Unbelievable Bandung Getaway: Poetra Properti Home Stay Awaits!
Unbelievable Bandung Getaway: Poetra Properti Home Stay Awaits! - A Review That's Actually Honest (and Probably Rants a Bit)
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the swirling, sometimes confusing, but hopefully ultimately glorious world of Poetra Properti Home Stay in Bandung. Forget your glossy travel brochures; this is the real deal. I'm here to tell you what's what, the good, the bad, and the "wait, is that a thing?"
First off, let's be clear: Bandung. Is. Awesome. Seriously. The air is crisp (usually), the food is spicy, and the people are unbelievably friendly. And Poetra Properti? Well, it's there. Here's the messy, real-talk breakdown:
The Basics (The Stuff You Need To Know):
Accessibility: Okay, so I didn't personally need a wheelchair, but the elevator was there, and the staff seemed genuinely helpful. That's a solid win. No, wait! The lack of a ramp near the entrance doesn't give the best impression.
Internet: "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" YES! And, for the most part, it worked. You know, except that one time when I was trying to upload a picture of my epic nasi goreng and it just… didn't. Minor setback, but hey, we're all human, right? There's also Internet [LAN] which I didn't touch, but it's there for the people who know what they're doing. Internet services are available, too, so probably just ask and they will arrange for you.
Cleanliness and Safety: Listen, cleanliness is huge right now. And Poetra Properti gets that. They've got the whole "Anti-viral cleaning products," "Daily disinfection in common areas," and "Rooms sanitized between stays" thing down pat. Phew! Makes you feel a little less like you're walking into a petri dish, which, let's be honest, is a good thing. "Hand sanitizer" EVERYWHERE. Which, again, is a win.
Food, Glorious Food (and Drinks!): Okay, this is where things get interesting. They have a lot. "A la carte in restaurant", "Asian breakfast", "Buffet in restaurant", "Coffee/tea in restaurant", "Happy hour"… the list goes ON. I'm a sucker for a good buffet, and while it wasn't the most extravagant, it was certainly filling. The coffee? Alright, maybe a little weak for my taste. You won't go hungry, that's for sure.
Services and Conveniences: They've got all the usual suspects: "Cash withdrawal," "Concierge," "Dry cleaning," "Laundry service," "Luggage storage." Basically, they've got your back. The "Convenience store" was a lifesaver for those late-night snack attacks (because, let's be real, who doesn't get the munchies?). The "Elevator" is awesome.
For the Kids: "Family/child friendly," "Babysitting service," and "Kids meal." Alright, parents, you're covered!
Getting Around: "Airport transfer" is a huge plus, especially after a long flight. "Car park [free of charge]" – score! They even have "Taxi service" and "Valet parking" because they're fancy.
Available in All Rooms: "Air conditioning," "Coffee/tea maker" (essential!), "Daily "housekeeping," "Free bottled water," "In-room safe box," and "Wi-Fi [free]." All the essentials. The rooms are comfortable enough.
The "Things To Do" Part (Where It Got a Little Weird… in a Good Way):
- Ways to Relax (and the "Spa/Sauna" Section): Now, this is where it gets interesting. They have a "Fitness center," and "Massage," "Pool with view", "Sauna," "Spa". They have almost everything for relaxing! But here's the thing, I got so caught up in the Pool with view that I forgot the spa. I'm regretting it now, not sure it's worth it.
My Deep Dive Into the Pool: A Moment of Zen (and a Near-Pants-On-Head Incident):
Okay, I have to dedicate a moment to the Pool with view. Seriously, it's amazing. The water was refreshingly cool, the sun was beating down, and for a solid hour, I achieved peak relaxation. I'm not sure if this is the best pool, and I'm not usually a "pool person," but the view of the city from the pool was something else. I could have stayed there all day. It was just… perfect. (Until I almost tripped over a rogue towel and nearly face-planted into the water. Thankfully, I caught myself. Close call.)
The Imperfections (Because Let's Be Real):
Okay, no place is perfect. I had a few tiny gripes.
- The Soundproofing: I'm a light sleeper. And sometimes, the sound from the hallways and other rooms was just… there. Especially at night. Sigh.
- The Coffee: I already mentioned this, but it bears repeating. The coffee could be better. Okay, it needed to be better.
- The Signage: A little more signage for the hotel areas would be appreciated.
The Verdict & The (Ridiculously Awesome) Offer:
Look, Poetra Properti isn't a five-star, everything-is-perfect palace. But it's a solid, comfortable, and well-located home base for exploring the wonders of Bandung. It's got the essentials, the amenities, and a pool view that'll make you forget your troubles. And, most importantly, it's got heart.

Bandung Breakdown: A Messy, Magnificent Itinerary
(Side note: This is all in my head, loosely penciled on a napkin. It's more a vibe than a rigid schedule. Don't judge.)
Day 1: Arrival, Bandung Bliss (And Mild Panic)
Morning (ish): Land at Husein Sastranegara International Airport. Smothered in that glorious Bandung humidity… like a warm, sticky hug. Okay, maybe not glorious at 7am. Uber is a lifesaver here, seriously. Negotiating a taxi after a red-eye? No thanks.
- Quirky Observation: The airport smells suspiciously of fried food. A good omen? Let's hope so.
Late Morning: Arrive at Poetra Properti. Oh. My. God. The pictures DO NOT do it justice. It's this charming little oasis, all bamboo and bright colors. Immediately feel a surge of… relief? I booked this months ago. Glad it's real. I'm a sucker for aesthetic.
- Emotional Reaction: Breathe. Just… breathe. I'm actually on vacation. This is happening. (Secretly, I'm also simultaneously convinced something will go wrong. Like, the roof will collapse.)
Afternoon: The actual settling in process. Check in, drop bags (mostly) unpack, and then the internal debate begins. Nap? Explore? Food immediately? Food first.
- Imperfection: Forgot to bring the adapter for my phone. Facepalm. Looks like I'll be tethered to my power bank for the next few days.
Late Afternoon: The street food hunt begins. Stumbled upon a warung (small local eatery) nearby. Mie Kocok Mang Dadeng is legendary. The broth… Oh. My. God. Deep, savory, a little spicy… I'm moaning audibly. The noodles have the perfect spring. I inhaled the entire portion. I’m currently regretting nothing.
- Opinionated Language: This is, hands down, the best noodle soup I've ever had. Period. End of discussion.
Evening: Wandering, maybe get a massage. I hope I can communicate my pain points (shoulders and lower back) with the masseuse.
Night: Back at Poetra Properti. I'm actually starting to relax. Reading in the little garden area. The air is alive with night sounds. Frogs, cicadas… everything is singing.
Day 2: Volcanoes, Views, and My Very Questionable Physical Fitness
- Morning: Early rise (well, earlier than I usually do, at least). Mount Tangkuban Perahu. The pictures look amazing. This might be a mistake.
- Mid-Morning: Drive to the volcano. The landscape… stunning. Lush green hills, mist clinging to the peaks. The air smells of… sulfur.
- Rambles: Okay, so I'm wearing the wrong shoes. Again! Why didn't I pack my hiking boots?! This seems steep… like, very steep. I'm already regretting the noodles from yesterday.
- Late Morning: The crater rim. The view… breathtaking, despite the sulfur! Active volcano. Steam rising. It's… intimidating. Truly in awe of the landscape.
- Stronger Emotional Reaction: Holy mother of… I did not expect this! The scale of it is just… wow. I feel tiny. And slightly terrified.
- Afternoon: Lunch at a local restaurant near the volcano. We’re talking simple, tasty mountain fare. More nasi goreng. More deliciousness.
- Late Afternoon: Relax back at the home stay. The place is so charming and I’m obsessed with the little garden area. Sipping teh tarik, feeling the exhaustion from all that volcanicking.
- Evening: More street food. Maybe a performance of Angklung.
Day 3: Shopping, Spices, And a Possible Culinary Disaster
- Morning: Early trip to the shopping district. Pasar Baru Trade Centre. I’m not a big shopper. I'm dreading the bartering experience.
- Mid-Morning: The shopping. Oh boy. So. Many. Textiles. So many people. And the bargaining, it is real. I'm wearing myself out.
- Quirky Observation: People are everywhere. I think I’m going to get stuck in a swarm of people. I hope I don’t suffocate.
- Afternoon: Cooking class! This is the moment of truth. I've always wanted to learn how to make authentic Indonesian food. We’re talking about real Indonesian food. Spices, chilies… I'm already sweating.
- Stream-of-consciousness: Okay, the chef is super-friendly… but his knife skills are terrifying. I think I’m adding too much chili… or maybe not enough? The smells! The colors! I hope I don't poison everyone. Or myself.
- Late Afternoon: Eating the food I made. It kind of tastes like… something. Okay, maybe it’s really good? Definitely better than I expected.
- Messier Structure: My stomach is doing a happy dance. It seems I didn't completely ruin dinner. Winner.
- Evening: Reflecting on how tired I’ve gotten. Staring at my phone again. It’s almost dead. I need a real charger.
Day 4: Farewell, Bandung! (And a New Appreciation for Adapters)
- Morning: Last leisurely breakfast. Savoring the coffee and the quiet. One last wander through the garden. Saying goodbye to this place.
- Emotional Reaction: I don't want to go! This place is so simple and sweet, I like that people aren’t rushing around. I'm starting to appreciate the small moments.
- Mid-Morning: Final errands. Souvenir shopping, probably another last-minute craving for street food.
- Lunch: One last meal. This time, I'm aiming for something I haven't tried yet.
- Afternoon: Travel back to airport. Pray I make it through, and that my plane isn't delayed.
- Evening: Departure. Bandung, you were a messy, beautiful, delicious experience.
And that's that! Remember, this is just a framework. Life (and travel) is messy. Embrace the chaos!

Unbelievable Bandung Getaway: Poetra Properti Home Stay - You HAVE To Hear This... Seriously.
Okay, spill. Is this Poetra Properti place REALLY as good as the pictures? Because let's be honest, Instagram lies.
Alright, alright, alright. *leans in conspiratorially* Okay, so the pictures? Yeah, they're good. REALLY good. But... and this is a big but... they kinda *under*sell it. I'm serious. I walked in, expecting "nice" and I got, like, "WHOA." Think less sterile hotel vibe and more, "Grandma's house if Grandma had seriously amazing taste and decided to live in a botanical garden." Seriously, I think I saw a hummingbird. Maybe hallucinating from lack of sleep, but still... the feeling was there! It’s not just pretty; it *feels* good. That's the secret sauce, I think.
So, LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Where even IS this place? I don’t want to be miles from everything.
Okay, this is a good one. It's in Ciumbuleuit. Look, I'm terrible with directions. I’d probably get lost in my own living room, let alone Bandung. BUT. It's close enough to the main action—the cafe scene, the shopping, the whole shebang—without being *in* the chaos. It's tucked away, kinda quiet, a little slice of peace… which, let's be honest, is *crucial* after battling the Bandung traffic (which, by the way, is its own special kind of hell). Just make sure you download Grab or Gojek on your phone. Trust me. You’ll thank me later.
Alright, let's talk breakfast. I'm a snacker. Are the included brekkies actually worth getting out of bed for or is it the usual sad hotel continental fare?
Okay, BREAKFAST. Here's where Poetra *truly* shines. Forget sad, stale croissants. We're talking... and this is where I get all glassy-eyed... they had this nasi goreng. OMG. Nasi goreng, people! Perfectly spiced, fluffy rice, a fried egg with a runny yolk, the crispy bits... I almost cried. And the coffee? Real coffee. Not that instant sludge. Okay, maybe I *did* cry a little. I'm a sensitive soul. But seriously, the breakfast alone is worth the price of admission. And if you're lucky, they'll have the banana fritters. Dear Lord, the banana fritters… I'm drooling just thinking about it. Seriously, don’t skip breakfast. Don’t. Trust me. And I'm not even a "breakfast person" usually! This place turned me. A breakfast convert! The breakfast made my soul happy. That's a good breakfast.
Okay, I'm sold on the food. But what about the rooms? Are they clean? Comfortable? Do they smell weird? (I’m traumatized by a past hotel experience…)
Ugh, the smell thing. I feel you. Okay, no weird smells here. Thank God! I cannot deal. The rooms are spotless. Seriously, CLEAN. Like, maybe I’m a little OCD about cleanliness, but I was genuinely impressed. And the beds? Heavenly. You sink right in. I slept like a baby. Well, a baby who wakes up constantly to drink water and check their phone, but you get the idea. And the décor! It’s all clean lines and natural light and... I don't know all the design terms, but the point is, it’s gorgeous. I spent way too much time just wandering around my room, staring at the furniture. And yes, it had AC, which is essential in Bandung's humidity. A true lifesaver, truly.
Is there Wi-Fi? Because, you know, Instagram. And work. (Ugh, the work...)
Yes, there is Wi-Fi. And it's... okay. Let's just say, it's reliable enough to post your Instagram stories and maybe do some light email checking. Don't expect to download a movie in 3 seconds. But it worked. And honestly, it’s probably a good thing to be slightly *disconnected*, so you can actually enjoy the place. Though, I did check my Instagram every five minutes, so maybe *I* need disconnection more than others. You should be fine!
Anything REALLY bad? Any downsides I should know about? Be honest!
Okay, brutally honest? It’s not the cheapest place in town. But then again, you’re getting what you pay for. Quality, comfort, and the aforementioned breakfast of the gods. But if you’re on an *extremely* tight budget… Maybe look around. But I'd say, save up. Honestly! The only other "downside"... and I'm being nitpicky here...is that I didn't stay longer. Seriously, I wanted to move in. I actually looked into whether or not they accepted pets. (They don't, sadly.) And one other thing... This is just me but, the staff, while super friendly and helpful, didn't always speak the best English and, I felt like I might be annoying them...I didn't want to be rude. But it's really not a big deal, because the atmosphere is just SO relaxing!
Okay, final verdict. Would you go back? And would you recommend it?
Are you kidding me? YES. A thousand times, YES. I'm already planning my return trip. And absolutely, 100%, I recommend it. If you're looking for a relaxing, beautiful, delicious getaway in Bandung, you absolutely HAVE to stay at Poetra Properti. Just promise me you'll order the nasi goreng. And the banana fritters. And then tell me all about it, because I'm already jealous. Go. Now! You won't regret it. Seriously. Seriously. Okay, I might be a little obsessed. Don't judge me! *runs off to book another trip*
Anything else I should know? Like, little insider tips?
Okay, LISTEN UP. Insider tips, people! First: book directly through their website if possible. You might get a better rate. Second: The pool area is STUNNING at sunset. Seriously, Instagram-worthy. Third: Pack bug spray. Because, Bandung. Fourth: If you're a night owl, download some movies beforehand, or prepare to listen to the distant din of Bandung until you drift off. And MOST IMPORTANTLY: Leave your stress at the door. This place is designed for chillaxing. Don't overthink it. Just enjoy! And for goodness sake, take a deep breath. You're in Bandung. It's beautiful. Breathe! Now go have fun!
