Tokyo Riverside Dream: Stunning 2BR Combined Unit in Tangerang!
Okay, buckle up, because we're about to dive headfirst into the… well, let's call it “Tokyo Riverside Dream: Stunning 2BR Combined Unit in Tangerang!” experience. I just spent a week there, and let me tell you, it was a mixed bag. Like a delicious, somewhat lumpy, Indonesian gado-gado, if you will.
First Impressions & the Gut Check – Is This Place Worth It?
Right off the bat, the “stunning” part? Yeah, some of it is. The combined unit is spacious, no doubt. Plenty of room to, you know, exist. The views of the… river? Lake? Whatever that body of water is, from my window were actually kinda pretty. Maybe it's just the low expectations of Tangerang, but it's a pleasant surprise. The 2BR setup is fantastic for families or groups, which is a major point in its favor, especially given the price, I'd say it's… mostly worth it. If you're expecting pure luxury, maybe adjust your compass, but for a comfortable and well-equipped basecamp in Tangerang? Yeah, I'm leaning heavily towards yes.
Accessibility & Getting Around – My Biggest Gripes (and a Few Wins)
Okay, this is where things get… interesting. “Accessibility” is a word they use, but it's not clear if they get it, if you know what I mean.
- Accessibility: There's a vague semblance of it. The elevators work, thankfully. I saw a few ramps, but navigating the whole place with a wheelchair? Hmm, I'd call ahead to double-check. The website claims "Facilities for disabled guests," but I have no real insight into the scope of the facilities
- Car Park: Car park is free, which is a bonus. Parking is "on-site".
- Airport Transfer: Available, thank goodness! After a long flight, the last thing you want is a scramble for a taxi.
- Taxi service: Available.
- Getting around: A mixed bag, mostly leaning on the accessibility score.
Cleanliness & Safety – Can I Breathe Here? (Mostly, Yes)
Alright, I'm a bit of a germaphobe, so this is important. And I have to admit, Tokyo Riverside Dream takes it seriously.
- Anti-viral cleaning products: Good sign!
- Daily disinfection in common areas: Check.
- Rooms sanitized between stays: Big relief.
- Hand sanitizer: Everywhere.
- Staff trained in safety protocol: Actually, they seemed on the ball.
- Room sanitization opt-out available: Good for those who prefer a more 'lived-in' feel.
- More stuff: First Aid kit, Fire extinguisher, Smoke alarms, etc.
The Room Itself – Where the Magic (and the Minor Annoyances) Happen
My "combined unit" was roomy, I'll give it that. It had everything:
- Air conditioning: Essential in the Tangerang heat.
- Free Wi-Fi: Worked reliably – thank goodness!
- Desk & Laptop workspace: Perfect for catching up on emails.
- Coffee/tea maker: Lifesaver. Especially after a long day. The supplied coffee sachets? Okay, let's be honest, they're basic. But still… coffee.
- Mini bar: A bit paltry, but the fridge was cold, so I could store my own drinks.
- Blackout curtains: YES. Slept like a baby.
Now here’s where it get’s interesting. The "extra long bed" wasn't that extra long. And the "bathrobes" were just… sorta okay. Still, I appreciated them. It wasn't perfect, but I can't complain too much.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – Food, Glorious Food, with Some Quirks
This is where the "mixed bag" really shines. The restaurant situation is… a journey.
- Restaurants: They have restaurants! Plural!
- A la carte in restaurant: Options galore.
- Breakfast [buffet]: And that is a must. The Asian breakfast was great, with the chef actually making fresh noodle soup.
- Poolside bar: The pool area is nice enough, but the bar service was a little hit-or-miss. Some days, it was efficient. Other days, I was flagging down a waiter like I was stranded on a desert island.
- Coffee shop: Another perk, it was great for a quick Caffeine fix.
Ways to Relax and/or Sweat – The Spa and the Gym… and that Pool
Let's be real, sometimes you just need to zen out.
- Swimming pool: The outdoor pool is lovely, with that "view" I mentioned. Clean and good for an afternoon dip.
- Fitness center: A decent gym, with the usual treadmills and weights. Nothing spectacular, but it does the job.
- Spa/Sauna: All available.
- Massage: I had a massage. It was… good. Not life-altering, but relaxing.
- Body scrub & Body wrap: Too bad, I didn't experience them personally
Services and Conveniences – The Little Things That Matter
Tokyo Riverside Dream offers a decent array of services, some of which significantly improve the experience.
- Concierge: Helpful.
- Daily housekeeping: Fantastic. Always came back to a clean room.
- Laundry service: A lifesaver if you’re traveling light.
- Cash withdrawal & Currency exchange: Easy.
- Convenience store: Perfect for that late-night snack run. The water, tissues, and other essentials.
For the Kids – Family-Friendly Vibes
- Babysitting service & Kids facilities: They've got the basics covered.
- Rooms, facilities: Family/child friendly.
Internet – Did I Survive Without Wi-Fi Withdrawal?
- Free Wi-Fi in all rooms: Yes! And it worked, most of the time, which is always a relief.
- Internet access – LAN: Available. I did not use it
- Wi-Fi for special events: Available.
The Wrap-Up – Should You Book?
Okay, here's the gist: Tokyo Riverside Dream is a solid choice for a comfortable stay in Tangerang, especially if you're traveling with family or need a spacious unit. It's not the height of luxury, but it's clean, well-equipped, and offers a decent range of amenities. Some service elements could be smoother, and the accessibility isn't perfect, but overall, it’s a good choice.
My Recommendation? If you value space, a good location, and reliable basics, absolutely book it. Just manage your expectations a little, and you'll have a perfectly pleasant stay. I'd go back. I'd definitely go back.

Alright, buckle up, buttercups! This ain't your grandma's perfectly polished travel itinerary. This is… well, me, attempting to navigate Tokyo Riverside PIK 2 by Travelio in Tangerang, Indonesia, and probably making a glorious mess of it. Let's see if I can even remember what I’m supposed to be doing.
The 'Almost Definitely Gonna Go Wrong' Tokyo Riverside PIK 2 Adventure
Day 1: Arrival (and the Great Air Conditioning Mystery)
- 14:00: Land in Jakarta (Soekarno-Hatta, naturally). Deep breaths. Okay. Right. Immigration… hoping I don’t accidentally try to smuggle a durian in my backpack again (bad flashbacks to Bangkok).
- 15:30: Taxi chaos! Finding a reputable taxi is like finding a unicorn that speaks fluent Bahasa Indonesia. Last time, the driver tried to charge me double, claiming “traffic jam surcharge.” I swear, the traffic in Jakarta is always a surcharge.
- 17:00: ARRIVE (hopefully!) at Tokyo Riverside PIK 2 By Travelio. Finding the actual apartment might be an adventure in itself. Praying the instructions are clear. Praying the building isn't a maze of identical hallways.
- 17:30: The Real Test Begins: Apartment Inspection. Okay, first impressions. Does it actually look like the photos? Is the air conditioning a functioning machine or a glorified fan that coughs up dust bunnies? (This is honestly the most important question). If the AC works, I’m basically in heaven. If not… well, I'll be writing a strongly worded email to Travelio, while simultaneously questioning all my life choices.
- 18:00: Unpack, collapse on the bed, and immediately regret packing so many clothes. Why do I ALWAYS overpack? The sheer weight of my suitcase suggests I'm preparing for a nuclear winter.
- 19:00: Explore the apartment's immediate surroundings. Find nearest convenience stores. I have the crippling urge to buy a mountain of snacks. Mandatory. The first few hours in a new place are always about establishing snack supremacy.
- 19:30: Hunger pangs hit. Time to search for dinner. Options? Street food? Fancy restaurant? The decision paralyzes me. I'm forever indecisive. Usually I’ll end up wandering around, getting lost, and eventually eating something I regret. This is the way.
Day 2: Jakarta Day Trip (or, The Day I Questioned My Life Choices Again)
- 08:00: Wake up. Hopefully, the AC is still functioning. If not, I'm seriously reconsidering my life decisions. And maybe my hair will look like a bird's nest, who knows?
- 09:00: Breakfast. Probably toast and instant Indonesian coffee (unless I’m feeling adventurous and find a local warung nearby… which is risky, considering the state of my stomach).
- 10:00: Head to Jakarta! I'm thinking the old town (Kota Tua), maybe the National Museum. I love history, even if I retain about 5% of what I see.
- An anecdote: The last time I tried to "do history" in a foreign country, I somehow ended up in a bizarre market haggling over… a chicken statue? I have no idea why I bought it. It's currently residing on my bookshelf gathering dust.
- 12:00: Arrive in Kota Tua. Get completely overwhelmed by the crowds. Get yelled at by a street vendor for accidentally bumping into their cart. Consider abandoning the plan entirely and going back to Tangerang.
- 13:00: Lunch in Kota Tua. Try to find somewhere that isn't overrun with tourists. Probably fail. Order food that looks amazing but tastes… well, it’s an experience.
- 14:00: Wander around. Take a picture of everything, even the pigeons. Maybe go to the museum, maybe get distracted by another chicken statue. Who knows?
- 17:00: Traffic. The inevitable Jakarta traffic. Prepare to be stuck in a metal box for hours. Pray for the sweet release of death… or at least a working phone charger.
- 19:00: Back to Tokyo Riverside. Dinner. More snacks. Netflix (duh).
Day 3: Tokyo Riverside Bliss (and the Great Swimming Pool Debacle)
- 09:00: Sleep in. Let the AC work its magic. Bliss.
- 10:00: Breakfast. (Are you sensing a theme here?)
- 11:00: Explore the amenities in the building. Swimming pool? Gym? I am not a gym person. But I'm definitely swimsuit material (in theory). Swim or die trying, basically.
- The Great Swimming Pool Debacle: Last time I tried to swim in a hotel pool, I forgot my… everything. Towel? Nope. Sunscreen? Nope. Goggles? LOL, no. I ended up squinting in the sun, getting a horrific sunburn, and feeling incredibly self-conscious of my pasty, un-tanned bod. This time, I swear, I'll be prepared. (Narrator: She will not.)
- 12:00: Lunch. Probably something easy like instant noodles (don’t judge!).
- 13:00: Relax time. Read a book, listen to music, basically do absolutely nothing. This is the main reason I travel. The ability to do jack all without feeling guilty.
- 16:00: Find a good cafe. (coffee and sweets, I'm in).
- 18:00: Sunset. Witness it. It's beautiful. Take a lot of pictures. Post them on Instagram. Pretend I'm a sophisticated traveler.
- 19:00: Dinner. The apartment. Possibly try cooking something myself. (Another potential disaster. I'm a terrible cook, especially when I'm jet-lagged. Last time I tried, the smoke alarm went off). Order take out, if I don't feel like cooking (which is probable).
- 20:00: Watch some TV. (I'm a boring person, okay?)
Day 4: Departure (and the Sad Realization That It's Over)
- 08:00: Wake up. Pack. The dreaded packing process. Re-evaluate if I needed all the things I brought.
- 09:00: Breakfast. Reminisce about the adventure (and the AC’s performance).
- 10:00: Check out. Pray everything is in order and I haven't left anything vital behind (like my passport. Or my sanity).
- 11:00: The taxi struggle begins, round two. Hope for the best. Expect the worst.
- 12:00: Arrive at the airport. Last-minute souvenir shopping (because I’m terrible at planning).
- 14:00: Fly home. Start planning my next trip the moment I feel the seatbelt click.
The Messy Aftermath:
Honestly, this itinerary is probably going to be a complete disaster. Things will go wrong. I'll get lost. I'll eat questionable food. I'll probably cry at least once from sheer exhaustion and the existential dread of being alone in a foreign country. But that's the beauty of it, right? The messiness, the imperfections, the unexpected moments. I'm going to make mistakes. That's inevitable. But maybe, just maybe, I'll also have a few amazing, ridiculously funny, and utterly unforgettable experiences.
Wish me luck. I'm going to need it. And maybe, just maybe, send pizza. Or a backup AC unit. Just in case.

Tokyo Riverside Dream: 2BR Combined Unit - FAQs (and a Little Bit of My Life)
Okay, so “Tokyo Riverside Dream”… sounds fancy. Is it *actually* nice? Like, is the air conditioning fighting a losing battle against the Tangerang humidity?
Alright, buckle up, because here's the truth. “Dream” is a strong word. I mean, it's not *bad*. The AC? Okay, *that’s* a drama. Listen, I've lived in places where the air felt thicker than a bowl of sago. Tangerang is *on the cusp* of that sometimes. The AC in the unit? It's alright. It *struggles* on the super humid days. You know, those days where you walk outside and immediately feel like you've just run a marathon in a sauna? Yeah, those days. You'll be reaching for that remote *constantly*. But on the upside, the combined unit *does* mean more space for the AC to *sort of* work, albeit with a valiant effort. Think of it as a moderately successful ongoing battle. You win some, you lose some. Mostly you're *a bit* damp.
What’s the deal with the “combined unit” thing? Does that mean it’s… bigger? Because space is a precious commodity in these parts.
Yes! Okay, good question. “Combined unit” – that's the golden ticket. It *does* mean more space. My first apartment in Tangerang was like living in a shoebox- that sounds dramatic, but it's honestly pretty accurate. This is... better. Think of it like this: you’re getting the square footage of *two* apartments, but for a (hopefully) more reasonable price, because, you know, combined. My friend actually *lived* in a regular 2BR and she was *jealous*. She kept going on and on about my "roomy oasis". She had a point. It's not a mansion, mind you. Don't expect Versailles. But you *can* actually breathe in here without accidentally elbowing a wall. That alone is worth the price of admission. Plus, more space for… stuff! (We all have stuff, don't we? Don't judge.)
Is it, like, *actually* in Tokyo? Because I'm fairly certain last time I checked, Tangerang isn't in Japan.
Nope. No, it isn't in Tokyo. No. While that would be AMAZING and I seriously daydream about living in Tokyo, I'd be writing this from a *very* different address if that were the case. It's in Tangerang. The "Tokyo" is, shall we say, an... *inspired* naming choice. Think of it as *inspired* by Tokyo. Like, maybe the developers saw some pictures of Tokyo and went, "Ooh! Let's make something that *feels* a bit like that!" It's more the *vibe* than the literal location. There are Japanese-inspired elements like *Japanese Garden* and *Restaurant Japan*, but Tangerang, Indonesia is where you will actually be. It *is* close to a decent shopping mall, which is its own kind of blessing and curse.
What are the amenities like? Do they have a nice pool? Because I need a pool. Desperately.
The amenities are… well, they exist. There *is* a pool. And honestly? It's pretty decent. It's not the Olympic-sized, water-slide-included, resort-style pool of my dreams, but it's a pool. It's usually clean-ish. And on a scorcher of a day, it's *heaven*. The pool area gets crowded at times, especially on weekends. I once saw a guy literally fall asleep *in* the pool on a floaty. He was fine! Just a little… prune-y. They also have a gym (which I *intend* to use more often than I actually do, because, let's be honest, Netflix is a powerful rival) and various other things. The "other things" kinda blend into the background noise, you know? There's a playground for the kids, a little shop or two, and... yeah. The pool's the main draw. Priorities, people!
Is it noisy? I'm a light sleeper, and I've heard Tangerang can be… lively.
Ah, the noise. Tangerang’s never quiet, let me tell you. The location inside the complex? Well, it depends on your luck and where exactly your unit is. If your windows face the main road (which, let's be real, half the units do), you're going to hear the honking. It's a constant hum, a background track to your life. You'll get used to it. Or at least, you'll learn to tune it out. Sometimes, I just embrace it. It’s not an orchestra, but it's *life*, baby! Earplugs are a good investment for the light sleepers among us. And, let's be honest, Tangerang is a city that *never* sleeps. The sounds of life go on all the time. Construction, motorcycle, loud music from neighbors, the occasional karaoke. It can be a little frustrating sometimes, but you can't change it, so you learn to live with it.
Parking, ugh. What's the parking situation like? Is it a nightmare?
Okay. Parking. Deep breaths. It's… doable. But "doable" doesn’t equal "pleasant." It's not the worst I've seen, but it also isn't close to being the best. It depends *massively* on when you get home. If you're rolling in after 8 p.m., prepare for a scavenger hunt for a spot. I've spent what felt like an hour circling the parking garage, praying for someone to pull out. It's seriously the highlight of my day, so to speak. Then, finding your way to your unit can be daunting. Long hallways, sometimes poorly lit. If you have a car, make peace with the parking gods. If you don't? You're probably better off, honestly. It can be a seriously frustrating experience. And trust me, a bad parking experience can ruin your entire evening.
Anything I should know *before* I sign the lease? Like, any hidden gotchas? The things they *don't* tell you upfront?
*Okay*, this is the important part. Listen up. First, read the fine print. Seriously, *read it*. Don't just skim it. They may be vague about what's *actually* included in the rent, I've had to do a bit of negotiation or a lot of complaining depending on the day, but hey, that’s life in Indonesia, right? Second, the internet. The internet situation *can be*… spottyFind That Hotel
