Jember's HOTTEST Apartment: Calli Rooms' Town Square Paradise!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the beans on Calli Rooms' Town Square Paradise -- Jember's supposed pièce de résistance in the apartment game. Let's be real, finding a good hotel in Jember is like finding a decent cup of coffee before noon: a challenge. But does Calli Rooms actually live up to the hype? Let’s dive in headfirst, shall we? And by headfirst, I mean straight into the mess that is my inner monologue.

Accessibility: The Good, the Bad, and the Staircase of Doom
Alright, so accessibility. A big deal, especially for a clumsy soul like me. The good news? They claim to be wheelchair accessible. I didn't personally test this with a wheelchair (thank the heavens), but they do list "facilities for disabled guests". However, and this is a big HOWEVER, navigating the whole complex might be a bit of a workout. I saw…stairs. Lots of stairs. And I'm not gonna lie, those are NOT my jam. So, check with them specifically about which areas are truly accessible. Don't just take my word, take theirs. They definitely market themselves as accessible, which is a HUGE plus in a place like Jember where proper infrastructure is… well, it's a work in progress, shall we say?
On-Site Grub & Guzzling: From Buffets to, Uh, Buffets
Okay, FOOD. My raison d'être. Calli Rooms boasts a lot of food options, and I’m a sucker for choices.
- Restaurants: Multiple! They have restaurants. Plural! This is a good start. They actually claim to do International and Asian cuisine, which is exciting. I'm all for a good Pad Thai after a sweaty gym session.
- Breakfast: There's a buffet. Buffet everything is a win in my book. Especially after a night of… observing the local nightlife. Let's just say, Jember can be lively. They do offer breakfast in your room too, if you're feeling like a total recluse (no judgment). And, they serve, what is said to be, Asian BreakFast.
- Poolside Bar: This is where it gets interesting. Imagine: sun, water, a fruity drink… bliss. They’ve got one. Plus the other snack bar… yes to the happy hour! I'm liking the sound of this.
- Coffee Shop: The coffee in Jember is… varied. Let's hope this one is a winner. Coffee is a necessity for me
Wheelchair Wonders (Again, Verify!):
I repeat, seriously verify how accessible things actually are. I can’t stress this enough. They say they are. But call ahead!
Internet: Bless the Almighty Wi-Fi Gods!
FREE Wi-Fi in all the rooms! Praise be! No more agonizing over dodgy 3G. They also tout "Internet access – LAN," which, for all you tech heads, is a bonus. Also good for you, that way you can have all the internet you need.
Things to Do and Ways to… Un-Do?
This is where Calli Rooms really tries to flex.
- The Spa Life: They've got a spa. And a sauna. And a steamroom. Seriously, someone call the relaxation police, because I'm about to become a permanent resident. And the sauna… YES. They’re also doing body scrubs and body wraps. (I'm picturing myself wrapped in seaweed. Is that a good thing? I’ll find out!)
- Fitness Freak-Out: A fitness center! Now, listen, "fitness center" can mean a lot of things. Hopefully, it's not just a treadmill and a rusty weight set. BUT, it's there! They've got a gym. And a pool with a view.
- Pool Time: Oh, the pool! An outdoor swimming pool. In Jember heat? Yes, please! This is a major selling point. If you're in Jember, you're gonna want to cool off.
Cleanliness and Safety: Sanitized Chaos?
Okay, this is the important part. They mention a lot of safety protocol, which is a good sign.
- Anti-Viral Cleaning: Good.
- Daily Disinfection: Excellent.
- Hand Sanitizer: Essential.
- Staff Trained: A must.
- Rooms Sanitized: Crucial.
The fact that they’re emphasizing hygiene suggests they’re serious, which is a major relief. Because, let’s face it, when you're traveling, you want the assurance that you won't catch the Jember Jungle Fever (or worse). I like that they’re offering opt-outs too. Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Feast for the Senses (and the Stomach)
They've got restaurants. Plural! Which is a good start. They claim to do International and Asian cuisine. I'm all for a good Pad Thai after a sweaty gym session. They do offer breakfast in your room too, if you're feeling like a total recluse (no judgment). And, Asian cuisine as well. A Poolside Bar! This is where it gets interesting. Imagine: sun, water, a fruity drink… bliss. I like the sound of this. They also have a coffee shop. The Room Rundown: My Happy Place?
So, what about the actual rooms?
- Amenities: The usual suspects - Air conditioning (praise be!), coffee/tea maker, a mini bar (always a plus!), a safe box, and a hair dryer for all my bad hair days. They also have bathtub and shower, which is a big thing.
- The Extras: Bathrobes! I love a good bathrobe situation. And extra long bed for all your lounging needs and blackout curtains. Those are key.
- Views, baby!: They boast about high floors. So, bring your camera, because I'm hoping for some good photo opportunities.
They offer Non-smoking rooms. Good for you.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things that Matter
- 24-hour stuff: Concierge, front desk, and room service? Score! When you're traveling, you can't beat 24-hour access
- The Practical Stuff: Laundry service, dry cleaning, and luggage storage? All wins.
- The Add-ons: Babysitting service (for those traveling with kiddos), currency exchange, and a gift shop. The gift shop… I'm already picturing the souvenirs.
For the Kids: Family-Friendly Fun?
They mention kids’ facilities and a babysitting service. This is fantastic for families wanting to explore Jember.
Getting Around: Airport Transfers and More
They offer airport transfers. That’s a relief. Taxis exist, but comfort is key, and Jember can be a bit of a trip for you. They also have Car Parks.

Escape to Paradise: Your Romantic Lagoon View Awaits (JU78A)
Alright, here's a brutally honest and messy travel itinerary for Jember Town Square Apartment by Calli Rooms Indonesia. Buckle up, buttercups, because this ain't your sterile brochure itinerary:
Jember Jaunt: A Rambling Adventure at Calli Rooms
Day 1: Arrival & Apartment Awkwardness (Mostly Positive… Mostly)
- 14:00 - Landfall! (Airport/Train Station to Calli Rooms): Right, so picture this: me, bleary-eyed and smelling vaguely of stale airplane air (or train fumes, depending). The journey was a blur of delayed flights/missed connections/annoying seatmates. Finally, Jember! Finding a Grab (ride-sharing) was surprisingly smooth, but the driver's enthusiastic singing along to dangdut music was…an experience. I arrived at Calli Rooms, which initially looked promising from online photos.
- 14:30 - Apartment Check-in & The Great Key Hunt: The lobby was clean, AC blasting – a godsend. Check-in? Effortless. The actual act of finding my apartment, however, was a mini-adventure in itself. The hallways seemed to stretch on forever, each door indistinguishable from the last. Finally, success! Key in hand, I wrestled with the lock for a solid three minutes, feeling like a complete buffoon. (Honest moment: I might have briefly considered calling for help and pretending I forgot how to unlock a door.)
- 15:00 - Apartment Inspection & Interior Design Opinions (Unsolicited, Obviously): Okay, first impressions of the apartment! It was… functional. Clean enough, I guess. The furniture, however, looked like it was sourced from a particularly enthusiastic IKEA sale in the early 2000s. The sofa looked comfy, but felt like it was made from cardboard, which I didn't fancy much and quickly decided to just drop my bag on the floor. The view? Of another apartment! Gotta love that city life. (Sarcasm, people, sarcasm.)
- 16:00 - First food quest – Getting lost in the local chaos: Time for food. I did absolutely nothing to improve my navigation skills, and found myself wandering completely lost in the bustling city to search for the perfect meal. Luckily, an innocent-looking street food vendor beckoned me with the enticing scent of grilling satay. The satay was surprisingly good. The language barrier was a fun game of charades, but the lack of my Indonesian language was the main problem.
- 18:00 - Back to apartment: Exhausted, I returned to the apartment, where I collapsed in the comfy bed for a nap and an attempt to avoid a second food quest.
Day 2: Jember's Embrace (Or, My Mostly Successful Attempts)
- 08:00 - Breakfast Debacle (and the Joy of Instant Coffee): Turns out, the apartment didn't include much, so I had to go scavenging myself. My 'breakfast' consisted of instant coffee, as I had not planned to go and look for breakfast earlier. No regrets.
- 09:00 - Exploring the Local Scene (and My Terrible Sense of Direction, Again): Time to actually explore Jember! This time, I was determined to find some proper local sights… and I did, though I'll admit, after a detour involving a wrong bus, half a dozen confusing turns, and a near-death experience with a rogue motorcycle.
- 12:00 - Lunchtime Victory! (Or, That One Amazing Meal): The highlight of the day: finding this tiny warung. I ordered nasi rawon and a refreshing es teh. If I could describe it, there was this particular spicy kick that I couldn't get over. It was so good that I went back again for dinner. After eating, I felt I was in heaven.
Day 3: Farewell, Jember (and My Mixed Feelings)
- 09:00 - Final Apartment Farewell (The "I'm Sad to Leave… but Also Ready to Leave" Dilemma): Last morning in the apartment. I was torn between "Yay, adventure!" and "Aww, this slightly-janky-but-familiar space is kind of… home?" I felt grateful.
This whole experience was an honest, and messy travel, packed with the highs, lows, and the outright absurdity.
Indonesian Paradise: Your Private Waterfall Villa Awaits!
Calli Rooms' Town Square Paradise: Your Guide (Because I Lived There, Okay?)
So, what’s the *deal* with Calli Rooms? Is it actually paradise, or just another apartment building pretending?
Okay, look, "paradise" is a *strong* word. Let's just say... it's got potential. Picture this: you're in Jember, right? You're expecting, well, Jember. Then you walk into Calli Rooms' Town Square, and BAM! High ceilings, actual air conditioning that *works* (a rarity in these parts, believe me), and a view… sometimes a view. The "Town Square" part is a bit optimistic – it's more like a courtyard with a few scattered shops – but the *rooms* themselves? They're pretty darn decent. I'm talking fresh paint, modern-ish furniture that doesn't feel like it's older than my grandma, and decent enough Wi-Fi. Emphasis on "decent enough." Don't expect to stream 4K movies at 3 AM, alright?
My personal experience? The first week was glorious. Pure, unadulterated bliss. I felt like I'd won the lottery! Then, the toilet clogged. Twice. But hey, that's life, right? And the maintenance guys were actually pretty quick about it. So, paradise-adjacent? Maybe. Worth it? Yeah, probably.
What's the size of the rooms? Are we talking shoebox or actual living space?
Now, this depends on which *type* of room you snag. But, generally, no shoeboxes here. They’ve got different configurations, from standard rooms to... I think they called them "deluxe" or something equally fancy. The standard ones are... well, standard. Enough room for a bed, a desk (yay!), a small wardrobe, and a *tiny*, TINY little balcony that's more for air than actual lounging. The deluxe ones? Roomier. You might actually be able to swing a cat in there (metaphorically speaking, of course). I'm not sure I'd pay the extra for it though, honestly. Save your money for the street food.
A thought on room sizes: My friend, bless her heart, moved into one of the "deluxe" rooms. It felt like a palace compared to my humble abode. She spent the first week just... *walking* around it. "I can have a dance party in here!" she'd excitedly proclaim, before promptly tripping over the rug. So, pros and cons, I suppose.
Air conditioning? The Jember heat is brutal. Is it reliable?
THANK GOD, yes! The air conditioning is the unsung hero of Calli Rooms, especially if you're coming from a place where it's *always* humid and hotter than the devil's barbeque, like Jember. I remember the *first* time I cranked it up. Bliss. Pure, cold, beautiful bliss. It's not perfect – there were a few times where it sputtered and coughed. You know how these things go. But as long as it wasn't a constant, it was bearable.
Wi-Fi. The dreaded question. Is it usable?
Usable? Yes. Fast enough to reliably stream? ...Sometimes. Look, it's the Wi-Fi of an apartment building in Indonesia. It's not going to be world-class. I'd be lying if I didn't admit to *multiple* frustrated yells at the router. Expect it to dip and dive at peak times. During the day? Mostly fine. At night, when everyone's trying to watch Netflix or call their families? Prepare for a bit of a buffering party. I had to *beg* my brother in America to send me a VPN service one time.
What about the neighborhood? Is it safe? Is there anything to *do*?
Safety? I never felt unsafe at Calli Rooms, honestly. The security guards were pretty attentive, and the main entrance is always locked down. Crime isn't a huge issue in that area, though you should always be aware of your belongings, of course. As for things to do... the "Town Square" is a bit of a letdown, as I mentioned. There's a minimarket, a laundry service, and a few small eateries. It's not exactly a bustling metropolis.
My neighborhood story: I went to a local cafe on the first day, and my coffee was so bad it actually made me laugh! (I'm not a coffee snob, I promise!) But you're in Jember, people! There's street food galore just outside the gates. Seriously, the food scene is the *best* part, especially the night markets. You can find virtually any delicious meal if you're willing to find the right vendor. Embrace the local life, and you won't be bored.
Are there any hidden costs or surprise fees I should know about?
Read your contract. Seriously. Always. I made the mistake of not reading *every* single word. I didn't realize that some things are separate from the rent. Like utilities. Electricity is something you pay extra for, so watch your air conditioning usage. And, of course, there's the occasional "lost key" fee. Try not to lose your key. (Easier said than done, right?)
How's the customer service for Calli Rooms? Any horror stories?
It's… okay. Let's be honest, customer service in Indonesia can sometimes be a rollercoaster. I had a few issues. The clogged toilet incident? The maintenance guys showed up eventually, but not as quickly as I wanted. It was a Saturday, and all of a sudden it was a plumbing emergency. I was so glad, when a maintenance guy finally arrived, that he fixed it with a smile. But there were other times, when they didn't respond right away, but the overall service wasn't terrible. Think friendly but maybe a little slow when dealing with anything that's not an emergency, like getting a light bulb changed. Don't expect instant gratification, and you'll be fine.
Overall, would you recommend Calli Rooms? The honest truth, please!
Alright, here's the TL;DR: Yes, I would. With caveats. It's not perfect, like, at all. But if you're looking for a decent, modern-ish apartment in Jember with reliable air conditioning, and you're willing to deal with the occasional minor inconvenience? Then, yeah. It's worth it. The price is decent, the rooms are nice, and the location is convenient. It's not paradise, but it's a pretty good option in a city that can be a bit rough around the edges. Just... don't expect miracles, and bring some patience. And maybe a good book for those Wi-Fi outages.
