Daryl

wasn't as impressive as the reviews imply.
I booked based on the great reviews but wasn't as impressed as I could be. I switched to another hotel for the next day and am much happier. I had a private room and once you are paying double you can get something nicer and way bigger in the area. I had to leave mainly because the wifi was too slow to make calls or work. The shower I used was only trickling and could barely rinse off if using warm water. The windows room was nearly useless and the fan in it constantly ran and was noisy. They say stay green and save water, but they make u buy bottled water for make a few pennies at the cost of plastic. Their income per room is higher than most nice hotels but the place seems to penny pinch more than the other hostels I see in bali, etc. If you have two people def choose elsewhere.

Hi, thank you for writing our review. Our wifi is shared on each floor, and has the same password for each floor, so guests need to choose the strongest signal to get a good WiFi network. Our bathrooms are all in good condition, because we keep checking every day, And we provide free 24-hour infused water which we always refill if it runs out, so guests do not need to always buy bottled water. Hope to see you again on your next vacation, and we are sure to make improvements in every aspect, We hope you enjoy your trip, and the warm greetings from all the staff here.

Best hostel
I've been traveling from Malaysia to Singapore and the Jojia staying at hostels. This is by far the best in terms of service, comfort and cleanliness. The hostel arranged for a motorcycle rental, Grab to airport. There is beer and water in the fridge, healthy free breakfast. The staff speak perfect English and they play music I know and love.

Great hostel, not so great location
This is a really great place to stay on a budget - the beds are very private and the mattresses are extremely comfortable! Much more so than some more pricey hostels I've used before. The service is great, the receptionists are kind and have great suggestions for things like food and local attractions. However, I would not recommend the area. Maliboro street, to which it is directly linked, is full to the brim with tourist traps and scam artists. Don't fall for people trying to sell you batik - they've bought it and are trying to resell it to you with a 'foreigner price'. I heard some real horror stories with that! Maliboro street is the only place I really experienced this en-mass, other places are much quieter and friendlier. Overall a lovely little hostel.

Hello Nichola! How are you? Hope you doing great today! Thank you so much for writing us such a good review, we really appreciate it :) For your concern with the location, we think that we have the best location since we are next to the main street and also it's so easy to go everywhere with a good public transport nearby (bus stop), supermarket and convenience store. We also aware of the issue that you had regarding people try to sell their works so expensive to you. We will try to give some advice to our guests to be a bit careful with this scam or trap. We will try to give some clue on how much is it worth for some souvenir so the guests would not fall into a tourist trap. We do appreciate your suggestion. Thank you so much and we really hope to see you on your next visit :) Thank you

Overall, this was a great choice for the price. The rooms are clean and well kept as were the bathrooms. The mall is just down the street so you have access to many restaurants and shopping. The staff were helpful with booking tours and taxis.

Location!!!
It is a quiet, no-shoe, no 4th-floor hostel . (Note: 4 is bad luck number for Chinese, just like number 13!). I had a single room, large enough for a double bed and small space around it. It has a good size of a combined toilet-shower room. There is a small cooking place in the middle of the first floor and 2/3 tables. Free breakfast with bread, butter and jam plus banana and melon. It is on Malioboro St, which has bus stop to go to the airport, Jombor (to go to Borobudur), Prambanan, and walking distance to the Kraton (Sultan palace) then Taman Sari (Water palace). Shopping is along Malioboro st.

Super!
Die Packer Lodge befindet sich an bester Lage, in einer Seitengasse direkt am Malioboro in Yogyakarta. Da im Hotel alle Barfuss gehen und die Schuhe entweder draussen gelassen oder durch die Packer Lodge getragen werden, war alles sehr sauber. Das Personal war immer freundlich und hat sich um unser wohlbefinden bemüht. An der Rezeption erhält man Infos und Flyer über Ausflüge, etc. Die Packer Lodge verfügt über eine tolle Terrasse zum rauchen, chillen und Musik hören (es hat Bluetooth Boxen zur Verfügung). Unser Zimmer war zwar sehr klein, hatte aber ein eigenes Bad mit Dusche. Das Zimmer hat kein Fenster, war aber sehr sauber. Im Zimmer befindet sich eine verschliessbare Box für Wertsachen. Das WLAN funktionierte einwandfrei. Die Zimmer sind ziemlich hellhörig, wir bekamen alles mit was auf den Gang geschah. Trotzdem würden wir wieder kommen.

おそらく最高のホテル
ここには、3日間に渡り、宿泊しました。最初はとりあえずで予約しましたが、部屋きれい、スタッフ優しい、場所めっちゃいいの良いとこ多かったので、延長しました。日本でいうカプセルホテルに近い感じで、カプセル好きには良いかもしれないです。 ベッドの二階に上がるは辛いので、出来れば一階にしてもらうようお願いした方がいいと思います。 いろんな国で、泊まってますが、相対的にとてもおすすめできます。

観光には好立地
観光で利用しました。ドミトリーがメインのようですが、個室もあります。 場所は、マリオボロ通りからダゲン通り(Dagen)に入ったところです。入ってすぐ左手にあります。周辺にはレストランが無数にあり、マリオボロ通りに出ればコンビニもショッピングモールもあります。トランスジョグジャの駅も徒歩圏内のため、かなり便利な立地だと思います。 ホステルなので、朝食はかなり質素です。パンと果物しかありません。お茶とコーヒーは飲み放題です。建物は新しく、土足厳禁のためか、内部も清潔でした。ビールは受付で売っています。観光中心の旅行なら、悪くない選択だと思います。

綺麗だけど狭い。
ダブルベットドミトリーに3泊した。二つのダブルベットが二段になっていて、大きなロッカーが2グループ分ある。ベットは綺麗だし、カーテンがついていた。しかし、ロッカーとベット以外の部分が狭すぎて、同部屋の人と鉢合わせになるとスペースがなくて、外に出るしかなくなる。チェックアウト日が一緒で、しかも同じくらいの時間になり、外の廊下で荷造りするしかなかった。ロッカーのオートロック機能は調子が悪く、すぐピーピー鳴り出す。各階にトイレは一つで、バスルームが二つ。清潔。スタッフはフレンドリー。狭いこと以外は良いとこだった。
