Jakarta's Hottest 2BR Green Pramuka Gem: Unbelievable Views & Luxury! (My Honest, Slightly Chaotic Review)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups. This isn't your average, sterile hotel review. I'm about to spill the tea on this "Unbelievable Views & Luxury" 2BR haven in Green Pramuka, Jakarta, and let me tell you, it was an experience. Buckle up because I'm a little all over the place these days.

The Grand Entrance – And a Moment of Panic (Accessibility & Getting Around)
First off, finding the place was easy (Airport transfer was a breeze, actually). But let me tell you, my blood pressure spikes whenever I hear "luxury" and "accessibility" in the same sentence, especially in Jakarta. I have a friend who's been dealing with some mobility issues. The elevator situation was key. The review did a terrible job with this. There's an elevator, good, check. But the details? Like, it's actually wide and smooth? That's important info that was, sadly, missing. Car park was free, which is a win – always a win! There's also taxi service which is great. Valet parking is available, I hope this is accessible too.
My immediate reaction: relief, like, "Okay, they TRIED to think of things."
Rooms & That View! (Available in All Rooms, Things to do, Ways to relax, Cleanliness and safety, Room Decorations)
Alright, let's talk about the main event: the apartment itself. "Unbelievable Views" is not an exaggeration. Seriously, the wrap-around windows showcasing the Jakarta skyline were pure, unadulterated wow. I mean, Instagram-worthy to the extreme. I sat there for a solid hour, just… staring. (High floor; check!)
The 2BR setup was perfect for a family or a group of friends. The rooms themselves were spacious, and the beds? Like sleeping on clouds! (Extra long bed, yasss!) The blackout curtains? Bless them. (Blackout curtains, check!) You know, you want to sleep in and see what the city has to offer. I need that life.
In-room amenities were plentiful. You name it, they pretty much have. There's a coffee maker. There's a mini bar with nice water bottles. There are bathrobes. Honestly, more than I ever knew I would need, or use!
My immediate reaction: "Okay, they get us!"
Spa Day & Poolside Bliss (Spa, Swimming Pool, Things to do, Ways to Relax)
The pool! It was a stunner and huge. (Swimming pool [outdoor], check!) And the view from the pool…the same amazing view. I got my body scrub from the spa. I recommend it.
Now, the spa. The spa was, well, okay. I think they could have had more of a relaxation atmosphere. I love a good sauna (Sauna, check!), but the steam room? (Steamroom, check!) The steam room was… fine.
My immediate reaction: "Needs more candles, spa!"
Eating & Drinking (Dining, drinking, and snacking, Services and conveniences)
Okay, let's talk food. I'm a sucker for hotel breakfasts. (Breakfast [buffet], check!) This one was pretty epic. A great selection of Asian Breakfast and Western Breakfast options. The coffee shop was awesome. (Coffee shop, check!)
My immediate reaction: "Stuff my face time!"
Cleanliness and safety (Cleanliness and safety)
Cleanliness and safety are super important right now, and I was impressed. (Hygiene certification, check!) There was hand sanitizer everywhere, and the staff were clearly trained in safety protocol. (Staff trained in safety protocol, check!)
My immediate reaction: "Okay, I feel safe enough to relax."
Family-Friendly Factor (For the kids, Family/child friendly)
I didn't travel with children, but the facilities seemed very family-friendly. (Family/child friendly, check!)
My immediate reaction: "Good for kids, I guess!"
The Quirks & Imperfections (Services and conveniences)
It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows, of course. Where is it ever?
- The internet. It was decent. (Internet, check!) But I'd get a bit jumpy sometimes.
- The "business facilities" seemed a little cramped. (Business facilities, check!)
- There was a weird smell in the hallway on the first day. (This is what I'm saying about imperfection!)
My immediate reaction: "It's not perfect, but it's good enough."
The Verdict: Overall – I'd Definitely Go Back (My overall opinion!)
Honestly? I loved it. The views alone are worth the price of admission. The amenities are top-notch. There are definitely a few quirks, but hey, that's life, right?
My immediate reaction: "Yes, do it!"
Final, Rambling Thoughts:
This place is really worth it. It's a beautiful place.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars. (Minus half a star for the occasional internet struggles and the slightly lackluster spa vibe.)
Escape to Paradise: Sokcho's Blue Door Hostel Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's itinerary. This is MY chaotic, caffeine-fueled, slightly-too-excited-about-everything Jakarta adventure, centered around the Green Pramuka Apartment by Travelio. Let's see how this thing holds up, 'cause honestly? I'm not exactly known for my organizational skills.
The Jakarta Jamboree: A Week of Wonder (and Probably Woe)
Day 1: Arrival and Apartment Acceptance (or, Praying the Air Conditioner Works)
- Morning (or, What Passes for Morning After a Red-Eye): Landed in Jakarta. The humidity hit me like a warm, wet hug – which, to be fair, is kind of what I needed after that torture chamber of a flight. Grabbed a Grab (because, duh, Jakarta traffic). The driver attempted a conversation in… well, something. My Bahasa Indonesia is currently limited to "terima kasih" and the ability to order a coffee. Praying for Google Translate to save my bacon.
- Mid-day: The Green Pramuka Reveal. Found the apartment! Okay, Travelio, let's see what we're working with. The lobby was swankier than expected – always a good start. Finally made it up to my 2BR apartment. And… Yes! Air conditioner! Praise the gods! It's gorgeous, spacious, and honestly, feels like a fancy hideaway. I'm already mentally rearranging the furniture.
- Afternoon: Supermarket Siege and Snack Attack. Needed food. Desperately. Found a supermarket nearby. The sheer variety of instant noodles was overwhelming. I picked five different kinds, plus some… questionable-looking fruit. Fingers crossed for no tummy troubles. Back at the apartment, I devoured the snacks, collapsing onto the sofa. This is the life.
- Evening: Settling In and Stumbling Upon a Hidden Gem (Maybe). Decided to explore the immediate area. Wandered aimlessly, which, in my opinion, is the best way to explore. Found a little warung (small, local eatery) down the street. The food…was an explosion of flavor! Some kind of fried rice with chili paste. My mouth is still burning, but in the best way. Maybe I'll be back tomorrow.
Day 2: Culture Shock and Culinary Chaos (or, Why I Should Learn to Cook)
- Morning (or, The Great Balinese Coffee Experiment): Woke up early thanks to the jet lag. Started my day with a cup of Balinese coffee I bought. I swear, this is stronger than rocket fuel. I was so energised that I spend 2 hours on the balcony just watching the world go by. It was a perfect start to the day.
- Mid-day: The National Museum of Indonesia – "Jakarta's Jewel" Got to the National Museum, which was amazing. The exhibits were fascinating, the history was rich, and I learned so much. As I was walking I tripped and nearly fell on the ground. Turns out, I wasn't as graceful as I thought.
- Afternoon: The Taste of the Local Jakarta Food: I have tried and tasted Jakarta's culinary offering. The food was not something I am used to. I have tried their rice and noodles. But, I still missed my own food. I think I need to learn how to cook before I visit Jakarta again.
- Evening: My Own Personal Night Market! I wandered the street. The city never sleeps. I was amazed by the night markets. I found a cheap street food, and went back to my apartment. I just felt so tired, and it has been a long day.
Day 3: A Day Trip to Tanggerang
- Morning: Getting Ready for a Trip Got up and got ready for a trip to Tanggerang. The drive was long, and took me 2 hours to get there. I wish my Grab driver knew English so I can talk to her and ask her about her day.
- Mid-day: A Visit to a Local Restaurant I went and visited a local restaurant. I ordered a food that I have never heard of. The food was too spicy, but very delicious.
- Afternoon: Visiting a Local Museum Went to the Museum to learn more about Jakarta, history. I found out a lot. I was glad that I was able to get some knowledge.
- Evening: Back to the Apartment I was exhausted. I was so tired to do another thing. I decided to go back to my apartment.
Day 4: Shopping Spree and Street Art Shenanigans (aka, My Bank Account Weeps)
- Morning: Grand Indonesia Mall - the ultimate shopping experience. What a mall. The sheer size of it. The designer stores. It's everything my credit card has nightmares about. I window-shopped (mostly) and pretended I could afford a Birkin bag. Even just looking at the prices made me feel faint.
- Mid-day: Street Art Adventure in Kota Tua (Old Town). I had to see it. Found some incredible street art. Murals that tell stories, bursts of color – it was fantastic! I snapped photos like a madwoman, half-convinced I could capture the whole city in one memory card.
- Afternoon: Café Hopping and Coffee Coma. I swear, Jakarta has more cafes per capita than any other city on Earth. I decided to go to a cafe. The coffee was perfect. I spent hours there.
- Evening: Back to the apartment I was so tired and decided to go back home. This trip really takes a toll.
Day 5: The Pramuka Pool Party (and a Moment of Zen)
- Morning: Sleeping in! Bliss. That shopping spree really drained me. 😴
- Mid-day: Swimming! OMG. The pool at the apartment complex is amazing. I spent hours there. It was so relaxing and nice.
- Afternoon: Nap Time I think I will take a nap after swimming for a while. I will rest.
- Evening: Dinner at the Apartment Because cooking sounds like a terrifying idea after the last few days. Going UberEats and ordering everything.
Day 6: Farewell Feast and Last-Minute Souvenir Scramble
- Morning: Packing and Regretful Thoughts: Packing is always a struggle. Now I have to make choices! I don't know what to pack. Oh well.
- Afternoon: Souvenir Shopping and Snack Stash. Okay, gotta get those last-minute gifts. Went to a local market… It was a whirlwind of bargaining and frantic purchasing. Finally, some souvenirs. I bought some snacks from the local market.
- Evening: The Final Indonesian Meal. I visited a restaurant. I ordered my favorite Indonesian dish! The food was amazing.
- Night: Final Night at the Apartment I was sad. I had fun in Jakarta. What a trip!
Day 7: Departure (and the Post-Jakarta Blues)
- Morning (or, the Early Goodbye): Dragged myself out of bed. The air conditioner? It's still working. Miraculously. Checked out of the apartment.
- Mid-day: Landed in the airport. The flight was good.
- Afternoon: Back home!
- Evening: Missing Jakarta Back in home. Missing Jakarta. Time for the next trip!
So, there you have it. A trip to Jakarta, documented with all the glorious imperfections and chaotic energy of a real human being. Would I recommend this itinerary? Probably not. It's a mess. But it's my mess.

Green Pramuka Gem: You WANT the Truth? Ask Me Anything! (Seriously, I lived there...)
Okay, Okay, the Views... Are They REALLY THAT Good? They Keep Saying "Unbelievable!"
Unbelievable? Honey, let me tell you, the first time I saw them... I almost choked on my *kopi susu*. We're talking, HEART-STOPPING. I mean, okay, I'd just lugged my suitcase up – Jakarta heat, am I right? – and the sweat was beading. But then I opened the blinds... Bam! The whole freaking city unfolded. It's a legit "Whoa, I live HERE?" moment. Seriously, I've spent way too much time staring out that window. You see everything. The chaos of the traffic at rush hour, the glint of the sun off the skyscrapers, even (and this is a bit embarrassing to admit) the neighbor's laundry day. Yep, the views are that good. They ARE that good. They're… bordering on addictive. I actually started setting my alarm clock *earlier* just to watch the sunrise. Pathetic, I know. But pretty. So, so pretty.
2BR - Is It Actually Spacious Enough? I'm a Hoarder (Don't Judge!)
Alright, hoarder friend, I feel you. I have a closet dedicated solely to shoes. And another one for "potential" outfits. Look, it depends. For a Jakarta apartment, it's pretty decent. The living room is… workable. You won't be hosting a ballroom dance, let's be realistic. But you *could* probably fit a comfy sofa, a TV, and still have room to flail around dramatically while singing karaoke (a completely hypothetical situation, of course...). The bedrooms? One’s the master and is quite spacious. The second room is what it is. If you're sharing with someone, you'll need to be good friends. Or at least, tolerate each other's questionable taste in home décor. Honestly, it feels bigger than it looks in the photos. If you're seriously a pack rat, you'll have to get creative with storage solutions, maybe some of those under-bed things. I mean, I did. And I survived!
Luxury! What Does "Luxury" *Really* Mean in Jakarta? Is It Just Fancy Towels?
Okay, "luxury" in Jakarta… it's… a spectrum. Yes, the towels were decent. Not Ritz Carlton, but definitely plushy enough. But, *luxury* here means things like a pretty decent pool (though, expect a bit of chlorine smell, it's Jakarta, darling!), a gym (that gets busy AF during peak hours, so plan accordingly), and a bit more security than your average *kosan*. The lobby is all marble and polished chrome, which is nice until you’re late for work, and the elevator is slow. Like, *painfully* slow. So, not a five-star resort, but it’s a step up from, you know, having to dodge motorbikes on your way to the lift. It's all "luxury-ish." Does that make sense? Yeah, its more about the convenience, the feeling of security (a HUGE bonus!), and maybe, just maybe, the ability to impress your friends. *cough* Also, the air conditioning... it works. And that, during Jakarta's humid season, is a luxury in itself. Seriously.
Tell Me About the Location! Transportation? Food? Is It a Nightmare?
Look, Jakarta is always a bit of a nightmare in terms of traffic. Let’s be real. Green Pramuka is… *relatively* well-located. The busway is within walking distance, which is a godsend, I swear. Grabbing a Grab or Gojek? Super easy. The traffic is still the traffic, and it'll test the limits of your sanity on a daily basis. But it’s not *in* the absolute worst of the chaos. Food? Oh, the food! Street food galore! You can get *nasi goreng* on every corner (and you should!), and there's a shopping mall downstairs with all the usual chains plus some local food court gems. My personal favorite? This little *warung* across the street that makes the most incredible *sate ayam*. Seriously, I'd walk through fire for that sate. So, yeah. Food is definitely a win. A major win.
What are the Downsides? What's the REAL tea? spill!
Okay, alright, let's get real. The downsides. The *downsides*. First off, the elevators. They can be frustratingly slow. Be prepared to wait. A Lot. And, sometimes, they break. Which, you know, isn't ideal when you live on the 25th floor... The walls aren’t soundproof. You WILL hear your neighbors. And they'll probably hear you. So, keep the karaoke to a minimum, yeah? And the pool… it's lovely, but the water quality isn't always perfect. And there are often way too many people trying to swim. And the biggest downside? The rent. It's not cheap. Jakarta rent, in general, is not for the faint of heart. You’re paying for the convenience, the views, and the, you know, "luxury." But seriously, be prepared to shell out some serious rupiah.
Okay, So Would You Recommend It? Be Honest!
Would I recommend it? Honestly? Yeah, I would. Even with the slow elevators and the sometimes suspect pool water. The views, the security, the food… it all adds up to a pretty good quality of life, *especially* compared to some other places I've lived in Jakarta. It's not perfect. Nothing is. But for a relatively comfortable, safe, and convenient place to live in the city, Green Pramuka is a solid choice. And that sunrise… it’s worth the rent alone. Okay, maybe not *alone*, but it’s close.
Is there a place to do laundry readily?
Well, yes, there is. Some units will have a washing machine; some won't. If they don't, there's a laundry service right there in the building. They’ll do it for you, wash, dry, fold… all that magic. It’s not the cheapest, but it’s convenient. And let's be honest, after a long day in Jakarta, having someone else do your laundry is a godsend. Just, you know, double-check your pockets before you send your clothes in. Learned that the hard way (RIP, my favorite Budi Karya t-shirt... I miss you...).
