Our staycation for this month was a little different and further, although it was still in the greater Jakarta area. We got to travel further, up to Cisarua, Puncak, Bogor, West Java. It took one and a half hours to get there, and luckily the road was not as busy, as we went during the weekdays. We were also quite lucky to not experience the cops’ raids: they have been randomly stopping and asking people to show the rapid test or PCR test result before entering Bogor, as a proof that they are not infected by COVID19, otherwise they are not allowed to enter.
Staycation kami bulan ini sedikit berbeda dan lebih jauh, walaupun masih di wilayah Jabodetabek. Kami melakukan perjalanan lebih jauh ke atas ke Cisarua, Puncak, Bogor, Jawa Barat. Butuh satu setengah jam untuk sampai ke sana, dan untungnya jalannya tidak sesibuk biasanya, kami pergi pada hari kerja. Kami juga cukup beruntung tidak mengalami razia polisi: mereka secara acak memberhentikan dan meminta masyarakat untuk menunjukkan hasil rapid test atau test PCR sebelum masuk Bogor, sebagai bukti bahwa mereka tidak terinfeksi COVID19, jika tidak mereka tidak diperbolehkan masuk.
We spent a few hours in Taman Safari, then we traveled around 15 minutes to get to our hotel, The Grand Hill. We were exhausted, but so content! Everybody seemed to enjoy our little escape from Jakarta.
Kami menghabiskan beberapa jam di Taman Safari, kemudian kami melakukan perjalanan sekitar 15 menit untuk sampai ke hotel kami, The Grand Hill. Kami kelelahan, tapi sangat puas! Semuanya sepertinya menikmati pelarian kecil kami dari Jakarta.

1. The Room:
Layout and Interior: 4/5 - 75 m²/ 807 ft². In love with the huge balcony facing to the hills full of trees and the mountain river. The furniture was all made of wood: they don’t look fancy, but aesthetically beautiful.
The View: 4.5/5 - Our room was in the corner of the building, so we got 2 different views. Both views were breathtaking! It was good to be closer to the mountain and staying on the hills once in a while. So fresh!
1. Ruangan:
Tata ruang dan bagian dalamnya: 4/5 - 75 m²/ 807 ft². Jatuh cinta dengan balkon besar yang menghadap ke perbukitan penuh pepohonan dan sungai pegunungan. Perabotannya semuanya terbuat dari kayu: tidak terlihat mewah, tapi indah secara estetika.
Pemandangannya: 4.5/5 - Kamar kami berada di sudut gedung, jadi kami mendapat 2 pemandangan berbeda. Kedua pemandangannya mempesona! Senang rasanya bisa lebih dekat ke gunung dan menginap di bukit sesekali. Sangat segar!
Bathroom: 4/5 - The double sink always gives a brownie point. The bathtub was not big enough for daddy’s taste, but it was quite nice. We could also hear the river outside the bathroom window. So refreshing! The shower, however, was not our favorite: the hot and cold water were unpredictable, and it somehow kept changing its self from hot to super hot and back to cold.
Kamar Mandi: 4/5 - Wastafel ganda selalu memberikan poin brownies. Bak mandi tidak cukup besar untuk selera daddy, tapi cukup bagus. Kami juga bisa mendengar suara sungai di luar jendela kamar mandi. Sangat menyegarkan! Kamar mandinya, bagaimanapun, bukanlah favorit kami: air panas dan dingin tidak dapat diprediksi, dan entah bagaimana terus berubah dari panas menjadi super panas dan kembali ke dingin.
Toiletries: 3.5/5 - I forgot to take a good picture of the toiletries. Huffh! I thought I did. Anyway, they were okay. Nothing special, but at least they provided most of what we needed, apart from the cotton buds.
Perlengkapan Mandi: 3.5/5 - Saya lupa mengambil foto perlengkapan mandi yang bagus. Huffh! Saya pikir saya melakukannya. Bagaimanapun, mereka oke-oke saja. Tidak ada yang istimewa, tetapi setidaknya mereka menyediakan sebagian besar dari apa yang kami butuhkan, selain dari korek telinga.
Room Service: 4/5 - The quality of the in-room dining was good. Our food was covered by cling film, which shows they care about hygiene. The only problem was they only received cash for the payment. During the pandemic, we actually avoided touching money, therefore that was a little bit uncomfortable for us.
Servis Kamar: 4/5 - Kualitas makan di dalam kamar bagus. Makanan kami ditutupi oleh cling film, yang menunjukkan bahwa mereka peduli dengan kebersihan. Satu-satunya masalah adalah mereka hanya menerima uang tunai untuk pembayaran. Selama pandemi, kami sebenarnya menghindari menyentuh uang, oleh karena itu, itu sedikit tidak nyaman bagi kami.
2. Amenities:
Breakfast: 3.5/5 - The breakfast menu was a little bit limited. They only have one menu in the Western menu which was American Breakfast, the rest were in Indonesian menu, 4 different types of nasi goreng, and some noodles options. A fruit platter was included, as well as the drinks. We both chose orange juice and guava juice two days in a row.
Swimming Pool: 4/5 - The infinity pool was good: it was facing down the river and the trees. The pool water was freezing though!
Outdoor Playground: 4/5 - It’s located on the 6th floor (the highest floor) which was same floor as our hotel room, and it was in front of the restaurant. Izzy and her cousins really enjoyed the slides.
2. Fasilitas:
Sarapan Pagi: 4/5 - Menu sarapan agak terbatas. Mereka hanya memiliki satu menu di menu Western yaitu American Breakfast, sisanya dalam menu Indonesia, 4 jenis nasi goreng, dan beberapa pilihan mie. Sepiring buah sudah termasuk, serta minuman. Kami berdua memilih jus jeruk dan jus jambu biji dua hari berturut-turut.
Kolam Renang: 4/5 - Kolam renang tanpa batas bagus: menghadap ke sungai dan pepohonan. Air kolam sangat dingin!
Taman Bermain Luar Ruangan: 4/5 - Itu terletak di lantai 6 (lantai tertinggi) yang merupakan lantai yang sama dengan kamar hotel kami, dan itu di depan restoran. Izzy dan sepupunya sangat menikmati slide tersebut.
3. Location: 4/5 - It was around 15 minutes to get there from Taman Safari Indonesia. It’s located on the hills facing the mountain. I noticed there were local, public transportations that passed by the road in front of the hotel. It’s also not far from a tea plantation. Sadly we did not get the chance to experince it.
4. Overall service: 4.5/5 - They were all very polite. They all wore masks too.
5. Value: 4.5/5 - For two nights on the side of the mountain, it was pretty good value. We had the largest room and the best views available. The service was good, and everything went well. We had no real complaints about anything really.
3. Lokasi: 4/5 - Butuh sekitar 15 menit untuk sampai ke sana dari Taman Safari Indonesia. Terletak di perbukitan yang menghadap ke gunung. Saya perhatikan ada angkutan umum lokal yang melewati jalan di depan hotel. Itu juga tidak jauh dari perkebunan teh. Sayangnya kami tidak mendapatkan kesempatan untuk mengalaminya.
4. Servis Secara Keseluruhan: 4.5/5 - Mereka semua sangat sopan. Mereka semua juga memakai masker.
5. Harga: 4.5/5 - Selama dua malam di sisi gunung, itu adalah nilai yang cukup bagus. Kami memiliki kamar terbesar dan pemandangan terbaik yang tersedia. Pelayanannya bagus, dan semuanya berjalan dengan baik. Kami benar-benar tidak memiliki keluhan tentang apa pun.
It was a good experience and definitely a sweet escape for our family. Although that reminds me of the hair dryer that they provided in our room, it was the slowest hair dryer I’ve ever used. It was basically almost useless. Luckily we could dry our hair with the wind that blew in the balcony. Ha! Other than that, we really enjoyed our staycation with the Grand Hill hotel. So relaxing!
Itu adalah pengalaman yang baik dan jelas merupakan pelarian yang manis bagi keluarga kami. Meskipun itu mengingatkan saya pada pengering rambut yang mereka sediakan di kamar kami, itu adalah pengering rambut paling lambat yang pernah saya gunakan. Itu pada dasarnya hampir tidak berguna. Untungnya kami bisa mengeringkan rambut kami dengan angin yang bertiup di balkon. Ha! Selain itu, kami sangat menikmati staycation kami di hotel The Grand Hill. Rasanya sangat santai!
