The Phoenix Hotel Yogyakarta - Handwritten Collection
10/10 Excellent
"Every nook and cranny a tribute to the history and artwork of this hotel. Ask for the 1/2 hour hotel tour offered, quite interesting. Fantastic breakfast. Good dinner at the restaurant, if not a little pricy. Staff, like all over Indonesia, such beautiful people. Will stay here again and again. "
"The hotel is very nice with a modern style. Our room was large and spotlessly clean. The rooftop bar is right next to the pool and serves alcohol as well as soft drinks. The staff are all very professional and helpful. We very much enjoyed our stay here."
Novotel Yogyakarta International Airport Kulon Progo
8/10 Good
"Staff were very courteous and explained various hotel features. Their website indicates shuttle service between the hotel and airport is provided but was unable to reach hotel before my trip to arrange for this. Not a big deal since the hotel is close tp YIA airport, but the kicker was that the reception said hotel shuttle is provided to all guests, but if they don't provide instructions or answer the call this could turn off some guests."
"Nice hotel, the room facing the street are noisy. Good breakfast and room service choice, friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are spacious and comfortable will stay again next time."
