Read moreThe location is very good, extremely near to Malioboro Street, I think you can crawling into Malioboro because it's so close, just walking distance hahaha. ||||This is my pros (+)||-Location, location, and location. Just what I said above, the location is very great, in the downtown of Yogyakarta, so you don't need to take a taxi/cab to Malioboro, Tugu Station, and Keraton (1,5 km). Malioboro provides lots of souvenir street hawker (but you must able to bargain, because they like to mark up the prices), cheap street hawker food(it called ANGKRINGAN) near hotel and Malioboro itself, Batik stores, and American fast food on the local area. Just walking distance from this hotel||-The hotel price is affordable (rather cheap), with a great architecture (modern style), and modern interior design with little touch local content (wayang) in the mirror. my room was adequate and clean, but the toilet is huge. Amenities are adequate too.It has a TV, small cupboard (not wardrobe), and electric plugs beside my bed. ||-Adequate breakfast, enough for me, taste is so-so but it's OK.||-Parking area||||Cons (-)||- I think this hotel is not suitable for elderly or disabled people who use the wheelchair or big suitcase, because that's a lot of stairs to climb from ground (street) to reception, and you must take a stairs again to lift.... After take a lift to room, you are luck if you get a room with the same floor w/ lift. But if you get a mezzanine, you must take a stairs again ! wow.. [See photos to understand what I said about the hotel's layout]||-The lift is very narrow and small. I think big suitcase isn't fit into the lift. Baby stroller is very fit with 1-2 people(s).||-View from the room is corridor and stairs, but it's OK if I compared with other hotels in Sosrowijayan. |||| I'm sorry, not sure this hotel is suitable if you bring a big suitcase or stroller, because that's a lot of stairs to climb and narrow lift. But I highly recommended for business or leisure for young people (or anyone who can use stairs) with light baggage/ small suitcase/ backpack who no problem to climb stairs. Because it's price is good and GREAT...
Booked 2 rooms for my group... Nice place to stay... Free wifi... rooms clean... Elevator available to access to your room...but from roadside to lobby and lobby to restaurant (that’s where the elevator is)...u need to climb the stairs... not to worry, staffs very helpful...will assist you carry your luggages. You only get 1 door access card...so ask for another if u need extra for your partner or to power up your room aircon while you’re away. Limited breakfast choices... but there’s lots of delicious food sold by the pavement outside. ||The only incident happened during my stay was...before we went for breakfast and short shopping hours we did hang up “Do not clean room” on our 1st day there coz we really messed up the room with our stuffs ... and when we are back, the room had been tidy up. Not sure if we should be happy or not, just that we preferred if nobody enter the room as we...
Read morePrivate buses are not allowed to enter the Malioboro street between 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, the police will not allow it. Buses will have to park at the nearby parking facility just adjacent to the police station. The hotel staff on duty is not very helpful with the situation. The prospect of the tour participant dragging their luggage all the way to the hotel, passing one of the busiest areas in Yogyakarta was quite daunting. Finally it was compromised that the the participants would walk to the hotel to check in and the bus would follow with the luggage after 9pm.||Another thing: room was supposed to be non smoking, but hotel allowed smokers to smoke just outside the room. The standing ashtray was provided for this.||Room was not particularly clean. No hand soap provided, no hand towel either. You'd have to ask for the latter. Wifi connection wasn't...
