Bandung Bliss: Your Dream 2BR Braga City Walk Oasis Awaits! – A (Mostly) Honest Review
Okay, buckle up Buttercups, because I just got back from a stay at "Bandung Bliss: Your Dream 2BR Braga City Walk Oasis Awaits!" and let's just say… it was an experience. Forget the glossy brochure, I’m here to give you the real deal. (And hopefully, sneak a little SEO in there for the folks at Bandung Bliss – wink wink).
First Impressions & Accessibility – Not a Bad Start (But Could Be Better!)
Finding the place? Easy peasy. Braga City Walk is bang in the middle of everything, which is AMAZING. Public transport is readily available. Accessibility wise, Bandung Bliss gets a solid… B. The elevator access and facilities for disabled guests is a big plus. The lobby looked pretty accessible; the ramp was great, (I’m imagining, I didn't NEED it, but I was eyeballing it). I do wish everything was a little clearer on the website but I’m sure that's something they will fix.
Rooms & Creature Comforts – The Real Deal!
Alright, the main event. My 2BR suite. Boom! Bandung Bliss gets SERIOUS points for the rooms. Air conditioning? Check. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms?! Double check! (More on that later). The Internet access – wireless was fast and reliable, THANK GOD. I need my internet to get it's work done and be sure to include all the things that are important to you, but honestly, the room was great, I was tired and just wanted to chill with some Netflix.
The bathroom was sparkling, with that thing everyone loves to see - a separate shower/bathtub situation. The slippers and bathrobes were a nice touch, although I’m not gonna lie, I just wore them around the entire time. The blackout curtains were clutch for battling the harsh Bandung sun (and my late-night Netflix binges, shhh). Soundproof rooms? YES. I slept like a baby, and my partner (bless his heart) wasn't disturbed by my snoring for once. I’m not sure the extra-long bed was quite that long, but it was certainly spacious, I was perfectly happy .
And seriously, those little touches in life… Complimentary tea and free bottled water. That’s what makes a hotel feel like home.
Cleanliness and Safety – Doing it Right in These Crazy Times
Okay, this is where Bandung Bliss REALLY shines. I’m a germaphobe, and I'm not shy about it. So the fact that they're obsessed with cleanliness made my soul sing. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, – chef's kiss. Room sanitization opt-out available even gave me a laugh; they're really on the ball, and it's great news to have. They're serious about hygiene. Staff trained in safety protocol? Check. Hand sanitizer everywhere? Also check. I felt pretty safe knowing they were taking things seriously.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – A Mixed Bag, To Be Honest
Listen. I'm not a food critic, but I do love to eat. The Asian breakfast was… okay. I'd give it a 6/10. The Western breakfast, on the other hand, was a bit more up my alley. I went for the pancakes and a coffee, and they were surprisingly decent, but I expected more, the Breakfast [buffet] was an all around let down. They do offer breakfast in the room, by the way, which is a godsend if you're extra lazy like me.
The Poolside bar, seemed promising, but I never actually got around to trying it. I spent most of my time in my robe, as I said!
Things to Do, Ways to Relax – This is Where It Gets Interesting
Okay, the Swimming pool! It was picturesque, the Pool with view? Amazing. The Spa/sauna experience. I booked a massage, with high hopes of a Body scrub and Body wrap, but it felt… rushed.. It didn't quite hit the mark, and the whole thing felt a little clinical. I'd have loved a little more atmosphere – candles, aromatherapy, the works!
But! The Fitness center was surprisingly well-equipped, although I'm pretty sure I only used it to take one photo.
Services and Conveniences – The Little Things That Make a Difference
Okay, these are the details that can make or break your stay. Bandung Bliss has a lot of them. Cash withdrawal? Check. Concierge? Yep. Dry cleaning? Excellent. Daily housekeeping? Absolutely! The ladies who cleaned my room were friendly and efficient.
I didn’t use the Babysitting service, but it's good to know they offer it.
Getting Around – Easy Peasy
Car park [free of charge]? Yes! Airport transfer? Yes, and surprisingly affordable. Taxi service? Also available. Bandung is easy to get around and it's great to have options!
Internet – The Unreliable Hero
Okay, so I had to mention this again because in the details on the website it's all about, the Internet that, Internet there, Internet everywhere. All good but it's NOT as reliable as it could be which is a shame.
Overall Impression – Should You Book It?
Okay, the rambling is over. Here’s the deal. Bandung Bliss: Your Dream 2BR Braga City Walk Oasis Awaits! is a good hotel. It's not perfect, but really, what is? It gets a lot right: the location, the cleanliness, the rooms, and the overall feeling of safety and security. It has hiccups with the breakfast and the internet, but hey, nobody's perfect. If you’re looking for a comfortable, well-located hotel in Bandung that takes cleanliness seriously, and you don't mind potentially having to hotspot your phone from time to time, then absolutely, YES, you should book it.

Alright, buckle up buttercup, because this itinerary is about to get… well, me. We're talking Bandung, Indonesia, Comfort Living 2BR at Braga City Walk By Travelio - and it’s gonna be less “smooth sailing” and more “slightly seasick, but loving every minute of it.”
Subject: Bandung Breakdown: A Chaos-Fueled Adventure (Comfort Living Style)
Day 1: Arrival - Airing Those Travel Shoes (and Possibly Screaming Internally)
- Morning (and the Great Luggage Olympics): Landed in Bandung (finally!). The airport? Utter chaos. Finding the Grab driver felt like a mini-mission, dodging rogue luggage carts and the thousand-yard stares of jetlagged tourists. Managed to locate him after a frantic ten minutes or so. The car smell… it was… Bandung. It just smelled like Bandung.
- Afternoon (The Braga City Walk Revelation): Arrived at the Travelio apartment. "Comfort Living" they called it? Okay, okay, maybe a little cozy, slightly more spacious than I imagined. The view from the balcony overlooking Braga City Walk? Stunning. Okay, I'm hooked. Let the Bandung adventure begin! Quick unpacking, and then the scramble for food began. The internet wasn’t working and trying to remember my phone’s password was a struggle.
- Evening (Street Food Shenanigans - Episode 1): Braga City Walk itself! A feast for the eyes (and the stomach). The street food stalls… oh, the street food! I dove headfirst into everything. From the siomay (fish dumplings, yes!) to the batagor (fried tofu and fish, a must-try). Ended up ordering way too much and got a little lost when searching for a food stall. My stomach is already starting to feel adventurous, if you get my drift. And the people-watching? Gold. Saw a guy try to haggle for a plastic snake - gold. Came back to the apartment stuffed. Feeling a bit like I could use a shower, which I might take tomorrow, but not today.
Day 2: Coffee, Culture and The Great Cihampelas Walk Escape
- Morning (Coffee & the Art of Over-Ordering): Coffee. Need coffee. Found a cute little cafe nearby. Ordered a latte and… a whole pastry case. Look, I am on vacation. I deserve all of the pastries. The coffee shop was full of instagrammers, who looked cooler than I did. My latte was so-so, the pastry was great. Sat there and people-watched. The coffee’s doing it’s job.
- Afternoon (A Dive into Bandung's Cultural Heart - or Just More People Watching): Went to the Gedung Merdeka, the location of the historic Asian-African Conference. I tried to look all serious and cultured, taking notes, and then got distracted by a cat. A cat! I spent a good ten minutes befriending it, while probably scaring the guards. Wandered around the old city. More street art. More food. Went back to Braga City Walk and spent an hour on the balcony watching people walk around.
- Evening (Cihampelas Walk - The Denim Debacle): The legendary Cihampelas Walk. Famous for its clothes shops! I wanted a new pair of jeans really badly. I was told to embrace the “bargaining culture”. After an hour of haggling? I somehow ended up buying a terrible denim shirt for $2.00. It doesn't even fit. I swear, the salesperson had ninja skills. I also got a weird sense that the whole place was stairing at me. Ate some more street food. Got back to the apartment, feeling very successful and also humiliated.
Day 3: Tangkuban Perahu Volcano: So Much Smoke, So Little Sense
- Morning (The Volcano Quest): Okay, the volcano. Tangkuban Perahu. Heard great things! Rented a driver (bless him, he was probably thinking, “Oh, here we go, another one…"). The drive was beautiful, winding through lush green hills. The driver told me some local legends, which I completely forgot. Got to the volcano site. Packed my reusable water bottle.
- Afternoon (Almost Getting Smoked Out): Tangkuban Perahu itself… it's… smoky. Really smoky. Like, "standing in a campfire wearing questionable glasses" smoky. The sulfur smell… it’s intense. Took some pictures, coughed a lot, and then got swept away by the sheer, raw power of the place. It's stunning, for sure. Felt a bit queasy.
- Evening (Back to Braga & the Dessert Redemption): Back to Braga! Needed some comfort food. Found a little dessert place with amazing gelato. Gelato is always a good idea. I sat for what felt like hours, watching the world go by. I felt like I was actually taking in a little bit of the atmosphere! It was so soothing after being overwhelmed by the volcano. Got back to the apartment feeling happy.
Day 4: Goodbye, Braga! (With a Hint of Sadness and Possibly a Stomach Ache)
- Morning (Last Braga Stroll): One last walk through Braga City Walk. Said a proper goodbye to the street food stalls, bought some little trinkets. Stared at the balcony view one last time. Realized I hadn't been using the kitchen.
- Afternoon (Packing, Regret, and the Airport Shuffle): Packed (badly). Started feeling a strange pang of sadness that I was leaving. Then, a stomach rumble. Ah, the price you pay for street food adventures. The airport. The whole ordeal. But then, Bandung was there, smiling through the chaos. And so was I.
- Evening (Departure - and the Promise of Return): On the plane. Thinking of the street food, the views, the people, the chaos. I'm already planning my return.
Post Script:
This Comfort Living apartment? It was great. A safe haven amongst all the madness. Could have used more towels, but hey, that’s life. Bandung? It’s messy, it’s loud, it’s delicious, and it is absolutely, unequivocally, worth it. I'll back. And next time, I promise to learn just a little bit of Indonesian. Maybe. Probably not. But definitely bring more stomach medicine.
Almeera Malang: Your SPOT ON 91401 Shopping Paradise!
So, what *is* this whole situation about, anyway?
Ugh, alright, fine. This is meant to be a FAQ, or whatever. You know, Frequently Asked Questions, the stuff people *think* they need to know before they... I dunno, decide if they want to buy my hot take or roll their eyes. So basically, it's a list, or a collection of stuff... I guess you can call it the ultimate guide, or maybe only the second worst. Let's go with that. Second worst! Yeah, I'm going to over share. Probably too much. But hey, you asked. I am answering. I am.
What am I supposed to get out of all this... this *thing*?
Well, if you're looking for pure, unadulterated *usefulness*, you're probably in the wrong place. I'm pretty sure your average instruction manual is a whole lot more helpful. But, if you're like me, and you're just trying to navigate this whole "life" thing, and you're ok with a little bit of absurdity, a whole lot of honesty, and maybe, *maybe* some actual insights that make you feel like you're not alone in the world, then stick around. It's chaos. It's reality. It's a dumpster fire that's strangely comforting. You'll laugh, you might cry, you'll definitely wince. But hey, at least you'll feel something, right? Unlike that time I spent three hours staring at my taxes. Zero emotion. Pure, cold, bureaucratic dread.
Okay, Okay. But, what are you *really* about? Like, THE CORE THING?
That's the million-dollar question, isn't it? The Core Thing. Here goes... I'm about... hmm. Okay. I *thought* I knew, but now... *taps chin thoughtfully* It's about recognizing the mess. The beautiful, chaotic, glorious mess that is being human. It's about owning up to the times you screw up – and trust me, there are *plenty* of those. It's about learning to laugh at yourself, even when it hurts. And it's about realizing that nobody has it all figured out. Nobody. We're all just winging it, pretending we know what we're doing. And I'm just here to be the voice that whispers, "Yeah, me too."
Can you give me some examples?
Alrighty, alrighty. I did the whole "going vegan" thing. And. It was a DISASTER! Like, all the kale smoothies, the endless salad. I'm still not sure how people manage it. I got a little carried away with the whole thing, and I started to believe I was some kind of enlightenment guru. That lasted a whole week, before I ran into a burger (not literally) but let's just say, I went on a burger binge and cried a bit. And then I learned, you know, moderation... and I did some eating. It's a wild ride, folks.
What's the deal with the whole "messy" thing? Is it a gimmick?
Oh, the messiness. No, it's not a gimmick. It's how I naturally operate. I overthink, I ramble, I get distracted by shiny objects (and the squirrels in the park). I'm clumsy. I say the wrong thing at the wrong time. I have brilliant insights, and I promptly forget them five minutes later. Yes, it's a little chaotic. Yes, things aren't perfectly organized. I guess I could try to be more... well, *perfect*. But honestly? That feels exhausting. And fake. So, I figure, embrace the mess. It's real. It's human. And sometimes, buried in the chaos, you find the good stuff. Like a buried treasure of self-discovery... or maybe just a decent meme. Either way.
What if I disagree with you? What then?
Dude, *please* disagree with me! Seriously! I don't want to be surrounded by a chorus of "Yes, and...!" I'm probably wrong about a lot of things. I'm constantly learning and evolving (hopefully). Disagreement is healthy. It’s how we grow. So, fire away. Let me know. Have at it. Just maybe... be nice about it? I do have feelings, you know. Well, sometimes.
How old are you?
Old enough to have made a few mistakes. And, let me tell you, I have. But hey, it's all part of the experience, right? I'll say I'm in my thirties...ish. I think I'm in my thirties. Could be, definitely could be. I've lost track.
I have a life-altering question. Can you answer it?
Okay, maybe. It depends. Does it involve a deep philosophical quest about the meaning of life? I'll probably fake an answer. Does it involve what to eat for dinner? Well, I usually fail at that one, so I'll probably give you a terrible suggestion. But, I'll try my best. But seriously, don't expect miracles. I'm just some dude. Who's probably sitting in his pajamas right now.
Is this going to be a regular thing?
I *hope* so! I mean, I'm enjoying this so far. It's fun. And it's nice to get my thoughts out. But who knows, let's be honest? Maybe I'll get bored. Maybe I'll get distracted by a new shiny object. Maybe I'll just lie down and binge-watch something. But for now, yes. Let's just say... yes. We'll see. Don't get your hopes up too high.
What should I NOT expect from this?
