Okay, buckle up, buttercups! This is going to be less a review and more a messy, honest love letter/rant about Paramount Skyline Apt - Unbelievable Studio in Tangerang. Prepare for a roller coaster, because I lived in that place for a week (don't ask) and have opinions.

Let's Dive In (and maybe take a deep breath):
Okay, so the "Unbelievable Studio" part? Kinda true. That view… swoons. Seriously, the first time I walked in (after like, two hours of battling Tangerang traffic, which deserves its own review), my jaw hit the floor. High floor it was! The panorama of the city stretching out, especially at sunset… chef's kiss. It’s almost unfair how beautiful it is.
The Good Stuff - and Boy, Did I Need It:
- The View (Again): I'm going to keep harping on it. Because it's that good. Seriously, the Pool with View is amazing too. Sunsets from the pool? Pure bliss. They really nailed the selling point here.
- Cleanliness & Safety? (Mostly): I was a little paranoid, let's be real. Pandemic and all that. They had Anti-viral cleaning products and Daily disinfection in common areas. I even saw them using a Professional-grade sanitizing service on the way in during my second day. Which was comforting. Especially since I was a little… messy. Let's say I had a pizza incident in the Kitchen and tableware items department and felt bad enough about it that the thorough clean was a good sign. And the Room sanitization opt-out available was great for my OCD-leaning side. They seemed to take this seriously.
- Things to Do (and Ways to Relax): I didn't use all of it, because I mostly just wanted to chill, but the Fitness center was pretty well equipped (I did a few reluctant trips). Plus, the Spa/sauna offered Massage, Body scrub, and Body wrap. That's where the good stuff is.
- Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (the necessities): The Restaurants were… okay. I took advantage of the Room service [24-hour] multiple times (I'm not proud). The Coffee shop was a lifesaver. The Poolside bar served a pretty killer margarita (or maybe it was the view talking?). There wasn't a Vegetarian restaurant that I could find (which was a bummer for a friend), but I managed. The Asian cuisine in restaurant was a solid enough option.
- Services and Conveniences: The Concierge was genuinely helpful, even when I was struggling trying to find my way using only google maps and a small amount of Indonesian. The Cash withdrawal was a godsend, and the Convenience store downstairs had me set up for snacks. And the Daily housekeeping, while not perfect, was generally appreciated. I swear I left a trail of crumbs wherever I went. I was that guest.
The "Meh" and the "Ugh…":
- Accessibility: Okay, so technically they say there are
Facilities for disabled guests. I didn't need any, but I poked around a bit. The elevators were decent, but I’m not sure how accessible everything really is. A bit of a question mark there. - Internet (The Eternal Struggle): The promise of Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!… It was… spotty. The Internet access – wireless was often agonizingly slow. I resorted to using the Internet access – LAN on occasion, but even that wasn't always reliable. Like, I'm trying to work here, Paramount! I'm relying on that Wi-Fi! I need the internet, dude! Rant over.
- Breakfast? (Sort Of): The Breakfast [buffet] was, let's say, a bit… limited. The Asian breakfast offerings were fine, but the Western breakfast was… well, let’s just say it wouldn’t win any culinary awards. I heard good things about the Breakfast in room, but I never got one.
- Getting Around (and Staying There): The Airport transfer was great, but I didn't use it cause I was not coming from the airport. I used the Taxi service and it was reliable enough. And the Car park [free of charge] was awesome because I had a car.
- Stuff I Didn't Need, But Checked Anyway: The Babysitting service wasn't useful to me—thank god—but if you're traveling with a kid, maybe ask for some reviews for it. I don't have any personal experience to relate back to.
Deep Dive: My Poolside Epiphany (or "That Time I Almost Drowned in My Own Thoughts"):
Okay, let me tell you about the pool. That pool. I spent a good few hours sprawled out on a sun lounger, mostly just… staring. Staring at the view, of course. But also, staring at my life. The Pool with view is truly something special. Watching the city lights twinkle as the sun went down, the water so clear and cool—it was a genuinely meditative experience. The Poolside bar was close enough to order a drink from, but far enough that the noise wasn’t too distracting.
And then, one evening, I had a realization. This place… it’s not perfect. The Wi-Fi will drive you crazy. The breakfast might disappoint. But that view… that view makes it worth it. And maybe that's the point. It’s a reminder to appreciate the good stuff, even when the little things threaten to drive you batty. (And trust me, the Wi-Fi will test your patience). That pool, that moment… that’s what I’ll remember. It helped me get myself together after a truly epic day of disasters.
The Nitty-Gritty (What's Actually In The Room):
- The Good: Air conditioning was a lifesaver. The Blackout curtains allowed me to sleep in (when I wasn't staring at the view). The Coffee/tea maker was essential. The Hair dryer was actually pretty good. The Refrigerator was perfect for my late-night snacks. And the Bathroom phone was a feature I never knew I needed until I had one.
- The Meh: The Bed was okay. Not the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in, but not awful. The Mirror… was a mirror. What more can I say?
- The Annoying: Sometimes the Soundproofing wasn’t great. You could hear… things. And the Slippers weren't the best.
The Verdict (The Messy Truth):
Would I go back? Absolutely. Despite the quirks, the occasional Wi-Fi tantrum, and the imperfect breakfast, the Paramount Skyline Apt – Unbelievable Studio is a solid choice. It’s the view, people. The view. Remember to bring your own snacks, be patient with the internet, and just… breathe. And go swim in that pool. It's worth it. It really, really is. You can't go wrong with the safety and cleanliness of the place. I would stay there again.
Final Note: Don't expect perfection. Tangerang isn't always perfect. But that view… that view is pretty damn close. And isn’t perfection just boring anyway?

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your sterile, perfectly-planned travel itinerary. This is the raw, unfiltered diary of my escapade to the Simply Studio Paramount Skyline Apt in Tangerang, Indonesia. And trust me, it's gonna be a wild ride.
My "Itinerary" (More like a Suggestion, Really)
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Noodle Hunt
- Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): So, the flight. Let's just say budget airlines and my delicate stomach are not friends. Landed in Jakarta, feeling like I'd wrestled a bear AND lost. The sheer humidity hit me like a warm, wet blanket. Seriously, Indonesia, are you trying to melt me? Anyway, snagged a Grab (thank GOD for technology!), and the driver, bless his heart, didn't judge my panicked sweating during the drive.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Arrived at the Paramount Skyline. The "Simply Studio" lived up to the "studio" part. Tiny but clean. The view, though… chef's kiss. Overlooking a chaotic mix of buildings and lush greenery… it was beautiful! Initial verdict: Not a palace, but comfy.
- Afternoon (4:00 PM - 7:00 PM): The Great Noodle Hunt. My stomach was growling. Seriously, I'm pretty sure I could hear it from across the apartment. I'd heard whispers of amazing street food, and I was on a MISSION. Wandered around. Got lost… several times. Let's just say my sense of direction is about as reliable as a politician's promise.
- Anecdote: Ended up in what I thought was a noodle shop. It was, but it was also a karaoke bar. The food was… okay. The singing? Let's just say it was a special kind of experience. Witnessing Indonesians belt out power ballads with such gusto was truly something to behold.
- Evening (7:00 PM - 9:00 PM): Collapse in the apartment. Exhausted, slightly bewildered, and full of questionable karaoke bar noodles. Netflix and chill, Indonesian style.
- Evening (9:00 PM - 10:00 PM): Realized I forgot to buy water. Oops.
Day 2: Temples, Tears, and Tempeh
- Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Had a mission: Visit a temple. Found one on Google Maps. Looked stunning! Took another Grab, which was, again, a sweaty experience. Arrived. Monumental disappointment. Turns out, this temple was currently under construction. Seriously? My luck is insane.
- Quirky Observation: I'm starting to think Google Maps is just trying to mess with me.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Forced positivity. Found a small, local restaurant. Ordered something called "Tempeh Goreng". It. Was. AMAZING. Crispy, savory, fried goodness. Actually cried a tiny bit of joy.
- Emotional Reaction: Seriously, I think I'm in love with tempeh. It's like a crunchy hug in my mouth.
- Afternoon (4:00 PM - 7:00 PM): The "Mall Adventure." I felt bad, but I had to buy some things. The shopping mall was a sensory overload, a mix of luxury brands I couldn't dream of affording and stalls selling everything you could think of. Tried some weird ice cream, which I shall never be getting again.
- Evening (7:00 PM - 9:00 PM): Back to the Simply Studio. Contemplating my life choices on the balcony. The city lights twinkling… feeling a sudden, inexplicable sense of peace.
- Evening (9:00 PM - 10:00 PM): Wondering if I should order room service… and if so, what do they even have?
Day 3: The Road Less Traveled (and Probably Regretted)?
- Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Decided to be adventurous. Against all better judgement, I considered taking the local transportation. I'm going to the "Traditional Market". Got lost for about an hour trying to get myself at the location.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM): At the Traditional Market, I felt like a fish in water. I kept asking questions about the food. I purchased some "Sate Ayam", and I'm absolutely loving it!
- Afternoon (4:00 PM - 7:00 PM): Back at the apartment. Thinking about packing my stuff.
- Evening (7:00 PM - 9:00 PM): Feeling the reality of returning home, and trying to pack the stuff I bought.
- Evening (9:00 PM - 10:00 PM): Sleep time.
Day 4: Departure and Reflections (Or, More Likely, Regrets)
- Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Packing, cleaning, last-minute panic. Checking out of the Simply Studio. Saying a silent prayer that my flight won't be delayed.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM): The journey back to the airport.
- Afternoon (4:00 PM - 7:00 PM): On the plane. Thinking about tempeh. Dreaming of the street food.
- Evening (7:00 PM - 9:00 PM): Landing back home.
- Evening (9:00 PM - 10:00 PM): Sleep time.
Final Thoughts (aka, the Messy Wrap-Up)
So, that was it. My chaotic, unplanned adventure in Tangerang. Was it perfect? Absolutely not. Was it a disaster? Sometimes, yeah. But would I do it again? In a heartbeat. The imperfect moments, the wrong turns, the questionable karaoke… that's what makes travel REAL. And honestly? I wouldn't trade it for a perfectly planned, sterile vacation any day. Indonesia, you've got a soul. And you can be damn sure I'll be back to find more.

So, what *is* this whole "thingamajig" about? Like, seriously, what are we even talking about?
Ugh, okay, start me off with THE hardest question, why don't ya? Alright, alright. "Thingamajig." Let's just say it's like… that feeling. You know? That *thing*. The one you can never quite put your finger on, but that always seems to be lurking just behind the frosted glass of reality. Like, that feeling after you finish a ridiculously messy painting, or the feeling that comes after an extremely embarrassing moment or a hilariously awkward conversation? We're aiming for that, the essence of the human experience, wrapped in a… well, you'll see.
Why should I even *care* about the Thingamajig, anyway? Sounds… abstract. And frankly, exhausting.
Exhausting? Honey, you've hit the nail on the head. It *is* exhausting, the whole shebang! But listen. Here's the deal. I think. See, life is… (deep breath)… a massive tapestry woven from a ridiculous amount of threads. The Thingamajig? It's like… one of the stronger threads. Grasping it means grasping yourself—the messy, beautiful, flawed, and oh-so-human self.
I once had a friend who always dismissed everything like this as "woo-woo nonsense." But she was also perpetually miserable, so… I'll take the chaos over the consistent misery, thank you very much.
Okay, alright. Fine. But *how* do I even… *Thingamajig*? Does that make sense?
Okay, first, don't worry about doing it "right." There *is* no right. Just… *being*. Okay? Just… letting the world wash over you, the good, the bad, the "Why is that banana bread so dense?" Honestly. It's all part of it.
I remember once, I was trying to *thingamajig* while navigating a disastrous house remodel. The contractor was late, the sink was leaking, and my cat, Mittens, had decided the best place to nap was in the open drywall. I'd have paid a LOT of money to just go the heck out of it. But I kept at it, feeling the chaos, the frustration, the… well, all of it. And somehow, amidst the plumbing problems, I started, as the saying goes, to breathe.
Just be in the moment. Savor the bad coffee. Embrace the weirdness. That's it to start.
Does it work? I've had some pretty bad experiences with things like this in the past.
Ugh, I get it. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt (which, by the way, is now covered in cat hair and coffee stains). Look, I'm not going to lie to you. Nothing is a silver bullet. Nothing is a magic cure-all.
It doesn't always work. I mean, some days, I feel like I'm flailing around in a sea of existential dread, and the last thing I want to do is embrace it. But other days, it's transformative. It's like… taking a deep breath and accepting the mess. Actually, I’ve been trying to get my spouse to actually *use* this, and it's not going the way of the relationship at all, but that's another story entirely!
If you find it helpful, great! If not, well, you’re no worse off than you were before. Maybe with a new perspective for dealing with your own problems. Maybe. No promises.
Where do I start? Is there any kind of a "beginner's kit"?
Ha! A "beginner's kit"! I love that. The universe, with its endless supply of chaos, is your beginner's kit, and the only tool you need is a willingness to… well, *be*. Okay, maybe some other tools are going to be useful. A journal, a pen, maybe a good therapist (if you've got access). A friend who is okay with a lot of messy, emotional vent sessions. A favorite song playlist. Ice cream for when it all hits the fan. You get the idea.
The best advice I can give you? Start Small. Small changes can make a big difference. Take walks. Drink coffee. Think about your current issues and problems. Don't be afraid to look at what is wrong. Embrace the imperfections. And for the love of all that is holy, laugh at yourself! Because, trust me, there's plenty to laugh at.
What happens if I fail?
Fail? Oh honey, you *will* fail. We all do. I've failed more times than I've had hot dinners. And I’m okay with that! The secret? Failure is just… information. A data point. Think of it as your own personal research project into the human condition.
Do not be upset. You're not going to be perfect. Just remember, every single mess, every single slip-up, every single tear-soaked pillow? That's all contributing to the glorious, beautifully flawed symphony that is your life. And that is a big part of the Thingamajig as a whole.
Okay, so if it's so hard, why bother?
Because… well, what's the alternative? To just… not? To go through life on autopilot, avoiding the messy, the real, the *stuff*? Yeah, maybe that’s appealing. I mean, I’d love to be perpetually blissed out and surrounded by fluffy puppies. But the truth is, that’s just not real. I tried it for a little while. Didn't work.
So, why bother? Because living is messy, and it's beautiful, and it's heartbreaking, and it's hilarious. And the Thingamajig? It's about trying to find the joy, and beauty, and laughter even in the absolute chaos. It's about being brave enough to be you. The whole, damn, glorious *you*.
