Hotels With spa in Central Java, Indonesia

This was my first time staying at Khas Semarang. I arrived around 12 pm and the hotel was very crowded because there was an event that day. The staff told me check-in was only at 2 pm, which is fine, but the problem was there were basically no seats available in the lobby to wait. They suggested I sit in the restaurant instead. Honestly that felt a bit strange since it’s Ramadan and people are fasting. Anyway, as a local I didn’t really mind, so I just went to Paragon Mall which is about 10 minutes away to kill some time. The room itself was quite clean and had all the basic amenities, so no issue there. For sahur, I requested breakfast to be delivered at 3 am. It only arrived around 3:30 am. When I asked the staff why it was late, they said they had to deliver to more than 20 rooms first. That made me wonder why they don’t just open a simple sahur buffet to make things easier for everyone. The soto was actually nice, but unfortunately it was already cold by the time it arrived. Food overall was decent. One thing I like about this hotel is the location. There are quite a few nice cafés around and many of them are open 24 hours, so it’s easy to find somewhere to hang out late at night if you want.

All the staff are friendly. Although the room wasn't too big, it was clean, and the toilet was clean. What I liked most was the balcony. The AC was cold, and there were no issues with the hot water. The breakfast had many options, even though I only enjoyed the salad, fruit, and pastries. It didn't feel like I was in a hotel; it was really comfortable, just like home. The restaurant staff were all friendly too. I bought food from outside and they were happy to heat it up for me and lend me utensils. There's also a coffee shop right in front, so no need to go anywhere else. Every Friday and Saturday, there's an 'angkringan' (street food stall) on the hotel terrace with live music. Now, when I go to Solo, I don't want to stay at any other hotel; I'm completely satisfied with Fim by Zigna.

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.

In terms of atmosphere, this hotel actually met our expectations quite well, especially as we prefer a place that is not too crowded, with a natural tropical landscape and an ethnic-rustic architectural style. The room size was also quite spacious, noticeably larger than a typical hotel room. Another plus point was the Smart TV, which made the children happy as they could watch Netflix comfortably. However, we were rather disappointed with the condition of the room, particularly the bathroom. There was a strong unpleasant odor, similar to a septic tank smell, coming from the toilet/WC area, which was quite disturbing and affected our comfort during the stay. The bathroom also seemed poorly maintained, as seen from the cracked/chipped toilet water tank. In addition, the bathroom ceiling looked untidy and appeared to be sagging on one side. Another issue that bothered us was the presence of many large black ants inside the room, especially around food. The swimming pool was also not very comfortable, as the chlorine level seemed too high, causing irritation to the eyes and nose when exposed to the water. As for the restaurant, the food variety was rather limited. What surprised us even more was that omelets or eggs were limited to one portion per guest. Overall, we believe this hotel has good potential in terms of atmosphere, concept, and room size. However, for a 3-star boutique hotel with a rate of around IDR 900,000 per night, the condition of the facilities and the overall stay experience did not feel proportionate. In our opinion, the hotel is somewhat overpriced.

Good place to stay with affordable and reasonable price. This is my view when I’m visiting 3days4 night for my business trip. Services is perfect. But the door seems hard to open. Probably need to improve that. Overall best value.

As mentioned on my previous review the hotel tomorrow and provides a really good however aging amenities and hotel experience. The stay was good the food was amazing however I do have to say that in the four star hotel class in central samarang there are a lot of other choices so feel free to take a look at those first but do not leave novotel entirely out of your list.

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!

The hotel is great, close to everything. Breakfast was good, and it was the best price from Trip.com.

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 location is fantastic if you want to walk to the Old Town, only about a 5-minute stroll. Parking is ample and free, and the lobby is spacious. The room was decent. We got two complimentary drinks (note that the large bottled water isn't free, you have to pay for that 😅). It feels like this hotel has been around for a while but has undergone continuous renovations. Overall, it's pretty good for the price.
