Unbelievable Cirebon Luxury! RedDoorz Plus City Center Steal! - A Hot Mess Review (But in the Best Way Possible)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because I just survived… I mean, experienced the Unbelievable Cirebon Luxury! RedDoorz Plus City Center Steal! and I'm here to spill the tea. And by "tea," I mean the lukewarm, vaguely tea-adjacent beverage they served at breakfast. More on that later. First things first, let’s just get this out in the open: I'm not a robot. This isn't some sanitized, perfectly-structured review. This is real.

- Title: Unbelievable Cirebon Luxury! RedDoorz Plus City Center: The GOOD, the BAD, and the Lukewarm Tea!
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag (Like My Emotions)
Alright, let's be real. "Unbelievable Luxury" and Accessibility don’t always go hand-in-hand, right? The website claims to have Facilities for disabled guests, which is great (essential, even!), but frankly, I didn't spend the whole time running around with a wheelchair. I did, however, notice the presence of an Elevator, which is a huge win in any hotel, especially if it's got multiple floors like this one. But then there's the exterior. The Exterior corridor felt a little like navigating a maze at times (especially after a few happy hour cocktails!), so I'm not sure how that translates to wheelchair accessibility (I honestly didn't check, I suppose I should've…but I'm sure the reviews will point out a deficiency in it).
Internet Access & Wi-Fi: Blessed Relief (Mostly)
Listen, a good internet connection is crucial in this day and age, especially when you're desperately trying to upload your selfies to Instagram (because, you know, #travelgoals). Thankfully, they did not disappoint here. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! YES! And that, like the Internet access – wireless, was a lifesaver, allowing me to keep up with my work in the Laptop workspace provided and easily connect with friends and family. (Internet [LAN] was available, but who uses that anymore? Unless… you're a total weirdo) I also had Internet access – LAN. So, two thumbs up there! Though, sometimes it cut out when I was streaming my favourite show. I mean, it wouldn't be a true hotel experience without some minor technological hiccups, right?
Things To Do, Ways To Relax: From Bliss to…Meh
Okay, this is where things get interesting. The Spa/sauna? I was in. All the things! Body wrap, Foot bath, Massage… the works! I spent a glorious afternoon getting slathered in fragrant mud and feeling like I was reborn. Legitimately amazing.Pool with view -- Check!! The Sauna was also a solid experience. I sat in the sauna for a good 20 minutes, sweating out every last drop of airplane stress. However, the Gym/fitness was…well, it was there. Functional, let's put it that way. The equipment was a little tired, and I'm not sure the aircon was working. I did skip the Steamroom because, to be honest, I just felt like I'd had enough heat for one day. There's also the Swimming pool [outdoor], which was lovely and refreshing. The Poolside bar was a nice touch as well.
Cleanliness and Safety: Covid-Era Edition
They try. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Individually-wrapped food options, Rooms sanitized between stays. They did mention Breakfast service was on offer. Plus the Staff trained in safety protocol, Hand sanitizer, and Sanitized kitchen and tableware items. Now, whether it really lived up to those aspirations is another story. Let’s just say I'm fairly sure I saw a dust bunny the size of a small dog in the corner of my room. And don't get me started on the table-setting at breakfast… I had to wipe down my own cutlery. The Cashless payment service was a really big plus, though.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Culinary Adventure (In a Good Way and a Bad Way)
Okay, the food. This is where my emotions really went on a rollercoaster. The Restaurant itself was nice enough. The Buffet in restaurant was… well, it had its moments. The Western breakfast was decent: eggs, bacon, the usual suspects. The Asian breakfast wasn't bad either (I am particularly obsessed with Asian food). There was even Coffee/tea in restaurant. And this is where I take back what I said earlier… The Breakfast [buffet] was amazing, the staff at the coffee shop was great, and there were even desserts in restaurant that literally sent me to heaven. I was there early, when it was at its freshest, the food tasted amazing. I did get a little bit disappointed by the Happy hour deal. The drinks there were not my thing. I'd recommend you skip a bar altogether and find some local food. The other option that was available was the Room service [24-hour], which I appreciated on one of those nights when I couldn't be bothered to go out.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things Make a Difference, or Don’t
Okay, here’s where the hotel tries to flex its muscles. Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Daily housekeeping, laundry service… the usual suspects. Air conditioning in public area was great. Doorman. The Elevator really saved me at multiple points. The Gift/souvenir shop was a bit overpriced, but hey, they try. Safe deposit boxes, Luggage storage, and the Taxi service were all super convenient. And the Front desk [24-hour] was always there, ready with a smile (even if it felt a little forced sometimes).
For the Kids: I Didn’t Have Any But…
Family/child friendly, yes. Did I see any actual kids? Nope. But there's a Babysitting service available (if you trust strangers with your offspring), and some Kids facilities. Getting Around: Easy Peasy (Mostly)
Airport transfer? Check. Car park [free of charge]? Double check! Also there was a Car park [on-site]*, which also felt like a big win. Taxi service was readily available, which made trips into Cirebon a breeze. Available in All Rooms: The Good, the Bad, and the Questionable
Okay, let's delve into the room amenities. There were Air conditioning (a lifesaver!), a Desk, the Coffee/tea maker, a Refrigerator, and, praise be, a Free bottled water. I also had the Internet access – wireless and a Non-smoking room. The Bathtub: Separate shower/bathtub. The Hair dryer was a bit of a struggle, but it did the job. The Blackout curtains saved me from the brutal Cirebon sunshine. There was a Mirror, plenty of Towels, and a Toiletries selection that was… serviceable. The Wake-up service worked perfectly. There was also an Alarm clock and a Slippers. Oh, and a TV with Satellite/cable channels.
The Verdict: Is It a Steal? Maybe. Would I Return? Probably.
Look, the Unbelievable Cirebon Luxury! RedDoorz Plus City Center Steal! isn't perfect. It's got its quirks, its imperfections, and the occasional dust bunny. But it's a decent hotel. The location is prime, the spa is divine. If you’re on a budget and looking for a comfortable base in Cirebon, it’s definitely worth considering. Just be prepared for the occasional minor hiccup and maybe bring your own teabags.
Escape to Paradise: Unbelievable Villa Kasuari, Bali
Okay, buckle up buttercup, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously planned travel itinerary. This is… well, this is my potential Cirebon chaos, fueled by a desperate need for a break and the promise of some seriously good Indonesian food. And the RedDoorz Plus @ Cirebon City Center… well, that's the theoretical launchpad. Let's see if I survive this.
Cirebon: A Love (and Maybe Hate) Story (with a Hotel as a Supporting Character)
Day 1: Arrival, Anticipation, and the First Glimpse of "Authenticity" (aka Street Food Danger Zone)
- Morning (Or, More Like, "Whenever I Finally Drag Myself Out of Bed"): Plane lands. The air hits me like a humid wall. Immediately regretting not packing the deodorant I swore I packed. Taxi to RedDoorz. Praying it’s not a total dump. Honestly, reviews are… mixed. Crossing fingers for a comfortable bed, at least. The taxi driver, bless his heart, is playing dangdut loud and I already feel like I'm sweating out my entire life.
- Afternoon (Check-in & the Reconnaissance Mission): Check into RedDoorz. Praying the AC works. Praying even HARDER the bed isn't covered in questionable stains. Deep breath. Okay, room's… adequately clean. The view? Well, it's a brick wall. Okay, moving on. Time to explore! I’m starving. The mission: Find some authentic Indonesian food, preferably without contracting a rare tropical disease. My stomach's already doing a nervous dance. Hit the street markets… the smell of frying things is intense. SO MANY options. It's delicious, and I'm sweating from the inside while battling the thought, "Is that a fly landing in my Gado-Gado?" First impressions: Cirebon is MESSY but alive. And possibly trying to kill me with delicious, potentially contaminated, food.
- Evening (Food Coma & the Culture Clash): Ate way too much. Satay, Nasi Goreng, maybe some Bakso. Everything was ridiculously tasty. Feeling the bloat. Walked around the local markets. The sheer volume of people buzzing around is incredible. Everyone is smiling, chatting, and generally going about their lives with a casualness I can only dream of. Tried to haggle for a trinket, failed miserably, and then felt guilty for even trying. Back to RedDoorz. The AC is chugging along! Thank GOD.
Rambles and Reactions:
- The heat. OH. MY. GOD. I feel like I'm walking through a sauna. Seriously, I'm already considering booking a massage just to avoid the feeling of my shirt sticking to my back.
- The language barrier. I know like, three Indonesian words and one of them is "delicious." I’m improvising. Pointing. Miming. Smiling. So far, so good.
- The drivers. OMG. The motorcycle traffic is absolute chaos. It's magnificent, terrifying, and I fully expect to be run over at least twice before I leave.
Day 2: Palaces, Pilgrimages, and Potential Disasters (aka the Bathroom Incident)
- Morning (Royal Adventures & Water Woes): Breakfast at a local warung. Ate some absolutely amazing bubur ayam (chicken porridge). Decided to be adventurous and order something I couldn't identify. Tasted great but… who knows. Then, off to Kanoman Palace. Beautiful, historic, a real glimpse into Cirebon's past. Spent way too long admiring the intricate carvings and trying to imagine what life was like back then. And then… the bathroom incident. Let's just say the plumbing in a charming, ancient palace isn't exactly as modern as I'm used to. I may or may not have flooded a small portion of a historic site. Mortification level: 1000!
- Afternoon (Bat Cave & Sensory Overload): Decided to leave the palace to the palace and move on. Onto Sunyaragi Cave, an ancient artificial cave complex. Wow. Surreal. The silence was eerie after yesterday’s chaos. Contemplated life, the universe, and why I keep signing up for these "adventures." Then, back into the streets. Tried to find a specific coffee shop, got lost, and ended up in a bustling Chinese temple market instead. The smell of incense mixing with street food is intoxicating. My senses are on FULL ALERT. Someone, please get the smelling salts.
- Evening (Dinner Disaster & Melodramatic Musings): I attempted a fancy dinner. It ended in tears. Or more specifically, a spilled drink, clothing stains. and the realization that I simply have no idea how to handle the fancier side of life. Back to street food, where I belong. Back at the RedDoorz, attempting to wash out the disaster-related stain in the clogged bathroom sink. This is my life now. This is all there is. Did I mention, I am lonely?
Rambles and Reactions:
- The heat is winning. I’m now officially a puddle of a human.
- The food is STILL AMAZING. Seriously, I could eat this food every day. Except for that chicken, which I now suspect was responsible for a brief, but intense, bout of questionable stomach sensations.
- I miss air conditioning. And reliable plumbing. And not having to navigate traffic that seems designed to kill tourists.
Day 3: Goodbye, Cirebon? (And Maybe Goodbye, Sanity)
- Morning (Last Breakfast & Unresolved Conflicts): One last attempt at nasi uduk (coconut rice). Trying to savor it, because tomorrow I’m home. Maybe. The last chance to feel the city's buzz.
- Afternoon (Shopping and Regret): Shopping for souvenirs. The bargaining is a sport I'm demonstrably bad at. Overpaid for a batik shirt. The moment I agreed on the price I knew I screwed up. The batik shirt, but at least. I'm almost on my way home. I think.
- Evening (Departure & Reflection): Taxi back to the airport. Look back at Cirebon. The city is a beautiful mess, and I almost died several times. But… I've done it! I've survived! Would I come back? Absolutely. As soon as I recover from this trip.
Rambles and Reactions:
- RedDoorz? It was okay. Clean enough. Could be better. But it served its purpose: a place to sleep after a day of battling heat, traffic, ancient plumbing, and my own ineptitude.
- Cirebon? Unexpected, beautiful, chaotic, and utterly unforgettable. I'm exhausted, but I'm also strangely exhilarated.
- I'm going to sleep for a week. And then, maybe, just maybe, I'll start planning my next adventure. But probably not. Probably I'll just stay home and eat pizza.
So, there you have it. My messy, emotional, and probably slightly inaccurate account of surviving (and hopefully enjoying) Cirebon and the RedDoorz Plus. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Just pack extra deodorant, an iron stomach, and a healthy dose of "whatever happens, happens." And maybe a plumber. Just in case. Good luck!

Unbelievable Cirebon Luxury! RedDoorz Plus City Center Steal! (Or...Is It?) - FAQ, Messy Edition
Okay, so "Unbelievable Luxury"? Really? What's the catch with this RedDoorz?
Alright, alright, settle down. "Unbelievable" might be pushing it. Look, I saw the price, okay? Like, *cheap* cheap. And I was in Cirebon. Needed a place, fast. So yeah, the "luxury" part is... well, let's say it's a *relative* term. Think "clean-ish" and "air-con that mostly works" – which, honestly, in Cirebon heat, it's a win. The catch? Probably a few. Hidden fees? Questionable Wi-Fi? But for the price? I was willing to gamble. It’s like buying a lottery ticket – mostly hoping you won’t be terribly disappointed.
City Center "Steal"? How's the location *actually*? Is it right in the middle of everything?
Okay, location. Here's the thing: "City Center" can be a *bit* deceptive. It's not *literally* smack-dab next to the Kraton or something. It's more... close enough to *kinda* walk to things, but probably you’ll end up sweating buckets and wishing you’d grabbed a Gojek. I ended up mostly relying on that app – which, let's be honest, is a lifesaver in Cirebon. So, "steal" in the sense that you *can* access the main attractions without a huge taxi fare? Yeah, probably. "Right on top of the action?" Maybe not *quite*. I walked one day in the midday sun, and honestly, I thought I was going to melt. Lesson learned: Gojek is your friend.
The Rooms! Give me the unfiltered truth. What did they *actually* look like?
Right, the moment of truth. The room. Picture this: Clean-ish, as I said before. The sheets *mostly* looked clean. There was a TV, which I *think* had some channels, but honestly, after a day of Cirebon chaos, I just wanted to collapse. The bathroom? Functional. The shower... well, the water came out. Sometimes hot, sometimes lukewarm-ish. The paint was a little… faded. A slight tinge of that humid Cirebon mustiness, but manageable. Walls were… thin. I could definitely hear the couple next door… let's just leave it at that. The air conditioning was a gift from the gods, praise be. It saved me. Really. It's a trade-off, you know? You get what you pay for. And for the price? I wasn't expecting five-star opulence. I was expecting a place to crash without encountering roaches. And, praise be, it delivered.
What about the Wi-Fi? Because let's face it, we're all addicted.
Oh, the Wi-Fi. The bane of my existence. Look, it *was* there. Technically. It connected… sometimes. Other times it would stall, and I'd swear, it would test my patience more than negotiating in the Cirebon market. Uploading a single photo? Forget about it. Skyping? Dream on. I spent, like, a solid hour trying to download a map, and finally, just gave up and wandered around, getting completely lost (which, actually, turned out to be a good thing – I found the best nasi jamblang stall!). So, yeah, the Wi-Fi situation? Prepare for frustration. Bring a book. Or, better yet, embrace the digital detox! Which I didn't. I ended up tethering to my phone, which of course, cost me a fortune. Ugh.
Any hidden fees or extra charges to watch out for?
I think I was lucky, I did get asked. There wasn't anything that really stood out, and I did a lot of asking at the reception. Everything was right. They really got me there. Just make sure to read through all the fine print, and then check it again. If you do this, you should be fine. But I don’t like surprises, so I always look for hidden costs.
The Staff! How was the service? Friendly? Helpful? Or just… there?
The staff were… mostly there. I mean, no complaints, per se. They greeted me. They gave me a key. They didn't speak much English, and my Bahasa Indonesia is… well, let’s just say I survived. They were polite, seemed genuinely nice, and tried their best. They were helpful with the minimal things I asked for. Didn't go above and beyond, but that's okay. I always bring my own iron, so I don’t need ask. Honestly, for the price, I wasn't expecting a butler. A smile and a working air conditioner? I was happy.
Would you actually recommend this hotel to someone? Like, honestly?
Okay, the million-dollar question. Would *I* recommend it? Hmm... It depends. If you're on a super tight budget, and prioritize location and the *basics* (clean-ish, air-con... functional bathroom), then yeah, absolutely. It's a decent, cheap option. If you're a luxury snob who can't live without fluffy towels and a pillow menu? Absolutely not. Run. And if you’re planning on relying on internet? Prepare for a bit of pain. For me? I would. I enjoyed being in an authentic place, with no distractions. I would say the price is worth it. Just manage your expectations. Think of it as an adventure. And bring a portable charger. Trust me.
Okay, spill the tea! Any specific moments that *really* stuck with you, good or bad?
Alright, alright, deep breath. One thing I'll never forget: The *first* night. Checked in, exhausted. Flipped the TV on, wanted to unwind. And… nothing. No signal. Just static. Okay, fine, I thought, not the end of the world. Then the AC started making this… this godawful *rattling* noise. I swear, it sounded like a small, deranged animal trapped inside the wall. I was ready to lose it. I called reception (using the *mostly* working Wi-Fi, bless it) and,Huaian's Hidden Gem: Thank Inn Review (Hechang Rd, Jiangsu)!
