The hotel is located near the Palace, walking distance (5-10 min)to Malioboro. I recommend INTRAVALAS near Bank Indonesia for foreign exchange, close to the hotel and the transaction rates were very good. Shuttle Damri Wisata was right in front of Bank Indonesia as well, from which you can take the bus to Borobudur for 20,000 single journey. I love that the hotel used WhatsApp to communicate with the guests, for example, for things like breakfast choices and other announcements. Of course you can always go to the front desk, but using WhatsApp was more efficient. I like the vibes of the hotel. From the room and outside seating you can see the well organized garden. I often saw the gardener maintaining the garden and the plants. It felt good to sit here in the morning/ evening or at the sunset; and having a drink. The meals, drinks and dessert’s were provided at reasonable prices.

Sometimes a few ants showed up, but overall was tolerable and caused not much of a problem. Suggest that having more breakfast choices for Western style. During my 5-nights stay, only two kinds of Western breakfast options were offered. Indonesian breakfast was definitely good. Maybe it was so because I found many locals visited the place as well.

The kitchen staff were instructed to prepare a breakfast specifically for me - this act of kindness, generosity and attention, I will never forget. I was able to enjoy a truly Yogi/Javanese/Indonesian taste. I am very grateful. Another thing for which I am grateful, is the fruit basket that was hand selected and decorated specially for me. One more thing for which I am grateful, is the exceptional collection of books on Indonesian art/architecture/culture in the library that the hotel management has made available for peruse.

Nothing. However, I could continue writing about what I liked about my stay at the hotel.

6 out of 5 stars. Absolutely perfect! Super friendly. Staff organizes everything you need for you (tours, moto, information). Food was great. Location right in the center. Room great! There was even a complimentary plate of fruit. The manager personally asked about the well-being. Absolutely great! I'll be back. Very special thanks to Ryan and Bunga. Both in training/ fresh out of university: they are super friendly, informative and - if you want - tell you all about Indonesia, Yogyakarta and local highlights. The accommodation was absolutely great. Ryan and Bunga do an absolutely perfect job! A big compliment - personally and professionally. I'll be back!!!

Great central location in Jogja! City center and restaurants options are easily reachable by foot. Also there are traditional dance performances everyday at 20.00h in the museum around the corner (tickets can be bought every evening from 19.00h on). Friendly staff! Very clean and stylish hotel rooms!

(1) Breakfast process was not running smooth although breakfast options need to be provided evening before (2) Restaurant menu options are basic and small portions (felt like delivered from somewhere else). Restaurant has no alcohol license. (3) Tables in restaurant are too small for the chairs. Fit not well. No relaxing chairs available in hotel.

We loved everything about our stay at Ceria Hotel ! From the very kind staff members to the delicious coffee, the beautiful decoration everywhere and the cleanliness. The location is perfect to explore the Royal palace and its neighborhood, too. Tip about the breakfast: you can choose from a menu the night before - don't be scared of the Red beans soup, it's extremely tasty ! I would like to thank the team once again and the manager Mr Nanang who personally made sure we had a great stay and did everything he could to arrange what we needed. I totally recommend this lovely place :)

Nothing to complain for !

This is a cool little hotel that we really enjoyed staying in. The aesthetics were really cool with sliding wooden doors and a somewhat large open courtyard-type area with lots of beautiful plants that led to the various room areas and is also where the dining area is located. We had breakfast each day and it was better than your average hotel fare I would say (my favorite was their Soto Ayam). They also have a cafe that serves yummy coffee (and non-coffee) drinks. Unlike most hotels that we stayed in, they don't provide free plastic bottles of water. Instead they have a water dispenser outside of your hotel so as not to add to all the plastic bottle waste/pollution, which we appreciated. Also, they have free bicycle rentals, which was a really cool bonus.

The room was on the small side, but that was really an issue for us as we weren't staying in the room very much. Also, there was one instance where we ordered room service and it took a bit long to arrive, but they were pretty busy that day and the other time we ordered room service, it came within a reasonable amount of time.

Bed is super comfortable. Room is spacious, has decent size wardrope, desk and chair, and tivi. Room and the hotel overall is very clean. Privacy is great as each block has only 4 rooms, surround by walk-ways with nice plants. Breakfast is good. Staffs are super helpful and friendly. Communication can be done via whatapps so it is very convenient.

There is no bed side light. Can be a little noisy occasionally as the restaurant takes outside guests (but close after 10pm). Spa is bad, cheap product is used and the person has no skill (since the spa does not belong to the hotel so impact in rating but really not recommended)

The hotel is small and friendly with the rooms set in a nice garden and covered eating areas around. It has a lovely art deco style, furnishings and a coffee shop. There were local or western choices for breakfast, I had an American, very tasty and good portions, and they made a takeaway for our early morning tour start. The location is great for walking to the Palace and wondering around the back streets to the Water Palace. The bar street was a longer walk (30 mins) but taking a Grab was easy. The hotel is quite new and everything was spotlessly clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

My room was at the side facing the garden and the top windows had no curtain so it was quite bright in the morning. The hot water in the shower was also a little sporadic, not coming through sometimes. Everything else was perfect.

EVERYTHING! This hotel is spectacular! Definitely exceeded my expectations. I was really impressed from the moment I entered the building. It looks like the building was built from the Dutch colonial era CMIIW but everything inside has been renovated so my family and I instantly fell in love with the combination between the classic architecture with the touch of modernity. Every corner of the hotel is warm, cozy, and really feels like home with lovely gardens and a small bookshelf with remarkable collection of books (mainly about Indonesian cultures). They also serve great coffee and food at the cafe as well. The hotel room itself is impressive. Everything is brand new, well-maintained, and clean. They also have equipped the rooms with smart TVs. Kudos to the interior designer who create such a wonderful ambience. I also enjoyed the hospitality from the staff. I only stayed for several nights and felt like we have known with each other for a long time due to their reception. All the great things I mentioned before means this hotel is suitable for wide range of occasions, from solo travelers, couples, families, group of friends, and also a fantastic place to do the remote work. In conclusion, as a person who visit this city regularly, I will consider this hotel as the first choice whenever I come to Jogja again.

Wonderful stay in this hotel! Everything - from the staff, cleanliness, and attention to detail - was perfect! The hotel is not only pretty, but also exceptionally clean (coming from someone who notes and values cleanliness the most) and our room smelled amazing. Staff was very welcoming and helpful, thank you! And a special thanks to Bella in reception who helped us when we were having some trouble booking our online train tickets on the day we were checking out :) Finally the attention to detail is worth mentioning - the decor, the perfectly groomed garden/patio, the small library with books to borrow and how breakfast is served. Highly recommended!
