Tangerang's Chicest Escape: Modern Studio at Tree Park Cikokol!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the whirlwind that is Tangerang's Chicest Escape: Modern Studio at Tree Park Cikokol! This isn't your average hotel review – this is a deep dive, a confessional, a love letter (maybe) to a place I'm still trying to figure out. So, grab a coffee (or…a beverage of your choice, no judgment here), and let's get messy.
First Impressions & The Accessibility Gauntlet (or lack thereof)
Okay, let's be real. Getting to this place? That was an adventure. Tangerang isn't exactly known for its… easy-breezy accessibility. While the hotel itself boasts "Facilities for disabled guests," I'm not entirely sure how deep that goes. The website hints at elevators, which is a plus, but I’m picturing someone attempting a wheelchair ballet through the Cikokol traffic, and it’s… intense. So, assess your tolerance for a bit of a logistical puzzle, particularly if mobility issues are a concern. But once you're in? Well…
The Room: My Own Little Modern Fortress
The "Modern Studio" promised a sleek, minimalist aesthetic. And…delivered, mostly. Okay, okay, so it wasn't quite as Instagram-perfect clean as the pictures implied. There was a tiny smudge on the mirror that I swear I saw the cleaning staff miss (and yes, I know I'm being nitpicky, but it's a smudge!). But overall? The room was solid.
- The Good Stuff: That extra-long bed? Bless. Blackout curtains? My sanity savior. Free Wi-Fi? Crucial. The room itself? Spacious, airy. I loved the little touches – the complimentary tea, the bottled water (hydration is EVERYTHING). The in-room safe box felt a little superfluous, but hey, better safe than sorry, right? Also, hello air conditioning! A life-saver in Jakarta-adjacent temps. The small closet was a lifesaver for my stuff.
- The Not-So-Good Stuff: I really wanted to like the bathroom. Separate shower/bathtub? Luxury! BUT, the water pressure was… a polite trickle. And the toiletries? A little generic, perhaps. A truly great wash would have made the whole experience worthwhile.
Food, Glorious Food (and the Quest for a Decent Cup of Coffee)
Alright, let's talk food. Because let’s face it, hotel food can be a gamble.
Breakfast Bonanza: Breakfast was included, which is always a win. Let’s be honest, the buffet was a solid 7/10. Plenty of options: Asian breakfast, Western breakfast. The coffee? Okay, at best. Not the mind-blowing, "I'm going to write poetry about this" caliber. But there’s a Coffee shop (thank God!)
Dining & Drinking Adventures: I saw a few restaurants, a bar… but honestly, I didn't venture too far beyond the breakfast chaos. Maybe next time I'll be brave and try the International cuisine. I'm too shy to eat some food from the bar as well.
Wellness & Relaxation – The Spa Dream & the Gym… Sigh
This is where things got… interesting.
- The Spa Fantasy: The promise of a spa, a sauna, a pool with a view… Yes, please! My inner zen master was practically doing a sun salutation just thinking about it.
- The Gym… Reality Check: Let’s just say the fitness center was…compact. Equipment looked a little…well-worn. I'm not gonna lie, I skipped it altogether.
Cleanliness & Safety – The Sanitization Symphony (and a Few Questions)
Okay, COVID times – let’s talk safety. The hotel seems to be taking things seriously.
- The Good Stuff: They clearly put effort into the Anti-viral cleaning, and there were lots of hand sanitizing stations. Daily disinfection in common areas is a plus. Staff was trained in safety protocols.
- The Curious Stuff: While I saw plenty of hand sanitizer, and the "Rooms sanitized between stays" promise sounded great, I couldn’t quite shake the feeling of… unseen hygiene levels. Maybe I'm paranoid.
Services & Conveniences – The Concierge Conundrum
- The Good Stuff: 24-hour front desk! Luggage storage! And free car parking.
- The Not-So-Good Stuff: I found out about the parking after spending some money on the car. However, I am thankful for the free parking.
The "Things to Do" Dilemma
Okay, the hotel itself is a bit of an oasis from the chaos of Tangerang. BUT… get out of the hotel? I am not sure about it yet. I love the hotel, and I have not had a chance to see the outside world, so maybe next time.
Overall Vibe & The Emotional Rollercoaster: The Verdict

Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Hanting Premium Hotel Qingdao!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's itinerary. This is… my attempt at an itinerary, and it's probably going to go sideways faster than a greased pig at a county fair. We're talking a long weekend in Modern Studio at Tree Park Cikokol By Travelio Tangerang, Indonesia. Let's see if I can actually follow a plan. Heh. The odds are… slim.
Day 1: Arrival and the Existential Dread of a New Apartment
- 10:00 AM: Arrival at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK). Right, so the flight landed. Success! Now, the REAL challenge: navigating the airport. Last time, I ended up in the duty-free shop for an hour sniffing ridiculously expensive perfumes. Let's try and avoid that this time.
- 11:00 AM: Grab a Grab/Taxi to Modern Studio at Tree Park Cikokol. Okay, I think I loaded Grab on my phone. Pray for me. Traffic in Jakarta is legendary. I'm picturing a two-hour ordeal involving honking, existential dread, and the distinct smell of exhaust fumes. Fingers crossed I arrive with my sanity (and luggage) intact.
- 1:00 PM: Check-in at Modern Studio. Unpack. Panic? The pictures online looked SO nice. But will it actually feel nice? Will I discover a cockroach the size of my thumb? This is the moment where I assess the vibe. Is it clean? Smelly? Does the air conditioning work? These are the real questions. I have high expectations.
- 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM: Exploration Panic. Grocery shopping. Okay, the apartment is… acceptable. But now I need food. Grocery shopping in a foreign country… the ultimate test of my basic survival skills. Wish me luck. I'm picturing wandering aimlessly, completely baffled by the local produce, and accidentally buying something that tastes like… well, I don't even want to know.
- 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM: The Great Coffee Quest. Caffeine. I need it. Seriously. Now. Locate nearest coffee shop. Fail spectacularly. End up in a random warung (small, local eatery) drinking something suspiciously like tea. Regret my life choices.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner at a Local Restaurant. Okay, I’m trying to be ambitious. Maybe I’ll find some authentic Indonesian food. Maybe I'll order something I can actually pronounce. Maybe I won't accidentally set my mouth on fire with chili. The stakes are high.
- 7:00 PM: Contemplate the meaning of life while staring out the window of the apartment. Okay, yeah, I'm alone in a new city. This is the point where I start to feel properly homesick. Will I get used to this place? This place! This tiny box of temporary solitude. This is a very important time for me, I'll need to start writing and documenting things.
- 8:00 PM: Attempt to sleep. Fail. Scroll endlessly through social media. Oh, the familiar comfort of procrastination. Good night, world.
Day 2: Embracing the Chaos (or at least, trying to.)
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast, and the realization that I forgot to buy milk. Ugh. This is just the start. Today's going to be the real test.
- 10:00 AM: Explore! I'm going to try to do some exploring. I swear. Maybe I should pick a specific spot to go, or maybe I should just walk, just walk and see where it takes me. Maybe I'll stumble upon some hidden gem, some secret market. Or maybe I'll just get lost in the maze of streets and end up crying in a corner.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch somewhere that (hopefully) isn't McDonald's. I'm trying to be adventurous, but I'm also afraid of getting sick. So, a delicate balance is required. Should be great food.
- 1:00 PM: Back to the apartment. Okay, here we go. I should write and finish some work, so I could enjoy more of my free time.
- Afternoon: Shopping… I want to go shopping around Tangerang, there is lots of things to see!
- Evening: Street Food Adventure! I'm going to embrace the street food. I'm going to try all of the things. I'm going to worry about the consequences later. There, I just said it!
- Night: Prepare for a good night's sleep.
Day 3: The Day of the Unfinished… Everything.
- 9:00 AM: Wake up. Feel disappointed in my lack of productivity. I knew it. I should have been more ambitious!
- 10:00 AM: Last Day! Last day to do the fun things around, I'll be sure to check the things I wanted to before I leave.
- 12:00 PM: Get ready to checkout of the Hotel I'll get ready to enjoy my bus back home.
Day 4: The Homeward Bound (and the inevitable Post-Trip Blues)
- Departure. Bye Bye Indonesia, it was nice to see you.
Emotional Postscript: Okay, honestly? I'm already a little bit stressed. But also… EXCITED! This is going to be an adventure, even if it's a messy, imperfect, totally-out-of-control adventure. And who knows, maybe I'll actually like this place. Or find my inner adventurer. Or just come home with a funny story (and possibly a mild case of food poisoning). Either way, bring it on! This is ME! And you know what? I wouldn't trade that for anything.

Tangerang's Tree Park Cikokol: The Honest FAQs (Because Let's Be Real)
So, is this 'Modern Studio' actually...modern? Like, not Grandma's sewing room modern?
Okay, okay, let's be brutally honest: the term "modern" in real estate is like the word "organic" on a cereal box – it's used liberally. My first thought walking in was, "Okay, this isn't the Jetsons, THANK GOD." But yeah, it's pretty decent. Sleek-ish. Think Ikea-chic meets a touch of that generic "hotel room" vibe. The furniture isn't falling apart, the walls aren't lime green (thank heavens), and everything seems relatively new. But 'modern' from a design magazine? Probably not. Practical? Comfortable enough? Absolutely. I even managed to successfully boil water for instant noodles without triggering the fire alarm. Bonus points!
What's the deal with this "Tree Park" part? Are we talking literal trees, or just a fancy name?
Okay, the big question. The TREE PARK. Honestly? A mixed bag. There ARE trees. Actually, a fair few, nestled here and there, making the place feel… less sterile than some Tangerang high-rises. But let's not pretend it's the Amazon rainforest. And don't get any ideas about throwing a slackline up and chilling – it's more like a well-manicured courtyard. There were a few very enthusiastic (and LOUD) kids playing football one afternoon, which was... well, it was a sound. But the building itself has a nice view, especially at sunset. It’s enough to make you feel a little less trapped in the concrete jungle. So, trees? Check. Instant forest bathing experience? Nope.
How's the noise level? I'm a light sleeper, and let's just say I've had *experiences* with inconsiderate neighbours.
Oh, honey. The noise situation. Okay, so I'm a light sleeper too. I once woke up from a power nap because a butterfly gently flapped its way near my window, really. The noise? Well, I'd rate it as "variable." Early mornings bring the usual Indonesian symphony of motorbikes and the occasional rooster (seriously, where do they even FIND the roosters?!), but they aren't horrible as the place is kind of tucked away. Sometimes, you'll hear the elevator ping-ping, the distant sounds of children, that's typical of the neighborhood. But if you're the kind of person who needs complete silence, bring industrial-strength earplugs. Trust me, it's worth it.
Is it easy to get around? Tangerang traffic is… legendary.
Traffic. Ugh. The bane of Tangerang's existence. The studio's location is actually pretty good in terms of access. Grab or Gojek? Easy peasy. The main roads can get clogged, especially during rush hour, you may be stuck in traffic for an hour or so. But, the good part is walking around is easy as there are a lot of shop and restaurants. It's like, five minutes to the nearest Indomaret or Alfamart. You can easily avoid the worst of it, unlike some places where you feel utterly stranded. Seriously, being able to grab a midnight snack without a major expedition is a win in my book.
What about the Wi-Fi? Is it strong enough to, you know, actually WORK from?
The Wi-Fi. Ah, the crucial question for the modern nomad. Now, here’s where the fun begins. When I first arrived, the Wi-Fi was... temperamental. Like, one minute it was blazing fast, the next I was staring at the dreaded spinning wheel of death. Honestly, it was a rollercoaster of frustration. I had a Zoom call where I cut out about five times, where I had to give excuses. But then after a couple of days, it started behaving. Now? It's decent. Not lightning-fast, but good enough to stream (if you have patience) and get some work done. So, bring your own mobile data for back up, just in case the internet gods are feeling particularly fickle that day.
What kind of shops and restaurants are nearby? (Food is important!)
Okay, food. My main concern, always. You're in luck! There's a good mix. You got your usual chains (McDonald's, Starbucks, etc.) for when you're craving familiar comfort. But the real treasure is exploring the local options. Warungs galore! Affordable and delicious, just be sure to get the level of the spiciness right, and don't forget to try the street food. Seriously, it's a food adventure! And, as a bonus, there's a bakery nearby that makes the most amazing pandan cake. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Any downsides I should know about *before* I book? Spill the tea!
Alright, here's the juicy stuff. Okay, first off, the walls might not be soundproof. I caught snippets of someone's questionable karaoke choices one evening. It wasn't… pleasant. Secondly, parking might be a little tight, especially if you arrive at peak times. Then there's the occasional minor issue. The elevator once got stuck, but fortunately didn't last too long. So, consider it a minor adventure. Oh, and I should mention the lack of a proper kitchen. But it gives you an opportunity to venture out and experience local food. So, overall, not dealbreakers, but good to know before you get there.
Would you recommend this place? Be honest!
Okay, the big question. *Would* I recommend it? Honestly? Yes. With caveats. If you're looking for a sleek, perfect, noise-free oasis, maybe not. But if you want a clean, comfortable, conveniently located place to crash in Tangerang, with a decent view and access to good food, then it's definitely worth considering. The price is right, the location is convenient, and it's got a certain charm. Not perfect, but perfectly workable. And hey, if you're anything like me, you'll get more character and adventure in this than in a sterile, soulless five-star hotel.
What's the one thing you wish you'd known *before* you arrived? Spill!
Okay, if I could go back in time, I'd tell myself ONE thing: Pack a good pair of noise-canceling headphones. Seriously. You'll thank me later. Trust meSmart Traveller Inns
