Scenic Hotels in Surakarta

"Overall, the room and reception were great. As for breakfast, the rawon was too salty, and my Indomie wasn't prepared even after I went back a second time. For the rawon, it would be great if you could taste it before serving it to guests, as not all guests like it too salty. Or, you could make it blander first and provide salt at the rawon counter for guests who prefer it saltier. Regarding the Indomie, I'm not sure if it was forgotten or what happened, but next time, if a guest places an order before management, please prioritize the guest's order."

"first impressions, simple, nice, clean and quite spacious room. minimalist style and cozy. AC was cold. Shower runs well. And there is water dispenser on the hotel corridor for refill. Also 2 water bottle inside the room. I think this is good. The service was good and the staff were nice. the hotel location in-front of the Manahan stadium. You can jogging or have a morning run. Several foods street on the surrounding area. it would be good to be back again later and stay at Zest Parang Raja Solo"

"Honest review.. stay with the expectation of a 5-star hotel, but the experience is not comparable to the price. The lobby and check-in process are quite good, the welcome drink is refreshing, and the concierge helpfully carried the luggage. Basement parking is also relatively easy. Unfortunately, many important details reduce comfort. The door of the room does not have a stopper so it is often slammed loud and noisy. Soundproofing was not good, the sound from the next room was still heard. The room size is relatively small for the standard 5-star, and there is no minibar at all, even a paid one. For mineral water, use plastic bottles, not the premium ones with glass bottles. The lighting system was confusing and the bathroom lighting was too dim. There are 4 elevators but it is very slow.. there is often a buildup of guests. The pool area is also less well-organized such as having no concept and not weather-friendly because there is no shaded area. It's ridiculous, having to pay an extra 200rb for access to the whirlpool and jacuzzi. Breakfast was a disappointment: the menu options were less varied, the taste was standard, and the service was less warm (officers lacked smiles). Overall, I wouldn't really mind these things if the room price wasn't this muc, but with a rate above Rp 2 million per night, this experience is less worth it. Compared to 5-star hotels in Jogja and its surroundings, it is still quite far behind."

"A month ago, I stayed at Zigna Kampung Batik for our family holiday. We booked the Deluxe Room and the Suite Room, and honestly we had such a pleasant experience here. We were really happy because the hotel gave us complimentary mirror art and a slice cake, such a sweet and thoughtful surprise. Thank you so much for the warm hospitality! The location is super strategic, very close to Kampung Batik Laweyan and many great culinary spots in Solo, so it was easy for us to explore the city. All of the staff were very friendly, helpful, and welcoming during our stay, which made us feel comfortable. The facilities are also quite complete considering the price is still very affordable. Maybe the hotel can improve the cleanliness a little more, especially around the bathroom amenities area, and also minimize missed guest requests for an even better experience. Overall, our stay was really worth it and we truly enjoyed our time here. Definitely will come back again next time we visit Solo!"

"Old hotel but everything is so great. Walking distance to the Mangkunegaran palace if there is any event there. "

"The hotel is clean, smells lovely, comfortable, and quiet. The service is great, friendly, and kind. The facilities are complete. The location is in the city center and close to everything. The food is varied and delicious. My husband and I really enjoyed our 2-night stay there. Next time, we'll stay there again and bring the family."

"From the moment you arrive at FIM by Zigna, it becomes clear that this is no ordinary 3-star hotel. Everything feels considered, refined, and quietly elevated in a way that far exceeds expectations. The first impression is striking—the exterior is immaculate, with a sense of care that immediately sets the tone. Step inside, and that same attention to detail continues seamlessly into the rooms. They are spotless, thoughtfully designed, and maintained to a standard that would not feel out of place in a well-rated international 4-star property. What truly elevates the experience, however, is the management and ownership behind it all. There is a noticeable precision in how everything operates—from the smooth check-in process to the overall atmosphere of calm efficiency. It’s clear that someone is paying close attention to the finer points that many hotels overlook. The staff deserve special recognition. They are consistently polite, professional, and impressively efficient without ever feeling rushed or impersonal. Service here strikes that rare balance between warmth and competence. Breakfast is another highlight—genuinely exceptional. The quality, variety, and presentation go beyond what you would typically expect at this level, turning what is often a routine meal into something to look forward to each morning. Location-wise, it’s hard to fault. Perfectly positioned for exploring Solo, everything feels conveniently within reach. All things considered, the 3-star rating is genuinely surprising. By international standards, this hotel comfortably performs at a 4-star level, if not beyond in certain aspects. FIM by Zigna is a standout example of what happens when strong management, attention to detail, and genuine care for the guest experience come together."

"everything is comfortable, only the bathroom drain is a bit clogged, the light in the mini bar is also off but the food is all delicious, the room is comfortable"

"The room is very small, but it's fine for a short stay. They do have a common area with free tea and coffee, which is a nice touch. However, what I didn’t like was the number of staff present during breakfast. It felt like they were watching what we ate too closely, which made me uncomfortable—almost as if they thought we were going to steal something. It would be better if guests were made to feel more relaxed and trusted."
