxi service: Never a bad thing!
The Inside Scoop: Rooms & Comfort (and the All-Important Wi-Fi!)
Okay, the Rooms are where it's at. The whole point, right? They claim to offer a chic 2BR haven, and from the pictures, it looks the part, The 2BR aspect is HUGE if you're traveling with family or friends (especially if those friends snore like a chainsaw).
- Wi-Fi [free] / Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!: Praise the Wi-Fi gods! This is a non-negotiable for me. Work, stream, whatever. Internet access – LAN is also listed, which is a plus, but the real magic is the freedom of free Wi-Fi. I think I would die without it.
- Air conditioning is a must in Bandung's climate, especially when you're melting from all that delicious street food. Speaking of, the Refrigerator and Coffee/tea maker are necessities for any hotel, right?
- Bedding: Extra long bed, blackout curtains, and linens are the trifecta of comfort. You want to pass out and pass out hard.
- Bathroom: Separate shower/bathtub, and that's the life. And if they have Bathrobes, Slippers, and Complimentary toiletries? Oooooh, baby. Game over.
Now, the Real Test: Cleanliness, Safety and the Pandemic Precautions
This bit's crucial in the post-COVID world. Let's see if Jarrdin Cihampelas is playing it safe.
- Cleanliness and safety: Top priority!
- Anti-viral cleaning products: GOOD
- Daily disinfection in common areas: Even BETTER
- Rooms sanitized between stays: Excellent.
- Staff trained in safety protocol: That's how it should be.
The list is fairly robust. Good news: Hygiene certification. They're also offering individually-wrapped food options.
Eats, Drinks, and Be Merry (Or, How to Fuel Your Bandung Adventure)
Alright, let's talk about the serious stuff: FOOD. I'm a foodie, and if a hotel can't deliver here, I'm out.
- Restaurants: Yep.
- Coffee shop: Hallelujah! Early morning coffee runs are my love language.
- Room service [24-hour]: Sold.
- Bar / Poolside bar: Again, great.
- Asian cuisine in restaurant: This is Bandung, you gotta have it.
- Western cuisine in restaurant: Nice.
- Breakfast and Asian/Western breakfast: Let's hope there is a good breakfast buffet.
Seriously though, the 24-hour room service could save you from a midnight snack attack, or that post-spa hunger. Or, you know, the morning-after-too-much-Bintang bloat.
Relaxation Station: Spa and Pool, Oh My!
This is where Jarrdin Cihampelas really gets my attention.
- Pool with view: SOLD. I'm picturing myself lounging poolside with a cocktail, gazing out at the Bandung skyline. Dreamy, right?
- Spa: YES.
- Spa/sauna: YES!
- Body scrub: YES, and more.
- Body wrap: YES, and even more.
- Massage: Oh, yes. They're really offering something for everyone, and, you know, it would be rude not to.
Okay, I need to be honest here. This whole spa thing, all the Sauna, Steamroom, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, and Fitness center… I love it. I'm already imagining myself melting away all my stress at their Spa, then plunging into the Swimming pool [outdoor] for a refresh. Honestly, if this place delivers on their spa game, they've already won.
And for the Littles (or the Big Kids at Heart!)
There's Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, and Kids meal. This is a huge plus for families.

Escape to Paradise: Your Dream Anthos Apartment in Crete Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's itinerary. We're talking about BANDUNG, Baby! And specifically, this Travelio pad in Cihampelas. Let's see if I can actually remember what I did, because honestly, after the first day, everything kind of blurred into a delightful, nasi goreng-fueled haze.
Bandung Bliss (or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Street Food)
Day 1: Arrival & Immediate Regret (But Good Regret!)
- 10:00 AM: Landed at Husein Sastranegara International Airport (BDJ). The flight…well, let’s just say the guy behind me snored so loudly I almost lost a filling. Anyway, Bandung! The air immediately smells of something delicious, and I'm already regretting not packing a bigger suitcase for all the food I'm about to consume.
- 11:00 AM: Grabbed a Bluebird taxi to the Simply Modern 2BR Jarrdin Cihampelas By Travelio. Finding the place was a slight adventure. The driver kept asking if I was sure this was the right address, but eventually, we arrived. First impressions? Clean, modern, and… surprisingly quiet. Which, after the flight, was a blessing. Unpacked in a frantic rush - always the same, I'm sure I'm forgetting something, like the charger for my toothbrush.
- 12:00 PM: Settled in, took a quick peek around the apartment. It's actually nicer than the pictures – always a win! The promised Wi-Fi better work, because I need to upload all the photos and brag to everyone. After a brief moment of existential dread (what if I'm allergic to something here?!), I decided to venture out for lunch.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch at a local warung near the apartment. Started with Batagor, the classic Bandung snack, with peanut sauce of course. Oh. My. God. I might have ordered a second serving. And then another. Okay, maybe three. This is going to be a problem.
- 2:30 PM: Wandered around Cihampelas Walk (Ciwalk). Okay, it's a mall. But a mall with amazing street food stalls. I need a strategy to not eat everything at once. Browsed a few shops – mostly just window shopping because, let's be honest, my credit card is already weeping.
- 4:00 PM: Tried to get my bearings. Bandung traffic is a beast. Seriously. Like, a fire-breathing, horn-honking, scooter-dodging beast. Google Maps became my new best friend.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner: Tried a Sate Maranggi, a barbecue type of satay. It didn't disappoint – juicy, flavorful, and a perfect counterpoint to the slightly sweet es teh manis (sweet iced tea). Seriously, I'm already obsessed with the es teh manis.
- 7:30 PM: Collapsed back on the couch at the apartment. Jet lag is kicking in big time. Watched some Indonesian TV – I understood about 5% of what was going on, but it was entertaining enough.
- 9:00 PM: Passed out. Like, lights out, snoring-contest-level out.
Day 2: Volcanoes, Tea Plantations, and (Potentially) Altitude Sickness
- 7:00 AM: Woke up feeling like a truck ran over me (thanks, jet lag!). Coffee is a must. Luckily, the apartment had a coffee maker. Score!
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast: instant noodles. I know, I know, not very authentic. But I was craving something familiar, and I was too lazy to go out.
- 9:00 AM: Organized a day trip to Kawah Putih (White Crater). Got a driver. The drive was long, winding, and almost made me a little sick. But the scenery was stunning, so it was worth it!
- 11:00 AM: Arrived at Kawah Putih. Breathtaking. Seriously, the photos don’t do it justice. That turquoise lake! It's like something from another planet. Took a million pictures. The air is thin, though. Starting to feel a little lightheaded. This altitude sickness thing is real.
- 12:30 PM: Decided to continue toward Tea Plantation, because it was a part of what I arranged. After a lot of wandering, finally managed to get to the tea plantation. A simple but enjoyable experience for my eyes.
- 2:00 PM: Lunch at the tea plantation cafe. The best tea I've ever tasted. I ordered another cup. and then a bag of tea to take home.
- 4:00 PM: Driving back to the apartment. Fell asleep for half of the drive. Woke up when the driver told me to stop eating all the snacks, as I was probably getting motion sickness.
- 6:00 PM: Back in the apartment. Exhausted. Definitely need to drink lots of water.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner: Found a local restaurant with Nasi Timbel. It's a wrapped-in-banana-leaves rice dish, with grilled chicken / fish, tofu, tempeh, and all sorts of delicious side dishes. Amazing.
- 8:30 PM: Stumbled upon a night market near the apartment. Ate more street food. I swear, I'm going to need new clothes when I get home.
- 10:00 PM: Passed out. Again. This jet lag is relentless.
Day 3: Shopping, Culture, and the Quest for the Perfect Souvenir
- 8:00 AM: Woke up feeling slightly less like a zombie. Fuelled myself with more coffee and a packet of instant oatmeal (I know, I'm a disgrace).
- 9:00 AM: Headed to Rumah Mode Factory Outlet. It’s a huge shopping complex, but seriously, be ready to battle for the best deals. Spent hours wandering around, getting lost, and trying to restrain myself. Successfully bought some clothes and a hand-woven scarf, but I still feel like I could have done better.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch: Food court at Rumah Mode. More street food. I'm officially addicted. My stomach is starting to protest, but I can't help it.
- 1:00 PM: visited some historical places like Gedung Sate. I felt like I should have gone for a more culturally-relevant activities.
- 3:00 PM: Dago street. This is where the "cool" people hang out, apparently. Found some interesting boutiques and a café with amazing coffee and pastries.
- 4:00 PM: Determined to find souvenirs. This is always the hardest part of traveling. I want something unique, something that says "Bandung," something that won't end up gathering dust in a cupboard.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner: Tried some street food. I can't remember what it was called, but it was spicy! And delicious.
- 7:00 PM: Back in the apartment, feeling overwhelmed by shopping and the city. I just want the world to be peaceful, in Bandung.
- 8:00 PM: Went for a massage. So good.
- 9:30 PM: Passed out. I think I might be sleep-eating.
Day 4: Departure & Sadness (and a LOT of Food)
- 8:00 AM: Woke up with a slightly heavy feeling. It's the departure day
- 9:00 AM: Last breakfast. Ordered some local Bandung food one last time.
- 11:00 AM: Check out of the apartment. The process was smooth. The Travelio staff was very helpful.
- 12:00 PM: Went to the airport.
- 1:00 PM: Flight.
- 1:20 PM: Sat in the airplane.
- 1:50 PM: Final time in the air.
- 2:00 PM: Flight departure.
Final Thoughts:
Bandung was amazing. The food was incredible (and slightly terrifying for my waistline). The people were friendly. The scenery was beautiful. And I'm already plotting my return. Just need to work on my Indonesian and figure out how to resist the siren call of the street food. Goodbye Bandung! And until next time…selamat tinggal!

Is Jarrdin Cihampelas really as "chic" as the ads say? Because, let's be honest, Bandung throws around "chic" like confetti...
Okay, deep breath. "Chic." It's subjective, isn’t it? I went in expecting… well, *Bandung chic*. Which sometimes means a slightly aging, wallpaper-peeling version of modern. Jarrdin? Surprisingly, YES. It actually *is* chic. The decor? Modern, clean lines, pops of color that don't assault your eyeballs. Seriously, I’d actually *live* there. The first thing I did? Instagram a picture of the living room. I mean, come ON. It was begging for it!
Now, don't get me wrong, perfection is a lie. The fridge made a weird gargling noise the first night (probably just homesick for Surabaya or something). And the Wi-Fi was a little… Bandungi at times – you know, works great until you desperately need it. But the overall vibe? Utterly, wonderfully chic. Especially after a cup of that *kopi susu* you can grab down the street. Pure bliss.
Two bedrooms - good for a family? Or more for, you know, a wild weekend with your friends? (Asking for… well, me.)
Alright, spilling the beans. Two bedrooms is *perfect* for both! I first thought, "Ooh, group trip escapade!" But then I pictured the whole family: one bedroom for the parents, the other for the kids, everyone happy and not climbing over each other. Actually, it could be a *godsend*. No sharing a tiny hotel room with your teenage offspring? Yes, please!
But let's be real. It's also screaming "girls' weekend," or "boys' trip to find the best *sate*" – which, by the way, is a worthy pursuit. The second bedroom also gives you a place to snore without getting death stares from your travel buddies. Bonus points: You can finally have a proper sleep-in while your friends are all out conquering the Cihampelas Walk. (More on that later…)
Cihampelas Walk -- is it a nightmare or a wonderland? Tell the truth!
OMG. Cihampelas Walk. Let's just say it’s an *experience*. It’s… loud. Crowded. Slightly chaotic. But also, kind of… awesome? Okay, okay, I'll admit it, I love chaos. It's like a giant, ridiculously-themed shopping mall with everything you ever wanted and things you *never* thought you'd need. The Batman store? Seriously, it's there. The giant plastic statues? Everywhere. The street food smells? Irresistible.
My first trip? Pure sensory overload. I lost all my friends within five minutes. (Don't judge, it was really, really crowded.) But then, I found this AMAZING *bakso* stand, and suddenly, everything was right in the world. The people-watching is top-notch, the shopping is… well, let’s just say I left with a few questionable purchases. Worth it? Absolutely. Just bring your patience, your sense of humor, and a strong desire for delicious food.
Parking is a nightmare, right? Because, Bandung.
Bandung and parking… a story as old as time. The good news? Jarrdin wasn't *terrible*. There's dedicated parking, which is a huge win. I went in expecting trench warfare parking, you know, the fight for a space kind. I was pleasantly surprised. Don't get me wrong, you're not going to pull in at 6 pm on a Saturday expecting a prime spot. But it's there. And for Bandung, that's practically a miracle. I felt like I'd won the lottery!
The bad news? Traffic in Bandung in general is. well...yeah. So, factor that in if you're driving. If you're smart? Grab a Grab or Gojek. Cheaper and way less stressful. I mean, I am NOT getting behind the wheel of a car in Bandung traffic again if I can help it. Nope. Never. Again.
What's the best thing about staying at Jarrdin, the ONE THING that made you go, "WOW, I’m so glad I booked this?"
Okay, this is my moment of truth. The BEST thing? (Drumroll, please...) The balcony! Hear me out. After a day battling the Cihampelas Walk (and emerging victorious, slightly traumatized, but victorious), that balcony was pure heaven. Picture it: You, a cup of the aforementioned delicious Bandung coffee, the cool mountain air, and a view! I swear, I felt like I could breathe again.
It's not just a balcony, it's an *experience*. The city sprawls below, the lights twinkle, you can almost hear the sounds of the city. I actually just sat there, staring, for like, an hour. Just, you know, reflecting. I realized I needed a vacation from my vacation. LOL! That balcony was my little escape. And honestly? That alone was worth the price of admission. It’s what made Jarrdin feel less like a place and more like a… well, a genuinely cool getaway. And the best place to recover and make the trip worth it.
Any downsides we should know about before booking? (Be brutally honest!)
Okay, let's be real for a second. It wasn't *perfect*. Nothing ever is! Here's the brutally honest truth: The noise from the street can be noticeable at times. Bandung isn't exactly known for its quiet nights. Bring earplugs! Or, better yet, embrace the city’s energy. Trust me, you'll get used to it.
And, okay, one last, tiny thing. The "fully equipped kitchen" was a little less "fully equipped" than I’d hoped. Think: basic necessities but not a culinary wonderland. But, hey, who wants to cook when you’re surrounded by delicious food everywhere? I didn't even *think* about turning on the stove! Besides, it forces you to eat out and explore. Which, let's be honest, is the point of going to Bandung, right? (Unless you really, really like cooking… in which case, pack your own spatula.)
Okay, so… would you stay there again?
Absolutely. One hundred percent. Next time? Maybe even bring the family! The balcony alone sold me. I'm already checking dates for my ‘return to Bandung’ trip. Actually, I might just book it right now. Don't judge. I'm already mentally planning my next Instagram post from that balcony, coffee in hand, basking in the glow of Bandung. Seriously, if you're looking for a chic, comfortable, and convenient base for exploring Bandung? Jarrdin Cihampelas? Do it. You won't regret it. Just… maybe bring those earplugsHotel Bliss Search
