Plataran Heritage Borobudur Hotel

The hotel isn't far from Borobudur, but you'll still need a taxi to get there. The hotel shuttle runs infrequently, but luckily Grab taxis are convenient and inexpensive. The breakfast was decent with a good variety of options. There's also a restaurant for lunch, offering a fusion of Indonesian and Western cuisine. The hotel even has an amusement park and a zoo, though we didn't visit the zoo due to rain. There's also a small exhibition hall, which seemed to display items related to Buddhist culture. On the fifth floor, there's a bar that also serves food, and their cocktails were pretty good.

Great service and atmosphere! I forgot to close the window before heading out, and some bugs got in at night. The staff kindly helped us clean up again.

Beautiful hotel located very close to the ruins, and the surrounding area is lovely for a stroll. The Indonesian restaurant and breakfast are both excellent.

This was the most expensive hotel on my Yogyakarta trip, so I had some expectations. First, the location. You can't walk to Borobudur; you need a taxi. The hotel itself doesn't offer views of any attractions. I asked if I could visit their 'mountain' area, and they said there was a restaurant there, but it was fully booked, and you needed to spend money to enter. I heard this hotel is owned by Chinese people, and the front desk staff's tone when saying these things definitely had that familiar 'countryman' feel. The food here isn't cheap by Yogyakarta standards, and honestly, besides the hotel being relatively clean, I can't find any other highlights. At night, the kids' play area was blasting music, but no one was there, which was quite creepy. I think this hotel is quite pretentious and not worth the price.
