Adhisthana Hotel Yogyakarta

I really, really like the ambience. It's very homey, the pool is cool, and the room.. wow! It's very clean and super comfy. Not to forget the staff, they all very helpful.

As a backpacker traveller, i really wish this hotel is close enough to public transportation (Trans Jogja) shelter.

Initially I only booked 2 nights but ended up staying 4. The dorm has 3 bunk beds (6 beds) and a private bathroom, but I had company only on the first night, the rest of the nights I had the room just for me. Maybe because you get a cheaper hostel (for less 2€) but I thought the price was well worth it because the room was great, the bed was very comfortable, the atmosphere of the whole hotel is beautiful, especially the breakfast room and the breakfast is well worth it. The location is behind one of the streets with the most restaurants, despite being a 40min walk from the kraton but it’s a good way to know the real Yogyakarta.

The bathroom needs some work, sometimes had a horrible smell. There was never hand soap and shower gel, luckily I had. It would be nice if they had bigger lockers because if the room was full i don’t know where to store all backpacks. I booked an excursion to Borobudur through the Hotel, at the reception they told me it includes tour guide and there was no one to guide my visit, I was just dropped off by the driver. Also, as they pick up around 3:30 AM, like other people in other hotels that are also in my van, pick up a small reservation set available from your hotels. Since breakfast was included in my room rate, it would be nice to have done the same to me. The luck was that included in the price of admission to Borobudur (you only pay there, not at the hotel) was a complimentary breakfast in the temple.

The hotel was really nice, the pool was beautiful and clean, the hotel staff was nice and helpful. The hotel was near of restaurants and cafes, and the food and price of the hotel restaurant was good too. The hotel is in a street full of hotels and the street next to this is full of differents restaurants and cafes. There are supermarkets and Laundries pretty near of the hotel.

The whole week I was there the internet in my room was really bad.

Common area like reception and garden are very nicely decorated ;)

The bathroom floor is quite shady and unclean, not sure if it’s the style for all bathrooms...

This hotel is beautiful, we stayed in a room which opened right onto the pool which was a wonderful place to cool off and relax. Our favourite part of this hotel was the location - we had originally worried we were quite for from Yogja central, however the street the hotel is on and one behind it (only 5 minutes walk) had enough bars restaurants and cafes to keep us entertained with lots of variety. When we left the hotel the staff booked out taxi to the airport and prepared a to-go breakfast for us as it was so early, including coffee, fruit and a full cooked breakfast packaged up for the airport! All in all a stunning building and a lovely stay.

It was a little noisy being so close to the pool (people got up early to swim and it was quite echoy) however if you think this would be a problem there are also rooms away from the pool. It wasnt so bad as we wanted to be up and our early anyway.
