They lock the door so you sometimes have to wait outside for someone to come and let you in. I usually didn’t have to wait long though. The location isn’t that good for walking everywhere. It’s a beautiful neighbourhood but not really walking distance to food

The cleanest place I have ever stayed. The staff are also very helpful and free breakfast is great. Rooms are big and have everything you need. The house itself is beautiful

Room did not have hair dryer. Have to request separately.

Breakfast was the best, it's even better than that served at 4/5 star hotel. Staff excellent service.

The villa is very elegant, colonial style, and at the centre of Kraton. The Palace and the evening Street food park is walking distance. The rooms are very clean and local breakfast is delicious. Maria and her colleague are very helpful and kind and always smiling. We really enjoyed it!

bathroom config a bit awkward with shower door opening inwards. WiFi is patchy and slow… kept timing out resulting in eventually using my own data.

Very Clean, great location, walking distance to Alun Alun and other main attractions. Staff very helpfull.

Location was in the old area surrounding the Sultan's palace, which was some distance from Malioboro St and other lively areas attractive to western visitors. Great for sights for Indonesian tourists, however. On the other hand, Grab cars were incredibly cheap and readily available and took us everywhere.

The staff were really great, especially Maria, and breakfast had western, Javanese and vegan options. The western breakfast was fruit, toast, juice, omelette and jams every day. The Javanese option was different every day but always very good. The room was very good and there was an ensuite. Air conditioning was excellent. Note, however, it was a homestay and did not have the facilities that one would expect from a hotel room. Nevertheless a very interesting place different from other locations favoured by westerners.

This is a beautifully decorated house. Room is spacious, shower is good. Breakfast is good. It’s very near to Taman sari,

Stayed in June 2024

Hot water shower, but didn’t really need it because the tepid water was cooling.

Maria was excellent with helping us with transportation and things to do and where to eat. Bram was also very attentive to our needs at breakfast. We were there for 3 nights and each morning was a different delicious and beautifully presented breakfast. The location was ideal for walking to the sites. Other than morning prayer at 4:45, it’s a very quiet location.

Perfect housekeeping by a team led by Maria. Friendly and considerate staff. Maria made all arrangements for our day tours, gave us tips and recommendations for eating out and places to see, and she and her team made our stay a pleasant one. Special thanks to Maria, Diyana, Rizal and Brahm for that.

The hotel was in a quiet area but close enough to walk to some of the attractions. The staff were very friendly and helpful in arranging a couple of tours.The room was a good size and nice bed. Breakfast was available in the mornings.

We had a comfortable stay here. The property itself is quite striking and tastefully done. Room was spacious, clean and cleaning was done daily. Staff were helpful and accommodating.

The room could use repainting Tiny sink in the bathroom Coffee was very basic - just pouring hot water over ground coffee, no milk, just creamer. Coffee machine with real milk would be great.

Elegant building Good traditional breakfast Very polite staff Comfy bed Overall very good experience

Colonial architecture and the displayed art pieces give the property a fine feel. The room was very clean, I love the simple, minimalist designs. Facilities provided were also very good. I would definitely recommend the traditional breakfast to all those who stay here. Walking distance to nice streetfood, shops and cafés. Great value for money.

The best place I have ever stayed. The room is super clean. Cleaner than my own house. The building is very beautiful, as well as the decoration inside. Staff are really nice and helpful; I saw some comment of whom stayed here before said that they not really speak english, but they are good at it, they speak english, at least we understand each other 😁. The breakfast is not vary. But it is enough; there are choices of continental breakfast and vegan option, fresh juice and fresh fruits. You can also mix. This place might far for the centre but it is walkable to Jl. Prawirotaman and Jl. Parangtritis where you can find a lot of good place to eat. We walked; it took us almost half an hour 🤣There are also a local night market 2 min walk. The gate will be lock at 11pm, if you are going to be late at night, you need to let them know before you leave. The door to the building is always locked, just knock the door they will be right there 😁 Please see the pictures. This place is worth every rupaih I have paid for.

We visited over the idulfitri holidays, so everything was closed for 4 days during our stay. The shops on Marliboro and the Borodubur and Prambanan temples were open, but they were hard to get to from the hotel without a taxi. We ended up making daily excursions with Grab drivers.

The hotel is located just two blocks from the southern ulun ulun (open square) of the Keraton, within walking distance of most historical landmarks in the city. The rooms are immaculately maintained by the staff, and the common areas are nicely furnished and comfortable.

An absolute oasis. It is a beautiful place in a very quiet area. Maria was a wonderful host. It is a great area to walk around, especially Alun-Alun Kidal Square at night. Easy walk to the Water Palace and Sultans Palace. The Bale Raos restaurant, as recommended by Maria, is nearby and a must visit! Walking through narrow alleys to get there reminded us of Venice.

As written above, it was possible to hear the noise of the external units of the AC. Too much light, impossible to avoid it in the morning. Uncomfortable pillows. I rarely felt so tired after a few days spent trying to sleep in a place.

The palace is beautiful, like a museum. And clean. And quiet... even if outside you can often hear the noise of the external units of the AC. There is the water dispenser very convenient also for coffee and tea. It's possible to work with the laptop from the room, table and chair are comfortable enough and wifi is good. Breakfast is punctual and good.

I would highly recommend the Griya Asih, it is an beautiful traditional House with 6 rooms. The staff were always very helpful and kind and we ended up, due to illness, relying on their help a bit. It's a small team of staff and they were just great. The breakfast was very very good, and resulted in us not needing lunch, it consisted of local food that was very well cooked and presented, and there was European choices as well. The rooms were clean and quite big and the on-suite bathroom was clean with an excellent shower that could deliver a real blast of water if needed. It's in a quite road about 150 meters from a main square that comes alive with families and friends at night, it's clearly a local focal point and was fun to walk around in the evening. Overall a really good 5 nights.
