I stayed several nights here and it was a wise choice as it is very convenient. The hotel was very welcoming and staff very helpful and friendly. Unusually, the swimming pool is on the ground floor, a few steps from reception, and forms the base of the atrium around which are the rooms. My room was very comfortable and functional and had all the amenities expected. The restaurant is also on the ground floor and there's a nice breakfast and dinner menu with lots of choice. The hotel has an inexpensive laundry service which was very handy. There are many restaurants and cute cafes near the hotel and many others a short walk away as well as interesting and quirky shops. Whilst at the hotel, I did a a tour of the amazing Borabadur temple, a cycling tour around the nearby countryside which included visiting a Batik making studio, a farm doing manual rice threshing, another making traditional bricks, and another taking part in their unique form of pigeon racing, and we saw how real Tempeh is made and learned about its history. The hotel also has an interesting hydroponics herb garden in the roof which one can visit. Yogyakarta is a great place to visit with so much to see of interest and the hotel was a great choice.
