The whole set up. The hotel/hostel is only 3 months old & not many people have stayed here which is a shame. Tea/ coffee/water every day. A great area upstairs, place to hang washing. Photos are exactly as shown. Owner is kind & friendly. I stayed extra days. Oh & the Buddha& fish pond a nice touch. Easy to find tho a sign at the beginning of the alley would help. Close to lots of eating places etc.

The house was in a quiet neighborhood with friendly people around. It was in a good location and the pool was perfect to cool down. The hosts made us a very sweet welcome basket with fresh fruit. We loved the house and will definitely book it again when we come to Yogya.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Cheap hostel, near the train station, with good confortable beds. The room and the toilets are clean. The owner Laura is really nice, she knows a lot about what to do in the city and for your next destinations. She also did a book you can find in the communal area, with all the informations. A plus are the included breakfats and dinner, if you are not too complicated to eat what you get. There are good vibes with a lot of people there in the evening to spend time. Free qater and tea and coffee. For some nights is a good place to stay
