Bandung's BEST Kept Secret? Jabrix Hotel Mitra RedDoorz Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, 'cause we're diving headfirst into a Bandung secret, a real hidden gem… or at least that's what the hype says. We're talking about Bandung's BEST Kept Secret? Jabrix Hotel Mitra RedDoorz Awaits! Let's see if the secret's worth spilling, shall we?
First Impressions (and a little bit of 'Is this it?' Anxiety):
Okay, so "BEST KEPT SECRET" is a bold claim. Stepping out of the taxi, the first impression… wasn't exactly fireworks. It’s a RedDoorz, so expectations are… adjusted. Let's just say it wasn't the Taj Mahal. It's clean, it's functional, it's… modest. But hey, you can't judge a book by its cover (or a hotel by its lobby). I'm gonna keep an open mind and look at the actual stuff.
Accessibility:
- Accessibility: Now, this is key. Unfortunately, detailed accessibility info is tricky without being physically present to confirm. RedDoorz often varies. I did see in some reviews mentions of elevators, which is great for accessibility. I'd strongly recommend confirming wheelchair accessibility (bathrooms, entrances, etc.) directly with the hotel before booking if accessibility is a major concern. Don't just trust the generic listings. Call. Email. Be sure.
- Facilities for disabled guests: See above. VERIFY.
Cleanliness and Safety: Feeling Safe
- Anti-viral cleaning products: Hopefully! I'm assuming this is the standard now.
- Breakfast takeaway service: YES. A lifesaver if you're dragging.
- Cashless payment service: Essential. Get that GoPay ready.
- Daily disinfection in common areas: Good to hear.
- Doctor/nurse on call: Always a plus. Peace of mind is priceless.
- First aid kit, Hand sanitizer: Okay, checking the boxes.
- Hygiene certification: Fingers crossed.
- Individually-wrapped food options: Smart move.
- Physical distancing of at least 1 meter: Theoretically, yes. In practice… depends.
- Rooms sanitized between stays: This is the MOST important.
- Safe dining setup: Again, hope, right?
- **Staff trained in safety protocol: Hopefully so, i think they will have training
- Sterilizing equipment: The big guns.
Alright, I feel slightly less paranoid. Because in a world where the very air seems questionable, these things are important, right?
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Adventure
- A la carte in restaurant, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, Restaurants, Room service [24-hour], Salad in restaurant, Snack bar, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western cuisine in restaurant: This is where things get interesting/stressful. It implies a decent range. BUT – remember, this is RedDoorz. The quality is the question. A "restaurant" might be a glorified breakfast nook.
- Poolside bar: The dream! (If they have a decent pool, that is.)
- Bar: Again, hopefully a decent one.
- Bottle of water: Expected.
- Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service: Here's where the real test comes: the breakfast buffet. Always the critical point. Was it edible? Was it cold? Did it have nasi goreng? This makes or breaks a hotel experience for me. I had to wake up to the free range coffee and tea.
Things to do, ways to relax:
- Body scrub, Body wrap, Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Pool with view, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor]: Now, here's where the "BEST KEPT SECRET?" part starts to feel…overblown. Most of these are missing here, but for some people, it's a deal breaker.
- Terrace: Maybe a place to relax, maybe not.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things (That Matter)
- Air conditioning in public area, Audio-visual equipment for special events, Business facilities, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Contactless check-in/out, Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Elevator, Essential condiments, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Indoor venue for special events, Invoice provided, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings, Meeting stationery, On-site event hosting, Outdoor venue for special events, Projector/LED display, Safety deposit boxes, Seminars, Shrine, Smoking area, Terrace, Wi-Fi for special events, Xerox/fax in business center: A decent list, but again, depends on EXECUTION.
- Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Car power charging station, Taxi service, Valet parking: Great. Especially the free parking! Parking in Bandung can be a NIGHTMARE for people who dont have a car.
For the kids:
- Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal: Not a biggie for me, but good to know if you're traveling with the little ones. Getting around
- Airport transfer: Another great, it must be the most convenient way to arrive at the place. Rooms? The Real Test! (Let's Pee Inside!)
Okay, let's get down to the ROOMS. This is where it happens, right? The whole reason you're here. (Unless you're really into the pool with a view, and I'm starting to doubt if they actually have one.)
- Available in all rooms, Additional toilet, Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens: Quite a list! Sounds promising. But let's be real: are the beds comfortable? Is the shower hot? Is the Wi-Fi actually usable? These are the questions.
My take?
Jabrix Hotel Mitra RedDoorz sounds like a decent, budget-friendly option in Bandung. I think, the key is to manage expectations and be realistic. The "Best Kept Secret" hype? Probably a bit much. But if you're looking for a clean, functional, and relatively inexpensive place to lay your head, it might just do the trick.

As a practical traveler with basic necessities. This hotel caters to people who don't need the best services.

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because here's my utterly chaotic, potentially disastrous, and hopefully hilarious itinerary for a weekend at the Jabrix Hotel Mitra RedDoorz in Bandung, Indonesia. Prepare for a journey that’s less "smooth sailing" and more "drunk-texted navigation."
Friday: Arrival and the Quest for Reliable Nasi Goreng (and Wi-Fi!)
- 15:00 - Arrival in Bandung (or thereabouts). Flights? Trains? Don't even ask. I'm still recovering from the pre-departure existential dread. The journey to the Jabrix Hotel? Pray for my survival. Taxis in Bandung are a wild ride, I swear. The drivers always seem in a hurry, even when there's absolutely no traffic.
- 15:30 - Check-in and room inspection. Okay, deep breath. Let's see what kind of surprise awaits us. I really hope the room has reliable AC because the Bandung heat is brutal. The room is tiny, but at least the bed is comfy, I guess. Gotta test the bed by trying to flop like a fish on it.
- 16:00 - The Wi-Fi Saga Begins. Armed with laptop and a desperate need to update the world with my incredible travel log, I commence the sacred mission of finding Wi-Fi that can survive a Google search. Wish me luck.
- 17:00 - The Nasi Goreng Hunt. Ah yes, the most important mission. I need a plate of that magical fried rice. I'm famished. I've heard tales of a street vendor down the street who makes the most amazing Nasi Goreng with extra sambal. I swear, if I can find this vendor and his glorious creation, my weekend will be made.
- 18:00 - Dinner (hopefully involving Nasi Goreng). Okay, the Nasi Goreng was… acceptable. The sambal was an utter delight, though! I feel like my taste buds are doing a happy dance. But the Wi-Fi is still a flaky mess.
- 19:00 - Post-Dinner Ramblings and Initial Hotel Thoughts. I'm sitting here, sprawled on the bed, trying to connect the Wi-Fi to the laptop, whilst also trying to finish the last bits of the Nasi Goreng so that the sambal doesn't sit on the plate for too long. I really hope tomorrow's better because right now, I'm feeling like I should have brought a book with me.
- 20:00 - Early night. I'm turning in early, because it's hot, the Wi-Fi is giving me the blues, and I'm already mentally preparing for how to get to the nearest warung for breakfast.
Saturday: A Dive into Bandung's Soul (and Possibly a Lost Wallet)
- 07:00 - Rise and Shine (or more accurately, "groan and squint"). Breakfast. This is where the real adventure begins, and by adventure, I mean frantically searching for a decent cup of coffee and a place that serves something other than just rice and eggs.
- 08:00 - Breakfast Quest and Local Exploration. Found a tiny warung down the street that serves (drumroll) nasi uduk, Indonesian coconut rice. Delicious! This is the real deal! So, armed with a full belly, I venture out.
- 09:00 - Searching for the Street Art. After breakfast, I'm thinking about all the street art and murals in Bandung. I've heard that Bandung has so much vibrant street art! So, I start wandering around looking for the best work I can find.
- 10:00 - Lost in Translation (and possibly lost altogether). Okay, I'm officially lost. Armed with a map app, I'm pretty sure I'm going in circles. Also, did I leave my wallet in the warung? Panic Sets In.
- 11:00 - Coffee and Contemplation at a Local Cafe. Okay, I'm not going to panic, I will breathe and think about other things. Maybe I'll try to find a cute cafe and enjoy a latte, whilst waiting for my wallet (if it's found) and to enjoy a small break to regroup!
- 12:00 - Lunch (hopefully with more success). I am so hungry and I am going to order anything on the menu. This meal needs something that puts me back on track!
- 13:00 - Back to the Street Art Hunt (Take Two). After lunch, and after calming down, time for Round Two. I need to embrace the chaos and laugh at myself more, and maybe my navigation skills will magically improve.
- 15:00 - The Tangkuban Perahu Debacle (Optional). I'm extremely tempted to go, but I'm not sure I'm up to the traffic. I mean, the crater, the steam, the views… it all sounds amazing, but it's either this, or the spa.
- 16:00 - The Spa Experience & Relaxation (fingers crossed). The spa? I need this. This is not a request, it's necessity. They better have amazing massages and the most relaxing environment possible.
- 18:00 - Dinner & Cultural Show. Dinner and a traditional dance performance, maybe? Or maybe just a giant plate of sate and a beer. Decisions, decisions!
- 20:00 - Post-Dinner Reflection & Maybe Some Karaoke. I'm still up for some shenanigans, but karaoke is a big MAYBE. My singing is legendary, but not in a good way.
Sunday: Farewell and Final Thoughts (and the Dreaded Airport Hustle)
- 07:00 - Waking up with a slightly sore body I'm happy I picked up a spa yesterday though!
- 08:00 - Breakfast, Breakfast, Breakfast Okay, I'm gonna try to be healthy, but if I see some fried banana, I'm getting it.
- 09:00 - Last-Minute Souvenir Scramble. Gotta find something to remind me of this crazy weekend, and also for my family.
- 10:00 - Final farewells to the Jabrix Hotel. I'm honestly probably gonna miss the place, even with all the drama. Also, I still need to get a better wifi connection!
- 11:00 - The Airport Dash. Wish me luck getting to the airport on time.
- 12:00 - Goodbye, Bandung! (For now). Time to leave the city, get on the plan, and come back home.
Final Thoughts:
This itinerary is less a plan and more a suggestion. Life (and Indonesian travel) rarely goes according to plan. Embrace the unexpected, laugh at the mishaps, and remember that sometimes, the best memories are made when things go hilariously wrong. As for the Jabrix Hotel? Well, it was… an experience. And in the end, isn't that what travel is all about? Now, where's the sambal?

So, Jabrix Hotel Mitra RedDoorz – What's the Deal, Exactly?
Alright, picture this: you’re in Bandung. You're on a shoestring budget. You need a place to… exist. That, my friends, is where Jabrix struts onto the stage. It's a RedDoorz property, which already gives you a certain *expectation* level (think slightly above a backpacker hostel, but definitely not the Four Seasons). It's known for its… shall we say, 'practical' approach to lodging. Think clean-ish rooms, functional furnishings, and a price that makes you double-take in a good way. That's the gist. Don't expect luxury – expect *adventure*.
Okay, But Is It *Actually* Clean? Because That's, You Know, Important.
Hoo boy. This is where things get… subjective. I'll be brutally honest: *mostly*. I've stayed in places where I was convinced they'd just hosed down the room with a garden hose and called it a day. Jabrix? It's more like they've given it a *good* wipe-down… eventually. The sheets? Usually clean. The bathroom? Well, it depends. I once found a… *thing*… in the corner. Let's just say it wasn't a friendly houseguest. But hey, stuff happens, right? I survived. Just bring some disinfectant wipes, okay? Consider it essential travel gear. Seriously.
The Location: Is It Convenient, Or Do I Need a Helicopter?
It's… *fine*. It's in a pretty central area, which is a huge pro. You're close to the action – shopping, food, maybe even a decent karaoke bar (depending on your definition of "decent"). BUT, Bandung traffic is a beast. So, "convenient" is relative. You'll probably need a Gojek (bike taxi) or a car, especially if you're visiting during peak hours. Walking? Maybe avoid it unless you enjoy battling scooters and inhaling exhaust fumes. My advice? Embrace the chaos. It's part of the adventure.
The Rooms – What Should I Expect? Think I Need to Pack Earplugs?
The rooms… well, they're compact. Picture this: a bed, a TV (probably playing Indonesian soap operas), a small table, and a bathroom that's… cozy. Space is at a premium. Earplugs? HIGHLY recommended. Indonesian nightlife? Let's just say it's *vibrant*. You might hear karaoke, street vendors, or possibly a full-blown philosophical debate between two cats, all at 3 AM. Bring earplugs. Trust me on this one. I once thought a construction crew was working outside my window at 2 am. Nope. Just a particularly passionate rooster.
Is the Wi-Fi Half-Decent, At Least? Because Instagram is Life.
Ah, the Wi-Fi. It's a gamble, honey. Sometimes it's lightning-fast, you can stream Netflix, video call Grandma, and generally feel connected to the world. Other times… it's slower than a sloth going uphill. I once spent an entire day trying to upload a photo. It eventually worked, but not before I developed several new stress-related wrinkles. Just… manage your expectations. Download your maps offline. Embrace the digital detox if you must. Or, you know, find a cafe with better Wi-Fi and mooch off them.
The Staff – Will They Be Friendly, or Will They Just Want My Money?
The staff are generally… pleasant. They're not going to be your best friends, but they'll help you out if you need it. They’re efficient, mostly. I had a minor issue with a broken showerhead once. They fixed it within a few hours. No complaints there. My advice? Be nice, be patient, and learn a few basic Indonesian phrases. A little "terima kasih" (thank you) goes a long way. Also, a small tip never hurts. Treat them well. They put up with a lot.
Food! Is There Breakfast? Is It… Edible?
Breakfast… exists. It's usually pretty basic. Think toast, maybe some questionable eggs, maybe some… *interesting* variations of Indonesian breakfast staples. Let's just say don't book Jabrix for the culinary experience. I once had "breakfast" that was basically a deep-fried mystery meat on a piece of white bread. I’m not sure what it *was*, but it fueled me for a good few hours. My advice: Stock up on snacks. You are also free to go out for street food. Bandung's street food game is strong - that's a big plus.
Okay, Spill the Tea! What's the *Weirdest* Thing That Happened to You There?
Alright, you asked for it. Here's the craziest. I was there for a conference. One night, I’m in my room, exhausted from a day of… networking. Suddenly, I hear the unmistakable sound of… *pigeons*. In. My. Room. I swear on everything. I open the door, and there they are: two fat, fluffy pigeons, casually strutting around in my tiny little room. How did they get in? I still have no idea. I chased them out, of course, feeling like some kind of crazed pigeon wrangler. But the memory? The absurdity? It's burned into my brain forever. It's also the moment I realized that Jabrix Hotel Mitra RedDoorz is less a hotel and more a portal to the surreal.
Would You Recommend It? Really?
Look, it depends. Are you a budget traveler? Do you need a place to crash for a night or two in Bandung? Can you handle a little… *character*? Are you prepared for the occasional pigeon invasion? Then yes. Absolutely. It's a cheap-ish, relatively clean, and centrally located place. But if you’re a luxury-loving princess who requires fluffy towels and turn-down service, *run*. Run far, far away. Jabrix is not for you. But for the rest of us, it's a memorable (and, dare I say, slightly endearing) Bandung experience. Embrace the chaos. You might just have a story or two to tell.
