INNSiDE by Meliá Yogyakarta

Fantastic views and an ideal location for visiting Prambanan Temple - Grab taxi/bike is really cheap to get there so you can be there first thing in the morning before all the crowds. I reccommend the bike cause then you get to drive through the countryside. Its a little bit out of the centre of town but Grab taxi's weren't too expensive and I believe there is a bus you can get. The staff were all very nice and polite and the mini fridge had a few different items which were replenished each day which was a nice touch. the beds were amazingly comfy and ridculously huge. I saw the staff cleaning the rooms and it was very thorough - among the best I have ever seen (turning matresses etc). Live music seemed to be provided either downstairs or on the rooftop - but I'm not sure if that was just because it was the holiday season.

So we actually rented a car at the airport and we came to visit the temples around Yogyakarta. For this reason, the hotel location was perfect. It was also important to be able to rest. There were some kids in the hotel but not on our floor (or at least we didn't hear). We checked the gym and the pool but didn't have much energy to use them after whole day trips. The breakfast was buffet style, and we could find enough vegan/vegetarian options. However, there could be a bit more salad variety. Also, on the room service menu, I didn't see for example any soup (even no basic tomato soup, for example) and also no green salad ... I believe we could have requested from the kitchen, but it was not on the menu. The hotel room was neat and tidy. We loved the modern style, the free mineral waters, 1 bottle of ionised water, coffee, tea, and some chocolates. The room also has a hair dryer and small amenities. We really loved the place. The staff were super nice and friendly. Especially two girls at the breakfast. Can't recall their names but one was inside the salad bar and the other was collecting the plates from the tables. They both spoke great English and were really helpful. If we come again to Yogyakarta, definitely plan a stay at this hotel again and will recommend to friends as well. Thank you.

We love the room, quite big room with a king bed, water heater shower is good, aircon is good. And the View of Mt Merapi is amazing! Ms Silvi and Dewi are very helpful over the desk. Everyday greets us with a big smile 😀

Merapi view from the room, magnificent skydeck/rooftop w merapi view. The room size is pretty large. Close to Gudeg/Bakpia spots. Polite and diligent staff. I had to reduce my stay due to schedule and they covered it properly.

- bright, big, clean room - sheets and towels smelled very nice - everything seemed pretty new, modern and well-maintained
