Favourite city in Indonesia”

We are on a backpacking holiday....but couldn't resist upping the budget just a bit to stay in such a luxurious hotel for still a really great price. The location is good, very close to Prawirotaman road with all the restaurants and bars. Feeling a bit templed out from our travels, having seen Angkor Wat, we decided to forego Borobudur and hire a becak for a day (very very cheap) and see the sites in Yogjakarta (ask for Bagio who usually situates himself outside the Grand palace...he was wonderful!). Recommend hiring a guide to see the Taman Sari (water palace) otherwise you won't see what you need to see.....its a lot of twisting alleys. UNESCO are apparently restoring it soon to how it was centuries ago...it's a very interesting place. Although sadly it will mean displacing the 500 inhabitants! As far as restaurants go, everyone heads for Via Via. Although we felt it was not a patch on another restaurant on the other side, before you get to Via Via, name escapes me, but has a black and white chequered sign with lots of colored lanterns. Ask for the Indonesian vegetable and coconut dish! The staff and ambience are wonderful.

Nice hotel, a little out of the way”

I enjoyed the Grand Palace as soon as I walked in. The cheesy "roman" architecture made me smile because it was silly and impressive at the same time. The gardens were very nice and the swimming pool fit in nicely. The hotel itself was a bit too out of the way for us and we switch to the Dafam Fortuna the next night (best place ever!!!) But the Grand Palace had many good qualities. The hotel is mostly used by Indonesian vacationers so there wasn't an English menu, but the staff worked really hard to get us set-up with a delicious meal. The staff was very very nice. We really liked them. The internet was good too! The room was big and well designed, but we couldn't get a double bed. They did push two bed together, but its hard to say how comfortable it was. The one down side was that at 7:00am a whole bunch of children rushed into the pool and were screaming. Probably just a fluke, but it was a little unpleasant way to wake up as most room face the beautiful swimming pool. (Which is really nice, usually)

a hotel with a cpmlete facilities”

the facilities of the hotel are splash swimming pool,cascade international restaurant,minerva spa,lyre karaoke,24hr rooms service,laundry service dan meeting rooms the grand palace hotel yogyakarta establised on december ,10, 2009. the hotel stands for quaranteed quality service and from the outset has set its mission to seek profitability not only for itself but also for hotel guests.

Good looking hotel, but a bit far from main road”

The first impression of Grand Palace hotel is very good-looking hotel (at least at the lobby). The staffs are really hospitable and helpful. The room is good enough for me & my family. The only downside is this hotel is a bit far from main road (Jl Parangtritis) so you have to have an extra walk to see restaurants, shops or bars. Although the staffs will always offer their help to call a taxi or becak for you, just don't forget to give a nice tip.

Value For Money”

This property is definitely a property value for money. The hotel is very nice decorated with Greek theme and has a nice and relaxing environment. The staff here are very friendly and efficient too. The room condition is slightly old and need sprucing up but the size and amenities of the hotel definitely meets the standard of a good hotel. I will stay here again when I am back to Yogyakarta.

Very good hotel”

We enjoyed very much our stay at the Grand Palace. The service is excellent, always wanting to help you. The breakfast buffet is very good. It has a nice swimming pool. We picked this hotel because we didn't want to be close to the noise of Malioboro street and whenever we wanted to go there we hired a tuc-tuc from the hotel reception.

Nice stay at the Palace”

the hotel really looks like a palace - at least, in a way a western-style kitsch palace is imaginable in java :) it's all here: white tower, white columns, plenty of (rather silly looking) paintings. room quality is still a bit lacking, still. when you enter your room and see how tiny it is, how old the bathroom wasn't repaired, etc, you are likely to be disappointed. what is also missing is silence. it is impossible to sleep at night (not to mention a brief afternoon nap) without earplugs, because something is perpetually cracking, banging, knocking and disturbing you. in the morning it gets worse - e.g., a woman started to scream at my door (or was she just talking to a friend?) at 6 a.m. it seemed to me, she was with a large group of local people with dozens of kids, all there to make noise 24/7 :) the location is close to all nain city attractions, like sultan's palace and the water palace. expect to pay ca. 15-20 ths rupiah for a becak (sort of rickshaw) to get there. malioboro, the main shopping str., is a bit remote, though - but also accessible. the best place to walk in the evening, dine and shop is the prawitoraman str. resume: here, you are paying for the hotel's exterior and for the location. rooms leave much to be desired, however.

My 7 nights stay was amazing! Recommended if you want a nice and quiet environment.”

My room was upgraded and we had the pool view. The receptionist staff was very friendly and he is very resourceful and informative. He provided all the information that we need in detail as we are first timer in Yogyakarta. The other staff was friendly too. They greet us everytime we bumped into the staff. Hotel food was good. We ate at the pool n didnt wait that long for our food. The only thing that i wish they would upgrade was the aircond. Our room aircond was a bit old, So it took a while to cool the whole room. But overall it was Worth it and i enjoyed my stay there.

Palatial setting, quiet location. ”

Clean comfortable room overlooking garden and pool. Mix of Javanese and Greco-Romano features create the 'Grand Palace' effect! The atmosphere is airy and relaxing. Pool itself not up to much, but pleasant to sit around. Good buffet breakfast, and selection of food from the restaurant at other times. Free coffee/tea and nibbles/cakes late afternoon was a nice touch at the end of a day's sightseeing. Located in a quiet road a 10-15 minute stroll from the main Prawirotaman zone of accommodation/restaurants, and a 20,000IDR becak ride away from the Sultan's Palace.

Nice pool and Nice Hotel with enough room size”

staying 3night with family ( 4adult 1kid ) we enjoy the hotel very much as not much of people staying at weeks day. so we have the hotel for our own. service is nice, 24h rooms service with delicius indonesian food. average price not so expensive. surely will choose this hotel again when visiting yogyakarta.

Lovely opulent setting”

Fantastic setting, grand decor and comfortable room. Bathroom small but functional. Very clean throughout hotel. The staff very curtious and helpful. Breakfast a little basic but eggs cooked fresh to order, little other choice. We had lunch in their resturant and it was excellent. Lovely swimming pool.

Grand Hotel”

Very Grand Hotel @ Yogyakarta Very good environment & friendly staff :)

Grand hotel for an affordable price”

Architectural features of the hotel structure is as grand as its name says. Staff were very accommodating and our hotel room is spacious although, toilet and bath looks old.

My stay at the Grand Palace”

This is a strange hotel. It is fairly new, so everything is in very clean condition.The pool area is beautiful and the design of the hotel exteriors is opulent with its garden effect, openness and columns and statuary! But the room I stayed in at least was spartan to the point where there was little on the walls and the sink in the bathroom was actually in the shower! This is not uncommon in many places, but at this level you don't expect that! I suggested to them it might be a good idea to have a safe in the rooms as in most hotels of that cost. Also as a downside, the openness of the hotel is nice, but at night it can be a little noisy until about 10:00. All in all, however, I'd stay there again, just maybe in a different room. The staff is fantastic and always welcoming. The breakfast is also outstanding!

Good value for money and nice pool”

We had a pleasent stay at Grand palace hotel and it's easy to go to the city center for example by becak. The area has some good restaurants, we can especially recommend Kesuma (but make a reservation)

Exceptional”

EXELLLENT excellent !! Wish we had known about this hotel from the beginning. Staff: AVAILABLE 24/7, POLITE, HELPFUL just adorable!! Hotel : CLEAN!! Very well maintained, a clean swimming pool serounded by a beautiful garden NO BUGS!! The building very charming and classy, rooms spacious and comfortable with a fridge, thee&café, flatscreen, FAST wifi connection. Location : OK, even better if you take a " becak" (local ride) if you want to go to Malioboro etc. It was worth every penny!! RECOMMEND a 100% Svoboda Manuel & Layla

artistic hotel in a peaceful location”

This hotel located in the tranquil site of Yogyakarta but close to the main tourist attraction such as Kraton and batik shops. Their staff are very helpful.

Worth for Money !!!!!”

Hotel interiors are look like Romanian colonies & very nice to click pics, Staffs are friendly & serviced in humble way, excellent service and food menus are delicious. Jalan Malioboro is close to reach by paying 20000 rupiah for becha, Good location and pool was clean & good to swim. Room was neat and clean. All basic facilities are provided by the hotel . Overall our stay was amazing. if i visit jogja ,I would like to stay at this hotel again.
