Tangerang's Hidden Gem: September House 93529 - Unbelievable!
Tangerang's Hidden Gem: September House 93529 - Unbelievable! (Seriously, Is It?) - A Review That’s Actually Honest
Okay, folks, let's be real. Finding a decent hotel in Tangerang can feel like… well, finding a decent anything in Tangerang sometimes. But I’ve just stumbled out of September House 93529 – and I'm here to tell you, it’s… something. "Unbelievable," they call it. We'll see about that. I'm always skeptical.
Accessibility: Navigating the Labyrinth (Or, Can You Actually Get Around?)
Right, first things first: Accessibility. This is where things got a little… interesting. The elevator? Thank god for it, especially after a long day of dodging motorbikes. Now, the wording on their website is vague, and the descriptions are just "Facilities for disabled guests." My take is that there is room for improvement here. Perhaps better clarification on accessibility, like the size of the room that is wheelchair accessible.
The Internet Situation: Wi-Fi Warriors, Assemble!
Okay, good news and… okay news. They scream "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" And they are mostly accurate. Yay! Also, the "Internet access – wireless" which seemed pretty stable. But "Internet access – LAN"? I felt like I was transported to the early 2000s. Let's be honest, who uses LAN cables anymore? Still, the Wi-Fi in public areas was pretty solid. I'm a blogger, so connection is key!
Things to Do (and Ways to Pretend You're Actually Relaxing)
This is where September House slightly redeemed itself.
Swimming pool: Okay, it was a pool. It's outdoors, which is a plus. But I wouldn't call it a "pool with a view." It's a pool with… other buildings.
Spa/Sauna & Spa: Now this is where it got interesting. I decided to treat myself. The Body scrub was… well, it was a scrub. A necessary evil. The Body wrap, though? That was surprisingly relaxing. And the Sauna, oh man, the sauna. I'm a sucker for those. Great for a quick detox after eating all the street food (which you should definitely do, by the way). They also advertise a Foot bath, which I didn't try because I was too busy sweating in the sauna, and the Massage was great, but not life-changing.
Fitness center/Gym: I peeked in. Looked… functional. I value my relaxation time and this didn't look exciting.
Cleanliness and Safety: Did They Actually Sanitize?
Look. I'm a germaphobe. I admit it! So, I was relieved to see the Anti-viral cleaning products usage. But, it was also nice to read that they do Room sanitization between stays and have Daily disinfection in common areas. Plus I thought the Hand sanitizer stations were pretty ubiquitous.
- Rooms Sanitized Between Stays: Good. Essential.
- Daily Disinfection in Common Areas: Again, good.
- Hand Sanitizer: Everywhere. A comforting sight.
- Staff Trained in Safety Protocol: Definitely saw them following guidelines.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Adventure (or just stuffing your face)
Now, this is where September House really surprised me. I'm a foodie, and I went in with low expectations.
- Restaurants: There are restaurants! plural!
- Breakfast [buffet]- Asian and Western, and a wide variety of choices, which is what I expected.
- Coffee Shop - Okay, for the coffee itself. I think I got three cups a day!
- Poolside bar: Pretty standard, but perfect for sundowners.
- Asian/International Cuisine: Surprisingly decent.
- Room service [24-hour]: Because, let's be honest, sometimes you just need noodles at 3 AM.
Services and Conveniences: The Perks (and the not-so-perks)
- Business facilities: I didn't use any, but they had them.
- Cash withdrawal: Convenient if you need it.
- Concierge: Helpful.
- Convenience store: Handy for late-night snacks.
- Dry cleaning/Ironing Service: Useful.
- Elevator: Essential.
- Facilities for disabled guests: The devil is in the details and I'd check for specifics.
- Food delivery: Good option if you're feeling lazy.
- Laundry service: A lifesaver after trekking around a city like Tangerang.
For the Kids (Because Everyone Matters!)
I didn't have any kids with me, so I didn't test this out, but they did have Babysitting service options.
And Now For The Rooms…
This is what convinced me. The rooms are pretty well-equipped.
- Air conditioning: A necessity.
- Bathroom phone: I don't know why I would use it, but okay.
- Blackout curtains: A blessing for sleep.
- Coffee/tea maker: Yes!
- Free bottled water: Crucial.
- Mini bar: Tempting.
- Non-smoking: Thank god, I can't stand the smell.
- TV/satellite: Adequate.
- Wi-Fi [free]: Good.
- Wake-up service: Nice.
The Quirks, Imperfections, and Random Thoughts
- The Staff: The staff were awesome! They were always friendly, helpful, and generally made the experience a lot better. They also spoke very good English.
- The Location: It's not exactly in the heart of the action, but close enough to everything! A little further on the touristy spots.
- The Vibe: It’s not a super-modern, stylish hotel. It's more comfortable.

Luxury Getaway: Comfort Inn Sapphire Chandkheda, Ahmedabad Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, ‘cause this ain't your average, sterile travel itinerary. We're heading to Capital O 93529 September House in Tangerang, Indonesia, and let’s just say… I’m expecting a chaotic masterpiece. And you know what? Bring it on.
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Tangerang Tango (Or, "Where Did My Luggage Go?!")
- Morning (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM): Ugh, the airport. My nemesis. That cramped, fluorescent-lit purgatory. Flight's thankfully mostly on time. Except, wait a minute… is that my suitcase doing a disappearing act on the baggage carousel? Cue dramatic music and frantic hand-waving. Okay, deep breaths. Let's report this. This is gonna be fun, I can feel it.
- Late Morning/Early Afternoon (9:00 AM - 2:00 PM): Okay, baggage claim issues aside. We’re getting picked up around the airport, and the ride to September House should be… scenic? I’ve heard stories. Rumour has it, traffic in Tangerang can make you question your life choices. Prepare emotional roller coaster for the next 2 hours.
- Early Afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Finally! We make it to September House. The google photos made the place look a bit, well, charming. Maybe even a touch rustic. Now, I’m not a hotel snob, but the reception looks less "boutique" and more "slightly dishevelled." Okay, I like it. I like the vibe. I checked in, finally the key, finally the room!
- Late Afternoon (4:00 PM - 7:00 PM): Luggage? Still MIA. Cue the internal monologue of existential angst. But hey, I gotta eat, right? I'm starving. I'm talking hanger levels of starving. So, a quick Google search reveals… something. We explore the local area for a quick bite. After a bit of wandering, I find a little warung (small local eatery) that's bustling. The smell of spices is incredible. I order something… I'm not entirely sure what. But the locals are all smiles and nodding encouragingly, so fingers crossed it's edible. Wish me luck.
- Evening Night (7:00 PM - 10:00 PM): Dinner was… an experience. The spice level? Let's just say my taste buds are currently staging a rebellion. We'll take one for the team. We take a stroll in the evening to Tangerang city, and take in the sights. My phone dies. I'm in a country I've never been to, with no phone, and the food I just eat still messing with my stomach. I can't say I'm not living.
Day 2: The Tangerang Treasure Hunt (Or, "Is This a Fever Dream?!")
- Morning (7:00 AM - 10:00 AM): Woke up in the morning and I’m still alive. The early morning light is gorgeous, though. Breakfast at the hotel. Is it… an acquired taste? I’m going to assume it is. Time to go, treasure hunting time.
- Late Morning/Early Afternoon (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM): Today's mission: Attempt to find some local sights. I've got a vague desire to see something vaguely cultural, and more importantly, to get away from the hotel's breakfast. I start with exploring the local marketplaces. Honestly? Overwhelming, in the best way possible. The smells, the sounds, the sheer cacophony of everything is intoxicating. Lost in the chaotic beauty.
- Mid Afternoon (2:00 PM - 5:00 PM): We head towards a museum. Which is, let's be honest, pretty meh. More interesting is the journey. I get lost. Again. But, hey, I meet this amazing old woman selling flowers, who gives me directions and tells me to "enjoy life!" It’s the little moments like this that make travel worth it, even when I'm hopelessly lost.
- Late Afternoon/Early Evening (5:00 PM - 8:00 PM): I discover that I can barely speak the language and now I can't find any wifi. Dinner. No idea what to eat again. Well, let's try again.
Day 3: Farewell (Or, "Did I Even Shower?")
- Morning (7:00 AM - 10:00 AM): Ah, the morning after. Well, not really the morning after, since you spend half the day already. Breakfast. I won't tell you about it.
- Late Morning/Early Afternoon (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM): Check out. Do some last-minute shopping and then head to the airport.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Airport. Again. Sigh. The cycle of life.
- Afternoon (4:00 PM – Until): Boarding flight. Head to where I came from.
Final Thoughts:
So, Tangerang. It was… an experience. Messy, chaotic, smelly, delicious, and absolutely unforgettable. My luggage? Still missing, probably living its best life. The food? An adventure, literally. The people? Truly, wonderfully friendly. Capital O 93529 September House? A place to crash. Would I go back? Absolutely. Because sometimes, the best travel stories are the ones that don't go according to plan. And hey, next time, maybe I'll remember to pack some emergency snacks. Just in case.

So, what's the deal with September House 93529 anyway? Is it actually a "hidden gem"?
Okay, okay, buckle up, because this place... September House, right? 93529? "Unbelievable!" Yep, they're putting it on the tin. And honestly? It's *mostly* believable. It depends on what you expect. If you're picturing some perfectly curated Instagram experience, probably no. If you're looking for something... *real*? Something with a pulse? Then yeah, maybe. It's definitely not like those cookie-cutter cafes that all look the same. It’s got…character. And that character can sometimes be a little… eccentric.
Right, "character." What kind of character are we talking? Is it... good character?
*Sigh* Look, it’s complicated. The *vibe*... it's definitely got a vintage, almost slightly… unkempt, feel. Imagine your cool aunt's house, the one with the mismatched furniture and the quirky art, but… everything smells faintly of coffee and patchouli. The good news is, it's not trying *too* hard to be trendy. It's just… there. And you know what? Sometimes, that's a massive relief. I went once and the AC was blasting a little too hard, so I shivered the whole time, but the music was good and the cake was even better, so it was a win in my book! Don't expect perfection, expect… something different.
Okay, enough with the abstract descriptions. What kind of food/drinks do they have? Is it even good?
Alright, alright, the food. This is where September House really shines, in my opinion. Forget the generic cafe fare - they have *actual* creativity in the kitchen. I remember one time, they had this black sesame latte that literally changed my life! Okay, maybe not *literally*, but it was ridiculously good. The cake? Forget about it. Seriously. You could have the worst day, walk into September House, have a slice of their carrot cake, and BAM! All your problems disappear. I’m not even kidding. The menu changes, though, and sometimes they run out of your favorites… Which, let me tell you, is a *tragedy* if you’re craving that cake. But generally? The food quality is surprisingly high. And the coffee? Strong. Like, "I can actually function and talk to people" strong.
Is it busy? Like, do I need to fight for a seat?
It *can* get busy, especially on weekends, but I haven’t experienced the chaos I've seen in some other places. My advice? Go during the week, or go late-ish in the evening when the crowds thin out. Or, even *better*, go when it's raining! Seriously, something about the rain and the warm drinks at September House… pure bliss. However, once I went on a Sunday afternoon and *couldn’t* find a seat. I ended up just standing awkwardly near the counter, feeling like a weirdo. I should have just left, but I really, *really* wanted the cake. Took me about 20 minutes for a table to free up. Lesson learned: be prepared to wait a little. Or plan ahead. Or just embrace the awkward standing.
The interior design? I’ve heard it’s a bit... unusual.
"Unusual" is putting it mildly. There's a… *lot* going on. Like, a kaleidoscope of mismatched chairs, vintage posters, and what I think might be a collection of old typewriters. And plants. Everywhere. It’s not minimalist, let's put it that way. It’s more like… maximalist charm? You'll either love it or find it a little overwhelming. I oscillate. Sometimes I adore it, sometimes I just wish I could clear away some of the clutter. But, you know? It’s memorable. And let’s face it, we're all a little sick of the same boring, sterile decor.
Okay, so what's the *worst* thing about September House? Be honest.
Alright, here's the truth bomb: the service can be a little… *variable*. Sometimes it's fantastic – super friendly, attentive staff. Other times? Well, let's just say they’re also dealing with the chaos of running a popular cafe. Slow. It can be slow. One time, I waited almost 30 minutes for a coffee. And the worst part? I had to keep asking, and eventually, I found myself *ordering* the coffee twice! I mean, come *on*. That's a *lot* of carrot cake waiting time wasted! The staff are usually nice enough, bless their hearts, but sometimes, organization is not their strongest suit. But you know what? You develop a certain… patience. And you get used to it. It’s part of the charm, or something.
Anything else I should know before I go? Any insider tips?
* **Go hungry.** Seriously. Save room for cake. And maybe try something you wouldn't normally order. Their experimental stuff is usually the best. * **Go on a rainy day.** Seriously, the ambiance is ten times better. * **Bring cash.** Just in case. Not every cafe in Tangerang has working credit card machine sometimes, even in modern times, it's always safe to bring cash * **Lower your expectations... slightly.** Don't expect perfection, expect an experience. * **Embrace the quirks!** That's what makes it special. * **If you are super impatient, stick to take away** * **And remember**: everything is better with a good friend. Sharing the cake is optional, though!
So, final verdict? Would you recommend it?
Absolutely! Yes, totally, 100% I'd recommend September House 93529. It’s not perfect, no. But it’s got a certain… *je ne sais quoi*. It's a place with soul, a place where you can actually unwind (if you can find a seat!), and a place where the food is genuinely good. Definitely check it out. Just… be prepared for the experience! And be patient with the service. And for the love of all that is holy, order the cake! Honestly, I need to go back. Now. I'm craving that black sesame latte again… Ugh, this cafe... it's an addiction, a beautiful, imperfect addiction. Is it a "hidden gem?" For me, absolutely. Just go. And tell me what *you* think.
