The Phoenix Hotel Yogyakarta - Handwritten Collection
5/5 Excellent
LOVELY STAFF AND HOTEL!
"Great staff! Excellent communication since day one. We booked airport trabsfer and the driver also was the driver to take us to the temples… it’s for an extra fee but worth hiring the ride with hotel directly.
I have a recent lung condition and the staff was extra accommodating to me not walking as much and giving me a room in the first floor , connecting me to a wheelchair service at borubudur temple.
I highly recommend the spa, too!
The hotel is like a small Museum, so pretty! "

"We were in Yogyakarta to visit Prambanan. about 50mins away by taxi - Fantastic.. Centrally located and designed for Indonesian tourists and business guests, the hotel was a pleasant stay, and only 5 minutes walk from the main shopping area along Maliboro street. 10 minutes via rickshaw from Kraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat, the royal palace, although a little disappointing. n.b n.b n.b. There are two airports in Yogyakarta, one 20 mins away and one 1.5 hours away, depending on traffic. Make sure you know which one you're flying out from......"

"I mention names of employees here, hoping they do get recognition,--nobody solicited me for this review.
I stayed at this hotel for five days and was pleasantly surprised by how much it offered, especially for the price. While the building is older, it’s very well maintained, and the rooms are clean with comfortable beds, crisp white sheets, and towels. I had one of the more affordable rooms, but the large east-facing windows offered stunning views of the city and mountains.
If you do nothing else, visit the rooftop pool and restobar on the 10th floor—even if you’re staying elsewhere. The views, breeze, and relaxed atmosphere make it a destination. The staff up there were exceptional—shoutout to Andre, Made, Upay, Rhe, and Bhuda. Friendly, honest, and passionate about what they do. I even met the GM and the Chef on two occasions—not drinking, but personally checking in on guests, which says a lot about their commitment.
Breakfast is worth including in your booking. There's a wide selection, an outdoor smoking area, and a relaxed setting. The Wi-Fi worked seamlessly for five days straight without needing to log in repeatedly, which is rare. Security was strong and consistent, giving me peace of mind during my stay.
A big plus was the list of recommended local restaurants provided at check-in—extensive menus, great food, and nearby. Ironically, the service at those restaurants didn’t match the high-quality service I got at the hotel.
Location-wise: Great"

"Ideal location to visit Borobudur. Go online and book a ticket to get to the top of the temple as numbers are limited. Hotel taxi service perfect. Infinity pool a good size. Get up early to see the sunrise over mount Merapi."
