Royal Malioboro by Aston

The hotel is right opposite the Yogyakarta railway station, close to the airport train entrance which makes traveling to the airport very convenient. It's also very near the pedestrian street.

The hardware is quite average, but the service is excellent and the breakfast is quite good. The room faced the inner alley, so it wasn't noisy at all. We stayed for 4 nights in total and overall we were very satisfied.

I stayed for 3 nights in a double room with breakfast. The corner room was clean and spacious, and the toilet and shower were also clean. What I particularly loved was the delicious breakfast! It offered a wide variety of Indonesian, Western, and Japanese dishes, along with live cooking stations for noodles and other items. There were also plenty of salads and fruits, so much so that every day I had trouble deciding what to eat. The service of securely storing luggage was also a plus. The hotel's location is extremely convenient, right in front of the station. The train noise wasn't bothersome at all. I highly recommend this hotel.

This hotel is my top recommendation for anyone visiting Yogyakarta! Booking in advance got us a great discount. The location is excellent, right across from the train station, and it's a short walk to the bustling Malioboro Street. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the air conditioning was super cold. The front desk staff were very friendly and provided excellent service. The water dispensers in the hallway, offering both hot and cold water, all worked perfectly – a big plus! We stayed for several days and honestly didn't want to switch hotels, worried we might end up somewhere bad. As for the downsides, the soundproofing isn't the best. You can clearly hear the mosque's broadcasts starting early in the morning. However, this is quite typical in Indonesia, and personally, I'm fine with it. But if you're someone who gets bothered by early morning disturbances, then it might be an issue. Also, in some rooms, the shower door doesn't close completely, so water can spray out. These are minor drawbacks though, and for this price, there's really nothing to complain about. It's much better than many hotels I've stayed in Taiwan!
