Springlake's Hidden Gem: City&Angel Studio's WiFi & Stunning Furnishings!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into Springlake's Hidden Gem: City&Angel Studio's WiFi & Stunning Furnishings! This place… well, let's just say it's a journey. Forget perfectly polished travel blogs, this is the REAL DEAL, folks. Let’s go!
First Impressions & Accessibility (or, the Great Elevator Adventure)
Finding City&Angel Studio feels like stumbling upon a secret handshake. It’s hidden, alright. But hey, that adds to the charm, right? The first thing I noticed was… the elevator. Or rather, the potential for an elevator. It looked accessible, boasting a pretty decent sized door. But let's just say my initial assessment of the elevator was, "well, at least it's there…maybe?" I didn't actually use it myself, but the idea that it could work for someone with mobility issues is, at least, encouraging, which is more than I can say for some places. Fingers crossed its functioning, and actually accessible! A quick check reveals this place does indeed have "Elevator"! Score!
- Accessibility Score: 7/10 (for the potential and the attempt…plus, no one wants a hotel that actively discourages accessibility, right?)
- Wheelchair Accessible: I can't say definitively, but the potential is there. Call ahead and confirm, folks!
WiFi, Bless Its Pixelated Heart!
Okay, let's cut to the chase: FREE WIFI in all rooms! And, praise the internet gods, it's actually usable. Now, I've stayed in hotels where the WiFi makes dial-up look like a fiber optic upgrade, so this was a MAJOR selling point for me. Plus, Wi-Fi is even available in public areas! I could actually upload Instagram stories, make video calls, and (shhh!) maybe, just maybe, get some work done. Internet access is key in this day and age, so this is a major win. Internet [LAN] is also there, for the true old schoolers.
- Internet Access: A+ for both speed and reliability. My productivity soared (or at least, didn't completely tank).
Cleanliness & Safety (Because 2024, Am I Right?)
Alright, let's talk about the elephant (or perhaps the microscopic virus) in the room: cleanliness. City&Angel Studio gets it. They have a whole host of measures in place, including Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Rooms sanitized between stays, and staff trained in safety protocol. They aren't messing around. They offer Room sanitization opt-out available which is cool for me, because I'm a bit of a germaphobe. There's Hand sanitizer everywhere, so no excuses! They even have Sterilizing equipment! A+, City&Angel, A+!
- Cleanliness Score: 10/10. Seriously, I felt safer here than I do at my own house sometimes.
Rooms, Glorious Rooms! (And a Mini-Bar That Tempts)
Okay, the rooms are where City&Angel Studio shines. And trust me when I say "shines!" They live up to their name with "Stunning Furnishings". I had a room with a view, and it was a view!. The room itself was a haven of comfort. Air conditioning kept things breezy, the blackout curtains were perfect for sleeping in (a MUST!), the complimentary tea selection, and the Free bottled water were a nice touch. The mini-bar (and yes, I peeked, it’s tempting) was well-stocked and didn't break the bank. My bed, let me tell you, was the kind you melt into. Extra long bed? Yes, please! And bonus points for the Socket near the bed – because, let's be honest, where else are you going to charge your phone? There were even slippers! What a touch!
- Room Vibes: 10/10. Cozy, stylish, and I actually got some real sleep.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (Because, Food!)
This is where things get interesting. City&Angel Studio features a whole host of dining options. There's a Breakfast [buffet], a Coffee shop, and Restaurants. I am a foodie so I have to emphasize the Asian cuisine in restaurant, the International cuisine in restaurant, the Vegetarian restaurant! Bonus points for the Poolside bar! Oh, and 24/7 Room service (again, a lifesaver)
My experience? I opted for the breakfast buffet, and it was pretty good. The fresh fruit seemed to go the fastest, however. The Coffee/tea in restaurant was excellent, which is always a plus.
- Foodie Factor: 8/10. Nothing groundbreaking, but solid and satisfying.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax (Spa Day, Anyone?)
Okay, let's talk about the spa and wellness options because I'm kind of obsessed with them! City&Angel Studio has a Spa, a Gym/fitness center, a Swimming pool [outdoor], and a Sauna. They also have a Body scrub, a Body wrap, and they provide massage! I didn't get to try everything, but the gym was well-equipped.
- Relaxation Rating: 9/10. They've got you covered for a good pampering session or a solid workout.
Services and Conveniences (Because Life is Easier When Someone Else Does the Laundry)
City&Angel Studio caters to EVERYONE! This place has got you covered when it comes to services. There is Air conditioning in public area, Concierge, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, and Elevator, which is good for you, if it's working. Other services include Facilities for disabled guests, gift/souvenir shop, Ironing service, and Laundry service. Plus, there's luggage storage. The level of detail is impressive!
- Convenience Score: 10/10. They've thought of everything.
For the Kids and More (because, life with kids!)
Babysitting service?????? Game changer! There are also Family/child friendly facilities.
- Family Score: 9/10. They've got the goods for everyone!
Getting Around (because, taxis!)
There is Airport transfer, Car park [free of charge], Taxi service and Valet parking.
- Travel Score: 10/10. Convenient!
Overall Impression & The "Book Now!" Plea
City&Angel Studio is more than just a hotel; it's an experience.

Verdun's Hidden Gem: Ibis Budget Hotel Review (You Won't Believe This!)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the chaotic beauty of a trip to The City&Angel Studio WiFi MDN Furnish in Springlake, Indonesia. This isn't your meticulously curated Instagram story, honey. This is the real, sweaty, mosquito-bitten, absolutely glorious mess of travel planning.
Travel Itinerary: Springlake Showdown (Tentative & Subject to Wobbly Knees & Impulse Buys)
Day 1: Arrival & Jet Lagged Judgements
- 8:00 AM (Give or take… seriously, I'm ALWAYS late): Arrive at Jakarta Soekatno-Hatta International Airport (CGK). Oh. My. God. The sheer volume of people, the echoing announcements… it already feels like sensory overload. Good luck finding my luggage in this chaos! Praying to the travel gods that my bag makes it. (It probably won’t, knowing my luck.) And the humidity… it's like stepping into a warm, wet blanket. Am I going to sweat through my entire wardrobe immediately?
- 9:00 AM (ish - see previous note): Officially on Indonesian soil! This realization hits me like a wave. I'm here. It's real. Okay, deep breaths. Find the little shuttle provided by the hotel.
- 11:00 AM: Arrive at The City&Angel Studio WiFi MDN Furnish. "Furnish" – haha, that's a word! Reception is… well, it’s “rustic charm” meets a slightly-too-enthusiastic-about-their-job receptionist. The room? Cute. The WiFi? Pray for me, because as a digital nomad I live off the internet and I hope it works! I immediately throw myself onto the bed. Jet lag has officially taken up residence.
- 1:00 PM: Attempt to order room service. The menu's in Bahasa Indonesia. My grasp of Indonesian consists of "terima kasih" (thank you) and a vague sense of how to order a Bintang (beer). Disaster. I order something based on a picture. Who knows what I’m getting? Fingers crossed it's not a plate of something that smells like the inside of a gym sock.
- 3:00 PM: Forced a nap. Woke up. Felt worse. Stared intensely at the ceiling. The humidity's gotten worse. Contemplating if I can survive in one room for the foreseeable future.
- 4:00 PM: Venture out in search of caffeine and a semblance of civilization. This is where I hope the studio's "WiFi" actually works. Also, a map would be helpful. Oh dear the map on my phone is not working. Why.
- 6:00 PM: Found a cute little warung (small, often family-run restaurant) down the street. My first Indonesian meal! It's so, so good. I ordered something… I think it was nasi goreng (fried rice)? The language barrier is a beautiful hurdle. I end up trying to describe what I want using hand gestures. The cook looks amused (probably at my flailing). It's perfect.
- 7:00 PM: Stagger back to the hotel. Jet lag is winning. I'm convinced my brain is now a bowl of mush.
- 8:00 PM: Fall asleep, fully clothed, with one hand clutching my phone and the other… who knows, the mosquito net? I forgot to bring insect repellent!
Day 2: Springlake Adventures & Emotional Rollercoasters
- 8:00 AM (Maybe?): Wake up slightly less like a zombie. Sun's shining! Is it actually shining?
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast! It's a buffet! Is this even good? I may eat toast. I had toast.
- 10:00 AM: Okay, time for the "Springlake" part of the trip. I'm going to make friends! I mean hopefully…
- 11:00 AM: Attempt to explore the local area. I need to get some fresh air, maybe I will stumble across a beach?
- 12:00 PM: Oh wait, it's lunch time! Need food at the time.
- 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM: The most ridiculous adventure. I end up at a place I found on Instagram - it's a hidden gem where you can rent a kayak. OMG! I'm going to kayak! I didn't realize this wasn't a real lake… It appears to be a mangrove swamp. The water is murky and smells like something… fishy. I start to feel incredibly awkward. My kayak partner wasn't exactly keen. We barely spoke because of some social anxiety. The sun beats down. But I push through it. I feel like a pioneer!
- 6:00 PM: Finally, manage to get back. I'm sunburnt, covered in… something… and exhausted. But I feel alive. I feel like I have really, finally, started to live! The weirdest adventure ever, but also the most perfect.
- 7:00 PM: I eat all the food. Even more of the food.
- 8:00 PM: Try to plan tomorrow's episode. Too tired, I simply sleep.
Day 3: Culture Shock and Sweet Surprises
- 9:00 AM: (ish): Another late start. I'm embracing the chaos.
- 10:00 AM: I decide to hit the market! I hope I don't get completely ripped off! The sights, the smells, the sounds… it's a symphony of sensory overload. The colors are vibrant. The fruit is so incredibly cheap. I buy a mango. It's sweet, messy, and the best damn mango I've ever tasted.
- 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM: Explore the city.
- 3:00 PM: Head back to the hotel!
- 4:00 PM: A sudden, unexpected downpour. The sky opens up and the rain comes down in sheets of water.
- 5:00 PM: I hide out at the hotel. The rain starts to ease. The air smells fresh and clean. A little street cat found me! It's adorable! I secretly name it.
- 6:00 PM: Start packing. It's all going to be over!
- 7:00 PM: Dinner.
- 8:00 PM: I decide one last look at this amazing trip.
Day 4: Departure & Contemplations
- 8:00 AM (Again, probably late): Final breakfast.
- 9:00 AM: Check out. Say a reluctant goodbye to my room.
- 10:00 AM: Taxi to the airport. Traffic is a nightmare. I’m pretty sure the driver is using the horn as a primary form of communication.
- 12:00 PM: At the airport. Waiting to board, fighting back tears.
- 1:00 AM: Take off from Jakarta!
This itinerary is just a roadmap. It's the skeleton of my real-life, messy, human-sized experience. Embrace the unexpected, the detours, the mishaps. Don’t be afraid to get lost, to say "yes" to things that scare you, to taste everything, and to let your heart break a little (and then mend itself with a mango and a Bintang). This trip will be better than planned.

City&Angel Studio's Hidden Gem: Wifi, Furnishings... and Maybe My Sanity? FAQs!
Okay, Seriously... How Good is the WiFi? Because I Need It. Like, NEED It.
Alright, let's cut the fluff. The WiFi at City&Angel? It's... mostly good. Emphasis on "mostly." Look, I've streamed entire seasons of bad reality TV while working from there, so yeah, it's reliable enough for actual work. But… and this is a big BUT… don't try downloading a mountain of raw video files during peak hours. You'll be staring at a spinning wheel of death and cursing your decision to freelance in the first place.
One time, I was in the middle of a super important video call about a project that could literally save the world (okay, maybe just my bank account), and the WiFi hiccuped. Mid-sentence! I swear, my boss’s face froze mid-“What was that?” It was like a movie glitch! Mortifying. I scrambled for my phone hotspot, which promptly decided to be a total drama queen. Eventually, it worked, but the anxiety was real. So, bring a backup plan. Just in case. And maybe a Xanax (kidding… mostly).
Those Furnishings Though... Are They Actually Comfortable? Because "Instagrammable" Doesn't Always Equal "Cozy."
The furnishings… oh, the furnishings! They’re gorgeous. Like, magazine-worthy gorgeous. Think plush velvet sofas, quirky artwork, and enough strategically placed throw pillows to stage a pillow fight for the ages. Are they comfortable? Yes! Mostly. The couch in the main room is a straight-up dream. I've spent hours there, slumped in a blissful haze of caffeine and creative burnout, basically existing in a permanent state of semi-conscious contentment.
However… and this is where the imperfections creep in… some of the chairs? *cough* The ones that look like they’re designed for models with perfect posture? Not so much. I once tried to work from one for a day and ended up with a crick in my neck that lasted a week. So, choose wisely. And maybe bring a lumbar support pillow if you're prone to slumping like a sad croissant. Otherwise, it's a win, really, a beautiful, inspiring working space. And don't tell anyone, but I've totally taken a sneaky nap on that aforementioned couch.
What's the vibe like? Is it all pretentious creatives, or can a regular person like me actually fit in? (Asking for a friend... it's me.)
The vibe? It's generally… pretty good, actually. Look, I'm not going to lie, you *might* encounter the occasional person with an overly elaborate scarf and a portfolio full of abstract art. But honestly? They're usually pretty harmless. Most people are just there to work, be inspired, and maybe grab a really good coffee from the cafe next door (highly recommended, btw!).
I've seen everything from freelancers hunched over laptops, students furiously taking notes, and even the occasional group of friends brainstorming a startup. (I secretly eavesdrop on them, hoping to steal some good ideas). It's not a super-exclusive club; it’s more like a… well, a really stylish co-working space with amazing furniture. And the staff? Actually super friendly. They don't look down on you if you spill coffee on the velvet cushions. (Yes, that's happened. Don't judge.)
Parking? Because, let's be real, parking is the bane of my existence.
Okay, parking. Here's the truth, straight up: It can be a pain. Springlake in general is notorious for it (I swear, entire afternoons have vanished looking for a space). City&Angel doesn't have its own designated parking lot, which is a bummer. You’re pretty much reliant on street parking, which is a mix of metered spaces, residential areas, and the eternal hunt for a free spot.
My advice? Get there early. Like, *really* early. Before the masses descend. Or, if you’re feeling brave, try parking a few blocks away and walking. It builds character (and gives you a chance to grab a pastry, which, let's be honest, is always a good thing). Or, better yet, if you can, Uber or take public transport. Less stress, more time spent actually working (or pretending to, while secretly people-watching).
Is it noisy? Because I need SILENCE. Or at least, not a constant barrage of construction noises.
Noise levels vary. City&Angel is located in a pretty lively area, so you're not going to get library-level silence. You'll hear some background noise, the gentle hum of life - conversations, sometimes the clatter of dishes from the cafe, and the occasional passing car. The studio itself is well insulated, so it's usually not too bad. But… there are days.
One time, there was some construction going on across the street. Drilling, hammering… the whole cacophony. It was torture. I honestly considered wearing noise-canceling headphones AND earplugs just to get through the day. So, if you're super sensitive to noise, maybe bring your own personal soundproof bubble. Or, you know, embrace the chaos. Sometimes, a little background noise can be strangely comforting, like a fuzzy blanket for your ears.
The Bathroom Situation? I'm a creature of habit. And I need to know.
Okay, let's talk about the bathrooms. Because, let's be real, a good (or bad) bathroom experience can make or break your day. The bathrooms at City&Angel are… fine. They're clean. They're functional. They have soap and paper towels. No complaints there.
But… and this is important… remember that whole thing about needing to be prepared for anything? Bring your own brand of preferred hand soap. You'll thank me later. And the lighting in there isn’t the greatest either. So, if you're trying to do some serious makeup touch-ups… well, good luck. It's adequate; it's what you expect to encounter in a well-maintained public space. Not fancy, not terrible. Passable. Do your business, wash your hands, and move on with your glorious work-filled day.
Food and Drink? Can I eat there? Is there a fridge? I Live on Snacks.
Food and drink situation? Essential. City&Angel is generally accommodating, but it's not aBook a Stay
