Bandung's Hidden Gem: Pasteur Apartment Blue Living Latice - You HAVE to See This!
Bandung's Blue Living Latice: More Than Just a Room, It's a Vibe (and Maybe a Little Messy)
Okay, so I finally made it to Bandung, that vibrant mountain city in Indonesia, and, you know, you have to experience the "Hidden Gem" everyone's whispering about: Pasteur Apartment Blue Living Latice. The name alone is a mouthful, and honestly, my first thought when I saw it was, "Is this a real place?" But trust me, it's real, it's alive, and it's got a whole lot going on. This isn't your sterile, predictable hotel review; this is raw, unfiltered experience. Let's get messy.
First Impressions (and a Slight Panic Attack):
Getting there was… well, Bandung traffic, right? But finally, I arrived, and the sheer scale of the place hit me. Big buildings, sprawling… it kinda swallowed me up for a second. I was a little overwhelmed. I'd heard about the "Blue Living" aspect, and, yeah, there's a LOT of blue. It's an aesthetic, let's put it that way.
Accessibility: So, What's the Deal?
- Accessibility: Okay, important stuff first. Pasteur Apartment Blue Living Latice does have elevator access, which is essential. They also mention facilities for disabled guests, which is a big plus. I didn't personally test everything for accessibility, so it’s best to contact them directly for specifics if you have any mobility needs.
Getting Settled In (and the Quest for Coffee!)
- Check-in/out [private]: Smooth. They had a contactless check-in/out option too, which is brilliant. Less face-to-face interaction is always welcomed!
- Reception/Concierge: The staff were friendly; they tried their best to accommodate my demands (aka finding me a decent coffee shop ASAP!).
The Room: My Little Blue Bubble (and the Wi-Fi Saga)
Okay, the room. "Blue Living" means blue. Walls, accents… you get the picture. But honestly, it was clean, and that’s half the battle.
- Available in all rooms: Air conditioning, a desk (essential for me, a "work from anywhere" type), hair dryer, in-room safe box – all the basics were there.
- Internet Access: Now, this is where things get… interesting. They promise Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! and Internet access – wireless! Which is great… when it works. Honestly, the Wi-Fi was a little patchy at times. But listen, who can blame the place, the internet is a battleground in all developing countries. Internet [LAN] might be a safer bet if you need a rock-solid connection for work. Plus, there's a laptop workspace, so you can pretend to be a digital nomad.
- Room Sanitization Opt-Out Available: Good to know, especially with ongoing health concerns.
- Rooms Cleanliness: The room was clean, and they definitely have a grip on hygiene certification, daily disinfection in common areas and rooms sanitized between stays.
The Food… Oh, the Food! (And My Carb-Loading Adventure)
- Restaurants: They've got several restaurants, and the Asian cuisine in restaurant looked promising.
- Breakfast [buffet]: Now let's talk about the food. I went for the breakfast [buffet]. It was a decent spread, your standard Asian breakfast and Western breakfast options. I'm a sucker for a buffet, so I loaded up on carbs.
- Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop: Thankfully, the coffee/tea in restaurant was up to snuff and the coffee shop was indeed, as I said, a place to rest.
- Breakfast takeaway service: If you're in a rush, they've got a breakfast takeaway service. Good idea, given the city's busyness.
- Room service: Room service [24-hour] is a lifesaver when you're exhausted from exploring and all you want is a burger at 2 AM.
Relaxation Station: Pool, Spa, and the Aftermath of a Massage
- Swimming pool: There's a swimming pool (and I'm pretty sure I saw another one with a view).
- Spa/sauna, Spa and Steamroom: They had a spa, offering body scrub, body wrap, and massage. Deciding I needed to chill the h-e-double hockey sticks out, I went for a masssage. The masseuse was amazing, and it was pure heaven. I emerged feeling like a wrung-out washcloth in the best way possible.
- Fitness Center: The Gym/fitness area looked decent, but honestly, after all the food, I just wanted to nap.
Things to Do: Beyond the Blue Walls
- Things to do: The hotel itself seems to know how to get to the city's attractions, and they even seemed to know audio-visual equipment for special events and indoor and outdoor venue for special events.
- Getting around: Airport transfer is a huge plus. And there's car park [free of charge], which is a significant perk in a city like Bandung.
Cleanliness and Safety: Keeping it Real
- Cleanliness and safety: I was impressed with their commitment to safety. They really do seem to have upped their game. First aid kit, CCTV in common areas and outside property, security [24-hour], fire extinguisher, smoke alarms – all the essentials are there.
- Anti-viral cleaning products: Even with COVID (still).
- Hand sanitizer: They made sure you were able to use it!
The Quirks (and Why You Should Still Book)
Okay, hear me out. There are a few things that could be slightly smoother. The Wi-Fi could be more reliable, and maybe the signage could be a little clearer. But honestly, that's part of its charm. This isn't a polished, cookie-cutter hotel. This is a place with personality, a place that feels like it's lived in.
The Honest Truth (and the Emotionally Charged Verdict)
Look, Pasteur Apartment Blue Living Latice isn't perfect. It's got some rough edges. But that's what makes it interesting. It's clean, the staff are friendly, the spa is worth the price of admission, and there’s a feeling of community - or, at least, people milling around.
Final Verdict: Book it. But manage your expectations. It’s a unique experience.

Unbelievable Yilan Getaway: tuwei192homestay Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's perfectly-formatted travel itinerary. This is the Bandung Breakdown - my messy, gloriously imperfect, and probably caffeinated journey from the Gateway Pasteur Apartment to… well, wherever my whims take me. Prepare for a ride.
The Bandung Breakdown: A Symphony of Sambal and Semi-Chaos
Pre-Departure (The Panic Precedes the Paradise)
Day -2 (or Whenever I Remembered To Pack): Okay, let's be honest. This "itinerary" was mostly conceived on the flight, fueled by lukewarm coffee and the existential dread of forgetting something vital. The packing? A masterpiece of procrastination. Somehow, I always underestimate how many batik shirts I need. And the shoes? A disaster. I’m pretty sure I packed three pairs of sandals, one of which is… a bit questionable. (More on that later. Trust me.).
Day -1 (The Pre-Trip Prep Mishap): The phone. OH, the phone! I was supposed to download Indonesian translation apps, book that Go-Jek for the airport, and confirm the train to Lembang. Instead, I spent two hours comparing the price of tempeh on different online markets. Priorities. And then, just before I could get those important tasks done, the phone got a mysterious bug. I finally fixed it at 1:30 AM before I should not forget the power bank!!
Day 1: Arrival & Apartment Antics
Morning (Jakarta Airport Arrival & Taxi Tango): Landed in Jakarta airport. I did a double take. It's humid and it's gigantic. Found a taxi. Negotiated the price (I hope). The drive to Bandung… well, let's just say traffic is a performance art form in Indonesia. My taxi driver was a total legend, though – weaving in and out of everything with the skill of a seasoned street performer. Spent the entire ride alternating between holding my breath and laughing hysterically. Also, my stomach. Because of a bit of traffic jam, I finally arrived at the apartment and I should check in. But…
Afternoon (Gateway Pasteur - The "Blue Living" Blues): Okay, the apartment! "Blue Living Latice?" Sounds fancy. It is nice, actually. Clean, modern, and… well, the "blue" part is definitely accurate – the place is awash in a soothing, almost melancholic hue of aqua. I wanted to be at the other apartment. It was a mix-up, and I was very, very tired. The balcony offers a decent view, and the pool looks inviting, though I'm not quite sure I've got the energy for a swim just yet. The internet, THANK GOD, works.
Evening (First Food Mishap & Finding Peace): Hunger called. Seriously, the hunger was primal. My initial plan? Gourmet Indonesian at a hipster cafe downtown. The reality? A warung (food stall) just outside the apartment complex. I inhaled a plate of Nasi Goreng with a side of, well, a lot of sambal. My mouth is still on fire. But the food was heavenly. Wandered back to the apartment, feeling slightly overwhelmed but oddly… comforted. The apartment’s air con blasting on a low setting.
Day 2: Lembang & Lost in the Language (and a little bit of the landscape)
- Morning (The Train to Lembang, The Search for Comfort): The original plan was to take the train. But I got lost (again). But I found a Go-Jek who had the motorcycle to my relief. The train was a little bit messy, but I made it. Finally, I'm on board. But the problem came, I didn't know how to order the food, until a kind woman came to help me and I'm grateful with that. I met with a group of local women and we talked about everything.
- Afternoon (Lembang Explorations & The Great Banana Leaf Adventure…): Beautiful! They have an amazing scenery! I tried Nasi Timbel and the experience was not even good enough. When the food arrived… I didn't know the dish was wrapped in banana leaves. I was so confused. I made a complete mess attempting to eat it. Pieces of rice adhering to everything. But I kept the leaf, because it became part of the memory.
- Evening (Back to Bandung, Sleep is Calling): Back at the apartment. Exhausted but happy. I bought some kue from the street vendor. I was in Bandung. I loved Bandung.
Day 3: Culinary Quest & Cultural Curiosities
- Morning (The Culinary Chase): I decided to go to Pasar Baru to learn and taste the delicious culinary. I had the most delicious food. I was happy and full.
- Afternoon (Museums & the Meaning of Batik): I was curious about Museum Sri Baduga and I went. The museum was nice, but the temperature was way too high and I started to question my sanity. Afterwards, I went to Saung Angklung Udjo. The performance was so much fun.
- Evening (The Nighttime Market & The Accidental Souvenir): Ate street food and I was very happy. I found a handmade bag I bought. When I woke up, I realize that the bag was not the bag I liked the most. I wanted to exchange but not. It was my favorite!
Day 4: The Great Escape & Last-Minute Ramblings
- Morning (Departing Bandung): Today is the day to bid farewell to the apartment. I packed my bags, leaving the apartment and the memories behind.
- Afternoon (The Airport Farewell): I was so full of memories.
Post-Trip Epilogue (The Aftermath)
- Day +Whatever: The Laundry and the Reflection The laundry bill will be epic, guaranteed. But more important I would be very happy to come back and take another trip.
This itinerary, as you can see, is less a rigid schedule and more a suggestion. I'll embrace the chaos, the delicious food, the questionable footwear, and the inevitable blunders with open arms. Because let's face it, the best travel stories are the ones that go gloriously, hilariously, and memorably wrong. Wish me luck! And maybe a travel-sized bottle of antacid.

Okay, okay, spill the tea! What *even is* the Blue Living Latice at Pasteur Apartment? Seriously, what's the hype?
So, it's just…blue? And geometric? Is that it? Don't tell me that's all there is?
Alright, gotcha. So, how do you *actually* experience it? Can you just waltz in? Are there tours? Am I going to get yelled at?
The important questions! Is it worth the trek? Does it live up to the hype? Be honest!
I, personally? I wouldn't go out of my way to *specifically* visit it again, unless I was already in the area. But I don't regret seeing it, even if my lasting impression is, "Man, that's a *lot* of blue."
Any pro-tips? Stuff you *really* wish you knew before you went?
Food, glorious food! Are there any good eats nearby? My stomach is already rumbling.
- Traditional food stall: Not far from the area you can easily pick up a meal like Nasi Timbel, the famous wrapped steamed rice from the area you can find at the roadside stalls.
- Cafe: This will be much easier to find, some of the popular cafes like Kopi Anjis or Armor Kopi often a go to spot.
