Hotels near Universitas Gadjah Mada

I am on my last day of stay and could not wait to type my review. As a background, I have stayed in various three, four and five stars quality hotel in Indonesia, some for businesses and some for family holiday. I am more critical with hotel quality and services ever since I traveled with my child. Below are the reasons why I couldnt hold to give this property 5 stars review. 1. Top quality services. The staff are amazing! It is rare to see that all of the hotel staff (everywhere, from front desk, room, housekeeping, pool staff, restaurant, I mean everyone). The staff were genuinely friendly, helpful and very responsive. I couldn't find any fault or delay for this. The service is just 5 stars! Room I was in a little bit doubt when I booked the deluxe. To my surprise, the layout, decor and cleanliness is top notch. The bed and linen is very comfy, the space is big with a balcony, u will find most of your need in the room. I got nice coffee machine, tea, minibar and delicious bakpia on the house. They even provide 4 bottles of medium drinking bottle plus 2 small bottle in the room! This is small detail that truly amazed me. One of the things that I hate when I travel is to buy water bottle when I stay at a local hotel. Food Breakfast has so many variety. For Indonesian food, everything is delicious and even better than some of the top local restaurants that I ever visited. What surprised me is I use to hate that section of local cake in top 5 stars hotel. This hotel really delivers top quality Indonesian food and local cake. To my surprise their bakpia taste awesome! I like it more than the famous bakpia I used to buy in Jogja Facilities If you are travelling with kids below 12, this is by far the best hotel for family even compare to the 5 stars hotel I visits in Bali. The facilities covers water slide for kids (a serious water slide for big kids in fact!), a wonderful outdoor playground and a very strategic indoor playgrou

I absolutely loved my stay! A classy 5-star hotel at very affordable prices. We stayed 3 nights in the premier king room and upgraded to the suite on the last night. The hotel is clean and has an amazing view of Mt Merapi, the city, the sunrise and sunset. I had beautiful views from my room everyday. You get an even better view when you head up to the rooftop pool. The food was delicious too. The buffet breakfast had a perfect variety (not too wide, but also not too small), and the food was great. We also had high tea delivered to the room when we upgraded to the suite, and it was yummy! On the last night, we went up to the Martinique Sky Lounge on the top floor for a dinner date. The lounge has wide glass windows which give you an amazing view of the city. We ordered steaks, which were yummy. The staff were also very friendly, and provided excellent and quick service. Most of them also speak good English, so communication was easy. I'll definitely be back here!

*Disclaimer : I am a Singaporean this list is based on a Singaporean angle.* *A.k.a price & experience* Pros - hotel not greatly affected by holiday traffic jams but not the close to attractions (most of the hotel aren't) - price was good for hotel of this standard - the food selection available here 5/5 stars (f.y.i steak house, breakfast & saturday seafood buffet!!) - helpful & well mannered staff Cons - water pressure for shower can be improved - pillows too soft ahahaha (did not call for help) I will be back. If I am in town again. Tips for travelers to Yogyakarta. - get a driver / guide BEFORE COMING HERE (Yogyakarta attractions are far from the city 1h minimum) - there is a supermarket, local food, laundromat, cinema & stuff nearby (ask staff for a map of the area) - safety 5/5 star (I am a 97kg male lifter walked at night 10pm++ alone twice) - if you wear shorts you will probably be labelled a tourist (long pants is a region thing) Remember to have fun. Always.

We booked a Premier One Bedroom Suite with View and stayed for 4 nights. Our arrival was early at around 10am and they were unfortunately full for us to have an early check-in. We have to wait for 5 hours until the official check-in time which was 3pm. The first room that was assigned to us was in the second floor. The view was almost entirely obstructed as it was on a low floor. I expressed my concerns to the check-in counter that if I wanted a normal room I would have just booked a Deluxe. I specially booked the Premier One Bedroom Suite with View for the view and getting the room on the second floor felt that I was shortchanged. Special thanks to the Front Counter Staff, Mr Hendik for successfully arranging the exchange of rooms to the highest one. Please take note to request for a higher floor if you want a good view. Housekeeping was prompt and everything was replaced timely. Breakfast spread was adequate and decent. Swimming pool size were average and there was not much crowd at all times in the pool. Staff were all very friendly and approachable. Special arrangements like transportation were all fulfilled and there was zero hiccups throughout my stay in here Marriott Yogyakarta except for the initial room assignment. Overall stay was excellent and would highly recommend to travellers who wants a convenient hotel which is right beside a mall.

The room was spacious and very clean, the breakfast had a great variety of Western and Indonesian food (juice bar, eggs, cereals and much more). But the best thing about Grand Ambarrukmo was definitely the staff: Extremely friendly, attentive and helpful, they eben made us sandwiches for our flight which was early in the morning so we didn‘t have time for the regular breakfast buffet. Grand Ambarrukmo is located fairly close to the airport but a bit away from Malioboro Street or Prawirotaman. It didn‘t really matter to us because the area was nice and taking a cab is cheap! Would definitely recommend anytime!

Conveniently located near the mall with superb shopping, food and cinema just a short walk away, nice range for mini bar with extra beer delivered to room very promptly, nice selection of dining for room service also which was well priced, staff were very friendly, helpful and efficient, pool/pool area is very nice, clean and well maintained. I'd consider this hotel 4 star not 3 as suggested as much nicer than my previous stay. Recommend tourists stay here to escape the madness of malioboro and just get a cab across to check it out if desired.

i travel in groups so i booked 4 rooms but our rooms are not located side by side, the room itself is clean but the size is vary. my friend got more space in his room compares to mine. the rooms numbering is also confusing cause it looks like it was randomly put. the room is nice, the bed is comfortable and the bathroom is clean. i enjoy my stay in this hotel, and might return if i have another chance to visit jogja.

I booked 2 rooms plus an extra bed for 5 persons. Both of the rooms are spacious. They are clean, very well designed, and comfortable. The extra bed is also good and comfy. The city view from our rooms are great. The staff are really polite and friendly. They smile a lot and willing to help with our needs. The breakfast was exquisite. You can find food restaurants or stalls nearby the hotel. It is located not far from the city center and attractive places such as Jalan Malioboro, Kraton, etc. Grand Dafam Merapi Merbabu Hotel is simply a true 4-star hotel.

Saya menginap selama 3 malam. Setiap saya request butuh sesuatu, para staf akan menyediakannya dengan segera. AC dan water heater berfungsi dengan baik. Kamar selalu dibersihkan setiap hari. Para staf sangat ramah dan sangat membantu. Bahkan saat bantal saya tertinggal, mas Andi dengan sangat baik mengirimkan bantal tersebut melalui paket (Terima kasih banyak ya mas Andi). Lokasi hotel pun sangat strategis. Yang utama adalah, di hotel ini ada lobby yang cukup luas di lantai 2 sehingga sangat nyaman untuk rendezvous dengan kerabat. Fasilitas pun sangat lengkap, tersedia pula massage and spa, sayang sekali kami tidak memiliki waktu yang cukup untuk mencobanya. Menu breakfast pun cukup bervariasi. Sebagai masukan: akan lebih baik jika di dalam kamar mandi disediakan tirai agar air dari shower tidak menyebabkan becek dan membuat lantai licin sehingga berisiko jatuh untuk anak2 dan lansia. Overall: VERY RECOMMENDED Thank you for making our holidays more special

I would rate my stay as 5/5. I got a promo and it's pretty cheap for a 4 star hotel, it was only Rp 420.000 including breakfast. The staffs were nice, room was clean and the food tastes pretty good. Pretty strategic bc the hotel is located near Universitas Gadjah Mada and Hartono Mall. Also located near street food vendors, couple of restaurants and a minimarket. Definitely would go again 10/10 :)

The Puri Artha was a pleasant place to stay. The staff were very accommodating. The dining room is nice and the breakfast buffet is good. What I liked best about about the Puri Artha is that the hotel has maintained the atmosphere of pre-boom Yogyakarta, the place that I remember fondly from my younger days. The hotel has minor shortcomings, as would any older 3-star hotel, but nothing that would impede me from re-booking for my next visit.

The Yellow Star Gejayan is a great hotel, particularly if you are having meetings at UGM, Sanata Dharma or any of the other universities nearby. The room is neat and clean although the sitting space for the table is nearly non-existent as I was sitting on the bed to work on the table rather than on the provided chair; the bathroom was sufficiently spacious and clean with no strange smells or moldy stains. The room service was so-so, you would be more entertained by eating at the rooftop bar than in your room. One big problem I faced was an extremely unstable wifi internet connection. It was so bad I had to use my mobile data hotspot for most of my stay in Yellow Star. Apart from that my stay was great and I will be coming back again in the near future.

First, a bit difficult to find the hotel since the map shows wrong location. After calling the hotel crews, we got the clue.The location is closer to Nort Ring Road. Strange hotel layout (guest room on left side, while the right side is empty..or will become function hall). BUT...this hotel is brand new, the room & bathroom are very clean, flatscreen TV and wardrobe. The interior is chick, simple, comfy. No toileteries, need to pay IDR 5rb for towel, but they hv convient store beside the receptionist. Indomaret store is across the hotel. Enough parking space or u can find ojek nearby. 3 staff ignored me when I wanna check in (while there's no other guess). The response from hotel staff when I check in was very very slow. They gave me key a bit faster after I sclod them. But overall...I like staying in this hotel. Coz the point is, I need cozy place to take a rest after tiring day of exploring Yogya.

The hotel is a little hope from the strip downtown but taxis are cheap and for trips to the temples the tour places pick you up anyway. Staff was very obliging and help us as best they could with the telephones. We had to make a collect call to our bank in Canada. Pool needs a good cleaning and some chairs. The high point for us was the front staff and room attendents. Highly recommend.

I really love the hotel's ambient and interior design. The staffs are very friendly and helpful. The room is nice and clean but not really spacious, but suits what you expect from a 3-star hotel. There is a variety of food to eat for breakfast, taste nice too. More cost-saving if you include a breakfast plan into your booking rather than eating outside as most of the eating outlets outside the hotel are ideal for lunch or dinner only. Parking lots are extremely limited. The only thing is the location, I guess. Quite far from most tourist attractions. However, it's a great hotel overall! I would come back.
