Ddyhx1.5 hrs ride from YIA Airport, but conveniently linked to Pukawon Mall that has pretty much everything you need from nails spa, massage to cinema, shops, eateries, restaurants to supermarket. It's easy (and cheap) to get a grab (local Uber) so not a challenge to get around even to further places.
The room was spacious even for 2, including the bathroom area. Clean and well maintained, cute crab-shaped towel art and welcome amenities as a Bonvoy Gold member. Beds and pillows are a bit soft for my liking (even when I opted for a foam pillow from their pillow menu) but that's a personal preference. All amenities provided in the bathroom.
Service was amazing, such warm smiles and great initiative, from the bell boy who helped with our luggage immediately after we got off the car, to the friendly front desk staff, to the security guards who holds the doors open for us and most of all, the helpful and thoughtful housekeeping team. They saw that we had limited hanging space with too much clothes and put in a standing laundry rack for us, and additional bottles of water, all without asking. Special shout-out to Deelen, Wahyu for the superb service.
The pool looked amazing though I didn't get to try it this time.
Breakfast was also excellent, a wide spread of local, western and Asian. They also offer interesting local herbal beverages. Solomon was thoughtful and offered us to order special items off the buffet when he found out it was our 3rd day of having breakfast at the hotel.
Overall a wonderful stay and I'll be sure to stay here the next time I visit Jogja again.
PperochamIt was a shame the water slide was undergoing long-term maintenance, but other than that, I have no complaints. The sunset view from the 8th-floor terrace is magnificent. The bread from the hotel's bakery is also delicious. I think this is now my preferred hotel in Yogyakarta. As for the location, while it's far from the city center, it's close to Borobudur and Jomblang Cave, and you avoid traffic jams, which turned out to be a good thing. Yogyakarta isn't a very big city, so there's not much benefit to staying in the center just to walk around. However, even though you can easily catch a Grab from the hotel to the city, it takes about 30 minutes one way, making it difficult to return to the hotel for a quick break. Despite this, the facilities and hospitality more than make up for it.
GGuest UserNice hotel, with good ambieance. They have a wide and comfortable bedz and the amenities was great.
Breakfast with a view, the were delicious and had many variations
CCrumpled NomadStaying at ARTOTEL Yogyakarta was a refreshing and enjoyable experience. True to its name, the hotel blends modern hospitality with strong artistic elements, making it stand out from conventional hotels. From the moment you step into the lobby, you’re greeted by bold art pieces and creative design touches that give the place a youthful, contemporary vibe.
The rooms are clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, with just the right balance between functionality and style. While not overly large, the space is well laid out and feels cozy rather than cramped. The bed was comfortable, and overall cleanliness was well maintained throughout the stay.
Location-wise, ARTOTEL is convenient for exploring Yogyakarta, with easy access to cafes, local eateries, and key attractions. The staff were friendly and helpful, adding to the pleasant experience.
Overall, ARTOTEL Yogyakarta is a great choice if you enjoy boutique-style hotels with character and personality. It’s not just a place to sleep, but a creative space that reflects the vibrant cultural spirit of the city.
NnitsreFront desk is friendly but lack care or professionalism. Waited a while without being told that the golf cart was already there. My wife slipped at the high staircase where the mat skidded because of water beneath. It was scary to imagine what could have happened. Told the front desk a, she did not care or show any concern. TV had no channels. The housekkeping restaurant staff were very very sweet but unprofessional was the pool area. No one there knew how to go all the way through to complete their job in a satisfying manner. When leaving the front desk guy did not ask if we gave deposit or id. Just waiting for us to forget. The best: bathroom, the woods, the bed, the pool, room service, resto is not bad, but pizzas sold out and NO SPA, why? for the price we paid in the holidays. This spa trick, unfortunately, many hotels play it.
MMrSenGreat hotel, good view from the room at the city. But even better (actually amazing) 360° view from the rooftop, including of course towards Merapi.
The room is good, there is a nice pool on the rooftop, as well as a good bar. No pool towels, though.
The gym is very small and has a funny triangular shape, was a bit overcrowded with only 6 people at the same time.
Only downside was the breakfast, fresh omelette was good, but some of the sweet bakery goods among the most tasteless things I've ever had.
That said, still a great hotel with a nice art focused lobby and friendly staff. Would recommend.
MMuhammad IrfadHotel is not bad. Location is accessible, But cleanliness wise still can do better.
The Toilet , bathroom and balcony is not clean even after doing room service,
Furnishing is a little bit outdated. The room smells musky
The bellboy manning the drop off is not that good cos seeing me struggling with my luggage in the rain, he did not even offer to help despite having an umbrella. Did not even help us to open the door. Me and my partner struggle to bring our luggage up the slope, in the rain and drenched. Im not sure why, but for the 4 days 3 night im there, the doorbell didnt even offer to help or assist..
For a top 10 hotel in jogja, the bell boy can do better with service wise.
But the Front desk and concierge is very friendly..
BBumpyOnly 2 good things about this hotel: service and breakfast spread - these are 5 stars! 👍
The rest are not up to expectations.
1. Location is far from town and airport.
2. Amenities are very old. A lot of things are spoiled and yet not replaced or repaired.
3. Because everything is old and dated, they look dirty too. Bedsheets are full of stains!
4. Water pressure of shower is very low. Take a long time to bathe.
I booked here just because the event I was going to was hosted in this hotel. Glad that I didn’t extend my stay after the event. I am sorry but I won’t recommend this hotel.
GGuest UserThe hotel feels a bit old, the lobby is OK, but the lighting in the room is too dim and I'm not used to it. The service staff is very good. My friend left the things he brought in the lobby and almost forgot about them when we left. Thanks for reminding me.
