FASTROOMS BEKASI: Unbeatable Deals on Bekasi's Best Rooms!
FASTROOMS BEKASI Review: My Brain Dump on Bekasi Bliss (and a few Blips!)
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because I just spent a few days at FASTROOMS BEKASI, and I'm here to give you the unvarnished truth, a messy, glorious, and probably slightly caffeinated truth bomb. They promised "Unbeatable Deals on Bekasi's Best Rooms!" So, did they deliver? Let's dive in, shall we? I'm typing this from a very comfortable sofa, still a little fuzzy from the amazing spa.
Accessibility - The Good, The "Eh…", and The Wishful Thinking:
Okay, let's start with the practical stuff. Accessibility. I appreciate that they mention facilities for disabled guests, but deep dives into specifics are always welcome. Elevators? Check. But what about ramp access to the restaurants? I didn't specifically check, but I'm hoping it's there. The elevator situation was smooth, which is always a win for someone with a slight aversion to stairs (me!).
On-site accessible restaurants / lounges, Wheelchair accessible: I didn't see any explicit mention of "accessible lounges," but I'm also not a frequent lounge-goer. Wheelchair accessibility, as mentioned above, requires a bit more digging to be 100% sure, but the elevator gives me hope.
Internet Access – The Lifeline (and the occasional Dropout):
Let's be real, in this day and age, Internet access is a basic human right. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms?! Bless them! And it was generally pretty solid. I actually needed to download a giant file for work (don't judge!), and it chugged along admirably. Internet [LAN] offered too, but who uses that anymore? Though I did see a guy with a laptop and a LAN cable, which was a blast from the past. Internet services were standard - email, web browsing, social media doomscrolling. All good. Wi-Fi in public areas was also available and worked well.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax – Hello, Spa Day! (and a slight existential crisis):
This is where FASTROOMS Bekasi really started to shine. They absolutely nailed the relaxation game.
- Body scrub? Yes! I feel like a new person.
- Body wrap? Didn't try it, but definitely considering next time.
- Fitness center? Gym/Fitness? Yeah, they had the equipment. Looked pretty standard - treadmills, some weights. Didn't use it. I prefer my workouts to involve lying down.
- Foot bath? Oh, YES. Pure bliss. Absolute, foot-tickling heaven.
- Gym/fitness… already covered it.
- Massage? Sigh. The best massage I've had in ages. Pressure? Perfection. Knots? Annihilated. The masseuse was a magician with hands. I almost fell asleep and didn’t want to leave.
- Pool with view? The pool was BEAUTIFUL. Infinity edges and everything! The view itself wasn't spectacular (Bekasi, you know?), but the pool itself made up for it.
- Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom? Oh HELL YES. I spent a solid hour in the sauna, contemplating my life choices, which mostly involved what I'd be snacking on later. Then transitioned to a steamroom, just… melting away.
- Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor]? See above. Gorgeous, clean, and a perfect place to just… be.
Cleanliness and Safety – Peace of Mind During a Pandemic (and Beyond):
This is where things got REALLY serious.

- Breakfast takeaway service? Another win! For those days when you want to sleep in.
- Cashless payment service? Absolutely. Easy peasy.

- Individually-wrapped food options? Yup.
- Physical distancing of at least 1 meter? Mostly observed.
- Professional-grade sanitizing services? Present, they seemed to take it very seriously.

- Rooms sanitized between stays Assured.
- Safe dining setup? Yes.
- Sanitized kitchen and tableware items? Confirmed.
- Shared stationery removed? Smart move.
- Staff trained in safety protocol? They seemed to be. Everyone wore masks and were polite.
- Sterilizing equipment? I saw some.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – Food Glorious Food! (with occasional hiccups):
Okay, this is where things get a little… mixed.
- A la carte in restaurant? Alternative meal arrangement? Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Bar, Bottle of water… the usual suspects.
- Breakfast [buffet]? My first breakfast, was the BEST! They had everything: pastries, fruit, pastries, cereals, omelets, fruit, and did I mention the pastries? It was a feast.
- Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant? See above.
- Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop? Yes and yes. Glorious coffee.
- Desserts in restaurant? Oh, lord, the desserts! Sinful and delicious.
- Happy hour? Yes! Excellent value.
- International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar? They had options.
- Restaurants, Room service [24-hour]? Good options.
- Salad in restaurant? Yes, good.
- Snack bar, Soup in restaurant? Standard stuff.
- Vegetarian restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant? They had a variety of foods to choose from.
My one minor complaint? One morning, the omelet chef was having an off day. My perfect eggs were overcooked, almost rubbery. Sigh. But the coffee was STRONG, so I survived.

Okay, buckle up, buttercup! This isn't your grandma's itinerary. This is… my itinerary for a whirlwind trip to FASTROOMS BEKASI in Bekasi, Indonesia. And by whirlwind, I mean, "surviving the chaos while maintaining a shred of sanity."
Day 1: Arrival and the Art of Not Losing Your Luggage (Probably)
- 7:00 AM - Wake up, Panic Engage: Okay, deep breaths. Did I pack everything? Passport? Check. Toothbrush? Check. Sanity? Definitely questionable.
- 8:00 AM - Airport Ritual: Getting to the airport. The pre-flight jitters are in full swing. I’m already imagining my luggage ending up in… let's say, Madagascar. Or worse, Jakarta.
- 10:00 AM - Jakarta Arrival & Taxi Tango: Arrived! Holy humidity Batman! The Jakarta airport is a beautiful mess. Finding an honest taxi driver is like trying to find a sensible explanation for why I booked this flight. The traffic to Bekasi is a beast. Beep beep beep! We're in a metal box headed for gridlock.
- 11:30 AM - FASTROOMS Check-In (Pray for Cleanliness):
- Okay, the pictures online looked gorgeous. Fingers crossed real life isn't a letdown. Check-in is a crapshoot. Hopefully, the room doesn't resemble a crime scene.
- Anecdote: Last time I relied on "pictures" online… let's just say the "charming rustic cabin" turned out to be a glorified shed with a leaky roof. Learned my lesson. Kind of.
- 12:30 PM - Lunch - Food Stall Fiasco (Potential for Spicy Regret): I'm starving. Bekasi is screaming street food. Gotta conquer the spicy. I’m thinking nasi goreng. I pray my stomach agrees with the spices. Gotta learn the phrase "tidak terlalu pedas" (not too spicy). If I fail? Well, there’s always Pepto-Bismol.
- 2:00 PM - Exploration of the Local Market : A quick exploration of the local market to get some snacks and soak in the atmosphere. I love seeing what’s new and what I’ll be trying.
- 3:00 PM - Room Reconnaissance & Nap Attempt: Alright, sanity check. Quick tour of the room to get my bearings. Attempt a power nap. The problem? Jet lag. The solution? Probably more coffee.
- 5:00 PM - Finding the Comfort Zone: A Stroll (Hopefully Not a Stumble):
- Time for a walk! Let's see what's around and try the area. Hopefully I won’t stumble in a pothole and end up face-first in a puddle.
- Quirky Observation: The sheer volume of scooters. It’s a symphony of horns and a dance of near-misses. Adrenaline pumping.
- 7:00 PM - Street Food Round 2 (Bravery and Stomach Capacity Test): Dinner. More Street food. This time I’ll try some more ambitious dishes with a side of Pepto-Bismol.
Day 2: Diving Deep (and Maybe Getting Lost)
- 8:00 AM - Breakfast, the Morning Gamble: Here's hoping FASTROOMS has some decent breakfast options. Or else it's back to that street food I devoured last night. I still feel the spice.
- 9:00 AM - Attempt at Indonesian Coffee (Expectations vs. Reality): Gotta try the local coffee. I’m imagining rich, bold flavors. Reality? Possibly a slightly bitter, lukewarm brew. We'll see.
- 10:00 AM - Gojek Adventure & The Labyrinth of Bekasi:
- Okay, time to be brave and use Gojek (Indonesian ride-hailing). Navigating the app is already a challenge.
- Rambling: I’m suddenly filled with anxiety of being lost. I have to get to this place!
- 11:00 AM - Exploring a Local Landmark (Whatever I Can Find and Handle):
- Gonna find something interesting. Maybe a temple. Or maybe just a bustling shopping area. The goal? To survive and have at least one semi-coherent photo.
- Emotional Reaction: The crowds. The noise. It's overwhelming, in a good way. Maybe.
- 1:00 PM - Lunch (Avoidance of Food Poisoning is Key): More food. I feel like a food critic. If I don't get sick.
- 2:00 PM - The Art of Doing Absolutely Nothing (Maybe):
- Back to FASTROOMS. A moment of peace is in order. Trying to relax, read a book (if I haven't already ditched it for my phone).
- Imperfection: I'm probably checking my phone. Guilty as charged.
- 5:00 PM - Sunset, a Few Deep Breath, and Some Local Food:
- Find a rooftop or a park, if there is one. Try to watch the sunset. Maybe I'll actually feel serene.
- Opinionated Rant: The sunsets are the best part of traveling. The world is beautiful when.
- Strong Emotion: I'm overwhelmed, but in a good way.
- 7:00 PM - Dinner Time (Final Push for Culinary Glory): Another meal. Gotta try to find a proper restaurant. Or, hey, maybe the hotel has a decent menu.
- 9:00 PM - The Nightcap Dilemma:
- A quiet drink or a walk. Or maybe just Netflix and a total collapse. My energy is dwindling,
- Stream of Consciousness: Am I enjoying myself? Am I crazy? Probably both. But I'm here. And that's something.
Day 3: Departure (and Attempting to Preserve Memories)
- 8:00 AM - Last Glance, Last Breakfast: One last look at the city. One more, hopefully tasty, breakfast.
- 9:00 AM - Souvenir Hunt (Stressful Shopping): Gotta buy some stuff. The pressure is on. Finding unique gifts is my speciality. I hope.
- 11:00 AM - Last-Minute Exploration (Running on Empty): One last try to see something cool, a quick peak.
- Emotional Reaction: I'm tired and emotional. I love this place.
- 12:00 PM - Check Out and Taxi Chaos (Praying to the Travel Gods): Getting to the airport on time is the most important thing.
- 1:00 PM - Airport: The Final Countdown: Arrive. Go to the airport.
- 3:00 PM - Flight: The End I survived! The trip. The food. The chaos.
Remember: This is just a guide. Things will go wrong. Plans will change. Embrace the chaos. Laugh at the mistakes. And hopefully, you'll have a story to tell. And I might have fun.
Escape to Paradise: Byron Bay's Most Luxurious Beach Houses
Okay, so like, what *IS* this whole "FAQ" thing even about?
Oh, good question! It's basically a giant, slightly chaotic, attempt to answer questions you *might* have. Think of it like this: I'm the slightly unhinged tour guide, and you’re my… well, you’re here. Probably because you're curious, or maybe you're just scrolling and landed here accidentally. Either way, welcome to my mental circus. I figured answering questions would be easier than, ya know, actually facing the world in a coherent manner.
Are these *ACTUALLY* frequently asked questions, or are you just making them up?
*Pshhhh*. Let's be real. The "frequently asked" part? Highly debatable. Most of these? Born directly from the depths of my caffeine-addled imagination. But hey, if you *had* questions, wouldn’t you *want* them answered? I'm providing the answers. You can take them or leave them, pal. I’m not your boss (though sometimes... I wish I was).
You seem… opinionated. Is that a fair assessment?
*Extremely* fair. Look, I didn't spend years of my life developing a solid opinion base *not* to use it. Consider this your warning: I'm not afraid to say what I think. And sometimes, that means a healthy dose of sarcasm, a dash of cynicism, and a whole lotta… me. If you're looking for bland, sanitized answers, you’ve definitely come to the wrong place. Go find a robot. They're great at that.
Okay, okay, so… what are you actually *good* at? Like, what's your *thing*?
Ugh, I hate this question. Okay, fine. I’m *decent* at stringing words together. I can make a story (sort of). I am *very* good at procrastination, which, let's be honest, is a skill in itself. I once spent an entire afternoon trying to perfectly arrange my spice rack by size and color. (Don't judge. I'm a *creative* person.) Is that *good*? Maybe not. Is that *me*? Absolutely.
What's your biggest flaw? Be honest. And please, don't say "perfectionism."
Oh, honey, I have *so* many flaws to choose from. But if I had to pick one... probably my tendency to overthink *everything*. I'm talking, hours spent debating the proper font size for a grocery list. (True story, folks.) It's exhausting. And I get *super* easily distracted. Like, I'll start writing about my flaws and suddenly find myself researching the mating habits of the Tasmanian devil. That's the kind of rabbit hole I fall into… regularly.
Do you have any "real-world" experience? Like, have you, you know, *lived*?
Oh, absolutely! I've lived enough for, like, three people. I spent most of my youth getting lost in the woods, tripping over my own feet, and nursing the occasional heartbreak. Don’t even get me started on that disastrous attempt I had at being a waitress in a diner. Let's just say, I’m far more comfortable behind a keyboard than I am balancing a tray of eggs. I swear, I still get shivers thinking about that one time I dropped a stack of pancakes on a customer. They were nice, though. They didn't yell. They just looked at me with this… pity. That was a *defining* moment, folks. I’m scarred for life!
What’s your favorite thing to do?
Reading! Eating! Snuggling my cat, who is a fluffy, judgy overlord. Sitting by a fireplace, staring into space, just... thinking. And, of course, the occasional nap. I'm not particularly ambitious when it comes to hobbies. The best thing is probably writing. When it's going well, it's like… falling into a warm bath of words. When it's *not* going well? It's more like wading through a swamp. But, hey, even swamps have their charm, right?… Right?
What are you *most* afraid of? (Besides pancakes, apparently.)
…Okay, okay, fine. Pancakes are a valid fear. They’re slippery little… things. But beyond that? I’m afraid of the mundane. Of becoming… beige. Of losing that spark of weirdness that makes me, well, *me*. I’m terrified of the world becoming a giant, flavorless beige blob. And losing my cat. I'd be a mess. A complete, utter, sobbing mess.
What's the *worst* piece of advice you've ever gotten?
Oh, there are *so* many contenders! But there was this one time, a while back, when my well-meaning aunt told me to "just be normal". That was the single *worst* advice I've *ever* received. Because, like, what *is* normal? And why would I *want* to be? It was a direct attack on my core being. It's like, "Hey, stop being you!" The audacity! So, if you're getting advice like that... ignore it. Do whatever the heck makes you happy (within the legal limits, of course). Don’t let anyone tell you to be something you're not. Okay? Okay.
So, what's next? What are *you* going to do *now*?
Well, now that I’ve poured my soul out onto the interwebs, I'm probably going to go get a snack. Maybe stare blankly at the wall for a few hours. Possibly contemplate the meaning of life. Or, I couldBook Hotels Now
