Unbelievable Deals: RedDoorz Plus Danau Sunter Utara Jakarta!
Alright, buckle up buttercups! We're diving headfirst into the glorious, the occasionally-gritty, and the definitely-not-always-perfect world of Unbelievable Deals: RedDoorz Plus Danau Sunter Utara Jakarta! Prepare for a review that’s less cookie-cutter and more… well, me.
First Impressions & Accessibility: A Mixed Bag, Honestly.
Okay, so, the name? "Unbelievable Deals." Bold. I like it. Promises a lot. Let's see if it delivers. Finding the place wasn't too hard, even though Jakarta traffic is basically a competitive sport.
- Accessibility: This is where things get a little… wobbly. The listing mentions "Facilities for disabled guests," but the devil's in the details, right? I didn't personally need super-specific accessibility, but I did notice a few things. The elevator was a godsend, especially after lugging my suitcase (which, let's be real, is always heavier than I expect). However, I didn't see any ramps or super obvious wheelchair-friendly features in the public areas. So, buyer beware if you have specific needs. Double-check with the hotel directly.
- Getting Around: Car park is free, which is always a win. And they have a car park on-site. They even have a car power charging station. Fancy! They also offer airport transfer and taxi service. I'm a sucker for convenience.
Rooms: Pretty Standard, But with a Few Surprises!
My room? Okay, not a palace, but perfectly acceptable. Clean-ish. Let's be real, "clean" in Jakarta is a different beast than "clean" in, say, Switzerland. But hey, it was better than some places I've stayed, let's leave it at that.
- Available in All Rooms: Air conditioning? CHECK. That's a must in Jakarta. Free Wi-Fi? CHECK. (More on that later). Air conditioning in all rooms is essential.
- The Good Stuff: The bed was comfy enough. They had a desk, which was great for pretending to work (mostly I just binged Netflix). The blackout curtains were a lifesaver. Jakarta is bright! They also have a coffee/tea maker, which is essential to my morning.
- The Less-Good Stuff: The bathroom was… functional. The water pressure was a bit weak, but hey, I survived. I was also a little disappointed the window didn't open. I like fresh air, ya know?
- Amenities: They had a mini bar, which, honestly, I only glanced at. I'm more of a "grab a Bintang from the convenience store" kind of gal. They also provide complimentary tea, which is always a nice touch.
- Other Items: Extra long bed and safety/security feature.
Internet: The Wi-Fi Saga
Okay, so the listing promises "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" and "Internet access - wireless." And "Internet access – LAN." Sounds amazing, right? Well… it was a little spotty. Sometimes it was lightning-fast. Other times, it was like watching paint dry. This is my biggest gripe, to be honest. I desperately needed to upload some photos.
- Wi-Fi in Public Areas: The Wi-Fi in public areas was better, but still not perfect.
- Internet services: Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Dining: Food, Glorious Food! (Mostly)
Okay, the food situation? This is where things get interesting.
- Restaurants: They have restaurants! I am always up for a good feed.
- What I Ate: I did manage to snag the Asian cuisine in restaurant. I also went for the breakfast buffet. I am a sucker for a buffet. It was… alright. The eggs were a little sad, but the nasi goreng (fried rice) was actually pretty good. I definitely went back for seconds.
- Dining & Drinking and Snacking: They also have a pool bar, which is a nice touch.
- Alternative meal arrangement: Always a plus!
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Trying to De-Stress in Jakarta
Jakarta can be… intense. So, I was definitely looking for a way to unwind.
- The Spa: They have a spa! It’s a spa/sauna. I'm always a sucker for a spa.
- Fitness Center: They have a fitness center. I didn't go. Let's be honest, I was too busy eating nasi goreng.
- Pool: They have an outdoor swimming pool, which looked lovely. I mean, a pool with a view. I didn't take a dip, but it looked inviting.
Cleanliness and Safety: A Post-Pandemic Reality
This is super important, right? Especially these days.
- Hygiene Certification: Phew.
- Safety/security feature: Always a plus.
- The Measures: They had hand sanitizer everywhere. Staff were wearing masks, which made me feel a little more at ease.
- Room sanitization opt-out available: That's a nice touch.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
- Services and conveniences: They had a concierge, which was helpful.
- Dry cleaning and laundry service: I did not use this.
- Cash withdrawal, currency exchange, and a convenience store: All super handy.
- The Elevator: Elevator! See above.
- Daily housekeeping: My room was cleaned daily, which was great.
For the Kids:
- Family/child friendly: They appeared to be.
Overall Vibe: Worth It?
Look, for the price, Unbelievable Deals: RedDoorz Plus Danau Sunter Utara Jakarta! is a solid choice. It's not a luxury hotel, but it's clean enough, the staff are friendly, and the food is… well, edible. The Wi-Fi could be better, and the accessibility could be clearer, but overall, I had a decent stay.
My Honest, Unfiltered Recommendation:
If you're on a budget, need a place to crash in Jakarta, and aren't super high-maintenance, then yeah, go for it. Just manage your expectations, pack your own snacks, and pray for decent Wi-Fi.

Escape to Paradise: Mombasa's Waterlovers Beach Resort Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your cookie-cutter itinerary. This is my Jakarta adventure, and trust me, it's gonna be a ride. And yes, it starts at the humble (but hopefully clean) RedDoorz Plus @ Danau Sunter Utara. Wish me luck.
Day 1: Arrival, Chaos, and the Quest for Air Conditioning
- 14:00 - Arrival at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK): Landed! The air, thick and humid, hits me like a wall. My meticulously packed suitcase is already feeling the strain. First impression: Jakarta is alive. And by alive, I mean a symphony of honking, shouting, and the distinct aroma of… well, everything.
- 15:00 - The Taxi Tango: Pre-booked a Grab car (THANK GOD for technology). The driver, bless his heart, seemed to navigate by instinct and a healthy dose of faith. We somehow weave through the traffic, dodging scooters that appear out of nowhere. My internal monologue: "Hold on… hold on… okay, we’re alive! We're still alive!"
- 16:00 - RedDoorz Check-in: The Anticipation: Ah, RedDoorz. My budget-friendly haven. The lobby is… functional. The staff is friendly, though my Indonesian is nonexistent, and their English is, let's say, developing. I'm picturing a pristine room, ice-cold AC, and a blissful post-travel nap.
- 16:30 - The Room Reveal: Okay, so… the AC is not exactly arctic blast. More like a gentle breeze. The room is… adequate. Let's call it "lived-in." The bedspread has seen better days. But hey, it's clean-ish, and the Wi-Fi works! (Important for Instagram updates, duh.)
- 17:00 - The Sunter Lake Stroll (and the Mosquito Massacre): I decide to be adventurous and walk around the lake. Mistake. The heat is relentless, and the mosquitoes are ravenous! I'm swatting and slapping myself silly. I lasted about 10 minutes before retreating indoors, defeated.
- 18:00 - Dinner: Street Food Roulette: Time to embrace the local cuisine! I ventured out onto the street, eyes wide, stomach rumbling. I chose a small warung (food stall) and pointed at something that looked vaguely like chicken and rice. It was spicy, flavorful, and possibly the best thing I've ever tasted. My mouth is on fire, but I don't care!
- 19:00 - Back to Base Camp (and the Battle with the Blanket): Back in the room, exhausted but exhilarated. The AC is still not cooperating. Attempting to sleep under the thin blanket is an exercise in futility. It's either too hot or too cold! I'm tossing and turning, muttering to myself. This is definitely the "honeymoon phase" of solo travel.
- 21:00 - Final Thoughts: Jakarta, you're a wild beast. I'm already slightly overwhelmed, slightly in love, and desperately craving a cold shower. Good night, world. May my AC gods have mercy on my soul.
Day 2: Temples, Traffic, and a Culinary Crisis
- 08:00 - Wake Up (Sweaty and Slightly Regretful): Still not acclimatized to the heat. This is going to be a long day. Coffee and a desperate prayer for a more powerful AC.
- 09:00 - Exploring the Old City (Kota Tua): Grab car time again! The traffic is a beast, but the sights are worth it. Kota Tua (Old Town) is a chaotic mix of colonial architecture, bustling markets, and street performers. It's like stepping back in time, and then getting thrown into a crowded, noisy washing machine.
- 10:00 - The Fatahillah Square: Filled with historical buildings, street art, and a constant stream of people. I get my photo taken, by a very enthusiastic local, with the iconic Jakarta sign.
- 11:00 - The Jakarta History Museum: A fascinating look into the city's past, but the air conditioning inside is worse than my room.
- 12:00 - Lunch: Failed Food Adventure: Trying to find a specific restaurant, I get lost. I stumble into a small restaurant that looked promising. I order something I can't pronounce. It arrives looking like… well, I'm not quite sure. The taste? Let's just say it was an experience. A memorable experience. I'm starting to think I should stick to the street food.
- 13:00 - Traffic Hell: The journey back to the hotel… well, it's a saga. The traffic is truly legendary. I'm squeezed in a car with a bunch of other people, and the driver is honking the entire time. It's a symphony of horns, and I'm starting to get a headache.
- 15:00 - Naptime (and AC Dreams): I crawl back to my room, defeated and longing for sleep. The AC is still failing me. I attempt a nap, but it's a sweaty, restless affair.
- 17:00 - The Sunset (and the Search for Serenity): I attempt to find a peaceful moment. I venture onto the hotel's balcony, hoping for a moment of tranquility. Nope. The traffic noise, the distant calls to prayer, and the general hustle of the city.
- 18:00 - The Culinary Crisis Begins: I decide to try a different warung. I order what looked like noodles. I take a bite. Oh dear. The taste is… off. I politely eat a few more bites before I decide to quit.
- 19:00 - A Desperate Plea: I text a friend "HELP. I need food that won't try to kill me."
- 20:00 - The Return of the Street Food Savior: My friend suggests a place that serves safe street food. The meal? Delicious. My faith in Jakarta cuisine is restored.
Day 3: Shopping, Spa, and the Final Reckoning
- 09:00 - Shopping Frenzy: I head to a mall. The malls are huge, air-conditioned havens. I buy some souvenirs, but it feels a little… hollow.
- 11:00 - Spa Time: Finally! A massage! It's heavenly. I almost fall asleep. The masseuse works miracles on my aching muscles, and I leave feeling like a new person.
- 13:00 - Lunch (Safe and Sound): I find a cafe in the mall, and have a burger. Safe, predictable, and exactly what I needed.
- 14:00 - Farewell Feast: I decide to have a final meal at that street food stall. It's a bittersweet moment. I've had some amazing meals, some less-than-amazing meals, and a lot of adventures.
- 15:00 - Packing and Reflecting: Time to pack up. My suitcase is a mess, but my heart is full. I've seen a lot, learned a lot, and sweated a lot.
- 16:00 - Check Out: Check out is smooth. The staff is friendly.
- 17:00 - Departure: Goodbye, Jakarta! You're a whirlwind, a challenge, and a total blast. I'm exhausted, but I wouldn't trade this experience for anything.
- 18:00 - Final Thoughts: This trip was a mess. It was beautiful. It was imperfect. And it was, unequivocally, me. I'll be back, Jakarta. I'll be back.
Unbelievable Deals: RedDoorz Plus Danau Sunter Utara Jakarta - Let's Get Messy!
Okay, spill the tea! Is this "Unbelievable Deal" REALLY unbelievable? Like, did you find a unicorn in your room unbelievable?
Alright, alright, settle down, drama queens and kings! "Unbelievable" is a strong word, isn't it? Look, I'm no stranger to a bargain. I've clawed my way through online hotel listings like a rabid squirrel searching for the perfect acorn. And RedDoorz Plus Danau Sunter Utara Jakarta? Well... it wasn't a unicorn. Thank God. (Imagine the cleaning bill!)
It *was* a deal. A decent deal. Let's just say, my expectations were set somewhere between "luxury spa retreat" and "that sketchy hostel where I once saw a guy eating instant noodles directly from the pot." Luckily, it landed closer to the latter, but with a slightly nicer bed. More on that later...
The location! Is it actually near anything interesting, or are you stuck in a concrete jungle of despair?
Okay, so the "Danau Sunter Utara" part? That's the lake. And... yeah, it's *near* the lake. Like, you could *probably* throw a rock and hit it. (Don't. Littering is bad, kids.) The area itself... it's Jakarta. Which means it's a glorious, chaotic, honking symphony of humanity.
There are food stalls galore! (Score!) Seriously, you can eat your way through a whole afternoon just sampling the street food. Just... be prepared for the occasional rogue mosquito and the lingering scent of fried things. It's part of the charm! Okay, maybe not charm... but it's definitely *experience*.
There's also a mall nearby. That's a win. Air conditioning, folks! Precious, precious air conditioning.
Let's talk room. What was it *really* like? Be honest. I can handle the truth. (Probably.)
Alright, here it comes. The room… well, it was a room. You know, the kind with four walls, a bed, and a vaguely suspicious air freshener? (Seriously, what *was* that smell?)
The bed… it was… a bed. Not the cloud-like masterpiece of my dreams, but hey, it didn't collapse under my weight, which is a win in my book. Sheets were clean-ish. The bathroom? Functional. Let's leave it at that. The shower… well, let's just say the water pressure was a bit like a shy garden hose. But hey, it got the job done. Mostly.
Oh, and the TV? It worked! Thank goodness. Because sometimes, all you need is to zone out in front of some mindless Indonesian soap opera after a long day of battling the Jakarta traffic. (Which, by the way, is a whole other story of epic proportions.)
The Wi-Fi! Because we all know, if the Wi-Fi's down, the world ends. Did it work? Did you have to sacrifice a chicken to appease the internet gods?
The Wi-Fi... Ah, the Wi-Fi. Okay, deep breaths. It worked... sometimes. It was like a moody teenager. One minute it's all sunshine and rainbows, the next it's sulking in the corner, refusing to load a single picture.
I swear, I spent half my time refreshing pages and muttering under my breath. There were moments when I considered actually *talking* to the hotel staff about it, but then I remembered my limited Bahasa Indonesia and decided to just suffer in silence. Which, you know, is probably what they were hoping for anyway. But hey, it did eventually load. Eventually. Enough to check my emails and stalk my ex on social media. So, a win? I guess?
Breakfast! Was it the sad, continental breakfast of nightmares, or a hidden culinary gem?
Breakfast. Right. Okay. Here's the thing. I am a breakfast person. I *love* breakfast. I dream of fluffy pancakes and crispy bacon.
This breakfast… was not that.
It was included, though! Which is always a plus. Think… a buffet of lukewarm options. Rice, noodles, some questionable fruit, and toast that could probably double as a weapon. I think there might have been eggs. I'm not entirely sure. I made a tactical retreat to the nearest street food stall for a proper breakfast. And honestly? I don't regret a single bite.
The Staff! Were they friendly? Helpful? Or did they treat you like you were inconveniencing their very existence?
The staff were… fine. They were polite. They weren't actively trying to make my life miserable. Which, honestly, is a pretty good standard, right? Look, I've stayed in hotels where the staff seemed to actively *hate* tourists. These guys were… neutral. They answered my questions (even if I had to repeat them a few times), they pointed me in the right direction, and they didn't judge my questionable fashion choices. So, yeah, they were okay.
One time, though, a bellboy accidentally spilled coffee on my shirt. It was a tiny coffee stain, and he was mortified. I felt bad for him! I'm not a monster, and he apologized profusely and even offered to get it cleaned. (I declined. I was already running late.) It was a moment of pure, unadulterated awkwardness. But, hey, it happens.
Overall, would you recommend it? Be brutally honest!
Okay, the final verdict. Would I recommend RedDoorz Plus Danau Sunter Utara Jakarta? Honestly? If you're on a budget and you're not expecting a five-star experience, then yeah. Go for it.
It's a decent base of operations. It's clean enough. It's close to stuff. It's cheap. And sometimes, that's all you need.
But if you're looking for a luxurious getaway? Look elsewhere. This isn't the place for you. Unless, of course, you like adventure. And a little bit of chaos. And don't mind the occasional lukewarm breakfast. In that case, dive right in! Just… lower your expectations a *smidge*. You'll thank me later. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to find a better breakfast. And maybe some decent Wi-Fi. Wish me luck!
Anything else? Any hidden gems? Any regrets? Did you meet a ghost?
Hidden gems? Hmm... besides the street food? Not really. Regrets? Maybe not bringing more mosquito repellent. Jakarta is a mosquito buffet, let me tell you.
Did I meet a ghost? Thankfully, no. Although, I *did* hear some strange noises in the hallway one night. Probably just the plumbing, or maybe the Wi-Fi gods were angryHotel Finder Reviews
