This hotel was recommended to me and I stayed there for 11 nights on my first trip to Yogyakarta. I can highly recommend the hotel, particularly if you're a female travelling alone. The hotel is locally owned, so it has a local flavour that sets it apart from the big international chains. It's luxurious, sparkling clean, and the staff are really first rate. My understanding is that it is a major Indonesian conference venue, so you won't find the usual range of tourist shops and other services aiming to separate you from your money! That having been said, the staff were more than happy to help me with information about local things, the doormen were always happy to get a taxi when it was needed and there's a very good travel agent in the lobby area. You don't have to worry about clothes coming back 5 sizes smaller from the laundry - the laundry service is exceptional. I stayed in a poolside access room which was very pleasant as I had an external door with a couple of chairs and a table just outside it - lovely for reading a book for a quiet hour in the early morning. My room also had good WiFi access which was free. The pool is huge and well maintained. Local friends tell me the gym is very good, but I didn't use it. If you're looking for a place that's quiet and efficient, this is it.
I will definitely stay there again.
