Indonesian Paradise Found: OYO 113676 Wisma Al-fahmi Syariah Kuningan Awaits!
Finding Paradise (and Wi-Fi) in Kuningan: A Raw Review of OYO 113676 Wisma Al-fahmi Syariah
Alright, buckle up, Buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the world of OYO 113676 Wisma Al-fahmi Syariah in Kuningan! (Try saying THAT five times fast after a few Bintangs). Let's be honest, Indonesian hotels are a mixed bag. You either land in a sprawling luxury palace or some… well, let’s just say “economical” accommodations. Where does this one fall? Let’s find out, shall we? This review is going to be less "polished travel blogger" and more "drunken uncle at a barbeque." So, grab a drink and settle in.
First Impressions (The Arrival Jitters):
Okay, so "Paradise Found" might be a slight exaggeration. But hey, "Indonesian Accommodation Found" is closer to the truth. Finding OYO 113676 wasn't exactly effortless. The address on the booking app was a little… vague. Picture me, sweating profusely, lugging my bag across Kuningan, muttering about "Google Maps' general disregard for human sanity." But hey, the friendly security guy (who, bless his heart, might have also been the doorman, concierge, and possibly part-time chef) finally pointed me in the right direction. Access could definitely be improved, especially if you're arriving late like I did. Maybe pop an extra pin on Google Maps, OYO?
Cleanliness and Safety (Is It Safe to Breathe?):
Look, after the year we’ve all had, cleanliness is paramount. And I'm happy to report, Wisma Al-fahmi seems to get it. Daily disinfection in common areas? Check. Rooms sanitized between stays? Check. They even boast Anti-viral cleaning products! Made me feel a little like I was entering a sterile operating room, but hey, I’m not complaining. They take Hygiene certification seriously. There's hand sanitizer everywhere (thank the heavens for that, because I touch everything). They even had individually-wrapped food options, which, let’s be honest, is pure genius. Staff trained in safety protocol? Yep, seemed like it. They wear the masks and that's important.
The Room (My Temporary Fortress):
Alright, let's talk room. It was… adequate. Think clean and functional, not exactly luxurious. But honestly, for the price, it more than delivered. The Air conditioning worked like a charm (essential in that climate!), and the Wi-Fi [free] in the room mostly held up. (More on that later). Things like Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bedside socket, Coffee/tea maker, Fridge, Free bottled water (yes!), Hair dryer, Daily housekeeping & Towels are all there. It was perfectly fine. The Non-smoking rule was definitely enforced, which made this ex-smoker very happy. The Window opens, which is a major win for us claustrophobes. I had a Seating area which was fine but could be better.
Internet (The Eternal Struggle):
Okay, let's get REAL. The Internet access – wireless (Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!) was… a bit of a rollercoaster. Sometimes lightning fast, sometimes slower than a sloth on Valium. Perfect for checking emails, less perfect for streaming Netflix. I mean, c'mon, it's 2024! We deserve reliable internet! There was Internet access – LAN but who uses those anymore? This could be better.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (Fueling the Adventure):
Okay, confession time. I didn't exactly dine at the Wisma Al-fahmi. But they did offer Breakfast [buffet]. I'm a buffet kind of person. It had the usual suspects: rice, noodles, and maybe, just maybe, a piece of fruit that hadn't seen better days. It was edible, it filled a hole, and it got me started for the day. There's a Coffee/tea in restaurant which is a welcome touch. They could consider Breakfast takeaway service if you're rushing around.
Things to Do (Beyond the Hotel Walls):
This isn't really a resort. There's no Fitness center, no Swimming pool (indoor or outdoor) which is kind of a bummer, especially in the Indonesian heat! No Spa or anything like that. There isn't a Things to do list. Kuningan itself is a decent base for exploring the area, but don't expect to spend hours lounging around the hotel.
Services and Conveniences (Little Things, Big Impact):
Okay, here's where Wisma Al-fahmi shines. The staff was incredibly helpful. They offered Concierge services. Doorman, Laundry service, a Safe deposit boxes and Cash withdrawal were all readily available, which is HUGE when you're traveling. There's also Daily housekeeping, which is a treat. And the 24-hour front desk was a lifesaver when my phone charger mysteriously disappeared at 3 AM. The Elevator was a bonus for a lazy bum like me! The Car park [free of charge] also make things easy if you decide to take a car.
Accessibility (For Everyone to Enjoy, Hopefully):
While I didn't specifically check for Wheelchair accessible features, the elevator and generally flat layout suggest it would be manageable. There are definitely Facilities for disabled guests that are good to know.
For the Kids (Babysitting and Beyond):
Sadly, this isn't a hotel for the little ones. There's no Babysitting service or Kids facilities. This is more of a business travel kind of hotel.
My Verdict (The Honest Truth):
Look, OYO 113676 Wisma Al-fahmi wasn’t perfect. The internet was a bit patchy. But for the price, the location, and the cleanliness, it was a solid choice. It's not a fancy resort, but it's a clean, safe, and comfortable place to lay your head after a day of exploring.
Here's the deal, folks: If you're looking for a luxury getaway, look elsewhere. But if you're seeking a budget-friendly, well-maintained base camp in Kuningan with a decent breakfast and friendly staff? You could do a whole lot worse.
Final Score: 3.5 out of 5 stars. (Mostly because of the friendly staff and the surprisingly decent Wi-Fi, sometimes.)

Escape to Paradise: Hotel Residence Mara, Lido di Jesolo's Hidden Gem
Alright, buckle up buttercups, 'cause we're heading to Kuningan, Indonesia! Specifically, the oh-so-charmingly-named OYO 113676 Wisma Al-fahmi Syariah. I'm gonna be honest, the “syariah” part kind of threw me. Like, am I gonna accidentally break some rule and get… well, I didn't entirely know what that entails, but I was vaguely nervous. Anyway, here's the absolute trainwreck of a plan, or what passes for one in my brain:
Day 1: Arrival & First Impressions (aka, "Finding the Damn Hotel")
- Morning (Jakarta Airport - Gambir Station): Okay, so first things first, the flight was delayed. Surprise, surprise! I blame those tiny airplane peanuts. They're evil, I tell ya. Finally landed in Jakarta, feeling like a crumpled piece of paper. Getting to Gambir station was a whole other adventure involving a taxi driver who seemed to think the steering wheel was a suggestion. Made it safely though… which is a win in my book.
- Afternoon (Gambir Station - Kuningan): Train ride was… well, it was a train ride. Lots of people, a few questionable smells (again, airplane peanuts?), and an overly enthusiastic kid kept pointing at my face. I'm pretty sure he was fascinated by my pores. Charming. Reached Kuningan, and the real fun began: finding the Wisma. "Syariah" or not, Google Maps led me down a series of increasingly narrow, and increasingly dodgy, alleyways. I swear I saw a lizard wearing a tiny hat. Finally, after what felt like a trek across the Mongolian Steppe, I found it!
- Evening: (Check-in & First Impression): The Wisma itself? Let’s just say the pictures online were… generous. It was… clean-ish. The AC was definitely on, and a slight musty smell hit my nostrils as soon as I walked inside. The staff were friendly, though, and the lobby had a very strong air of cheap furniture. But hey, for the price, I wasn't expecting a suite at the Ritz. The main issue? The room looked precisely like the online listing, which means it looked tiny.
Day 2: Exploring Kuningan and… The Chicken? (aka "My Existential Crisis over Fried Poultry")
- Morning (Taman Cirendang): I ventured out, determined to be a cultured tourist. Took a walk in the Taman Cirendang, a scenic park. The sounds were amazing: a cacophony of birds squawking, children laughing, and the distant call to prayer. Stood there, feeling like I was in a scene from a movie. It was actually gorgeous, and I felt a thrill of joy when I managed to capture some of the scenery on my camera.
- Afternoon (The Chicken): Okay, this is where things get… weird. I got hungry. REALLY hungry. The nearby restaurant was a street-side warung, and the menu was… basic. Chicken or rice, chicken and rice. A little sign said "Ayam Goreng" or something along those lines. I ordered it. But this chicken… THIS CHICKEN… It was the most memorable chicken I’ve ever tasted. The best thing was the chili sauce, which almost made my face explode. It was greasy, it was crispy, it was… life-affirming. I ate it all. Like, bones and all, like a hungry wolf. The woman who served it looked on with amusement when she saw me. I ended up going back for another plate later that day. And then again the next day. Honestly, I’m starting to think I’m going to move to Kuningan just for that damn chicken.
- Evening (Back to the Wisma): The Wisma was even smaller than I had expected, but it was fine, though… I had the chicken. I've been walking around, getting a sweat on, and exploring the local markets. The sun, the smells of the spice market, and the incessant honking of the mopeds - it's all a little overwhelming.
Day 3: Waterfalls, and a Slight Breakdown (aka "My Relationship with Nature and My Sanity, Re-Assessed")
- Morning (Curug Sidomba Waterfall): Figured I'd get out in nature. Heard about some waterfalls. Curug Sidomba was the name. It was supposed to be gorgeous. The hike, however… well, let's just say I'm not exactly Bear Grylls. There were mosquitos, my legs ached, and I was pretty sure I saw a spider the size of my hand. The waterfall was beautiful. But by the time I got there, I was more focused on not tripping over the slick rocks than appreciating the scenery. When I saw how stunning it was, I felt a surge of hope and relief and thought, "Yay! I'm in a good mood!"
- Afternoon (Contemplating Life, and the Chicken): Spent most of the afternoon sitting on a rock near the waterfall, watching the tourists playing, and feeling… well, existential. Wondering about the meaning of life, my career choices, and whether or not I’d be able to get back to the chicken before closing. Convinced I wanted to spend the rest of my life traveling.
- Evening (Packing…): I did some of it. Some. Found a cockroach in my bag. Decided I needed a very strong drink. Still trying to make peace with how little time there is - and that I'll have to leave the Chicken.
Day 4: Departure (aka "Goodbye, Kuningan, and Goodbye, Chicken – For Now")
- Morning (Check-out and Final Chicken Farewell): I left. Honestly, saying goodbye to that chicken was harder than saying goodbye to a bad relationship. I shed a single, dramatic tear as I ate my last plate.
- Afternoon (Gambir Station - Jakarta Airport): Train to Jakarta, no major incidents.
- Evening (The Flight Home): Staring at the sky, feeling like I needed to write down everything. The people I met, the things I saw, the food. But mostly that Chicken. I had a grand total of memories to last a lifetime. I will definitely be back.
Notes & Imperfections:
- The "syariah" thing? Still a little confused, but I think I behaved. No karaoke, no holding hands in public, a general respect for local customs.
- My Indonesian is non-existent. I mostly communicated through pointing, smiling, and copious amounts of nodding. Worked…mostly.
- The Wi-Fi in the Wisma was… spotty. Like, "maybe you will load a website, maybe you won’t" spotty. Good for disconnecting.
- The chicken… I'm serious, it was that good. Take that, Michelin stars.
This is my truth, Kuningan. It was messy, it was slightly embarrassing, it was filled with fried chicken-fueled moments of self-discovery. And I wouldn't trade it for the world. Now, where's that recipe…?
