The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Experience

I was pleasantly surprised by the variety and quality of food offered at the hotel's restaurant. During my stay, I indulged in the Indonesian breakfast options, and I must say, the Soto Ayam was particularly delicious. I also enjoyed a lovely dinner one evening, which was equally satisfying. Each meal was freshly prepared, allowing me to savor the local flavors in a beautiful setting.

Spacious and Comfortable Rooms

I was amazed by the spaciousness of my room during my stay. The high ceilings added a luxurious touch, and the room was larger than I anticipated from the pictures online. My suite even had a lovely balcony overlooking the pool, which was the perfect spot to unwind after a busy day exploring.

Stunning Pool Oasis

The pool area was an absolute highlight of my visit. Surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens and palm trees, it offered a tranquil escape after a day of hiking. I was fortunate enough to enjoy it mostly to myself, which made for a serene experience. The loungers were inviting and made it easy to relax and soak up the atmosphere.

The hotel is conveniently located near Borobudur, making it easy to explore the area. The junior suite we stayed in was spacious and well-accommodated but had cleanliness issues. The dining experience was less than satisfactory, with limited options and poor service. While the facilities, especially the pool, were pleasant, the overall value for the price paid was disappointing.

This hotel is a perfect choice for anyone looking to visit Borobudur Temple, as it's just a short walk away. The ambiance has a lovely colonial charm with spacious and clean rooms, making it feel quite comfortable. The dining experience with a-la-carte breakfast was genuinely delightful. However, I did find the call to prayer from the nearby mosque a bit loud at times, which may be a concern for some. Overall, it offers great value for a comfortable stay near a world-famous site.
