5-Star Hotels in Central Java, Indonesia

It's very convenient to shop, a big mall just in the same building. Poncol train station is about one kilometre away. The basic room is quite large and spacious with separate bathroom and shower. Service was fine. The downside was the bedsheets and pillows cases were dirty and we found small hairs, we felt like they were not changed after previous guest/guests, we had to ask guest relations to change them. Breakfast was full of local food.

Even though it was advertised as a mountain view room, it was really just high up and didn't offer any mountain views. The city itself is quite small. There are plenty of dining options downstairs, and breakfast was decent. You also have the choice of eating at the cafe just outside the hotel.

The hotel is excellent, clean, and has complete facilities. The Kids Club offers many activities for children. Ms. Sella from reservations was incredibly helpful. The salon facilities are good, and the service is excellent, especially from Ms. Firda and Ms. Nining. Breakfast has a wide variety and everything is delicious. Overall, 5 stars for everything! - Henny

Away from the hustle and bustle of yogya. Being in the city can be overwhelming, hence this location is just right, surrounded by nature - birds, clouds and an amazing view. The location is super interesting because the car has to go through so many winds through the village. If U take a morning jeep tour, the jeep will fetch U from the villa with the car top exposed and you can feel the wind in your hair, absorbing the peace from th village and fresh air. They also have a massage, quite expensive but worth it at 450,000 idr per hour. The geckos can be loud at night but that's nature. They have an amazing pool that oversees borobodur and Yogyakarta. The villa door has some ants but I think it's because of the wood? The junior room suite villa roof feels a bit hollow because we can hear the birds jumping and squawking on top of it in the early evening. Food is not fantastic, especially their breakfast. But since they locally produce long beans, try their long beans. It's crunchy and fresh. Their grilled ayam chicken rice is good too. Their sambal, however, is a must try. Fresh, spicy, tangy! At night, you can hear adzan, which is call for prayer, across the whole of Yogyakarta. An amazing and holy experience.

The room was spacious and very clean. It's an older hotel, but it has a charming history. Dining at the restaurant was also a very pleasant experience. The gym and sauna facilities were well-equipped and comfortable. Plus, it's located right in the city center, making it convenient to get everywhere.

The room was comfortable, spacious, and bright. Breakfast was incredibly rich and varied, and eating it by the pool added a unique charm. Check-in was very smooth, and they even offered complimentary local specialty tea.

After booking, I contacted the hotel to arrange the pick-up and other transportation. The hotel responded to the email promptly. The car and driver were also the hotel's own car. Because the hotel is located in the countryside and is relatively remote, I dare not Grab it myself. It turns out that the hotel's car and driver service are very satisfactory. The pick-up in Yogyakarta city is 850,000, and the delivery to Borobudur and waiting, and then the delivery to Yogyakarta hotel is 1300,000.

Booked the hotel because of the playground and swimming pool. It is an old hotel with wood accents. Room was quite spacious but the bed sheet was old and lot of brown stain. Can see several bugs in the humid area. Stay 3 nights. Second night, hot water was not working. Called the maintenance but it took 30 minutes for them to come. Asked hair dryer to front desk and took 20 minutes to come. Swimming pool is warm water, but very cold in the morning. It was okay, should be cleaned more frequently because lot of leaves and flowers. The down side, when the pools are crowded, saw some men smoking near the playground. Playground is spacious, but started getting old. There are patchy areas in the grass carpet. The slide area is not slippery anymore, some slides even too slippery, saw some kids slip in the sitting position and complained get hurt. The breakfast selection was not many, but most of them delicious. Especially in the egg station, the (seems like trainee) staff make my egg very delicious!

Perfectly located with old-world charm! The Royal Surakarta Heritage wins big on location—right in the heart of Solo, steps from shopping, dining, and cultural spots. The breakfast spread is fantastic: authentic Javanese dishes alongside international favorites, all fresh and flavorful. But the real star is the staff—incredibly helpful, always smiling, and quick to assist with anything; from coffee at breakfast to extra towels and water for the room. Rooms are clean and comfortable, though a bit classic in style (which fits the heritage vibe). Grab around town to almost anywhere is around INR20K. If you want convenience, great food, and warm service without the fuss, this is your spot.

Everyone was friendly..Staff were helpful and polite..They greeted you everytime they see you..Some even offered to assist you even though if you didn’t ask.Service was simply perfect,no complains! Gym and pool were under maintenance.Construction was going on at the main hotel.Wasn’t aware of the maintenance till you checked in (Maintenance Notice placed on room table).Maybe updates should be reflected on third party apps or via whatsapp to avoid disappointment. Wifi was poor.For a well rated hotel,this was a huge letdown.Management & maintenance should look into this.Was staying at room 806.Not sure if other floors or rooms are encountering this problem.Ended up using data roaming through my 3 days there.
