Istana Kerajaan Yogyakarta

After an easy check in we got to our spacious room. The beds are quite firm and not so comfortable but it was nice to have a fridge. Breakfast was fantastic with so many options- cereal, bread, fresh fruit, eggs, sausage, rice, noodles, chicken… The pool was also really nice (and huge!) and on weekends they have kid activities. My daughter loved the activities and the staff made them very fun.

I stayed in Yogucarta to see temples Borobudur and Prambanan. This hotel offers reasonable stay for the money. If you're going out please be advised that traffic in the city can be very bad especially in the evening. Also be prepared to hear loudspeakers from nearby mosques (I heard them only the first night, the second was ok).

You can see a film of what we got here if you go to the karlmarkinternational channel on YouTube.The Indonesia playlist has a film that shows everything. The hotel is beautiful, but has a few annoying things. You will get strange plastic towels in the room and the friendly staff at the somewhat boring breakfast mostly hide behind the counter looking at their phones. Safes are really small. The workers are all nice, but not at all coordinated. It would not be difficult make this hotel much better. Water in the pools should be changed at night or on bad days and not on warm and sunny days.
