5-Star Hotels in Central Java, Indonesia

It's very convenient to shop, a big mall just in the same building. Poncol train station is about one kilometre away. The basic room is quite large and spacious with separate bathroom and shower. Service was fine. The downside was the bedsheets and pillows cases were dirty and we found small hairs, we felt like they were not changed after previous guest/guests, we had to ask guest relations to change them. Breakfast was full of local food.

Overall, it was great! The location is excellent, making it very convenient for getting around. The hotel's food and drinks were also good, and they offered some unique and visually appealing cocktails that tasted just as good as they looked. Plus, the view from the room's window was beautiful. Thumbs up!

On the recommendation of close friends, we chose to try Padma Hotel Semarang for our stay in Semarang, and we absolutely did not regret it. We truly enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was extensive and delicious, the rooms were clean and comfortable, the gym was beautiful, and the coffee and pastries at Goolali were also of excellent quality. Combined with the beautiful entrance and the warm atmosphere of the hotel, it created a very pleasant overall experience. What stood out the most to us, however, was the outstanding service from the staff. We would especially like to thank Mr. Syahrul for his professionalism and friendly service during breakfast. One small point for improvement would be the speed of the Wi-Fi, especially when using YouTube on the television. We certainly hope to return next year, hopefully for a longer stay.

Away from the hustle and bustle of yogya. Being in the city can be overwhelming, hence this location is just right, surrounded by nature - birds, clouds and an amazing view. The location is super interesting because the car has to go through so many winds through the village. If U take a morning jeep tour, the jeep will fetch U from the villa with the car top exposed and you can feel the wind in your hair, absorbing the peace from th village and fresh air. They also have a massage, quite expensive but worth it at 450,000 idr per hour. The geckos can be loud at night but that's nature. They have an amazing pool that oversees borobodur and Yogyakarta. The villa door has some ants but I think it's because of the wood? The junior room suite villa roof feels a bit hollow because we can hear the birds jumping and squawking on top of it in the early evening. Food is not fantastic, especially their breakfast. But since they locally produce long beans, try their long beans. It's crunchy and fresh. Their grilled ayam chicken rice is good too. Their sambal, however, is a must try. Fresh, spicy, tangy! At night, you can hear adzan, which is call for prayer, across the whole of Yogyakarta. An amazing and holy experience.

The staff are very nice and friendly. Unfortunately, very few of them speak English well enough to communicate effectively. For example, at breakfast I explained that I needed a milk substitute because I am allergic to milk. It took around 20 minutes and several attempts before I was able to speak with someone who understood my request. Unfortunately, in the end, they were unable to accommodate it because they did not have any suitable alternatives available. Given that this is an important dietary requirement, I would expect the hotel to have at least one non-dairy option available. I also ordered food to be delivered to my room. If the hotel offers room service, there should be a working credit card machine available in the room, or another convenient way to pay directly from the room. Instead, I was asked to go downstairs to reception to pay the bill. This defeats much of the purpose and convenience of having room service in the first place. Overall, while the staff are very kind and welcoming, the hotel could significantly improve its English communication, dietary options, and room-service payment process. Amenities are good: right pool length to do laps and fully equipped gym!

All the staff at the hotel were incredibly friendly and helpful. The facilities are excellent, and I particularly have to praise their swimming pool. Having stayed in numerous five-star hotels across different countries, I can confidently say their pool is one of the larger ones and impeccably clean. The only downside is that it closes at 8 PM. The hotel's breakfast buffet is incredibly extensive; you're guaranteed to find something you'll enjoy. The restaurant staff are exceptionally attentive. If you dine there for breakfast two days in a row, they'll already remember your preferences and ask if you need anything specific. Furthermore, their Chinese restaurant, Summer Palace, serves outstanding Cantonese cuisine, and the prices are very reasonable. Even the staff in the Chinese restaurant maintain the hotel's consistently friendly service. If you ever have the chance to stay at this hotel, I highly recommend trying their Chinese restaurant.

After booking, I contacted the hotel to arrange the pick-up and other transportation. The hotel responded to the email promptly. The car and driver were also the hotel's own car. Because the hotel is located in the countryside and is relatively remote, I dare not Grab it myself. It turns out that the hotel's car and driver service are very satisfactory. The pick-up in Yogyakarta city is 850,000, and the delivery to Borobudur and waiting, and then the delivery to Yogyakarta hotel is 1300,000.

Our family had a wonderful staycation at this hotel! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to an executive room, which made our stay even more special. The room was spacious, nice and cool, and clean with a 50 inch Smart TV—exactly what we needed for a relaxing getaway. The pool was great, and our kid had an amazing time playing, especially with the new playground. It’s a fantastic place for families, with plenty of space for little ones to have fun. Since it was fasting time, the hotel went the extra mile by sending breakfast to our room, which was a thoughtful touch. The service was excellent throughout our stay, and we truly appreciated the attention to detail. Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend it for a comfortable and family-friendly staycation.

Check-in and check-out were super fast, the location is very strategic, and the room was clean. The AC stopped working for a bit, but we didn't get too hot. Everything is close by. We'll definitely go back if we're in Solo again. The staff were all friendly. Thank you!

The hotel's location is great, right next to the central plaza with a shopping mall and supermarket downstairs. The staff are polite, fluent in English, and efficient. I've stayed here a few times for business and it's been pretty good. The only thing is that the room facilities are a bit old, especially the bathroom – you really need to be careful not to slip.
