Palembang's Hidden Gem: RedDoorz Syariah's Budget-Friendly Paradise!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the steaming hot, potentially mosquito-infested, but hopefully amazing world of Palembang's Hidden Gem: RedDoorz Syariah! Budget-Friendly Paradise, baby! SEO-powered review? Oh yeah, it's about to get real.
First Impressions & Access: The Hustle & the Heart (and Did I Mention, Aircon?)
Okay, let's be honest, Palembang isn't exactly easy to get to. Traffic… Ugh. So, Accessibility is HUGE. Thankfully, RedDoorz Syariah is pretty solid. The location itself? Not bad, not great. Depends where you're coming from. But once you're there, you're there. Thank goodness, because after that drive…
**(Emotional Reaction: Relief. Pure, unadulterated RELIEF. And the AC! Oh, sweet, blessed AC! I’m talking about, *Air conditioning in public area*, and of course, *Air conditioning* in my room! Because you know what Palembang humidity does to a person. You become one big, sticky human… pancake.)**
And the Elevator? Thank heavens for it. Not everything in Palembang is wheelchair-friendly, but it's good to know Facilities for disabled guests exist, even if I wasn’t using them.
The Room: Cleanliness, Comfort, and the Dreaded Bed
Right, the heart of the matter – the room! This is where it gets… interesting. Let's start on a high note: Cleanliness and safety. They’re serious about this. I’m talking Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays, and even Anti-viral cleaning products. That's reassuring. Especially after the traffic. They also offer Room sanitization opt-out available as a perk.
The Non-smoking rooms are a godsend. However, the bathroom… It’s perfectly adequate. Just… adequate. The Shower worked. The Hot water linen and laundry washing was a perk. I'm a big fan of Towels.
**My Room, my little sanctuary. Also, it had no noise. I mean, *Soundproof rooms*! This is a huge win. The *Blackout curtains* kept that Palembang sun at bay, and the Bed? Okay so, the bed. It was comfortable enough. Could've been better. The pillows? Well, let’s just say I’ve seen better pillows. The extra long bed was a plus. But what I loved most, was the Window that opens!**
(Quirky Observation: I swear, Indonesian hotel rooms have a special gene that allows them to collect dust at an alarming rate. But RedDoorz did a good job.)
Internet & Digital Life
Okay, let’s talk internet, because let’s be honest, we all need it. I'm happy to report the Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! was solid. Internet access wasn’t perfect, and speed varied. But I got my work done and that’s all that matters!
(Anecdote: One morning, I tried to video call my mum, and the Wi-Fi just… died. Turns out, there was a power outage in the city. Ah, Indonesia! I laughed, and then went to the cafe.)
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking Shenanigans
Now, for the food! (Insert enthusiastic food emoji). Okay, the Restaurants weren't exactly Michelin-star material, but decent. Breakfast. That was important. They had a Breakfast [buffet]. It was… adequate. I mean, there were Asian breakfast options, Western breakfast choices, and there was a Coffee/tea in restaurant. They even had Breakfast takeaway service!
**(Rambling thought: Okay, so the coffee was… instant. But they had a *decent* *Coffee shop*! Which saved my sanity. And the *Snack bar* came in handy.)**
The Amenities: Relax, Pamper, and Pretend You're Not Broke
Here’s the (potential) jackpot! Remember, it's RedDoorz Syariah? So, the Spa/sauna isn’t an option. But even without all those things… I'm a city person, and I don’t expect a spa. However, the Swimming pool [outdoor] looked nice. And there was a Poolside bar - unfortunately, I saw no alcohol there. Bummer.
(Anecdote and Emotional Reaction: Okay, so I didn’t actually use the pool. But I snuck a peek. And it looked inviting. I was tempted. Very, very tempted. But I had to work. Sigh.)
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things
Okay, so the basics were covered. Front desk [24-hour], Daily housekeeping (essential!), Laundry service (huge plus), Cash withdrawal, Luggage storage – all good. There was a Convenience store too.
Some other wins: They had Air conditioning in public area, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Doctor/nurse on call, and a First aid kit. The Car park [free of charge] was fantastic.
**(Observation: I loved having *Free bottled water* in my room! And the complimentary tea was a nice touch.)**
For The Kids?
Family/child friendly? Yes. Babysitting service? Probably. Kids facilities? Not that I saw. But the place is safe and clean, so it's a good place.
Getting Around
Car park [free of charge] = WIN! The Airport transfer was an option, of course, and they provided Taxi service… but I used Grab apps to get around.
Cleanliness and Safety… Again?
I’m not forgetting about this. This is very important. They've really stepped up their game on the safety front, especially post-pandemic. I mean they have CCTV in common areas and Security [24-hour]. This is, obviously, another must-have!

Escape to Paradise: Jeju's BEST Dog-Friendly Pension!
Alright, here's a hot mess of a travel itinerary for RedDoorz Syariah @ Penginapan Sederhana in Palembang. Consider this less a polished document and more a crazed diary scribbled on a napkin after way too much cheap coffee and questionable street food:
Palembang Pilgrimage: A Whirlwind of Temple Gazes and Unexpected Spicy Delights
Day 1: Arrival and the Quest for Kerupuk… and Sanity
14:00: Land at Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Airport. Ugh, airports. The fluorescent lights, the stressed-out travelers… Already feeling the urge to just nap. Found a tiny, scruffy-looking taxi driver who looked like he might actually know the way to RedDoorz. Let's pray to whatever deity oversees Indonesian traffic that he does.
- Anecdote: The taxi smelled faintly of jasmine and something else… something that, frankly, gave me pause. Kind of a "hope-it-doesn't-smell-like-that-all-the-way" kind of pause.
15:00: Arrive at RedDoorz Syariah. Praying it’s not a cockroach rodeo inside, despite the budget-friendly price. Front desk guy looked like he was still figuring out his first java of the day. Check-in was smooth, thankfully. This is not the most exciting of establishments, but the air con is bliss, for now…
16:00: Room check. Okay, it's… functional. Clean-ish, thankfully. Bed seems… okay. Let's pretend I didn't just see a suspicious smudge on the wall. Time for a deep breath and a plan: Kerupuk! I NEED to get some proper kerupuk. The crispy, shrimp-flavored goodness. I read about the street food scene being good.
- Rant: The map I downloaded seemed to lead down a dark alleyway. Nope. Rewind. I’m not getting murdered on day one.
17:00: Street Food Adventure (Attempt 1). Wandered around looking for kerupuk, only to be distracted by the scent of grilling satay and the shouts of "baksoo!" A whole-hearted detour. Ordered some random stuff that looked good. Spicy. VERY spicy. Cried a little. Loved it.
19:00: Back at the hotel. Stomach churning from the heat and a strange mix of happiness and regret. Watched a few episodes on Netflix. Trying to find my bearings.
21:00: Lights out. Praying for uninterrupted sleep and the energy to face tomorrow.
- Emotional Reaction: I’m already slightly overwhelmed. This is more intense that I thought.
Day 2: Ampera Bridge and the Price of Beauty (and Coffee)
08:00: Wake up… after a surprisingly decent night's sleep. Success! Need coffee. Desperately. Breakfast is included, but the thought of another "nasi goreng" (fried rice) fills me with… mild dread.
- Quirky Observation: I swear, the roosters here have the same amount of energy as I do when I’ve had too much sugar.
09:00: Attempt at figuring out public transport. Got stared at. Felt a little like an alien. Decided to take the taxi. Negotiating the price was a whole performance, complete with dramatic hand gestures and a lot of "tidak mengerti" (don't understand).
10:00: Ampera Bridge. Holy wow. Pictures don’t do this justice. The sheer scale of it. Took a million photos. Annoyed a few locals. Worth it. Took a boat ride under the bridge, which was equally amazing. Feeling all the feels. So beautiful.
12:00: Lunch. Found a warung (small, family-run restaurant) near the river. Ordered something… brown. (It was delicious, by the way.) Tried to order a coffee. The language barrier was REAL. Finally, managed to get something caffeinated. It was strong. REALLY strong. Nearly vibrated out of my seat.
14:00: Attempted to visit a museum. Closed. Or maybe I just couldn't find the entrance. Gave up. The heat was getting to me.
15:00: Coffee break round two. Found a cafe, aircon, and wifi. Bliss. Spent an hour pretending to be productive while staring at the locals.
17:00: Street food round two. (This time, I knew exactly what I wanted: a giant plate of those kerupuk.) Found the same stall as yesterday. He remembered me! He smiled. Yay.
19:00: Back to the hotel. Exhausted but content. Journaling, scrolling through photos. Feeling like I actually did something today.
21:00: Early night. Feeling good.
- Random Thought: I wonder what tomorrow will bring? And more importantly, will I survive another spicy meal?
Day 3: Farewell Palembang? Or Just a Very Long Nap?
08:00: Wake up. Feeling good, but there is a headache. I have no idea what it is. Is the coffee? The street food? Or just the general intensity of Palembang? Probably all three.
- Imperfect Moment: I’m going to need an emergency supply of ibuprofen.
09:00: The itinerary has been abandoned. The idea was some temple visiting, but I just don't have the energy… and tbh, the thought of more walking in the heat doesn't appeal.
10:00: Decided to treat myself to a spa treatment. Booked a massage. Best money ever spent. (Even if it's not a real spa). After a massage and a face wash.
12:00: Late lunch! Went back to warung. Chicken. Rice. Spicy sauce. Sigh. Never change Palembang.
14:00: Thinking of seeing the Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Museum.
15:00: Actually, I think I'll just head back to RedDoorz and read. I am just going to read.
16:00: Read. Read. Read.
17:00: Snacks.
18:00: Pack.
19:00: Head to the airport. Bye-bye.
- Opinionated Language: Palembang, you were intense. You were spicy. You were beautiful. And I am absolutely shattered. But I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
20:00: Depart.
- Emotional Reaction: The trip has been good.
