This is the best hotel we ever stayed. The staff are very friendly, helpful and thoughtful. We request for a morning call as our daily tour start as early as 4:00AM local time and the front desk staff never failed to follow up with us about the our preferred breakfast so that they can get their chef to prepared for us to take out. The breakfast is a complimentary with...

We enjoyed our stay at the Swiss-belhotel. The hotel was brand new and everything was still clean and spotless. We stayed in the Grand Deluxe Room and the room was huge and spacious, there was plenty of room between the foot of the bed and the TV, ideal if you need an extra bed in. Breakfast was OK, large selection but taste was so-so. The only con was checking-in; we ...

The exterior of Melia Purosani looks very pretty. It overlooks the cityscape and the position of our assigned room is facing where the sun rise and sets. The deluxe room is huge for 2 persons, and every day there is a complimentary snack. It's a nice gesture after a day out traveling! The restaurant where it serves breakfast has very good chef! the Nasi Padang is our...

We booked four rooms during our trip to Yogyakarta. The staffs are amazing, they do their best to meet our needs. We requested for connecting rooms and they fulfil our request. We love the pools and also the outdoor garden. The only improvement for them is to clean the room carpet as stains are visible. We had wedang ronde (ginger drink) at night and the peanut we had ...

Grand Inna is the perfect location if you want to visit Malioboro street. Although we did enjoy the horse and cart ride down Malioboro street, I personally think Malioboro street is no great attraction since I just consider it to be a dirty and extremely crowded area that offers little other than subpar food and shops that sell cheap but worthless items. So I prefer to...

Start from check in, its make me happy, so quick, only 2 minutes. :) I booked deluxe room and the staff upgrade to executive room, :) i feel so lucky.. without any extra charges. The bell boy are friendly, his name is DITO, the room are CLEAN and BIG, AC so cold :) all perfect for me. Only one thing, probably they need to put one more light so..its not too dark in the ...

Nice room, though moist air which could be cleared if aircondition was installed in the room. Restaurant with nice food, though very pricey (as expected I guess..). Serves some of the best French fries I've ever eaten. Front desk staff was incompetent, dishonest and forgetful when we booked trips! Staff recommended trip to nearby waterfall and charged 500000 IDR for ...

Enjoyed our stay, we booked for one night. The hotel was very clean, the staff is very friendly and the breakfast is outstanding! We liked it so much that we booked for two extra nights. We have been travelling for 2 months straight now in asia m, but this has to be the best and most choice breakfast we have seen so far. They have almost everything! I would give this...

When I want to the hotel I feel the energy, fresh, bright colour in the lobby, the room nice lime green with wooden furniture. Just nice match and the shower they use rain forest style, which you will in holiday. Specially the staff full of smile and really helpful, the room service really fast really good, most of 5 star hotel I have waiting for 45 min, but they le...

Walking distance to Malioboro street without the noise and the crowd. The hotel is new and very clean. Room is small but have enough amenities to make it comfortable. just one thing, wish teh hotel assigned families to different wing or rooms. families with kids left their door open and kids playing in the hall is rather disturbing.

Over the past year we have spent 3 months travelling throughout SE Asia and this hotel is my favorite of any place we have stayed. The hotel looks brand new. From the location, the facilities, cleanliness and the value for money, this hotel simply can't be beat! But if that isn't enough, the staff here are some of the most friendly, helpful we have met anywhere. We fe...

My experience at the Phoenix was amazing. I have been in Indonesia for one year and was looking forward to being treated to the old world charm of a bygone era. The hotel is old, very old...this does not distract from anything but offers the charm of reading rooms and high ceilings and well established gardens, and an amazing collection of ceramics all tastefully pla...

Booked 2 rooms for 3 nights at 101 was one of my best money ever spent. rooms are new and clean, staffs verfy helpfull eventhough for guess with cars there's very limited parking space (free valet service available). the view from hi-tea spot is great. my only regret for hi-tea was why there's only one complimentary session per room, when there should be 3 complimentar...

Room was okay,place are convenence. Breakfast was average (you can’t expect a grand breakfast with 3 star hotel. Availability of table and chair for breakfast is limited. Hairdryer is not available in room,have to call reception and need to eait another 3 hour because it was lend to other guest. So please make sure you bring your own hair dryer if stay at this hotel. O...

It was a pleasant stay. We got a twin room that is spacious. Bathroom's pretty big too compared with other hotels. There were ants but I don't know if that cannot be helped in this area. There's a laundromat across the street which was very cheap. There's also a tour agency where you can get bookings for the next day. I found them cheaper than booking tours online....

I stayed at this hotel for 1 night, the staff is friendly, and the room is quite clean. At this price, others hotel offer some electric water heater to make a coffee or tea. The electricity is not quite stable, twice the power goes down. But if you are looking place which very near with downtown, this is the best place.

The location is great - walking distance to Trans Jogja bus stop (if you are planning to use this mode of transport which can bring you to Prambanan), Malioboro street, and Keraton. Also, there is a Catholic church about 5 mins walk from the hotel, a massage place opposite the hotel (good massage at reasonable price) and if you are intending to buy local snack 'bakpia'...

My friends and I choose this hotel to stay for 2 nights for the following reasons: Location wise it is close to Malioboro where we can shop and dine anytime we want. Very near to tourist attractions. We book a Smart Twin Room, it is simple but it has everything we need, a comfortable bed, a shower and a space big enough for our luggages. We will be out the whole time ...

I have travelled to many countries as a tourist and for business. I have stayed in many hotels but this is by far the best 4 stars hotel I have ever come across. The staff were very attentive, helpful and full of smiles and well mannered. Not just in the hotel, I found people in Jogja are very friendly too. The buffet breakfast has so much variety and very good quali...

Pros: Close to the malls and easy accesss to the shops nearby Friendly staff If you want to buy cheap clothes, the store is next to this hotel. Can bargain and the price is cheaper than the ones sold at the Malioboro St. Cons: Quite a hidden place where the car cant go in and the supir can only drop you from far (not advisable to those with lots of bags. In the early...

its quite near from jalan malioboro, walk 5minutes and you arrived. or you can took becak for 5k rupiah only to arrive in jalan malioboro. good budget hotel. its a clean room for me. will booked for another trip if i visit jogja with my friends. and tha staff is nice, cause reccomend us for so place worth to visit in jogja. and even the security in the front of hotel i...

Had a room at the 5th floor, with a terrace overlooking the skyline near the lift lobby. very quiet, not noisy at all. Excellent customer service. Room was bare minimum with attached toilet and shower, enough for me and my wife. No wardrobe,fridge, safe box in the room. Bottled mineral water is provided in the room. Surrounding the hotel are some of the be...

Stayed 2 nights. Staff were very friendly, got a free upgrade to a better room. Swimming pool and bar on the roof. Ideal location, just off the shopping street and next to the main tour booking street. Also short walk to the sultans palace. For me very important: the hotel was very clean! During the day we saw things being cleaned (table legs, skirting boards etc) whic...

Great hotel with excellent range of breakfast (Indonesian and western). Location is perfect....it's 13 mins walking to Malioboro Street so you won't see and hear much noises at night. My young nephews didn't mind to walk that far. When they tired, we catched a becak for Rp 15k or Grab taxi for Rp 13k. The hotel is well guarded with friendly staff everywhere. Room is bi...

The hotel consists of 2 main buildings that's connected with stairs. The main obvious difference between the two are from the floor, one is with carpet floor and the other is without carpet floor. We stayed in the room without carpet floor. The room seems old, yet clean and big. The best part of this hotel is on its location, very nearby the famous Malioboro street....

Both rooms have mosquitoes, I have complained to the reception several times as my room was very hot because the air-con was really damn sucked, I wanted to order for room service as my kids was hungry and its room service ended at 9.30pm at Indonesia time, they cleaned both rooms but they never changed the bed covered as its very dirty until my son got bedbugs when re...

With these practical tips in mind, visitors can enjoy a smooth and enriching experience in Yogyakarta.
