The rooms are extremely comfortable and spacious, the junior suites are exceptionally good value for money. Everything is spotless, the garden areas beautifully maintained, the pool is just glorious amidst frangipani and palm trees. Also we had lunch there, the food was freshly cooked and delicious, we highly recommend the Soto Ayam in particular. Lots of choice for breakfast . All the staff are so helpful and gentle, Bambang was a great help with our onward travel arrangements. This is perfectly located for exploring Borobudur ( only 5 minutes walk from main entrance) and the many areas of beauty in the vicinity .
We wish we’d stayed longer than 2 nights and highly recommend this lovely hotel which is really well run.

Beautiful heritage building. Helpful staff. Strategic location.
Room is not very well lit, especially the bathroom. Fortunately the cleanliness and water pressure were good.
4.5 / 5.0
Location is perfect to walk to Borobudur temple. Building is nice urban location, not resort type. Pool is nice.
all was good. just staff could be more knowledgeable about the surrounding activities for example Mondays the temple is closed to visits, where you find a sarong… simple questions.

the staff were extremely helpful and went out of their way to accommodate our requests. They were able to extend breakfast time due to our visit to Borobudur temple and gave me a private space to teach yoga classes in the morning and evenings to my group. Breakfast was delicious and we also chose to have dinner there once, which was really good. The hotel is very close to the temple. there is a big pool which is definitely a bonus. we booked massages through the hotel as well, and although it was a bit pricey, they were really good.
When outside in the pool area, the noise from the road is unfortunately close by and as a general theme in Java, for those who are not aware, the first call to prayer in the mosques are around 4/4:30am each morning. This hotel are surrounded by them, so hard to sleep through if that is not your general time to wake up.
4.5 / 5.0
It is a nice and pleasant first time experience.
As the cozy room, nice breakfast and close to the Borobudur Temple, it is very recommended place to stay with.
Upon check out, they let us park our car in the hotel and free us from trouble parking in the Temple.
4.5 / 5.0
Surprisingly beautiful building with high ceilings and antique furniture. Better than its pictures really. Very colonial style but not in your face. 5 min walk from the temple so perfect base for it - can see it first thing and come back for breakfast! Staff so friendly too.

location is just 5 minutes walk to the borobudur entrance.
the hotel is a bit old, and expect the furniture a bit wear down.
3.5 / 5.0
A beautiful old world feel.
Walking distance to all the Borobudur Temples.
The pool was lovely.
The full body massage next tot the pool is a must.
When I visited, there were still COVID restrictions meaning that there were limited guests. Instead of the usual buffet, breakfast was ordered a la carte.
A few maintenance issues that should have been dealt with prior to guests checking in - the toilet kept running once flushed. The sliding door did not close properly and was therefore not able to lock.
The hotel car did not have rear seat belts and the side window in the front was bubbled so you could not see out of it clearly which made sightseeing from it tricky.
4.5 / 5.0
Fantastic place to stay in Magelang! Family suite was very spacious; noone else was using the pool when we were there so we got it all for ourselves. Walking distance to night market, minimarket, delicious local eateries and Borobudur temple. Too bad we couldn't catch sunset/sunrise due to covid.
The bathroom didn't had bathtub. Could have more options for breakfast; no complains for the taste tho - had nasi goreng, soto, and toast.

The hotel is close to the Borobudur at about 5 min walking. For me the main reason to stay here was the closeness to the temple to visit early in the morning. However since the the Borobudur only opens around 8am now, a taxi from Yogyakarta and back is during covid maybe a better option. The pool was great though!
There wasn't any hot water in the shower and for the 2 minutes there was warm water, the waterpressure was not great. The room felt a little too big and not homely. Also due to covid the restaurant is closed.
2.5 / 5.0
The staff are fantastic, polite, very helpful and friendly(five stars to them), the place was very clean, cosy and really beautiful. Also very well placed with everything just walking distance. We requested a late check out which they gave us straight away.
The price doesn't reflect the current situation - the pool was green, the breakfast was very plain, the bathroom door didn't shut (im sure they would have sorted it but it was late when we realised and we'd already moved rooms because the balcony door didn't lock) the aircon didn't cool enough and the building next door was burning trash so we couldn't enjoy the beautiful pool area in any way and the smoke even entered the room. All these things are small and im sure would be maintained in normal times and maybe have lapsed because of reduced visitors, but they either should be kept up or a discount given because thw price is a little too much considering these.
