Unbelievable Views! Noah's Park Paradise Getaway: My (Unfiltered) Lembang Adventure! (RedDoorz Deal!)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Lembang, Bandung, and I'm here to dish the dirt (and the deliciousness) on Noah's Park Paradise Getaway! This was a RedDoorz deal, so honestly, my expectations were… well, let's just say I wasn't expecting a palace. But, spoiler alert: Unbelievable Views are not a lie!

Accessibility: Not Always the Easiest Climb (But the Views Make Up For It!)
Okay, let's be real. I'm not a super-athlete. While I am an ableist person, I can report what I observed. Accessibility is… a mixed bag. There's an elevator, which is a HUGE plus for a place built on a hillside. Blessedly, there are no stairs to climb!. However, navigating the rest of the property depends on how adventurous a person is.
Wheelchair accessibility is not specified. I did see some ramps and elevators, but it's definitely not a perfectly flat situation. Be sure to call ahead and ask about specific room access, because there are ups and downs.
Internet Access: Wi-Fi and LAN? More Like Wi-Fi - Hooray!
The Internet situation was pretty good. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! and also the lobby, restaurant, which is awesome. No complaints there, except the occasional buffering when streaming videos while the crowd is using it. Internet [LAN], technically, I think, is also offered, which is cool for the tech nerds!
On-site accessible restaurants / lounges: While difficult when it comes to the location and the nature of this place, it is doable.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax & the Spa: Oh My Goodness, The Views!
This is where Noah's Park really shines – literally! The pool with a view is just ridiculous. Seriously. One of the best I've ever seen. You're practically swimming in the clouds. It's the kind of view that makes you want to quit your job and become a professional lounger. I could happily spend hours just staring out at the mountains.
They have a proper spa on site! I am not a professional spa-goer, but I will gladly pay for one. I opted for a massage, which was excellent. The staff were friendly and professional. Now they offer Foot bath, Body scrub, and Body wrap. It's definitely a treat for that weary body.
There's also a Fitness center. I walked by it once. My definition of "fitness" is usually walking to the snack bar. And, finally, the Sauna, Spa/sauna, and Steamroom are also available!
Cleanliness and Safety: They're Trying Their Best!
Okay, let’s talk pandemic protocol. This is a major win for me, which means, yes, Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, and Hand sanitizer. They were also Rooms sanitized between stays. I also like Staff trained in safety protocol.
There were also a lot of things from the Sanitized kitchen and tableware items to the Safe dining setup. They have done all they can to keep the dining area in check!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Food, Glorious Food!
The food situation at Noah's Park was surprisingly good, particularly given the price point. A great Asian breakfast was included, which was a delicious way to start the day. They had the classics, Breakfast [buffet] and some Asian cuisine in restaurant. I like Coffee/tea in restaurant, and Coffee shop.
They had a Poolside bar, which was perfect for grabbing a drink (or three) while soaking up the sun. Also great for getting Bottle of water. There's also a Snack bar, and Restaurants. I'm a fan of options! I also enjoy Desserts in restaurant, and Salad in restaurant and Soup in restaurant.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
The Concierge was super helpful, and the Doorman was always friendly. They offer Daily housekeeping, which is always appreciated. They also have Laundry service and Ironing service. Also, they had Cash withdrawal, Convenience store, and Cashless payment service.
For the Kids: Family-Friendly Fun!
I didn’t bring any kids, but I saw plenty of families having a blast. They have Family/child friendly facilities, and Kids meal, and Babysitting service. Which makes the adults happy when they can do some relaxing!
Available in All Rooms: Comfort & Convenience
My room was perfectly comfortable, if not exactly luxurious. The Air conditioning worked like a charm (thank goodness!), the Bed was comfy, also the Blackout curtains for a great sleep. There was a Coffee/tea maker, Free bottled water, and of course, Wi-Fi [free] was a lifesaver. I also had a Desk, Chair, Closet, Mini bar, Refrigerator, and In-room safe box. Everything you could need for a short visit.
Getting Around: Easy Peasy
They offer Airport transfer, which is super convenient. There's Car park [free of charge] if you drove there. Also they offer Car park [on-site]. And there is a Taxi service.
My Honest Opinion (The Messy Part)
Okay, so here's the deal. This isn't a five-star hotel. But for the price, and especially with the RedDoorz deal, it's an absolute steal. The Unbelievable Views alone are worth the price of admission. And honestly, the slight imperfections just add to the charm. It's a place that feels genuinely Indonesian, not some sterile, cookie-cutter resort.
The biggest downside? The location, again, is up and down, which can be challenging for those with mobility issues.
Would I go back? Absolutely. I'm already dreaming of my next dip in that pool and those Unbelievable Views! It's a place where you can relax, unwind, and just breathe in the fresh mountain air. And honestly? Sometimes, that's all you really need.

Okay, strap in, buttercups! This isn't your sanitized, perfectly-planned travel brochure.

Buckle up, because things are about to get real.
The "Almost Definitely Going to Get Lost" Lembang Adventure: A RedDoorz Pilgrimage (with a Touch of Chaos)
Day 1: Arrival & The Great Bandung Bed Bug Scare (Maybe?)
- 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM: Landing at Husein Sastranegara International Airport (BDO). Okay, first impressions? Hot. Really, really hot. And the baggage carousel? A slow, grinding torture device of anticipation. Finally snagged my pack, and a wave of relief washed over me…followed by the realization I hadn’t exchanged enough Rupiah. Rookie mistake, right?
- 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Grabbed a Bluebird taxi! Negotiating taxi prices in a foreign country? A culinary art of stressful bargaining. We settled on a fare that I thought was okay, and we were off! The traffic? A swirling, honking ballet of scooters, cars, and rogue street vendors. Bandung is a visual feast, even from the inside of a taxi.
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Arrived at RedDoorz at Urbanview near Noah's Park. Exterior looks… adequate. Hoping the interior is less… questionable. (The reviews vaguely mentioned “cleanliness”). Sigh of relief because the front desk person spoke a little English, enough to confirm my check-in and get my key.
- 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Unpacked and tentatively explored the room. It's… compact. The bed? Looks inviting, but I’m secretly paranoid about bed bugs. The fear is real, people! Did a thorough inspection with my phone's flashlight. Nothing suspicious… yet. Praying to the travel gods for a bug-free experience.
- 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Lunch! Found a warung (small local eatery) down the street. Ordered… something. I think it was nasi goreng (Indonesian fried rice), but the language barrier added a layer of delicious (and slightly terrifying) mystery. Verdict: Spicy, delicious, and probably worth the risk of a questionable stomach.
- 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Attempted a walk to Noah's Park using Google Maps. Spoiler alert: I, a directionally challenged individual, got delightfully lost. Ended up wandering through a local market, inhaling the fragrant chaos of spices, and feeling a sudden, overwhelming urge to buy a ridiculously oversized durian. Resisted. This time.
- 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Hoping to find some street food. Spotted a vendor selling something wrapped in banana leaves. Took a leap of faith and ordered one. Best. Snack. Ever. Crispy, savory, and probably fried in something questionable, but who cares? I'm on vacation!
- 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Back to RedDoorz to freshen up. (And re-inspect for bed bugs, of course.) The aircon is working, and the shower is… well, it’s working too. Small victories, right? Considering my adventure in the market I needed to take a shower.
- 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Dinner at a local eatery. Decided on Ayam Bakar (grilled chicken). The chicken was incredible, but a bit of a learning moment for me. Turns out, Indonesian food is serious business. I’m pretty sure my face was the color of a fire engine after the first bite.
- 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Back to the room. Journaling and strategizing for Day 2. Praying that my stomach can handle the culinary adventures and there are no bed bugs. Wish me luck.
- 9:00 PM: - Until I pass out: Netflix and chill to some Indonesian dramas. (The subtitles are a godsend.) Sleep. Or at least, attempt to sleep. (Keeping one eye open for bed bugs.)
Day 2: Noah's Park and Epic Fails (And Maybe Some Success)
- 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Wake up, bed bug check (still clear!), and attempt breakfast. The provided… something… at RedDoorz. It looks suspiciously like instant noodles. Decided to skip it, it was not worth the time or the risk.
- 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Noah's Park! Finally reached the destination, that took forever and I was sweating buckets. The place is cute, with a decent view. I am so happy I managed to arrive since I was so bad at maps. Took some pictures to post on my Instagram feed and then decided to get some food!
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Trying, and failing, to ride a horse at Noah's Park. I am very afraid of animals, and horses are bigger than me! I fell down. I laughed. I recovered. I decided to get to a cafe and eat something, I was hungry!
- 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Quick walk to a closeby cafe. Ordered some delicious noodles. The taste, the texture… Perfect!
- 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM: After my meal, I wanted to buy some souvenirs, since I will forget the trip. Walked down a small street and asked the locals for direction. It was very hot, but I finally made it to my destination.
- 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Went back to the room to take a shower, I was very tired. Went to sleep.
- 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Night market! Exploring the city once again. Bought my food and souvenirs. A long day finally getting to an end.
- 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Time to spend some time on my own, I have to eat or sleep. Decided to go to sleep.
- 8:00 PM - Until I go to sleep: Sleep.
Day 3: Departure & The Emotional Rollercoaster of Leaving
- 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Final bed bug check (still clear! Victory!). Packed, feeling surprisingly melancholic. Bandung, despite the heat and the potential for questionable food, has grown on me.
- 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Checked out of RedDoorz. Said a fond (and slightly relieved) goodbye to my temporary bug prison.
- 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM: Bluebird taxi back to the airport. Negotiating the fare again. Learned my lesson about the Rupiah exchange rate.
- 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Airport security. Navigating the chaos of international departures. Realizing I have, like, zero Rupiah left.
- 12:00 PM Onward: Flight to my next destination. Reflecting on the trip: chaotic, delicious, slightly terrifying, and ultimately, unforgettable. Already dreaming of my next adventure. And praying for a bed bug-free experience next time.
Reflections:
- The Food: Phenomenal! And consistently spicy. My taste buds have been permanently altered.
- The RedDoorz: Fine. Functional. (Maybe invest in a better insect inspection kit.)
- The People: Incredibly kind and helpful, even when I was hopelessly lost. Thank you very much!
- The Overall Vibe: Bandung is a sensory overload in the best possible way. I'm already planning my return trip. (And I’m bringing a stronger magnifying glass for bed bug checks.)
- Rating for RedDoorz? 2.5 out of 5 stars. Cleanliness could be improved, but the price was right, and I survived! Plus, hey, at least I have a good story to tell.
And so, my friends, ends the tale of my Lembang adventure. Go forth and explore, my travel companions! Embrace the chaos, the questionable food, and the ever-present possibility of bed bugs. Because that, my friends, is what makes travel truly memorable. Safe travels!

Unbelievable Views! Noah's Park Paradise Getaway in Lembang (RedDoorz Deal!) - The REAL FAQs (Because Let's Be Honest, the Brochure Lies a Little)
Okay, So, "Unbelievable Views"… Seriously? Is it Just a Marketing Buzzword?
Alright, alright, let's get real. "Unbelievable Views" had me picturing some panoramic panorama, like, "Look at that majestic mountain range!"… and yes, *technically*, the views are there. You *can* see some hills. Sometimes. If the fog isn't thicker than pea soup. See, Lembang is notorious for its cloud cover. My first morning? Nada. Zilch. Just a wall of white. I was beginning to feel like I'd booked a room in a cloud. But… the second day? OH. MY. GOD. It *was* unbelievable. The sun cracked through, and suddenly you have this breathtaking vista. Layers of green, the air crisp… it's worth the gamble. Bring a good book for the foggy days. Or, you know, a bottle of something.
RedDoorz Deal… Is This Place Actually Clean? (Because, Budget Hotels…)
Okay, this is important. Look, it's a RedDoorz. We all know the drill. Expectations need to be… adjusted. I walked in bracing for the worst. I’ve stayed at the kind of places where you'd swear they only clean on leap years. But! Noah's Park? Honestly, it wasn’t *grimy*. The sheets looked clean-ish. The bathroom wasn't actively trying to kill me with mold (a win in my book!). There were a few suspiciously placed ants... (they seemed to be a family of explorers), but nothing that a quick squish couldn't resolve. Overall: It’s clean enough. Don't expect the Ritz, but you won't need hazmat gear.
What's the Deal with the "Noah's Park" Theme? Sounds Kinda…Biblical.
Yeah, it’s a bit… on the nose, isn’t it? "Noah's Park." Think slightly campy, but not offensively so. There are little wooden animals scattered about. The "ark" itself... well, let's just say it's more of a very large building. I didn't see any actual pairs of giraffes. Or any animals at all. The theme is there, present, but not the *focus*. Honestly, I was more concerned about getting my Wi-Fi to work than staring at the questionable "ark" architecture. (Which, by the way, took about 30 minutes of troubleshooting.)
Food, Glorious Food! What's the Dining Situation Like at Noah's Park?
Alright, prepare yourself. This is where things get a little… unpredictable. There's a restaurant, and it serves, well, food. The quality? Let's just say, it’s a bit of a gamble. One day, the nasi goreng was surprisingly decent (it was fuel, at least!). Another day, the mie goreng tasted suspiciously like it came from a packet. The coffee? Avoid. Unless you like instant coffee that tastes like dishwater. My advice? Explore Lembang! There are tons of amazing, affordable warungs and cafes nearby. Get your fill elsewhere, then maybe grab a quick snack at the hotel restaurant if you’re feeling desperate. I ended up taking a Grabfood order, and the delivery driver was… a little perplexed by the location. Worth it, though.
Is There Anything To Do Besides, You Know, Sit and Stare at the "Unbelievable Views"?
Okay, this is where Noah's Park (and Lembang in general) shines. You're surrounded by… stuff. There are tourist attractions and activities to fill your time. The hotel itself? Not much. It has a small pool, which was more like a giant puddle. I saw one brave soul take a dip. Bless them. But outside the hotel, it's a cornucopia of opportunity. You can explore the tea plantations (totally Instagrammable), visit the floating market (touristy, but fun), maybe even try a little trekking. However, keep in mind the traffic! Getting around Lembang can be a nightmare. Plan accordingly, and budget extra time. One day, I was stuck in a standstill for easily an hour, wishing I had brought something more interesting to do than look at other cars.
And the Wi-Fi? Because, You Know, Modern Life…
The Wi-Fi... ah, yes, the bane of the modern traveler's existence. Let's just say it's… a challenge. I spent more time trying to connect than actually connected. It's spotty, slow, and often non-existent. I ended up burning through my data allowance and tethering to my phone the entire time. If you need to work, consider yourself warned. If you're looking for a digital detox, well, this might be your lucky break. I actually got stuff done, finally. Turns out, procrastination needs the internet. What a revelation.
Okay, Spill the Tea. Would You Go Back?
Honestly? Maybe. Look, it’s not perfect. Far from it. There were definitely moments of frustration, moments of "Why did I pick *this* place?!", moments I wanted to upgrade to a five-star resort. The Wi-Fi was torturous. That coffee... ugh. But... that view. When it decides to bless you, it's worth it. The price is right. Lembang is gorgeous. It depends on your priorities. If you’re chasing luxury, look elsewhere. If you're after a budget-friendly getaway, with the potential for *stunning* scenery, and you can handle a little imperfection, then yeah. Maybe. Bring a good book, some snacks, pray for clear skies, and prepare to embrace the glorious mess. And maybe, just maybe, pack a portable Wi-Fi router.
Is there any "Paradise" element the brochure brags about?
Paradise is a strong word, okay? Let's not get carried away. Paradise implies a perfectly curated experience, and this is... not that. There's a certain… rustic charm, I guess you could call it. The real "paradise" element comes from your own ability to find it. Soak it in the natural beauty, embrace the fog, find a good restaurant, and put your phone away. If you do it right, it will slowly sink in that it is paradise. Eventually. Maybe.
Anything else I should know? Any hidden gotchas?
