Luxury 1BR+Extra Room in Tangerang's Hottest Spot: Branz BSD City!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we’re diving headfirst into the glittering world of Branz BSD City's Luxury 1BR+Extra Room – a place so hyped, I almost expected paparazzi and velvet ropes. (Spoiler alert: no paparazzi, just really, really nice rooms and, thankfully, no velvet ropes I had to struggle with.) This isn't just a hotel review; it's a full-fledged, unfiltered, and probably slightly sleep-deprived account of my recent stay. Get ready for some real talk, because honestly? Trying to be objective is exhausting.
First, the Basics (because, you know, we gotta):
- Accessibility: Okay, right off the bat – YES! Wheelchair access is a big deal, and Branz BSD gets it right. Elevators are plentiful, the common areas are thoughtfully designed, and I saw ramps where they needed to be. Massive win. This is important, and it's a real dealbreaker for some, so BRAVO.
- Internet: This is 2024, people. WIFI IS LIFE. And Branz BSD City delivers. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Check. Strong connection. Check. They also have Internet [LAN] for us old-school nerds. Also, like it or not, it's there. Internet services are available, and Wi-Fi in public areas is seamless. Basically, you won't be going through withdrawals. Good.
The Room: My Luxurious Lair (and the minor quirks):
Let's talk about this "1BR+Extra Room." It's not just a room, it's a suite of awesome. I'm talking Air conditioning that actually works, Blackout curtains that make you want to sleep, and a Seating area perfect for collapsing after a long day of… well, whatever you do in Tangerang.
- The Bed: Oh. My. God. The Extra-long bed made me genuinely happy. I’m a fidgety sleeper, and this thing could accommodate my flailing limbs with room to spare. Pure, glorious sleep. This is the first thing I told my friend when I called her, "The bed… it's amazing!"
- The Bathroom: Separate shower/bathtub. Huge points. Bathrobes and slippers – welcome to luxury, my friend. Toiletries were actually decent quality. No scratchy towels! And, yes, there's a mirror that lets you confirm you do still look like a human after a plane ride. Which is important.
- The Little Things: Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Free bottled water – all the thoughtful touches that make a stay truly pleasant. They even had an Umbrella, which, considering the unpredictable Indonesian weather, is a lifesaver.
The Things to Do (and the Stuff That Made Me Giddy):
- The Pool with View: This is where it gets good. Forget the infinity pool cliches. This pool is perched high up, looking out over the city. I swear I saw a sunset that was so good I almost cried. Seriously, go for that view. Swimming pool [outdoor] – absolutely perfect for a leisurely afternoon.
- Fitness Center: I’m not a gym rat, but I peeked. Looked well-equipped. Gym/fitness: seems like a good option if you're into that whole "exercise" thing. I stayed in the pool and didn't feel the urge.
- Spa: This is where I really lost it. Spa/sauna – bliss. Massage – even more bliss. I had the Body scrub and the Body wrap, and I emerged a new woman (or, at least, a much less stressed one). Yes, it was that good. It was so relaxing, I actually forgot I was worried about leaving the house. It's expensive, but honestly, worth it for the pure, unadulterated pleasure. Afterwards, I went to the Sauna and Steamroom, and it was the perfect way to finish the day.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (Bring Your Appetite!):
- Restaurants: Okay, they had a few. A la carte in restaurant – always a good option. Breakfast [buffet] – always a must-do. The Asian breakfast was surprisingly good, and the Western breakfast had all the usual suspects. Coffee/tea in restaurant - so much better than trying to make it in the room.
- Poolside Bar: Poolside bar - Hello, afternoon cocktails! Happy hour specials. What's not to love?
- Room Service: Room service [24-hour]. Because sometimes you just need a burger in bed. I actually ordered the burger, and it was DELICIOUS. A perfect greasy, cheesy, late-night indulgence.
Cleanliness and Safety (Because, Let's Be Real):
- This is where Branz BSD City really shines, especially with the current climate. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer everywhere, and evidence of Professional-grade sanitizing services all around gave me a serious sense of comfort.
- Staff trained in safety protocol. They were clearly taking things seriously, and that made a huge difference.
- Sanitized kitchen and tableware items – important! It was great.
- Rooms sanitized between stays. They're really doing it the right way.
Services and Conveniences (The Perks That Make Life Easier):
- Concierge: Super helpful, especially when I had a minor taxi-related meltdown. They sorted it out in minutes. Thank you, whoever you are!
- Daily housekeeping: My room was spotless every time, and the staff were incredibly polite.
- Dry cleaning and Laundry service – essential for the traveler who likes to travel light (or someone who spills coffee on their shirt one morning, like I did).
- Cash withdrawal – essential!
For the Kids (And the Kid in All of Us):
- Family/child friendly: Yes, it is!
- Babysitting service is also available.
- Kids meal: Yes, it's there too.
Getting Around:
- Airport transfer: available
- Car park [free of charge] and Car park [on-site] – huge convenience.
- Taxi service – easy to get.
The Quirks (Because No Place is Perfect, And That's Okay):
- There was a slight hiccup with the room service the first night. A wrong order and some delay. The staff were truly apologetic – the speed and the sincerity was so good I didn't even mind.
- The lighting in the room was a teeeny bit dim in some areas. Okay, that's being picky.
The Verdict: Book It! (If You Can Afford It)
Look, Branz BSD City is a treat. It's luxurious, it's comfortable, it's well-located. It's also not budget-friendly. But if you’re looking for a splurge, a getaway, a place to unwind, or you just need to treat yourself (and you deserve it), then absolutely, book it! The attention to detail, the amenities, and the sheer comfort level make it worth the price tag.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into my slightly chaotic, utterly opinionated, and hopefully hilarious itinerary for a stay at the "Spacious 1BR+Extra Room Branz BSD City By Travelio" in Tangerang, Indonesia. Consider this less a perfectly polished travel guide and more a semi-coherent snapshot of my brain on vacation.
Day 1: Arrival, Apartment Astonishment, and Street Food Shenanigans
Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): The Great Airport Tango & Apartment Intrigue
- 8:00 AM: Okay, real talk. Flight delayed. Naturally. Because when haven't I started a trip with a logistical hiccup? Currently battling aggressive boredom in the Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta airport. The coffee here? Let's just say it's a very Indonesian take on the drink. Thinking of sending a strongly worded email… to the universe.
- 10:00 AM: Finally landed! Passport control was a breeze, thankfully. Now… the grab. Fingers crossed the driver doesn't try to sell me any questionable goods. Jakarta traffic, I've missed (said no one, ever).
- 11:30 AM: Arrived at the Branz BSD City. The building looks…impressive. Lobby is all glassy and modern. The check-in process, however, felt like a game of "Spot the Elevator" with a dash of "Decode the Indonesian Instructions".
- 12:00 PM: TADA! The apartment! Okay, "spacious" is an understatement. This place is HUGE. Like, "could-get-lost-in-here" huge. The "extra room"? My brain is already screaming… potential office, crafting area, maybe a secret lair? Decisions, decisions. Initial impression: excellent. The minimalist design is actually quite soothing. Now for the quest to find a decent coffee machine.
Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): The Food Hunt Begins & BSD Exploration
- 12:30 PM: First order of business: find food. MUST. EAT. (Hangry is a valid state of being.) Armed with Google Maps and a general sense of adventure, heading out to explore the surrounding area.
- 1:00 PM: BSD City is… a vibe. Lots of shiny malls, fancy restaurants, and well-manicured lawns. It's like a miniature, super-efficient city. Feel a slight twinge of "where are the real people," but then again, I'm sure they're off having a laugh at my expense somewhere.
- 2:00 PM: Street food discovery! Found a warung (small food stall) selling nasi goreng (fried rice) and a drink called "es teh manis" (sweet iced tea). The nasi goreng? Actually, it's AMAZING. Like, life-altering levels of deliciousness. The locals were super friendly, even though they looked slightly amused by my clumsy attempts to use chopsticks.
- 3:00 PM: Wandered around the area a bit more, tried to find the local "vibe," ended up getting distracted by the sheer volume of motorbikes. They're everywhere! And the horns! Oh, the horns… It's a symphony of automotive announcements.
- 4:00 PM: Need to stock up on essentials. Found a supermarket. This is where cultural observations go wild! The sheer variety of instant noodles available is a national treasure. Also, decided to buy a box of local snacks, because, well, TREAT.
Evening (5:00 PM - Till Midnight): Sunset Views, Apartment Decorating, and Meltdown over the Wifi
- 6:00 PM: I believe the apartment has a balcony. This is a must. Attempt to drink a beer and watch the sunset, but the clouds are doing all kinds of crazy things in the sky, and I feel like I'm supposed to understand what it all means.
- 7:00 PM: Decided to actually decorate the apartment. Found some cute little plants for my "office."
- 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM: Okay, this is where things get real. The wifi. It's… temperamental. "Intermittent" would be generous. Started with a slow simmer of annoyance, escalated to a full-blown, keyboard-pounding rant. "HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BLOG ABOUT THIS TRIP WITHOUT INTERNET?!" The universe, I'm sure, found this hilarious.
- 10:00 PM - Midnight: Finally, the internet decided to be my temporary friend. Blogged, updated the itinerary, and started the next day's plan. This is the life.
Day 2: Exploring Local Culture, the Mall Escape, and Nasi Goreng Redemption
Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): A Cultural Dip & a Lesson in Communication
- 9:00 AM: Up early-ish. Coffee situation improved, thanks to a supermarket trip yesterday. Time for some exploring. I am determined.
- 10:00 AM: Venture into the local market. A riot of smells, colors, and sounds. The vendors are incredibly friendly, even when they can't understand a word I say. Learning some basic Indonesian phrases through sheer trial and error.
- 11:00 AM: The communication barrier is real. Picture me, gesturing wildly, trying to buy some guava, failing miserably, and eventually resorting to pointing and nodding. I think I managed to get some guava. I will call it a success.
Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Mall Mayhem & Food Adventures.
- 12:30 PM: Back to the mall. It's HUGE. Like, "lost-for-hours" huge. Tried to find a specific shop I needed, got completely sidetracked by the air conditioning and the sheer variety of everything.
- 2:00 PM: Food court discovery! Indonesian food court experiences are a world unto themselves. It's an epic display of variety, prices, people, and activity. I'm getting a "Mie Ayam" and an Ice Avocado.
- 3:30 PM: Back at that warung for the nasi goreng. This time, I will become the Nasi Goreng master. I think he might have recognized me.
- 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Spent a little more time in the apartment. More planning, more relaxing.
Evening (5:00 PM - Midnight): Pool Day and a Night in the Extra Room
- 6:00 PM: Swimming! The pool at Building Branz is lovely. Clear water, and a quiet atmosphere.
- 7:00 PM: The sun has set, once again, with a new story to tell, and I'm back at the apartment.
- 8:00 PM: This is it. The extra room. I've moved some comfortable things in here. I will make the extra room my lair, in which I'll be the king.
- 10:00 PM - Midnight: Finishing up some final details. Checking my emails. Reading. Feeling good about the potential of things.
Day 3: Departure and the Aftermath.
Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Farewell Tangerang
- 8:00 AM: Sad to be leaving. I'd gotten used to the spacious apartment and the lovely pool.
- 9:00 AM: Check out was smooth, and then, I was on my way to the airport.
Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Back to the Real World.
- 12:00 PM: Back in Jakarta.
- 3:00 PM: On the flight, reflecting on everything, feeling very happy.
Post-Trip Thoughts (Because I'm a Rambler)
This trip wasn't perfect, but it was mine. It was messy, spontaneous, and full of moments that made me smile, roll my eyes, and sometimes, just sit in awe. BSD City and the Branz apartment? Highly recommended. Tangerang itself? Give it a chance. Find the nasi goreng and es teh manis, and you'll be alright. And to anyone reading this, remember this: travel isn't about perfection, it's about the story. Embrace the chaos, laugh at the mishaps, and enjoy the adventure. And for the love of all that is holy, pack a good charger for your devices. You'll need it!

Branz BSD City: 1BR+Extra Room FAQs - Because Let's Be Real, You're Curious! (My Messy Thoughts Included...)
So, what *exactly* is this "extra room" everyone's raving about in those Branz BSD City apartments? Is it a real room or just a glorified closet? (Because, honestly, I'm picturing a walk-in closet I can't even WALK into.)
Okay, okay, deep breaths. I get it. The whole "extra room" thing sounds a bit… optimistic, doesn't it? I went to see these places myself, and I'll be honest, the picture on the brochure made it look like a second master suite practically. The reality? It depends. Some of them are legit. Like, you could *probably* cram a single bed, a small desk, and maybe a miniature yoga studio in there. (Okay, maybe not the yoga studio). Others… yeah, it's more of a slightly-larger-than-average storage space. Think of it as a bonus space. Think of it with your expectations in check. My advice? Go see the actual unit *before* you sign anything. Ask to see *several* different layouts. Some are better than others. I saw one with windows, and... woah. I actually got excited. I started dreaming of a mini-office! Then, the rest were kinda sad. So, yeah, see it with your eyes – not the overly-enthusiastic agent’s… or the brochure’s…
Personal Anecdote: I once visited a place that advertised "extra room" and it was literally a shelf. I swear. I was so bummed. I walked in and just started *laughing*. The agent looked mortified. I'm still not sure if they were trying to pull a fast one or if that was someone's actual idea of a bonus room.
Alright, let's talk location. Branz BSD City...is that place crazy convenient, or are we talking about a soul-crushing commute with jam-packed public transport? (I'm a city girl at heart, and I need a good mix of chill and convenience.)
Okay, listen. BSD City... it *is* convenient, but you're not exactly stepping out into the neon-lit chaos of, say, Jakarta. It's a "city" in the sense of planned development, think more suburbs turned upscale. It's got shopping malls, restaurants, good schools, and all the things that mean you don’t have to leave too often. Public transport is… improving. The shuttle is supposed to be good (I haven't used it myself, I just hear the rumors). Driving… *sigh*. Traffic can be a beast. Especially at peak hours. Google Maps is your friend, but be prepared for delays. I once got stuck in BSD traffic for a solid hour. I ate an entire bag of chips to cope. It was glorious and terrible all at once. The food coma was real though. Overall, it's a trade-off. Convenience, but possibly less "city" vibes. Think about what your vibe is and how important convenience is to you.
What's the deal with the "luxury" aspect? Are we talking marble floors and a personal butler, or just a slightly upgraded version of the standard apartment? (Because if I'm paying extra, I want to feel extra.)
Okay, "luxury" in these places is…relative. It’s not a palace. It's also not a cramped shoe box. Expect decent finishes, maybe a view (if you're lucky), and amenities like a gym and a pool. Don't expect a butler (unless you hire one separately, which… hey, your money, your rules!). The developers are good at marketing, so the words "luxury" get tossed around liberally. I’d say it’s more "premium" than actual "luxury". But hey, the pool *did* look pretty nice. I’m a sucker for a good pool. Some places in BSD, especially around Branz, do have some nice touches, like maybe a sleek kitchen or a stylish bathroom. But don’t expect Versailles. Go see it yourself; see what works for your standards of luxury.
Quirky Observation: Saw a model unit that had an absurdly large chandelier. I'm pretty sure I could live in that thing. It felt…a lot. Like, the opposite of minimalism.
Let's talk about the price tag, shall we? Is Branz BSD City going to drain my bank account, or is it actually somewhat reasonable? (Because my budget is... a work in progress.)
Okay, the price… is going to depend on a million factors: size, view, floor, the phase of the moon… and the whims of the market. It's *not* cheap. These are luxury apartments in a prime area, so, expect to pay a premium compared to other options further out. But it's also probably not going to be as crazy expensive as something downtown Jakarta. It's all a trade-off. Do your research, compare prices across different units and different developers. I strongly recommend getting pre-approval for a mortgage if you're considering buying because... the market is moving fast, and you want to pounce WHEN you find something you like. Do you *have* the money? Maybe. Could you get the money? Maybe. Talk to agents, compare different phases of the Branz project, and brace yourself. It’s likely to be a significant financial investment. But, think of it this way: you get a place to live. Something to call your own. That’s worth a lot, I think.
Messy Structure Rambling: And also… consider all the other costs, like maintenance fees. Those can add up! And then there's the furniture… I'm already picturing myself broke but living in a beautiful, albeit slightly-too-small, apartment.
What kind of vibe are we talking about? Is it a young, hip crowd? Families with kids? Or a mix of everything? (I'm picturing myself surrounded by like-minded people. Or at least, people who don't blast music at 3 AM.)
The vibe… is definitely trying to be upscale. It’s a mix. You’ll likely find a blend of young professionals, families, and maybe some retirees. It's not an extreme party zone, more of a…chill, modern living zone. From what I could see, people seemed relatively polite and, well, not the type to be blasting music at 3 AM. Probably. I can't guarantee it. It’s not always what you expect. I once lived in a place that *sounded* quiet on paper, but the neighbor’s dog… oh man. The dog sang the blues all night. Just… non-stop. BSD is big enough to have varied sections, so explore different areas, different buildings. Ask the security guards! They know *everything*. Get a sense of things, and then trust your gut.
Stronger Emotional Reaction: Honestly, if you’re looking for a wild party scene, this ain’t it. But if you’re seeking something more relaxed and safe with a good mix of people, it could be perfect.
Okay, the facilities! Gym? Pool? Playgrounds? Are they decent, or just for show? (Because a sad, half-empty gym is a major dealbreaker!)
The facilities… they are actually one of the things that makes BrStay By City
