Unbelievable Makassar Getaway: OYO 91375 Pondok Feby Review!
Unbelievable Makassar Getaway: OYO 91375 Pondok Feby Review!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! Because we're diving HEAD FIRST into the sometimes-charming, sometimes-questionable world of OYO 91375 Pondok Feby – Unbelievable Makassar Getaway! (and yes, that exclamation point is theirs, not mine…yet). Let's get this review real, shall we? Forget polished brochures – we're going for the gritty, the glorious, and the "did I just see…?"
Accessibility: The First Hurdle (and it's a doozy)
Alright, let's be honest, accessibility isn’t exactly Pondok Feby’s strong suit. "Facilities for Disabled Guests" is listed – a sliver of hope, maybe? – but it doesn't scream “accessible paradise.” I wouldn't bank on navigating this place in a wheelchair with ease. Elevators? Forget it. This isn't the place for those with mobility issues. My apologies, truly.
Cleanliness and Safety: Pray for the best…and carry your own wipes
Okay, this is where it gets…interesting. They claim to have "Anti-viral cleaning products," "Daily disinfection in common areas," and "Rooms sanitized between stays." Now, I didn’t personally witness CSI-level cleaning, but I certainly hoped it was happening. They also mention "Hand sanitizer" and "Staff trained in safety protocol"… which is good! However, the "Room sanitization opt-out available" kinda threw me. Like, why would you opt out? Still, with "CCTV in common areas" and "Security [24-hour]," it's a perceived level of safety. But seriously, pack your own sanitizing wipes. Just in case. My advice? Double wipe everything.
The Rooms: Your Mileage May Vary (Greatly)
Right, let's talk about the actual rooms. They list everything – and I mean everything – as being "Available in all rooms." The dream, right? Air conditioning, check. Alarm clock, check. Daily housekeeping, check. Free Wi-Fi, check (thank God, because I would've had a fit).
Now, some of the extras… well, "Bathrobes," "Slippers," and "Bathtubs" are listed. Don’t get your hopes too high. I’ve seen the pictures – you get what you pay for. But at least the "Air conditioning" worked. Crucially, that worked. And the "Free bottled water" was a lifesaver. Because let's face it, sometimes you just need a tiny bit of luxury, and the mini-fridge was a welcome surprise! But "extra long bed"? I’m a short person, and it felt like the bed swallowed me whole. Not complaining, mind you.
Internet and Tech: Pray for a signal!
"Internet access – LAN" (lol, who uses LAN anymore?), "Internet access – wireless," and "Free Wi-Fi" promise connectivity. "Wi-Fi for special events" - well, that probably requires you get yourself out of a room first! The reality? Hit or miss. The Wi-Fi worked… sometimes. Mostly you're relying on your own data. But hey, at least there was, allegedly, an available "Laptop workspace." If you could get a signal.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Food adventures (or food adventures)
Okay, the food. This is where it gets… adventurous. They list everything. "Breakfast [buffet]" and "Breakfast takeaway service", well, I saw a breakfast – think "Asian breakfast". It was… something. I saw the "Coffee/tea in restaurant," I saw a "Restaurant," but I wouldn't exactly call it a gourmet experience. There's a "Snack bar" listed too! Just don't expect Michelin stars. "Bottle of water" is a good bet however: it's on the house, and you’ll need it.
Things to Do and Ways to Relax: Relax? Maybe…
"Fitness center"? I didn't see it. "Massage," "Spa," "Sauna," and "Steamroom?" I'd put all of those in the 'unlikely' category. They list a "Pool with view" and a "Swimming pool [outdoor]," so maybe there's some opportunity for relaxation? I didn't find one. I mostly found myself trying to relax about not knowing the quality of the food, or the cleanliness of my room.
Services and Conveniences: The Bare Essentials (and then some…maybe)
"Daily housekeeping," "Laundry service," "Dry cleaning," "Concierge," "Cash withdrawal"… these are all listed. The "Concierge"? Possibly a friendly face at the front desk. "Cash withdrawal" – well, that depends on the state of the ATM. "Food delivery"? Yes, I saw a flyer! "Convenience store" (maybe in the form of a small kiosk). They have the essentials… and then some… but approach with a sense of humor and realistic expectations!
For the Kids: Family-Friendly? …Sort Of…
They list "Family/child friendly" and "Babysitting service". However this isn’t Disney. Think… simpler. Consider this a place to sleep, and a base for other activities.
Getting Around: Location, Location, Location… and Taxis
"Airport transfer" is a definite plus. Free "Car park [free of charge]" is also convenient. "Taxi service" is noted, which is probably your best bet for getting around. The hotel is in Makassar, that's about your primary consideration for the location.
The Verdict: Unbelievable… in a unique way
Look, OYO 91375 Pondok Feby isn't the Four Seasons. It’s not a luxury escape. But it is a place to crash, to explore Makassar, and to experience Indonesia on a budget. The "unbelievable" part might be the price, or the interesting mix of amenities, or the… let’s call it character.
It’s rough around the edges. It has its quirks. It might not be for everyone. But if you go in with low expectations, a sense of adventure, and a hefty dose of disinfectant wipes, you might just have a good time.
My Most Honest, Personal, and Unforgettable Experience:
The BEST part? The little lizard that stared at me from the corner of the ceiling, every single night. He was my constant companion. I named him Kevin. He’s probably still there. And honestly? Kevin made the whole experience. He was my little reminder to embrace the chaos and remember, it's unbelievable, not perfect. I spent far too much time staring at that lizard, because it told me more about the experience than any bullet point ever could.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because my Makassar adventure planning is about to get REALLY REAL. Forget those pristine, robot-generated itineraries. This is going to be a beautiful, chaotic, sweaty mess. This is MY Makassar trip, and it's gonna be a wild ride.
THE PLAN (aka, what I think I’m doing… probably):
Base Camp: OYO 91375 Pondok Feby Makassar
This is my "luxury" (read: budget) haven. Fingers crossed it has air conditioning that actually works and isn't just a glorified fan. Seriously, I’m melting just thinking about the Makassar heat.
Day 1: Arrival and Initial Bewilderment
- Morning: Arrive at Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport (UPG). Oh boy. Airport arrivals always stress me out. Finding a taxi, haggling (I’m TERRIBLE at it, I always overpay!), getting to the hotel. I'm already envisioning myself desperately waving down a becak, only to be whisked away in the wrong direction. I hope I have data on my phone.
- Afternoon: Check in to OYO 91375 (fingers still crossed for the AC!). Wander around the immediate area. Maybe grab some lunch. I'm picturing tiny warungs (local food stalls) with sizzling food and incomprehensible menus. This is my jam. I love being utterly lost in a new food experience, and hopefully, the "food poisoning" won't hit too hard. First round of sampling Coto Makassar maybe? Is it good? IS IT REALLY GOOD?! I am a sucker for a spicy dipping sauce.
- Evening: Okay, this is where things could get interesting. I'm thinking a sunset walk along Losari Beach. Romantic, right? Probably not. I'll probably trip over something, get sand in my shoes, and end up yelling at the waves because the sunset isn't as Instagrammable as I'd hoped. But I'll probably LOVE it anyway. Or maybe I'll just eat a grilled corn. Is that a thing? It should be a thing.
Day 2: Fortress Rotterdam & Street Food Frenzy
- Morning: Fortress Rotterdam. Apparently, it’s a cool Dutch colonial thing. I’ll try to embrace the history, but let’s be honest, I'll probably be more interested in the stray cats and the shade. Will there be stray cats? I hope there will be stray cats. Maybe some good photo ops.
- Afternoon: Street food. This is where things get serious. I’ve been researching food stalls like a crazy person. I want to try everything. Mie Titi, Sop Saudara, Konro Bakar…. My mouth is watering just typing these words. I'm fully embracing the potential for stomach discomfort. Worth it.
- Evening: I’m guessing I’ll be so stuffed from all the food that I'll collapse back at the hotel. But if I have any energy left, maybe a walk through the Pasar Sentral (Central Market). I adore random things and finding quirky souvenirs.
Day 3: Shopping, and More Food (Obvi):
- Morning: Shopping! I have no idea what I'm actually looking for, but I like a good hunt! Maybe some local crafts? Some Batik fabrics? All of it probably will get tossed in the closet when back home. But I'm excited about the hunt, nonetheless.
- Afternoon: More food. I'm making it sound like I will be doing some actual work, but that's not possible with this itinerary, right?
- Evening: Again the idea of checking an official place, but again there are many warungs to explore!
Day 4: "Off the Beaten Path" and a Moment of Existential Dread
- Morning: I'm trying to be adventurous, so I'm thinking of visiting a park or a local village. Will I know how to get there? Probably not. Will I get lost? Absolutely. Will I try to communicate with the locals using a bizarre combination of English, hand gestures, and broken Indonesian? Undoubtedly. Will it be a disaster? Possibly. Will it be hilarious? Almost certainly.
- Afternoon: This is where the existential dread kicks in. Sitting on a bench, staring at the world, and questioning all my life choices. Maybe realizing I have no idea what I'm doing. Maybe wondering if I should have actually planned this out a little better. Maybe eating more street food to console myself.
- Evening: One last Coto Makassar? Or maybe some fresh fruit? I am getting nostalgic just thinking about the trip.
Day 5: Departure (and the Post-Trip Blues)
- Morning: Wake up with a vague sense of exhaustion and a longing for air conditioning. Pack. Struggle to remember how to get to the airport. Say a sad goodbye to my budget hotel haven.
- Afternoon: Fly out of Makassar. Already missing the chaos, the smells, the food. The inevitable post-trip blues will hit me hard.
Random Thoughts & Imperfections:
- The Language Barrier: My Indonesian is non-existent. I know "terima kasih" (thank you) and "tolong" (please). That should cover it, right? I’m prepared for a lot of pointing, gesturing, and awkward silences.
- The Heat: Did I mention the heat? I'm going to be a sweaty, sunburnt mess.
- Mosquitoes: I'm already picturing the mosquito bites. I'll probably forget to pack enough repellent.
- The Food: I can't emphasize this enough: I'm going to eat EVERYTHING. And I'm probably going to gain five pounds. Worth it.
- The Unexpected: This is the most important part. The best travel moments are always the unplanned ones. The spontaneous adventures, the random conversations, the moments of complete and utter disorientation that somehow turn into the most cherished memories. I'm embracing the chaos, the mess, and the wonderfully imperfect experience that is travelling.
- The Fear: Let's be brutally honest. Part of me is terrified. This is a new place, a different culture, and I'm going to be completely out of my comfort zone. But that’s also why I'm doing it. To push myself, to experience something new, and to come back with stories (and probably some mosquito bites) that I can share.
This itinerary is more a suggestion than a plan. This is my Makassar, and knowing myself, it'll be an absolute adventure. I can't wait. Wish me luck (and send bug spray)!
