#Indonesia #Yogyakarta #merapi

Considered to be sacred by the locals, Mount merapi is the most active volcano in Indonesia located in the border of Central #Java and the city of Yogyakarta. It has erupted regularly since 1548 with the most recent eruption occured on 18th November 2013. While considered as a tourist attraction nowadays, the danger of eruptions are still a possibility so always check on government warnings and alerts before visiting.

The path up to the #mountain can only be accessed with all-terrain jeeps which are rented at the base of the mountain for around 300-400 thousand rupiah which includes a driver. Also there aren't much trees or covers along the way up so don't forget to bring sunscreen and sunglasses or you will more likely be burned by the sun rather than the lava :)

""The close proximity to the station is very good. The staff is also very kind, which is nice. The rooftop is spacious and has a great sense of openness 😃, so it would be good to come with friends. The room is average. The shower doesn't work. Only hot water comes out of the faucet. Also, the noise from the nearby shops is really loud. People who are sensitive to noise might not be able to sleep until morning. If it weren't for that, it would be five stars.""

10/10 Excellent

"Truly recommend. The building is really nice!"

Novotel Suites Yogyakarta Malioboro

10/10 Excellent

"Location is fantastic, right smack at Jl Malioboro, 10-min walk from the train station, 15-min walk to Mbah Satinem (you gotta eat her breakfast! truly good, not just for the sentimental reasons). We stayed for 5-nites and got a few check-out gifts, which I have never received from any hotels that I've stayed at (nada from Westin, Marriott, Hilton, Ritz, ever!). The only complaints are pricey foods/drinks at poolside areas. There are free-to-use bikes onsite. No issues encountered during the stay, happy with the services!"
