Scenic Hotels in Surakarta

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely satisfied with my stay at this hotel. The location is strategic, and the rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The service from all staff members was very friendly, prompt, and professional. Both the check-in and check-out processes were smooth. The hotel facilities are complete, and the breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of options. Highly recommended for both business and leisure travel. God willing, I will stay here again on my next visit."

"the location is very great, the price is good also, just step ahead from train station (solo balapan), so it very easy to reach. there are so many local food near the hotel. the room is not big but very comfy, facility is ok, but the cleanliness especially in bathroom need more improvement.. overall satisfied stays in this hotel"

"Even though it was advertised as a mountain view room, it was really just high up and didn't offer any mountain views. The city itself is quite small. There are plenty of dining options downstairs, and breakfast was decent. You also have the choice of eating at the cafe just outside the hotel."

"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."

"Perfectly located with old-world charm! The Royal Surakarta Heritage wins big on location—right in the heart of Solo, steps from shopping, dining, and cultural spots. The breakfast spread is fantastic: authentic Javanese dishes alongside international favorites, all fresh and flavorful. But the real star is the staff—incredibly helpful, always smiling, and quick to assist with anything; from coffee at breakfast to extra towels and water for the room. Rooms are clean and comfortable, though a bit classic in style (which fits the heritage vibe). Grab around town to almost anywhere is around INR20K. If you want convenience, great food, and warm service without the fuss, this is your spot."

"Perhaps because it was a weekend, the price was different than when I booked it previously. The location is close to various shops and food necessities (culinary) around the city, including the station, travel agencies, other accommodations, and so on."

"My stay at the Aston Solo Hotel was comfortable but left me wanting a bit more. The location is great, situated close to key attractions and local eateries, which made exploring the area easy. The staff were welcoming and helpful, always ready to assist with any queries. However, the rooms felt somewhat outdated; while they were clean, the furnishings and decor could use a modern touch. The bathroom was functional but lacked the amenities I expected. Breakfast was decent but didn’t offer much variety, and the Wi-Fi was often slow. Overall, it’s a solid choice for a budget stay, but I hope to see some updates in the future to enhance the experience."

"We stayed from June 30th and checked out on July 2nd. The service and hospitality from the staff were excellent. Mineral water refills and even requests for plates to our room were handled quickly and efficiently. Thank you, Novotel Solo."
