My Tangerang Tango: A Rambling Review of the Silkwood Apartment
Right, so picture this: You’re dragging your weary self through the labyrinthine corridors of Tangerang, Indonesia. Jet lag is a sneaky ninja, and all you crave is a decent shower and a place to exist for a few days. That’s where the Silkwood Apartment comes in. And from the name alone you can already imagine the level of luxury. (Spoiler alert: it has it, but not without a few hiccups).
Accessibility: Trying to Navigate Through the Muddy Waters
Okay, first things first: Accessibility. Look, I’m not going to pretend to have the perfect frame of reference, but I appreciate a place that thinks about everyone. I'm also not overly familiar with the standards set for accessibility as far as my knowledge goes. The elevator was a godsend after a long flight, and the lobby seemed navigable. I didn't check the rooms thoroughly to see if it's a wheelchair-friendly environment.
It's good to see the facilities are there.
On-site Accessible Restaurants/Lounges: I didn't even realize, so I can't give my insight.
Wheelchair Accessible: As mentioned, the public areas seemed pretty good. The rooms? Can't say definitively. Could be a problem, might need to check and inquire.
Internet: The Eternal Struggle
Internet Access/Free Wi-Fi in All Rooms: THIS IS CRUCIAL! And thankfully, it delivers. The Wi-Fi? Yeah, it's there. Free? YES! So that's a massive win. Honestly, after traveling for so long it's nice to see that a basic necessity like Wifi functions.
Internet (LAN): While I could connect via ethernet, why would I? Wi-Fi, baby! (Though bonus points for the LAN option for the super-nerds who need a wired connection).
Internet Services: Seemed to be on-par with a luxury apartment. Quick and without hiccups.
Wi-Fi in Public Areas: Same as the rooms. Good. Reliable. Important.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Spa Days and Poolside Daze (Mostly)
Oh, the promised relaxation! The Silkwood Apartment offers a veritable smorgasbord (love that word) of chill-out options.
- Body Scrub/Body Wrap: Didn't get to experience these. So, no review here. (Sad face).
- Fitness Center/Gym/Fitness: Standard hotel gym fare, enough to work off the delicious Indonesian food. Machines were functional and the place as clean, which is a plus.
- Foot Bath: Now this sounds intriguing… but alas, I missed out. My feet probably would've loved it.
- Massage: Needed this desperately after the flight. The massage was glorious. Really, really glorious. Book it. Do it. You won't regret it.
- Pool with View: YES! They have a rooftop pool with a view. The view? Okay, it's Tangerang, so let's not pretend it's the Maldives. HOWEVER, it worked. The pool itself was clean, the water felt good, and the sun? Pure bliss.
- Sauna/Spa/Spa/Sauna/Steamroom: Didn't use these, but they were available.
- Swimming Pool/Swimming pool [outdoor]: Mentioned above. Loved it.
Cleanliness and Safety: Are We Safe Here?

- Sterilizing equipment: Yep.
A note: I did see a spot on the wall that could benefit from a cleaning, but, overall, I felt clean, safe, and comfortable.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: My Stomach’s Odyssey
Food. The fuel of the soul, the enemy of the waistline. Let’s see what Silkwood had to offer:
- A la carte in restaurant/Asian cuisine in restaurant/International cuisine in restaurant: They offered a decent mix. Nothing groundbreaking, but satisfying.
- Alternative meal arrangement: Didn’t need it, but good to know.
- Asian breakfast/Breakfast [buffet]/Buffet in restaurant/Breakfast service/Western breakfast/Western cuisine in restaurant: The breakfast buffet was a highlight. Omelets, noodles, pastries… I ate like a king (or at least, a mildly-luxurious tourist).

This is where the Silkwood Apartments really try to shine. Some wins, some meh.
- Air conditioning in public area/Air conditioning: Crucial!

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously color-coded travel itinerary. We're going rogue. We're going…Tangerang! And we're staying in this "Fully Furnished with Comfortable Design 1BR Apartment Silkwood Residences By Travelio." Honestly, the name is already giving me a headache, but hey, let's dive in headfirst. My tolerance for "perfect" is lower than my blood sugar after a missed meal, so expect chaos, questionable decisions, and me probably getting lost.
The Tangerang Tango: A Schedule of Mild Mayhem
(Day 1: Arrival and Apartment Appreciation (and Judgement))
- 14:00 - Arrival at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK): Okay, so the flight was fine. But the guy next to me snored like a rusty chainsaw carving a watermelon. Honestly, I'm not sure how I made it through the flight. Landed in Indonesia! Smells…interesting. Like a mix of diesel, jasmine, and ambition. Love it. Immigration was surprisingly painless. Now, to wrangle a Grab (Indonesian version of Uber/Lyft) to…Silkwood Residences. Fingers crossed the apartment looks as good as it sounds.
- 15:00 - Travel to Silkwood Residences: The Grab driver, bless his heart, barely spoke any English. But we communicated through a combination of frantic hand gestures and increasingly strained smiles. Traffic was…well, let's just say it gave my anxiety a workout. Now I am at the residences.
- 16:00 - Apartment Check-In & First Impressions (and Internal Screaming): The reception? Surprisingly slick. Like, way too slick. Makes me slightly suspicious. The key! The apartment itself! Oh boy. Remember when I said "comfortable design"? Well, let's see. It looks comfortable. But is it lived-in comfortable? Or sterile-hotel-room comfortable? The balcony view is…a view of a giant, unfinished…thing. What is that? A building? A monument to urban planning gone wild? Decisions, decisions. Let's unpack and find out what's next.
- 17:00 - Apartment Inspection and Initial Disappointment (and Hope): Okay, the "fully furnished" is…accurate. It's got everything you need. The TV is massive. The AC is blasting arctic wind (thank god). There's a weird smell near the bathroom, which I think I'll address later with a candle, or maybe a hazmat suit. The couch looks like it might be comfortable. The bed…the bed looks promising. But the curtains… are they properly hung? No, the tension rod is falling. I can feel the beginning of a low-level panic attack. Deep breaths.
- 18:00 - Grocery Run (or Attempt Thereof): I need food. Seriously. The nearest "mini-market" is apparently across the street. Navigating Indonesian traffic on foot? Sounds like a death wish. But, needs must. Wish me luck. I'm picturing myself as a cross between a street urchin and a tourist. Oh, the price for some snacks! I now have to make a run for it.
- 19:00 - Dinner (and Existential Dread): Back in the apartment. With enough snacks to feed a small army. Found some instant noodles. That had a lot of chili. A lot. My mouth is on fire. I'm also wondering if I should attempt to learn some Bahasa Indonesia. Maybe tomorrow. Or maybe never.
- 20:00 - Balcony Observation (and Mosquito Slaughter): The giant, unfinished…thing is still there. It's casting a long shadow. The mosquito army is also there. And they're hungry. I might need to get a mosquito repellent and barricade myself inside.
- 21:00 - TV Time and the Great Curtain Catastrophe: I decided to watch some local TV. It's all in Bahasa Indonesia. I get the gist. The curtain rod fell from the wall again earlier. This might be a theme. I put it up again for the second time. I’m starting to hate that curtain.
- 22:00 - Bedtime (and Hope for Morning): Sleep. Please. And maybe a good breakfast.
(Day 2: Exploring (and Probably Getting Lost))
- 08:00 - Wake-Up Call (or Lack Thereof): The bed? Surprisingly comfy. And the AC kept me happy. I'm alive! And the sun is out. I am going to try and make some coffee.
- 09:00 - A Quest for Coffee: Let's face it, the instant coffee in the apartment is…well, it's instant. Time to find a real coffee. Apparently, there's a cafe not too far. Let's go!
- 10:00 - Coffee-fueled Adventures: Okay, the coffee was…decent. This cafe, called "The Kopi Corner." It seems like a chain. The experience of Tangerang is starting to take shape. I'm very aware that I stick out.
- 11:00 - The Mall, the Madness, and the Lost Wallet: I decided to go to the mall. After a slight navigation hiccup (okay, I got lost!), I made it. Wow. People everywhere. Shops galore. This place is huge. I suddenly realize my wallet is gone. Gone. Gone. Panic level 10.
- 12:00 - The Loss and the Regret: I’ve lost my wallet. I spent the morning crying in the bathroom, and I’ve now accepted I just feel so many emotions. I am not sure what's coming.
- 14:00 - Lunch (and a New Hope): Okay, the food here is good, and it fills the void until I get my wallet back.
- 17:00 - The End of the Day: Time to go back to the apartment, maybe the curtain will now be on the wall.
(Day 3: Departure (and a Bittersweet Goodbye, Maybe))
- 10:00 - One Last Look: I have one last look at the apartment.
- 11:00 - Departure: The driver has arrived.
- 14:00 - Departure Flight
Final Thoughts (and a Deep Breath):
Tangerang? It’s been…an experience. The apartment? A mixed bag. The people? Wonderful. The food? Delicious. The curtain? I think I left it in its current state. Would I come back? Maybe. The call of coffee and adventure might pull me back. But next time, I'm packing a hazmat suit and a really, really good travel guide. And I'm definitely learning some Bahasa.

Tangerang Luxury: My Honestly Messy Take on That Silkwood Apartment! (FAQ -ish)
Okay, seriously, what *is* luxury in Tangerang anyway? And is this Silkwood place actually it?
Alright, deep breaths. "Luxury" in Tangerang... well, it's a relative term, isn't it? You're not exactly talking about a penthouse overlooking the Eiffel Tower. For me, and this is just *my* opinion, it's about a combination of things. Peace and quiet (good luck!), security (vital!), and the feeling that you're not completely, utterly, *lost* in the chaos of the city. And, of course, a decent swimming pool. Seriously, a good pool is the key to happiness in this climate.
Does the Silkwood apartment *deliver*? Well... mostly. The lobby is definitely impressive – it has that whole "glass and marble and a guy in a ridiculously crisp uniform" vibe. My first reaction walking in? "Woah, okay, maybe I've accidentally wandered into a hotel lobby." But then I realized I was actually meant to *live* here, and that, my friends, is where the reality check starts.
I had this whole *romantic* image of myself, sipping lattes on the balcony, overlooking the glittering skyline. The reality? Sometimes it's just the distant rumble of the highway and a guy arguing with a delivery scooter driver. But the view *is* lovely, especially at sunset when the smog, for a brief, beautiful moment, turns the sky into a Monet painting.
Is the 1BR enough space? I'm a borderline hoarder. (And also, any cockroaches? Be honest!)
Borderline hoarder? Honey, I *am* a hoarder. Or, let's be generous and say "collector of experiences." The 1BR is... compact. Let's just leave it at that. You'll need to be ruthlessly efficient with your storage. Think Marie Kondo, but on caffeine. I squeezed in *most* of my life's possessions by some miracle involving clever shelving and a lot of pleading with my partner. He’s very neat. *Very*. It helps. We had to ruthlessly cull the kitchen stuff. That was a tragic day, letting go of my collection of novelty mugs.
As for the cockroaches... *shudders*. Look, this is Southeast Asia. They are... a part of the ecosystem. I'll be honest with you: I saw **one**. Just the one, thankfully. It scurried out from under the fridge. I screamed. My partner, being the calm, collected type, grabbed a slipper. Exterminated. Crisis averted. But the lingering thought, the *feeling*… ugh. I had to wipe everything down, twice, just to feel clean again. It was a real bonding experience. We still joke about it, though.
Pro-tip: Invest in those sticky traps. Do it. Just do it. Peace of mind, people. Peace of mind.
What about the amenities? Can I actually *use* that gym and the pool?
The amenities are the *selling point*, aren't they? The gym… I’m ashamed to say, gets more use from the lizards that scurry around the walls than it does from me. I *intended* to go, I swear! It's just... the pull of the Netflix... is strong. And the lure of the air conditioning is *irresistible*. I went *once*. It was clean, I'll give it that. And there was that one guy who, I think, lived there. He was *seriously* ripped. I'm pretty sure he was showing off. Judging me with his eyes. So I left. After about 10 minutes. I just couldn't.
The pool, however? Ah, the pool. That's where the magic happens. Now, it's not the colossal infinity pool you see in the glossy brochures (those are always lies!), but it’s decent. Usually, there's enough room for a decent swim. Some days though... it feels like the entire complex has decided to cool off at the same time. And then you get the kids. And the screaming. It can be bliss or bedlam, depending on the day, the time of day, and your tolerance for splashing. Bring earplugs if you're sensitive.
Pro tip: The pool is most peaceful around 7 AM. But be warned! The security guards (who are, to be fair, very friendly!) are *very* strict on pool rules. No outside food or drinks. Bags are inspected. It's like airport security, except with more chlorine. So plan accordingly (and maybe smuggle in a secret snack… just don't tell them I said that).
Is the location convenient? Is it easy to get around? Because traffic is a nightmare, right?
Location, location, location! It's... okay. It's Tangerang. Everything is a drive away. You're not strolling to the bakery, let's be clear. Public transport? Well, it *exists*. I've seen the buses. I've never braved them. I'm a Grab/Gojek kind of gal, personally. But the traffic… oh, the traffic! It's legendary. You can lose hours of your life just inching along. It's soul-crushing. Even the scooters weave a tapestry of chaos at the lights.
The apartment itself is, located near a major road. This is both good and bad. Good, because you can (eventually) get to the airport. Bad because the noise. I learned to live in constant state of listening for distant sirens and the endless hum of engines (I’ve also grown accustomed to the smell of exhaust, which I’m sure is a health concern I don't want to know about). My advise. Invest in noise-canceling headphones. They’re a lifesaver (and a sanity preserver.)
How's the internet? Because I need the internet. Desperately.
The internet! The modern-day lifeline! Okay, here's the truth. It's… variable. Some days it screams along, allowing me to binge-watch entire seasons of trashy reality TV. Other days… it's dial-up. Except, you know, a bit faster than dial-up, but not by much. I'm pretty sure I could get a better connection by shouting at the router. I've tried.
I've learned to be patient. I’ve learned to download things overnight. I’ve learned to close all unnecessary tabs. And I've learned to pray to the internet gods (yes, I have a designated prayer corner). It's manageable, most of the time. But if you're a professional gamer or a heavy video producer... well, consider yourself warned. Keep a backup plan – or a very, *very* good book.
Oh, and when it goes out in the middle of an important video call? That's when you question all your life choices. And then order a pizza for comfort.
