My first time staying at the Trans Hotel in Cibubur...
1. I deliberately arrived a little early, at 12:30 PM, to register, get my Trans Studio tickets, leave my luggage, and play around. The app only allows check-in until 3:00. When I arrived at the reception, I was immediately given the room key because the room was ready. It's AMAZING! It's rare for a hotel to allow early check-in even when the room is ready...
2. The staff are incredibly friendly, not just to the parents but to the kids as well... always greeting them and chatting with them. They always let me know if they want to play, there's a kids' corner on the 21st floor... which is the best in my opinion. There are also games in the afternoon at the swimming pool, so the kids don't just swim, but also have activities there. I think the swimming pool is smaller than the Trans Bandung one, because today it was really crowded with parents waiting for their kids to swim standing up... so it was a bit crowded.
3. We tried dinner on the 22nd floor at the sky bridge which is really trendy, the view is really great... the place is cozy, the food is delicious, the portions are huge, plus the night view is SO GOOD.
4. BREAKFAST... I got the second batch from 9-11 AM... usually when staying overnight, breakfast is always at 6/7 AM... this time I got it at 9 AM. As a result, the kids were already hungry. Arriving at the third floor at 8:40, we were asked to wait because the first batch wasn't finished yet. But while waiting, they let us eat bread and drinks first. Maybe they were mostly families with children waiting for breakfast. For me, this was the BEST... so we could still squeeze in...
Maybe because of the limited space and the large number of guests because it was a long weekend, after the second batch arrived, the food was extraordinary for me, it was really complete... because there was so much, I was confused so I took things that are rarely found in other places when staying overnight. The dim sum was the best, especially the chicken feet, which I had to double. The sushi is really delicious, especially the cheese ones 🫶.. Overall, the breakfast menu is really delicious 🫶
Overall, I will come back here again, just not during the high season so it's quieter💝
