superbe piscine...mais autres prestations décevantes
Pros:

-la piscine immense
- calme si on a une chambre au fond loin de la route
- proche de restaurants à quelques minutes à pied. Centre de Borobudur et plus de commerces à 15 min.
L'entrée du temple est à 25 minutes à pied. Il y a des trottoirs, la marche est facile
- Grande chambre et salle de bain
- Petit déjeuner bon et copieux (quand buffet)

Cons:

Les lits sont vraiment inconfortables! Très mous, ça penche, dès que l'un bouge, ça fait tressauter tout le matelas.
L'état des chambres et salle de bain n'est pas au niveau attendu: les draps semblent lavés mais il reste des taches, la salle de bain mériterait un bon rafraîchissement (joins jaunis, métal rouillé par endroit, etc )
Un des matins, je suppose que nous étions les seuls clients, nous n'avons pas eu de petit déjeuner en buffet mais seulement 1 assiette à choisir parmi 3 choix. C'était bon mais beaucoup moins copieux...et le prix de la chambre était le même :-(

posizione e prezzo ottimi: base eccellente per visitare Borobudur
Pros:

ottimo prezzo ed ottima posizione per visiare Borobudur: da valutare che attorno non c'è praticamente niente ed è distante dagli aeroporti.
Bella piscina comune, aperta h24; staff cordiale e buona colazione

Cons:

stanza carina ma abbastanza minimal; alcune camere hanno il tipico bagno indonesiano, all'aperto, quindi con purtroppo il problema di zanzare e insetti vari
il posto è abbastanza isolato, quindi anche lontano da Yogyakarta

Pros:

L’accueil, la piscine le trampoline! Le personnel trop mignon qui a chanté son anniversaire à notre bébé qui fêtait ses 1 an !

Cons:

Les jeux pour enfants pourraient être un peu plus nettoyés mais c’est un service que nous avons quand même appréciés!

很舒服，但也就只有舒服。
Pros:

房間大且舒適，有度假的感覺，服務友善。

Cons:

早餐一般沒亮點，露天衛浴房型有蚊子，房間沒有吹風機和冰箱，插座只有本地型式，必須使用轉換頭，步行範圍內沒什麼商店，也沒有好吃的，可以叫外賣。

Good
Pros:

The room was really comfortable, and the hotel is surrounded by lots of food places and mini marts, so it was super easy to find food just by walking around

Other than that, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Keep up the good service 👍

Cons:

There were a few things missing. A basic thing like a hair dryer should’ve been provided, but there wasn’t one in the room. Another thing is the room lock system from inside.. you still need to use the physical key even when locking/unlocking from inside the room. I think this could be inconvenient during emergencies like a fire or anything unexpected while sleeping, because it may slow people down from getting out quickly
