Unbelievable Semarang Views! Luxury Kienne Pemuda Apartment (Louis, 17th Floor)
Unbelievable Semarang Views! Luxury Kienne Pemuda Apartment (Louis, 17th Floor): A Totally Honest (and Slightly Rambling) Review
Okay, so let’s talk about "Unbelievable Semarang Views! Luxury Kienne Pemuda Apartment (Louis, 17th Floor)." Sounds fancy, right? Well, let’s see if it lives up to the hype. I’m gonna be brutally honest here, because honestly, who needs another sugar-coated review? I want the real deal, the good, the bad, and the…well, let's just say the interesting.
First Impressions: Does The "Unbelievable" Hold Water?
The name sets a high bar. "Unbelievable" better mean unbelievable. And the "Semarang Views!" part? Okay, I need a view. I’m not a fan of staring at a brick wall. So, expectations: high.
Accessibility:
- Getting There: Getting to the apartment itself wasn't an issue. Taxi was smooth. Once I was there… well, let's just say the thought of dragging luggage to a higher floor in the Indonesian sun did not fill me with joy. The elevator was a lifesaver!
- Wheelchair Accessible: I didn't specifically test this, but the hotel does list "Facilities for disabled guests" which gives a good starting point. More clarity on specific access in the public areas would have been helpful.
Room: Louis, 17th Floor - The Kingdom of Lounging
- The View: Okay, the view. YES! Unbelievable? Okay, I can buy that. Especially at sunset. The sprawling city stretched out, twinkling lights creating a hypnotic effect. It was genuinely beautiful. I spent a solid hour just staring out the window, utterly mesmerized. I ordered a coffee and just… breathed. This is what you pay for, folks. This is where the "luxury" really shines. The 17th floor? Worth it for the panorama.
- Comforts of Home (and Then Some): The room itself? Nicely done. A big, comfy bed (Extra long bed, check! Important for anyone over 6 feet, right?), a decent desk for working (or, let's be honest, pretending to work while you drink your coffee and stare at the view), and a well-appointed bathroom. The blackout curtains were a lifesaver! I'm a light sleeper, and the ability to completely kill the light was a godsend. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! A constant, reliable connection. That’s a huge win (more on that later). Air conditioning, of course. Because Indonesia. Coffee/tea maker? Gotta have one. The little touches – bathrobes, slippers – made it feel genuinely luxurious.
- Little annoyances: The lighting could have been brighter for reading. I wish there were more lights to work at night.
Internet: The Digital Lifeline
- Internet, Internet [LAN], Wireless: The Wi-Fi was surprisingly solid. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!! That is a HUGE plus. I needed to connect to the internet for work and the connection was stable. I did try the LAN connection, out of curiosity. It worked. But seriously, with the Wi-Fi, I just didn't need it.
- Internet Services: No major complaints, but I didn’t utilize any specialized internet services.
Dining, Drinking & Snacking (aka How I Fueled My Adventures)
- Breakfast: I did the "Breakfast [buffet]" and it was… typical hotel buffet, with an Asian twist. Good enough to fill you up, but nothing that blew my mind. I’m a breakfast snob, to be honest. The coffee was passable. I’d recommend exploring some of the local coffee shops, especially in the old city.
- Restaurant Hopping: I managed to try a few of the restaurants. The one that blew my mind was the Western restaurant. I had the steak and it was perfectly cooked. The restaurant was very clean too.
- Food Delivery: I did avail myself of the "Food delivery" option, because, let's face it, sometimes you just want to stay in and enjoy the view. The service was fast and efficient, and the food was pretty decent. Especially the noodles.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax (aka My Attempt at Zen)
- The Pool with a View: The outdoor swimming pool was lovely. The view from there was great. A definite highlight.
- Gym/Fitness: I have to be honest, I'm not a gym rat. But I did take a peek. Looked well-equipped.
- Spa/Sauna and Massage: I wanted to try the Spa, but unfortunately, I didn’t get the chance.
Cleanliness and Safety: Peace of Mind (and Hand Sanitizer)
- Hygiene Certification & Safety Protocols: The apartment seemed super clean. Hand sanitizers everywhere! I was very impressed with the fact that the "Staff trained in safety protocol" and also "Daily disinfection in common areas". I felt safe and the hygiene certification means a lot.
- Room Sanitization: My room was very clean and I appreciated the fact that they had "Rooms sanitized between stays".
Services & Conveniences: The Little Extras That Matter
- Front Desk & Concierge: The staff were friendly and helpful (Concierge, check!). The "24-hour front desk" was really useful.
- Other Amenities: "Cash withdrawal" was handy, a convenience store. "Laundry service" and "Dry cleaning" was great for a long stay like mine.
For the Kids… (I Don't Have Any, But…):
- Family Friendly: Babysitting service is an option.
Getting Around: Navigating Semarang
- Getting to other locations: The "Airport transfer" was seamless and stress-free. The "Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site]" was very convenient.
The Bottom Line & My Takeaway (and a Few Unsolicited Tips)
Okay, so, is the "Unbelievable Semarang Views! Luxury Kienne Pemuda Apartment (Louis, 17th Floor)" really all that? For me, yes. The view alone is worth the price of admission. But it's the combination of comfort, cleanliness, and convenient amenities that makes it a truly enjoyable stay.

The (Highly Unreliable) Semarang Adventure: A Diary of Hopes, Fears, and Questionable Decisions
Day 1: Jakarta to Semarang - Embarking on a Journey, Praying it Doesn't End at Customs
- 7:00 AM: Alarm screams. Humanity groans. Coffee. Lots of coffee. Think I packed too many emergency chocolate bars. (Never too many, I’m lying, I need more.)
- 8:00 AM: Rush to the airport. Traffic is a soul-crushing, horn-honking beast, but hey, at least I'm not late… yet. The sheer panic alone is enough to burn calories, right?
- 9:30 AM: Airport chaos. Find my gate. Breathe. (Or attempt to. The guy next to me is eating durian. Bless his heart.)
- 10:30 AM: Flight! Finally. The window seat is mine, and I’m already fantasizing about cloud-gazing. (Probably just going to end up staring at my own reflection in the plexiglass.)
- 12:00 PM: Land. Semarang. The air hits me like a warm, humid hug…or maybe it's just the after-effects of the pre-flight anxiety poops. Either way, I'm here!
- 1:00 PM: Taxi to MDL Apartment Kienne Pemuda Louis. The drive is a blur of motorbikes, colorful buildings, and the persistent smell of…well, I’m not sure yet, but it's definitely something.
- 2:00 PM: Check-in. Pray the room looks like the pictures. Pray. Pray. Pray. (Note to self: Always pack a travel-sized air freshener.) The front desk staff are incredibly polite, which makes me feel both incredibly awkward and incredibly grateful that I actually managed to book a place.
- Afternoon: Unpack. Assess the damage. Is this really my life? (Yes, probably). Then, the real test: figure out the Wi-Fi. Internet access is the lifeblood of any modern adventurer, or in my case, a total hermit.
- 6:00 PM: Walk around the apartment. Oh, good, I am in the apartment. Looking at the view. A small panic attack. This apartment is high up. Great. I have a strange but crippling fear of heights. The view is beautiful, tho.
- 7:30 PM: Dinner at a warung (small food stall). Gotta be brave. Gotta try the local food. Gotta not get food poisoning. (Fingers crossed! And maybe a shot of Pepto-Bismol beforehand?) I pick a dish I think I recognize. It's spicy. Very spicy. Tears are streaming down my face. I love it.
- 9:00 PM: Back to the apartment. Crash. Dream of air conditioning and not accidentally ordering an entire goat.
Day 2: Semarang's Heart - A Whirlwind of Culture (and a Few Wrong Turns)
- 8:00 AM: Wake up. Mildly regret last night's fiery dinner but I need to power through as this is the only way. Decide I will be a morning person. (Liar.)
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast at a local cafe. Gado-gado. Delicious. My mouth still feeling a little burnt from last night. I'm considering turning into a chili.
- 10:00 AM: Explore Kota Lama (Old Town). Cobblestone streets! Colonial buildings! Think I’m in a movie. Get lost. Ask for directions. Get more lost. Realize I'm relying on my phone. My phone battery almost dies. Panic. (Note to self: Buy a power bank. And a better sense of direction.)
- 12:00 PM: Lunch near Kota Lama. More deliciousness. More spice. Maybe I should try just plain rice. Nah. Where’s the fun in that?
- 1:00 PM: Visit the Sam Poo Kong Temple. Wow. The architecture is breathtaking, and the incense smells amazing. I feel utterly lost in the sheer beauty of the place. Take about a million photos that will never do it justice.
- 3:00 PM: Attempt to navigate the public transportation. The bus is packed. People are friendly, but I’m pretty sure I’m sweating through my clothes. (At least I smell of incense, too!) I get off at the wrong stop. But, hey, I see something I didn't expect.
- 4:00 PM: Stumble upon a local market. Street food! Bright colors! Overwhelming scents! Buy too much stuff I will never need. Discover hidden treasures. This is living! Buy some weird fruit and try it. It somehow tastes like rotten onions mixed with mango. I love it.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner. Another warung. Try something completely new. Regret it. Then love it. The cycle continues. I'm pretty sure I'm developing a love for spicy food.
- 8:00 PM: Back to the apartment. Collapse. Realize I should probably learn some basic Indonesian phrases. Maybe tomorrow. (Probably not.)
Day 3: A Day of Reflection and, Well, More Food
- 9:00 AM: Finally learn how to boil an egg properly. Pat myself on the back. This is the highlight of my life.
- 10:00 AM: Visit Lawang Sewu (Thousand Doors Building). Spooky but beautiful. Some of the doors are just so…door-y. Think I may have a slight obsession with doors now. Another panic attack. This time, it's about ghosts.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch. This time, I try to find a restaurant that's not spicy. Success! Sort of. Everything has a little bit of spice.
- 2:00 PM: Indulge in a massage. Pure bliss. Fall asleep and snore loudly. Mortified.
- 4:00 PM: Wander around a shopping mall. Buy things I don’t need. Need things I haven’t bought. The cycle continues.
- 6:00 PM: Final dinner! One last chance to try something wildly adventurous (and potentially disastrous for my stomach). I order a dish with a name I can't pronounce. It arrives. It's green. It's… actually pretty good! Victory!
- 8:00 PM: Pack (badly). Try to condense all the souvenirs I bought into a suitcase that's clearly too small. Realize I have no clean clothes. Accept my fate.
- 9:00 PM: Meditate on my future. I am not ready to leave.
Day 4: Farewell Semarang (Until Next Time - Maybe)
- 7:00 AM: Wake up. Heartbreaking realization: Time to go.
- 9:00 AM: Check out. Say goodbye to the lovely staff at the apartment. Feel a pang of sadness.
- 10:00 AM: Taxi to the airport. One last look at the city. Make mental notes to return one day. Next time, I will not be a fool.
- 12:00 PM: Fly out. Wave goodbye to the gorgeous view.
- Forever: Remember the laughter (and the tears), the food (so much food!), and the unexpected adventures. Semarang, you were a wild ride. I miss you already.
Okay, spill. Is this "Unbelievable Semarang View" *really* all that?
Unbelievable? *Unbelievable.* Honestly? Yeah, it's pretty darn spectacular. I mean, you're on the 17th floor, right? Air conditioning is crucial. Okay, but the *view*? Wow. The first morning, I swear, I almost choked on my instant coffee just from gawking. The sun just exploded over the city, painting everything in this glorious, orange-y gold. My cynicism melted a little that day. A *little*.
So, the Louis apartment, specifically. What's the vibe? Is it bougie?
Bougie-ish, maybe? Look, it's definitely *nice*. Sleek furniture, a ridiculously massive TV (which I barely used, because, *view*!). There's a definite air of "we spent some money here." But it's not like, stuffy. Doesn't feel like you have to constantly be worried about spilling something. Thank GOD. I’m clumsy, people. The bathroom? HUGE. So big I considered holding a small rave in there. I didn’t, though. Mostly because I unpacked my suitcase in the biggest corner and just kind of, *lived* there for a few days.
The elevator. Was it a nightmare? Because, you know, 17 floors…
Oh god, the elevator. Actually, it was surprisingly *good*. Fast, reliable. I've stayed in places where the elevator sounded like a dying robot, so this was a welcome change. The only semi-negative? The one time I got in with a gaggle of teenagers convinced they were the cast of a TikTok. Bless them. I just squeezed into the back and pretended to be engrossed in my phone. The *view* of them was still a great alternative while they were running up and down with the camera.
So anything *bad* about the apartment? Surely there's a catch?
Alright, alright, hold your horses. It's not *perfect*. The Wi-Fi. It was… adequate. Not the blazing speeds I’m used to. Fine for streaming some Netflix, but god forbid you need to upload a massive file, or... you know, actually *work*. But honestly, I barely spent time indoors anyway, so it barely mattered. It was more like an accidental digital detox, which, I guess was… good for me. Maybe. Also, the pillows. They were a *little* lumpy. I’m a princess when it comes to pillows, I admit it.
What about the location? Is Kienne Pemuda a good spot?
Location-wise, yes. Right in the middle of everything. Close to some great restaurants (I stuffed myself with lumpia, don’t judge me), easy to get around. I walked everywhere. It's vibrant, alive. I went to a market one morning, and the sheer energy of the place was incredible. Not that I understand much of the language, but it was a delight to observe and go on. Semarang's kind of amazing. It was better than all the guide books said it would be.
What about the "Unbelievable" part? What's the *best* thing about the view specifically?
Okay, the *best* thing? That sunset!! I'm not even kidding, I sat on the balcony with a cold Bintang, and just watched the world turn into this fiery canvas. The way the light hit the city, the way the mountains in the distance looked… I almost cried, seriously. It was just so… beautiful. And then, as the sun fully disappeared, the city lights came on, sparkling like a million tiny jewels. I didn't take a single picture. I just *lived* in that moment. I can’t stress it enough: get yourself a balcony view apartment for sunset. You will thank me later.
Would you go back? And what would you do differently?
Absolutely. I'd go back in a heartbeat. I'd probably book a slightly longer stay; I felt rushed. And I'd maybe actually make use of that ridiculously large kitchen. I'm a terrible cook, but still. I'd also pack a better pillow. Prioritize some downtime, and don't feel the pressure to DO ALL THE THINGS. Actually, maybe I wouldn't change a thing. It was perfect, imperfections and all. Okay, maybe just the pillow.
