Set in Yogyakarta, 4.4 km from Sultan's Palace, Sleepy Raccoon Hostel offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

The reception staff and owners are very very nice, willing to help and give recommendations at any point. Scooters for rent were in a great state. Room was comfy and clean. The kitchen facilities were also great and having free refills was incredible.

Located in Yogyakarta, within 3 km of Sultan's Palace and 3.2 km of Museum Sonobudoyo, Wonderloft Hostel Jogja provides accommodation with a garden.

BED BUGS!!! Chaos in the hostel. They let us, unwilling and knowingly, stay an extra night after bed bugs were confirmed in the hostel. They didn’t inform people we found out through others. There was also a sanitary towel on the wall of the shower for over 24 hours. There is not enough space for someone to even open the door fully never mind have your bag in your room at night. Yet there aren’t even anywhere near enough lockers per a bed. Curtain also didn’t even cover the bed so there was no privacy. Madness. Would not recommend.

Set in Yogyakarta, 3.1 km from Fort Vredeburg, Omah Manis offers accommodation with a fitness centre, free private parking and a shared lounge.

This is a very good, low budget hotel. We received a very warm welcome and - despite being too early for check in - were offered our room. We did not use the pool, although small, it looked inviting. Breakfast on the first day was Indonesian soup, and toast and jam/chocolate spread for westerners. Breakfast on the second day (when we think there were more guests staying) was much better, with a more extensive and delicious choice. The staff were very kind and tried hard to make us welcome. My wife was given a small batik gift when we checked out. The hotel is close to a thriving local area with a lot of options for evening food and drinks. Although there is a mosque opposite, the call to prayer during the night is quietened down and didn’t disturb us. The city itself has no real centre so wherever you stay you will need to take a taxi to get to the temples or shopping malls. There are a lot of shopping malls, ranging in size and spending need.

I was here for four days. A super fun experience! Hospitable and friendly hosts where you live in the house. I also liked that the hostel is located in a kampong. There is a nice place outside to chill (and smoke) and sometimes meet others. Highly recommended

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    We’ve stayed for one week at snooze. Rooms and shared spaces are very clean! The garden is beautiful, breakfast was very good. Environment is quiet and very relaxed. The service was outstanding. With everything they offer help and gave advice and assistance on sightseeing and activities. We were sick during a few days and we wouldn’t have want other place to stay. Those girls backed us up! They are all angels. overall it was the best hostel experience we had.

    Great location. 10 min walk to main areas. The host was so lovely! Couldn't have been nicer! Great breakfasts every morning. Tasty omelet first morning, then when we found out we were keen for Indonesian food, got some excellent rice, noodle and broth dishes. Felt like a secure and safe accommodation.

    We were super satisfied with our stay at this accommodation—maybe it’s the best hostel I’ve ever been to. 🏨💚 The place is lovingly decorated, with beautiful plants everywhere and a great overall layout. 🌿 The rooms are small and simple but very nice. 🛏️ The location is perfect—right next to cozy cafes and restaurants, and you can walk everywhere. ☕🍽️ The staff gives excellent tips and doesn’t push expensive tours on you. 🗺️ They also rent out high-quality scooters. 🛵 We felt super comfortable here. Thank you so much for everything! 🙏😊

    The rooms were basic but okay. Beds were quite comfortabel and the shower was warm. The staff were really nice and were staying up late to drink some beers and play some music. The backpackers feeling was really nice and it was the perfect place to meet new people in Yogyakarta. The pool was also a nice addition.
