    The food, especially the breakfast is not really good (neither the western nor the Asian food)

    It is a nice , historical and clean hotel in the heart of Yogya.

    Fabulous location for train station and walking to Malioboro. Short (cheap) Grab taxi to Sultan’s Palace area and easy access for Prambanan & BOrobudur. Great pool, spacious rooms and very reasonable spa prices! Pool-view worth the extra.

    Some of the dining room staff is new and learning - not a bad thing but not always attentive to guests. Like much of Asia, alcohol drinks aren't so great but are relatively expensive.

    The dining courtyard is very pleasant - open air with a large fountain in the center. We found it cool and pleasing. Our room was smalll but very nice - an excellent value for what we paid.

    The restaurant is good if you want to stay in the hotel. We really enjoyed the special BBQ evening they did with music but the service isn’t always consistently good.

    Very nice scenery in this hotel! Gives you the vibe of the old colonial times. The staff of the hotel is extremely friendly and helpful and really made the difference for our stay! We spend the day with the hotel driver and car and really enjoyed his company and sharing Indonesian culture with us. Terima kasih wonderful staff of the Phoenix hotel!!

    The food in the restaurant wasn’t as good as in restaurants off site and drinks were overpriced. Allowing smoking by the pool wasn’t great. The smoke from the people on loungers next to us blew in our faces. Please make the whole site non smoking.

    Very well located hotel with helpful staff and a building with charm. Very good selection of food at breakfast and a nice spa.

    Happy with everything

    The location was perfect as a central point to explore the surroundings. It was a calm environment to return to at the end of a busy day. Easy access to taxis and tour guide drivers. Buffet and A La Carte dining options and wide range of menu choices. Staff were very attentive and friendly and the service was very good. Hotel was beautifully decorated with beautiful furniture and traditional art pieces. The Phoenix Hotel jas an interesting history and was excellent value.

    The location was a bit further from the centre than anticipated. To get to the part of yogya with more restaurants or to go to places like the Keraton a taxi is necessary.

    The staff was very friendly, they helped us arrange a trip to the Borobudur with the sunrise at Punthuk Setumbu. More than enough choices for breakfast. The food on the menu is very tasty as well. We also used the gym and the pool, both were nice.

    One minor area for improvement would be the reception area. It wasn't immediately clear where one could sit to rest after a long journey, especially when one person is busy with registration, and another is waiting. However, this is a small issue in what was otherwise a flawless stay.

    From the moment you enter, you are surrounded by lush, meticulously maintained gardens that create a serene atmosphere. The hotel features an impressive array of facilities, including a restaurant, a lobby bar, a garden, a swimming pool, a mini-museum, and a spa. The greenery and the attention to detail are remarkable, and there's always staff available, ready to assist at a moment's notice. The food at the hotel is delightful, with a luxurious breakfast that surpassed all my expectations. It's evident that the meals are prepared with the freshest ingredients. My room was incredibly comfortable, and I was particularly impressed with the excellent lighting in the bathroom — a feature that is often overlooked in other hotels.

    Could be more generous with quality and quantity of Tea, Coffee, Complimentary water in the rooms. Breakfast could offer more options of continental dishes.

    Great boutique hotel, with artistic and aesthetic interiors. Hotel has made the best of its space and organic growth with multiple wings, a courtyard functioning as restaurant extension, central fountain, beautiful swimming pool and decorative pieces all around corridors showcasing local culture. Close to railway station and not to far from the heart of Yogyakarta town, it has everhelping and courteous staff. The hotel has some good history of special guests like ambassadors, political leaders, etc of around the world who have stayed at the suites here.
