This was the worst hotel we stayed in on our trip to Indonesia. The staff were not welcoming, no restaurant or bar in hotel. Breakfast was minimal, extremely basic and almost inedible. No atmosphere. The area around the hotel was not great, you need to get a taxi to somewhere decent to eat. Not within walking distance of Borobudur entrance. Our request to checkout an hour later was denied even though we were probably the only people staying in hotel. Give it a miss, I would not recommend at all. That said the swimming pool was nice.

Like other places in Indonesia, and most of Asia, the staff were exceedingly kind. The building is an open-style throwback to the Dutch or brief English colonial era, with soaring ceilings (even in the guest suites), palm trees in the interior courtyard, etc. The few grumbles I have must absolutely be taken in the context of the fact that these people only a few months earlier opened after three years of having no tourists b/c of the pandemic. The ceiling fan in my bathroom was so loud I preferred having the extra humidity to the noise. But when I mentioned this to the staff the problem was fixed immediately. Also, poor drainage in the shower. There were a few other signs of wear and rear, but the room was clean, the air conditioning somewhat effective, and the place really nice. Extremely convenient to Candi Borobudur. The dining hall was nice. My deal included breakfasts, which were plenty. Some days they’d have a buffet, others you’d order the day before. Lunch and dinners were about 3 times the cost of the local “restaurants”—more like street stalls, really—but if you prefer not being interrupted by stray cats and minstrels, it’s worth the few extra dollars. Overall, 7/10.

かなり古めかしい。 コンセントプラグは変換器がないと使えない。 （ホテルで貸してもらえる） ボロブドゥール寺院の入場ゲートから徒歩５分程度で便利。 ただし、ボロブドゥール寺院から出る時はぐるぐると遠回りさせられるので注意。

The hotel is brilliantly located ten minutes walk from Borabadur temple grounds and in the middle of the town - easy walk to plenty of food options, local market and just a stroll around the back streets. The staff are fantastic and helpful (we had a 4:30am departure and they packed us a great breakfast). It’s a 3 star hotel and exactly what you’d expect. People note the Mosque nearby and the early morning call to prayer but if you want to stay in the town that is inevitable. Only criticism would be it’s time to invest in new towel sets (perfectly clean but old)

遺跡からすぐ、自然の中の豪華な建物と素敵なおもてなし

スタッフはどの時間帯の人も親切で感じがいい ＜部屋は素敵なインテリアと高い天井だが設備には問題がある＞ シーズンオフで他のゲストとはチェックイン時に一人会っただけ、とても静か。その静けさの中、よく効くエアコンと換気扇を切ると天井に何かの機械音が大きく響いていた。換気扇を付けて音を中和？させ＋耳栓でぐっすり眠った。 遺跡観光後シャワーを浴びようとしたら洗面所の床に置いたままのバスマットとタオルからミニコオロギみたいなのが飛び出しビックリ。お湯は出るが排水は良くない、でも一段下がっているので溢れる程では無い。 部屋の照明が暗いのは、一階でプールサイドや庭から室内が見えない為には良いが、洗面台だけは明るい照明にしてほしい。ドライヤーはチェックイン時に申告して貸出制（とても小さい） ＜素敵な朝食＞ ジュニアスイートの大きなベッドに一人で一泊。二人分の朝食付きとあり冗談だと思ってたら、チェックイン時、インドネシア料理とアメリカ料理（と時間）を選ぶ際に「二人分だから両方から選んでいいよ。」と！！ 朝食は席に着いてから炒める音が聞こえて、出来立て。インドネシア料理のミーゴレン（複数から選べる）もアメリカ料理のオムレツ（プレーンとミックスから選ぶ）どちらもすごく美味しかった！パンもフルーツも選べる（私は盛合せ。スイカとパパイアあとパイナップル？） ＜緑も花も多くて素敵な庭＞ 到着時（日没後）も散歩したが、朝散歩すると見たことない花や南国の花が木に沢山咲いていていい感じ プールから見てチェアのある小さな建物と右側の宿泊棟の間の小道の先の扉は開いていてホテル正面のロータリーへ出られる。夜、外の門やその扉が閉められたかは分からない。戸締りと、女性はカーテンの開閉に気を付けるべき ＜その他＞ 充電は壁の中途半端な所にあったのでトローリーケースを台にして充電。扉の開閉はかたく感じたが、ヨーロッパのほど重くは無い。思いっきり押せば大丈夫 昼に沢山食べたのと、一人旅なので日没後外出しなかったが、ドライバーによると近所に沢山食べる所があって「ここも」「あそこも」と教えてくれた。人が歩いていなかったし、薄暗いので女性一人には・・どうでしょう？

・ドライヤーがなかった。聞いたら貸して貰えたかもしれないが面倒で自然乾燥にしましたが。 ・引き出しの一つの取っ手が壊れたままなど、若干雑なメンテナンス。 ・値段に対し少し高く感じる。検索写真が綺麗過ぎ。 ・ボロブドゥールには近くて便利 ・タクシー問い合わせに回答なかった ・上記のようなプチ不満はあったが周囲の建物と比較すると格段に快適なレベルなのかもしれないです。
