1001 Malam hotel is excellent”

Very nice hotel, though entering lane ( kampoeng), unavailable car parking for me isnt problem, usualy the traveler come to Jogjakarta by flight and they can arrange their transportation by hotel rent car or searching internet to rent a car. I like the hotel/ accomodation without car park, make our eyes fresh and rejuvenate our soul, The bf very tasteful and great, polite and friendly staff, if You visit Yogyakarta, must to do is stay at this hotel, lunch or dinner at Raminten Kotabaru (House of Raminten) please would you mind searching by internet! , visit Sultan Palace as called Keraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat, and must visit the Borobudur and Prambanan Temple, 1001 Malam hotel walk distance to Malioboro str and we can shoping any handycraft, eating in the street as called angkringan, and rides horse cab as called delman, very nice hotel I have stayed in Yogya, with reasonable price and very good service. I will come back to 1001 Malam Hotel at the next visit to Yogyakarta

an oasis in a desert..!!! fantastic...!”

Just came back from YogYakarta Holiday last week.Stay at Hotel 1001 Malam for 3 nights from 15th-18th Dec 2012. Impressive hotel just 100 meter from Malioboro shopping arcade and busy street. Very closed to everywhere and centrally location. The room is extremely large with king size bed. Staff service were very good. Really nice hotel. Will stay here again for my second visit in future.

A Hidden Treasure in Bustling Jogja”

I'm glad I opted for Hotel 1001 Malam during my stay in Jogja for 3N/4D as it met (even exceeded) my expectations. I was highly satisfied with the strategic location, comfortable & spacious room, and helpful staff. It's what you'd actually consider a value-for-money accommodation. I availed of the hotel's airport pick-up service and was promptly responded to (Thanks Hartini). One of the hotel's drivers, Tom, was also very pleasant and helpful. All of the staff willingly provided support and answered questions as best as they can. You can also get around Malioboro Street easily from the hotel (by foot or becak). I suggest walking though so that you can have a feel of the city. If you'd like to try the becak, ask for the average rate (given your destination) at the front desk as some becak operators have difficulty conversing in English and may overcharge you. If you'd like to just sit back and relax, you may do so outside your room and there are even restaurants nearby with great ambiance. I tried the one in front of the hotel and they serve great local dishes and coffee (with nice interiors/artworks too). I think the only trouble I had with the hotel is its Wi-Fi connection, which is excruciatingly slow if you're staying at the 2nd level. You'd have to go down to gain faster internet access. Overall, I enjoyed my stay at the hotel and highly recommend it to fellow travelers. If you're looking for a unique accommodation factoring in value-for-money, this is the place for you. :)

Sweet little garden oasis in Jogs”

Hotel 1001 Malam is tucked down a narrow alleyway near Malioboro Rd in Jogs and despite its proximity to everything, it was surprisingly quiet at night. The rooms are decorated well and the beds are comfortable for Indonesian standards (if you're used to soft Western beds). The unique hand-painted art on the walls and room decor are a treat. The garden is lovely and the water fall adds a soothing touch. Don't be surprised that the rooms all face in on each other. It is very quiet nonetheless. Planes do fly quite low overhead as this is on the flight path. It is within walking distance to Malioboro (only five minutes walk). Hotel 1001 Malam is one of the best modest budget stays in the area.

Good location; friendly/helpful staff”

The Hotel 1001 Malam is located about 5 minutes walk from both the train station and Jl. Malioboro (the location of Yogyakarta's main tourist attractions). There are plenty of good restaurants and tour companies nearby (can also get tours from the hotel). It is up a small alley, however, so not that easy to find. Probably best to ask around. Generally, the hotel is quite peaceful, but it is near a mosque and directly under the flight path for the airport. However, at night there are no planes, so it is not a big problem. The hotel's staff are very helpful. I was a single traveler and could not use their tour service, but they recommended another tour service which worked out very well. While in the hotel, I broke my laptop screen trying to fit the laptop into a too-small safe. The manager drove me to an electronics mall to try to get it fixed. Unfortunately, it was not possibly to fix in Yogyakarta (at least for a reasonable price), but I appreciated his help.

Wonderful ”

Its a wonderful experience staying at Hotel 1001 Malam. My family love the ambience, the room, facilities and the most and helpful staff. We would love to come back to Hotel 1001 Malam for next visit to Yogyakarta.

Great hotel and so relaxing”

what a great hotel this is. tucked away off sosorw street down a gang passing lovely restaurants you will find 1001 malam. the room was large and clean. bed comfy and a/c working great. bathroom large and clean also. they offer breakfast which is basic but good and delivered to a spot in the hotel of your choosing. nescafe coffee or tea can be had 24 hours if desired. as i said the rooms are large and clean with in-room safe. the room is basic (no bedside tables which i thought odd) and there is no tv which could be a good thing or bad depending on your pov. being a solo traveler i thought a tv would be nice to have as kind of "company" in the room even for background noise so it was a bit boring otherwise. but if it's absolute quiet you desire then by all means. i would recommend this hotel for either solo or families or couples. friendly staff and compy rooms with very reasonable rates. the restaurant across the sidewalk is delightful also. they have free wifi but will charge for internet use. the hotel is two levels; "u" shape with lovely courtyard filled with tropical plants and trees to give the added feel of privacy. two thumbs up!!!

Amazing Service at quaint Thousand and One Nights”

I had a very good stay with Hotel 1001 Malam (Thousand and One Nights Hotel when translated from Bahasa). I touched down Jogja at 6.50am and thought I might have a problem checking-in so early, like most of other hotels. But not at all. The moment I mentioned my name, they were already expecting me and promptly directed me to the room. The hotel is really cozy and as a single, female traveler, I felt very safe. It is extremely close to many food places and is very central, though you have to enter through a narrow street (Gang 2) to get to the Hotel. When they found out that I had an early flight out, I was offered a very reasonably priced Airport transfer on their large sedan (Rupiah 70,000). What a SERVICE!

Lovely oasis in an alley full of character”

Agoda failed to send notification of my reservation so Hotel 1001 Malam had no knowledge of my arrival and hence no available room. Luckily they were very understanding (I showed them my reservation confirmation on my iPhone) and the head lady put me up for one night in the neighboring hotel (which was also nice). Stayed in Hotel 1001 Malam for 3 nights. It's conveniently located in a downtown alley that has lots of restaurants. One end of this alley is Jalan Sosrowijayan which has most of everything a tourist needs: tour agents, restos, hotels, street vendors, etc. The staff are all friendly and speak English. Internet works well.

A surprisingly nice and artsy hotel in an alley”

We had a convenient and relaxing stay at Hotel 1001 Malam. Although the hotel is located in an alley, the hotel affords easy access to shopping malls, money changers and all the other city amenities. Our room has a nice garden outside and one can take complimentary coffee while relaxing in a very quiet surrounding. The staff is always attentive to our needs and Yosha the female driver that was assigned to the tour was very funny and informative as well.

Great Little Treasure”

3 of us stayed there for a weekend and we would definitely stay there again. It's extremely underrated for the price. 1001 Malam has a bohemian feel with a nice unexpected nature style decor, it's hidden down a narrow lane way in a busy tourist district. The staff are exceptionally helpful, the breakfast was pretty good. Free wifi though typically slow as in all Indonesian hotels. All in all, for the price and location its a pretty good buy, check it out.

Like no other ”

Had an awesome stay. Surroundings are indeed calm and relaxing. Amenities about 5 to 10 minute walk to the famous Malioboro street which is simply a haven of Batik. The carriage horse ride is magnificent where you get to pass by and see the hustle and bustle of the city life. Hotel 1001 malam is the place where YOU will want to stay in. A small from the outside but hearty on the inside. Satisfaction guaranteed.

Such a wonderful stay”

Pros: The location of the hotel is excellent, in the alley opposite Yogyakarta train station, just 100m from the station to the hotel and 300m walk to Malioboro shopping area. There are many hotels and motels here, but I think this is the best hotel in this alley area. The hotel has lots of green trees so it's cool though it's extremely hot outside. Room are airy, bathroom is large very clean, hot water and hand basins outside are convenient. Breakfast is delicious and it's delivered to your room. There is a hot water tank for you to make tea and coffee at all times at the lobby. The hotel staff is extremely enthusiastic. They prepared take-away breakfast for us because we went to Borobodur very early. Laundry service of the hotel is very cheap, only from 10k IDR / kg, may be cheaper than laundry shops outside. You can book transportation services at hotel to go to the famous tourist attractions, or next to the hotel there are shop offering this service. Cons: Wifi signal is weak.

Excellent night!”

Although we were at 1001 Malam only for one night, it was a most pleasant experience! The warmly decorated room had a the ceiling fan that worked superbly, hence we didn't even need the AC. Plus, the bed was massive. There are two seats right outside the room, and just a few paces away was the patio where a small pantry sits. Not much of a view, but it was still nice being outside (a bit further) away from traffic noise and vehicle smog. Staff were very helpful and even changed money for us because money changers were closed at that time (they follow an exchange rate that's the same as that of a reputable money changer nearby). Finally, breakfast was excellent. Highly recommended.

Great service, value, and comfort ”

Great value for great service, comfort, cleanliness. Tucked in a quiet by cosy location, Hotel 1001 Malam is ideal for a budget getaway in the beautiful city of jogja. Although rated 1 star, it's service and cleanliness deserves 4. Hotel manager is a down to earth guy that is unpretentious. Although breakfast was'nt the best, is was decent - hey, who needs hotel breakfast anyway? Wake up early to enjoy authentic local fare!

Wonderful setting, great location”

We booked for three nights here but ended up extending. Had a really relaxing stay, and highly recommend 1001 Malam to other travellers. The hotel is literally around the corner from Yogya's main train station, but unlike other options, is well sheltered from its noise (announcements, comings and goings, etc). Being in a pleasant alleyway off Jl. Sostrowijayan, it is well placed for bars and restaurants, and close to the main Malioboro area. Mal Malioboro, which has a supermarket, bookshops, and a McDonald's, is five minutes' walk, and there is a Circle K handy too. The lobby itself sells cold drinks including beer, which was handy for a few drinks looking over the hotel's courtyard. The staff were really friendly and helpful, most accommodating. Breakfast can be server upstairs in a rooftop cafe sort of area, or on the balcony in front of your room. The menu is basic, but quite well executed with a mix of local and foreign choices. Our room was on the ground floor and was quite basic - just beds, a small dresser and towel rack. There were some pretty neat murals on the wall and the overall decor of the place is very pleasant. Bathroom included a hot shower as well as the more traditional cold water mandi. The room didn't have a TV, but there is one at the front, as well as reliable wifi just about throughout the hotel. Would happily return!

An quite oasis is a great central location! ”

I had a wonderful stay at 1001 Malam - they were wonderful to deal with and helped be go about my work and made my stay a breeze. The rooms are large, spacious and beautifully designed. If you are looking for something close to everything but a world away from the neighbouring busy streets then here is the place!

Friendly staff, great location”

I loved most of things that 1001 Malam could offer. Staff are very friendly. Courtyard is very nice. Walking distance to the market, post office, super market and good restaurants. Please note thathat 1001 Malam only accept cash and don'the worry ATM is located in 3 min walking distance.

Friendly, clean, strategic location”

Been at Hotel 1001 Malam for second time. Definitely their services was at the top rank! I left a pair of shoes and they immediately email me whether to send it back to Malaysia. This shows the integrity among their staffs is not compromised. I suggest that the hotel could upgrade their food service (make it simple buffet) during breakfast in future.

Delightful small hotel well located”

This quirkily decorated hotel is compact, provides excellent service and is clean. The owners run a series of tours (driver and small mini-bus) which can be taken by as few as one or two people. There are a couple of local style restaurants just across the 'road' (about 3 metres wide!). Marlioboro Road is about 3 minutes walk away and is teh centre for shopping and being invited to batik shows that are 'closing today'. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Hotel 1001 Malam and would willingly stay there again.
