Unbelievable Makassar Hotel Deal: Super OYO 2704 Transit 2!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving deep into the rabbit hole that is Unbelievable Makassar Hotel Deal: Super OYO 2704 Transit 2! And let me tell you, after sifting through ALL those details… I’m ready for a nap. But first, the review. And honestly? It’s… well, it’s a story.
Let's start with the unbelievable part. Is it truly unbelievable? I’m skeptical by nature, but hey, deals are deals. Let’s see…
Accessibility & Getting Around: The Rollercoaster of Hope
Okay, so this is where things get… interesting. They say they have facilities for disabled guests. That's the promise. But I'm getting a vibe of "hopefully" from this. Elevator? Good. Car park [free of charge] and [on-site]? Score! But is the elevator big enough for a wheelchair? Are the ramps actually accessible? The devil, as they say, is in the details. I imagine there's a bit of a gamble here. Airport transfer? Excellent. Taxi service? Also good. Just make sure you confirm the access before you book. Don’t be shy, ask the tough questions! No one wants to be stranded.
Cleanliness & Safety: Germ Games or Happy Haven?
Alright, let's face it, in these times, cleanliness is KING. And Super OYO 2704 Transit 2 seems to understand that. Anti-viral cleaning products? YES, please! Daily disinfection in common areas? Music to my ears. Individually-wrapped food options? Smart. Hand sanitizer (thank god). They also boast about room sanitization between stays which is a huge relief. And the Staff trained in safety protocol seems like a must. I’m feeling a little less anxious already. Also, Shared stationery removed? Good riddance. Who knows where those things have been?!
Dining, Drinking & Snacking: Fueling the Adventure (Or Not?)
Now, this is where things get a little… blurry. Restaurants? Plural! Sounds promising. A la carte in restaurant? Fine dining vibes… maybe. Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant. Cool, into it. I love Asian food in the morning. Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant. Alright, options! Breakfast [buffet]? Tempting, if it all feels clean and safe. The Snack bar and Room service [24-hour] could be life savers. Honestly, this could swing either way depending on what 'restaurants' actually means. I’m picturing something small, but hopefully good, but who knows. The Poolside bar? Well, that depends on the pool situation, we will come back to that.
The Actual Rooms: Fortress of Relaxation or… Let Down?
Alright, here’s where it gets down and dirty. The room details are exhaustive. Seriously, they’ve thought of everything. Air conditioning? Check. Free Wi-Fi? Crucial. Blackout curtains? Sold! Coffee/tea maker? YES. Desk? Useful. Free bottled water? A small luxury that makes a big difference. This is all pretty basic stuff, but it means they kind of get it. But I'm wondering, what about the quality of these things? Are the beds actually comfortable? Is the internet fast? Are the toiletries good, or generic? Are the walls paper-thin and you can hear your neighbors coughing? This is where a real stay's details come in. I'd want to feel the room, you know?
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Spa Day or… Stare at a Wall?
Here's where things are going off the rails a bit. They have a Swimming pool [outdoor] but… Pool with view? They don’t mention it unless it is in my "things to do" category and then it is, well, what does that even mean? Let’s hope they are being modest! Otherwise, the relaxation category is thin. Massage? Might be nice. Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom? This is where it gets a bit confusing. Are the "Spa" elements linked? I think it must do, but hard to tell for certain. Foot bath? Well, yes, why not! This is a bit of a mixed bag. The pool could be a massive selling point… or it could be a tiny, sad thing. We'll see.
Services and Conveniences: Help me! Or Just… Leave Us Alone?
Okay, this part is pretty standard, with some bright spots. Daily housekeeping? Great. Concierge? (Useful if they're helpful). Cash withdrawal? Good. Luggage storage? Always a winner. Laundry service, Dry cleaning, Ironing service? All the little conveniences! Business facilities – important for some, for others, who cares?
For the Kids: Bless Their Hearts
Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal? Honestly, I don’t know! It is a little vague, but it says it all. This is a good sign.
The Big Question: Is it Worth It?
Okay, so after all this, here’s my take. Super OYO 2704 Transit 2 seems like a decent budget option. It's got the basics covered, plus some nice extras. While it has a lot to offer, it seems very reliant on the execution of those benefits. If the staff are great, the rooms are clean, and the pool is actually nice? You could be in for a real treat. But, always check the most recent reviews on the access, the bathrooms and cleanliness, and those pool photographs!
Now, Here's the Deal (My Sales Pitch, Because Why Not?)
Look, are you looking for a no-frills, budget-friendly stay in Makassar? Then, well, maybe this could be the place.

Ajantha Komforts: Bengaluru's BEST Luxury Stay (Unbelievable Deals!)Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously planned itinerary. This is the chaotic, imperfect, and utterly real experience of trying to navigate Makassar, Indonesia, with Super OYO 2704 Hotel Transit 2 as… well, the transit point for this whole glorious mess.
Day 1: Arrival and Existential Dread at the Airport (and maybe some deliciousness)
- Morning (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM): Landed in Makassar. The airport? Let's just say it has character. And by character, I mean slightly crumbling charm. Immigration? Surprisingly smooth! I swear, I thought I was going to have to bribe my way through with a box of Tim Tams (true story – almost bought a box as a peace offering, but resisted the urge). Luggage retrieval: A sweaty, slow-motion dance of desperation. First thought? "Did I pack enough deodorant?" (Spoiler alert: No, I did not).
- Mid-Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Taxi to Super OYO 2704 Hotel Transit 2. Google Maps lied slightly and the driver clearly had a personal vendetta against the concept of "right turns." Arrived. The hotel… well, it's cleanish. Let’s just leave it at that. Checked in, took a look at my room, and immediately questioned all my life choices that led me here. The air conditioning is wheezing like an asthmatic walrus. But hey, who am I to judge? At least the sheets appear to be clean.
- Lunch (12:00 PM - 1:30 PM): Okay, food. This is where things start to get GOOD. Found a local "warung" (small eatery) nearby. Ordered some Coto Makassar (the famous beef soup). OMG. Seriously. Life-changing. That broth? Rich, flavorful, and possibly worth the existential dread of the hotel room. Seriously, I could swim in that broth. And those peanut sambal? Perfection. Ate so much I almost cried. Then I got a bit of food poisoning. It could be the Coto. It could be the slightly dodgy ice in my Es Teh Manis (sweet iced tea). Who knows! But I’m making a list of all the great restaurants in case this passes.
- Afternoon (1:30 PM - 5:00 PM): Regrettably, spent the afternoon in the hotel. Mostly because of the aforementioned "stomach issues." Let's just say the bathroom became my best friend. Watched Indonesian soap operas on the tiny, flickering TV – mostly understood nothing but was strangely captivated. Managed to nap, which probably made things worse. Dehydrated. Regretted not getting the Tim Tams to bribe my way onto the next flight home.
- Evening (5:00 PM - 9:00 PM): Forced myself to rehydrate. Attempted to walk down the street. Found a tiny stall selling Gorengan (fried snacks). Ate a banana fritter. Slightly better, still skeptical on consuming too many foods. Walked back, feeling like a reanimated corpse. Watched the sunset (beautiful… if you could ignore the traffic). Then, watched another episode of said Indonesian soap opera. Actually started to understand a little bit, my brain started thinking in Indonesian.
- Evening (9:00 PM onwards): Started searching for a pharmacy. No luck finding anything, maybe it's a sign that my stomach is healing by itself. Tried to sleep but the noisy outside didn't let me.
Day 2: Exploring Makassar (and Fighting for My Dignity)
- Morning (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM): Woke up…alive! Stomach situation is, thankfully, improving. Breakfast in the hotel? Nope. Absolutely not. Found a street vendor selling Nasi Kuning (yellow rice with various delicious accompaniments). Ate it. Felt human again. Seriously questioning why I didn't just live on this stuff for my entire stay.
- Mid-Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Decided to be brave and explore. Took a bemo (local minibus) to Fort Rotterdam. The bemo driver seemed permanently amused by me, the bewildered foreigner. Had a total blast. Fort Rotterdam? Cool! Hot, but cool. Took some photos, sweated profusely. Almost fell into a ditch. Dignity: Slightly bruised.
- Lunch (12:00 PM - 1:30 PM): Found a restaurant near the fort (again, food is the savior!) that was getting some rave reviews, so I had to try it. They served some seafood, and I had a beautiful grilled fish dinner!
- Afternoon (1:30 PM - 5:00 PM): Took a stroll around the Losari Beach. The sunsets here are absolutely gorgeous! I just sat on the beach and enjoyed the views and some juice.
- Evening (5:00 PM - 9:00 PM): Tried to catch a film at the cinema, but since I don't know Indonesian, I just decided to grab some snacks, and spend my time strolling through the market.
- Late Evening (9:00 PM onwards): Back at the hotel. Air conditioning still wheezing. The walls are thinner than my patience. Considering a midnight run for… more Gorengan. Or maybe just a very long, philosophical conversation with the asthmatic walrus.
Day 3: Leaving Makassar (and Leaving a Part of My Soul Behind)
- Morning (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM): Woke up. Still here. Surprisingly, feeling okay! Packed the bag. Said a small prayer of thanks to the Nasi Kuning gods. Ordered breakfast from a nearby vendor.
- Mid-Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Checked out of Super OYO 2704 Hotel Transit 2. Said goodbye to the wheezing AC unit. Made a mental note to never forget the Coto Makassar. Took a taxi to the airport. The driver, bless his heart, was even more chaotic than the first (I swear, this city runs on pure adrenaline and near-misses).
- Lunch (12:00 PM - 1:30 PM): Ate some food at the airport, waiting for the flight.
- Afternoon (1:30 PM onwards): On the plane. Heading out! The feeling of leaving? Mixed. Sad to leave the food, the chaos, and the unexpected charm of Makassar. Happy to leave the asthmatic walrus. But mostly, just exhausted and ready for a nap. I wonder if they serve Coto Makassar in first class?
Final Thoughts:
This trip was a mess. It was imperfect. It was sweaty. It was a rollercoaster of emotions, stomach issues, and questionable life choices. But… it was real. And that, my friends, is what makes travel worth it. Makassar, you magnificent, chaotic, Coto-filled creature, I’ll be back. Just, maybe, with a slightly better hotel next time. And a lifetime supply of deodorant. And definitely, DEFINITELY, more Coto Makassar.
Manila's BEST 1-Bedroom Azure City View: Book NOW!Okay, so, what is this mysterious "Transit 2"? Honestly? It's a hotel. Emphasis on the "low-budget" part. Think of it as the budget airline of accommodation. You're getting from point A to point B... maybe with a few bumps and bruises. I should probably add, it's *in* Makassar, Indonesia. That's important. You'll see why.
Right, the name. "Super OYO 2704 Transit 2". "Super"? Hmm... let's just say the marketing team was clearly on the optimistic side of the coffee supply. "Transit"? Spot on. It's a place to *transit* through. To sleep. To, perhaps, avoid any deep, introspective thought about your life choices. I went in with expectations lower than a worm's belly button. They were, remarkably, met. It's a feat, considering.
Okay, the rooms. Let's paint a picture, shall we? Picture a room... a *small* room. Now, equip it with a bed. Sometimes, a television. Air conditioning? Pray for the sweet, blessed *air conditioning*. Mine, bless its little plastic heart, groaned more than it cooled. The decor? Let's call it "functionally minimalist." "Rustic" is probably a *very* generous description. Think... well-loved. The "unique aroma" I mentioned? Let's leave it at "character." (And maybe Febreze.) Honestly, you get what you pay for. No complaints there. I came in expecting nothing; I received exactly that. It was, if I'm honest, not the WORST room I've ever slept in. I've seen worse in hostels. Much, much worse.
Ah, the bed. My nemesis. Look, it *was* a bed. And technically, you *could* sleep on it, yes. Was it the luxurious, cloud-like slumber I crave in my (admittedly fairly often) hotel stays? No. Absolutely not. It was a bed. With sheets. Clean? Well... Let's just say I'm not a germaphobe, but I did give everything a quick visual inspection before I settled in. (Side Note: Packing a travel sheet is always a good idea. Just in case.) Sleeping on it was... an experience. A... firm experience. Let's call it that. It was like sleeping on a moderately comfortable rock. Yeah. That captures it.
Wi-Fi. The bane of my existence. Yes, theoretically, they *have* Wi-Fi. Did it work? Well... occasionally. Maybe. Sometimes. It oscillated between "blazing fast (for a few glorious minutes)" and "completely non-existent, leaving you to contemplate the meaning of life and the sheer, unadulterated boredom of being disconnected in the 21st century." I spent a good hour just staring at the router, willing it to connect. Nothing. Zero. Zilch. The next day, it was streaming HD videos. Go figure. It was like the Wi-Fi was a moody teenager.
The bathroom. Ah, the bathroom. The real test of any budget hotel. Yes, there *was* a bathroom. It contained a toilet, a sink, and a shower head. Water pressure? Highly... *variable*. Sometimes it sprayed like a fire hose. Other times, it trickled like a dying garden hose. The soap situation? Non-existent. Bring your own. Actually, pack everything. Consider it. Oh, and just... *inspect* before you use anything. I found some rather... *interesting* stains on the walls. Look, I'm not judging. But I'm also not necessarily *proud* of what I saw. Let's just say I took the "shower" in my swimming trunks. No regrets. Zero.
Breakfast. The magical word. Breakfast? *laughs*. Oh, honey. No. Absolutely not. You're on your own, sister/brother. I'm pretty sure the hotel staff *sleep* through breakfast if one ever actually existed. Pack a granola bar. Or, even better, embrace the glorious, delicious, cheap street food of Makassar. Way better. *So* much better. That's a tip, by the way. Go eat the local food. Trust me. It's one of the plus sides of being there. (The *only* real plus, perhaps.)
