    • Stayed 2 nights

    We didn't realise that our room was in the middle, so there was no natural light because it has no window to the outside. If you prefer a windowed room, better get different type of room.

    The room was spacious and designed with a lot of wood material, so it's classy and elegant. The location was great, walking distance to a lot of places of interests. The breakfast offered a lot of options and taste good.

    Great location for short stay at Surakarta

    The room facility is out of expectation, everything looks very basic and not represent the fancy lobby. Although the Junior Suite is very spacious. Breakfast were not much variety on daily basis, everything was the same. Hot food were left cold, empty trays were unsupervised and ants everywhere!! Very dissapointing for a boutique hotel service.

    The hotel location is right at the heart of Surakarta City, walking distance to The Royal Palace and Pasar Gedhe. Lovely morning walk at the alun-alun. Wonderful lobby with antique javanese ornaments.

    We would have liked a comfortable area to sit as the chairs in reception were not at all comfortable. Also the pool area would benefit from a few loungers

    Excellent location, easy walk to main sights. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Very good breakfast. Lovely pool

    The entire hotel needs a refresh - or, at the very least, the wear and tear need to be fixed. The bathroom really needs an upgrade.

    The hotel is quite centrally located, near attractions, restaurants, etc. The interior / decor keeps to its traditional Javanese themes / heritage. Service is quite exceptional.

    Old hotel. Some decoration & furnitures looks very old. Photos in advertisement are misleading. Suggest for upgrade. Can hear noises from nearby consert/public show at night, not really soundproof.

    Location close to city center. Cheaper options for 4-5 star hotel. Staffs are very helpful. Gamelan shows during breakfast give different vibes of welcome to guests

    Some of the property little bit old. When we arrived the staff didn’t open the door for us, they just open the door for the foreigner guests (not look like local). Maybe the doorman staff need to improve their greeting to the guests.

    The room is quite bigger
