Greenhost Boutique Hotel Prawirotaman

I love this hotel as this is one of the hotels which can give serene and quiet vibes. The location is great. Even though it's located in an alley, the road is enough for 2 cars. The deluxe room is great and spacious. But, I have to note that they have a little problem with the bathroom drain. The water cannot go down fast enough, so it creates puddle on the shower area. Other than that, everything went perfectly during my stay. I didn't try the pool, but I could say that the pool was always luring me to take a dip everytime I passed it by. The staff are all friendly, helpful, and always full of smiles. I'll definitely come back to this hotel.

If you're into the whole sustainable hotel then do give this hotel a try. The rooms were decent sized but there was no view. In this case emphasis on sustainability meant lack of amenities. I stayed in other hotels during my stay and found them better value. The sustainable aspect was a bit over the top for eg the water refill and change of bedsheets. I found it weird that there was an extra deposit for extra keys. Breakfast was a bit overpriced.

Slightly mixed views on this place. It's in a good location, the street just North of here is packed with restaurants and cafes and there are many lovely narrow (and traffic free) alleyways to explore around here. The room in the new building (NB we upgraded) was truly excellent. We liked the water bottle refill machine (free in the foyer). We like the values of the place but sadly not the public areas which were hot, noisy and smelled of the swimming pool which dominates the space. Lack of natural light too. We tried the breakfast once but not a second time, it wasn't nice. Such a shame as everything else, especially the room and the location, were good. J

The pictures of this hotel are very misleading. The place looks great in photos, but I don’t know where to begin in expressing my disappointment. The hotel has two buildings, and the more expensive rooms are in a newly constructed concrete building that lacks any character. The building resembles a large cement block, and you can hear everything happening in the adjacent rooms. The rooms in the building shown on their website with the pool in the middle are cheaper so don’t think you’re staying in that building by paying a bit more. I personally didn’t find the staff to be genuinely friendly (which is unusual in a country where warmth is the norm). There are also several unnecessary rules, such as not being allowed to open the windows, even though it’s a low-rise building. However, the worst part of all is the breakfast. The coffee was some of the worst I’ve ever had, the bread was stale, the pancakes being served dried, and the lukewarm food seemed to have been leftover reheated from the previous days. The gym is a room shared with the spa and the equipment is old, rusting and outdated. The only positive thing about this hotel seems to be their commitment to reduce waste and plastic and conserve energy. With so many hotel options in Yogyakarta, I strongly recommend avoiding this hot mess of a place. UPDATE: My friend and I got sick from the nasty breakfast they served. After we checked out, my friend went on to Singapore and I returned to the US. A week later we found out that both of us got sick with stomach problems for about 3 days. We determined that it must have been the nasty breakfast they served because it was the only meal both of us shared.

Absolutely loved it. Incredibly cool building entering it always felt like coming home to a little oasis away from the busy city. The room was nice and had a great view. The reception staff was absolutely incredible. Super friendly and helpful, from organizing the borubadur tour, to local food recommendations and even knowing where to fix sandals in the city. Thank you so much!

Friendly staff at the reception! Room was ready for early check-in when I arrived a few hours before 2.00pm. Amenities were fine, but complimentary water provided in the room was pretty limited, in small 300ml glass bottles. Housekeeping proactively topped up soap and shampoo after my first night.

Rooms were nice, very modern and smelt amazing everywhere. They also do some art exhibitions from time to time which support the local artist. Spa was not worth it. The green washing is a little over the top with one water refill station only at the front desk. Two 30 ml glass bottles in the room were not enough.

We loved staying here, this felt like coming home to a plant oasis at the end of each travel day. The front desk staff were so warm and helpful, always giving us great suggestions for our itinerary. We went to the rooftop and had a look at the urban farm which was so cool. Also loved the water dispensers on every level so that you don't have to buy plastic water bottles. Because of the availability of drinking water, I thought that the packaged glass water bottles in the room were unnecessary. My only other critique of this hotel is that it markets itself an eco-conscious hotel and also has placards in the room that you can place on your bed if you would like your towels changed, however our towels were changed every single day even though we did not use the placards. I would definitely still come back here, I just wish it was more serious about its environmental practices, because that's one of the main reasons I stayed here. So it's disappointing that these measures are not implemented properly but now looks more like a branding/greenwashing technique.
