Cottages in Gedongtengen

"Room, a/c, staff, location all good. No complaints."

"The location of the hotel is good, close to Malioboro Street (the main shopping area). The staff welcomed us with a cool and refreshing drink. However, the condition of our bathroom does not match the 5-star "luxury" rating. The vanity and the bathroom door are basically covered by some adhesive materials. It feels like a 2-star hotel! The buffet breakfast is decent, offering a variety of choices. Nevertheless, I did expect more since it's a 5-star hotel. Overall, the hotel did not live up to my 5-star expectations! "

"Poor. I don’t usually write reviews, I booked this hotel as I have stayed in Hyatt’s around the world, this is by far the worst. Staff poorly trained, trying to order room service on the phone was impossible as they didn’t understand. The pool was dirty. Staff more concerned with the Ramadan buffet guests who are not staying at the hotel rather than their actual guests. Alcohol is also an issue here, we asked for a bottle of wine to take to our room and we were present with it in a black bag like it was contraband!! Serve alcohol or don’t, but don’t make western guests feel guilty for ordering something on the menu. Finally the rooms are poor, clearly not upgraded since the 80’s, there is however a refurbishment program underway which is long overdue. "

"Ckean room, nice staff "

"On the surface, this is a modern hotel with reasonable facilities. However, there are loads of pros and cons. The rooms are a little bit worn, staff don’t speak that much English and most of the clients are Indonesian. Breakfasts offer loads of choice: two rice options, one noodle, a veg stir-fry and a fish or chicken dish, plus several buburs (porridges), simple cakes and pastries, plus fresh fruit. But the coffee and tea are weak and lukewarm – barely drinkable; I ended up walking to the central Tugu station nearby to get coffee from the convenience store. Also, the building next door to the hotel is a church, and at weekends you'll have to put up with the band at evening service, not to mention a 6 am (!) band rehearsal on Sunday followed by more music. Overall I had an OK and very affordable stay, but it could have been much better if the management paid more attention to details."

"Excellent service! Nice buffet spread! Right beside a big mall."

"A step back in time, but with modern values . Phoenix seem to balance it perfectly. "

"I booked 3 rooms in this hotel for me and my sisters…we asked all 3 rooms to be on the same level and it’s no problem at all for the hotel…we had nice time and all the staff are very friendly and polite. We had a ‘bit’ of confusion at the end of our stay but Ken, the duty manager on the day had explained the confusion and he handled the minor incident very professionally. Thank you, Ken…you are an asset for Jambuluwuk Hotel Malioboro for your outstanding hospitality! All our rooms are clean and always have all the amenities. Nice location as it’s near Malioboro! Highly recomended for all of you who wants to visit Yogyakarta with your family."

"The rooftop was awesome, breakfast very good, i will stay here again if i visit jogja "
