Duta Garden Hotel

The hotel was great, outside the main roads of Yogya and therefore it was very quiet. It had everything we needed, the staff was always ready to help and support all of our requests and needs. We really appreciated them putting us in contact with a local travel agency through which we organized few tours. The breakfast was also great and served outdoors - we loved being sorrounded by trees, gardens and frogs. The pool was perfect for a relaxing day! The location was great, there were lots of restaurants and places to visit right by the hotel! We could also ask last-minute for a late check-out. We loved everything, definitely recommend and hope we can make it there again someday :)

There's nothing we did not like.

This was possibly the most beautiful and unusual place I have ever stayed. The rooms range from very simple to almost lavish, but the real appeal is the wonderful gardens, water falls, and pools. Fish, frogs and birds abound around the property, which is an island of peace in the middle of busy Yogyakarta. The staff are extremely helpful and sweet, and helped us figure out travel plans, make calls, and facilitated interactions with tour operators. Wonderful people in a wonderful place!

At times, there were too many smokers lurking around the pool and on their porches.

The location is great. It is where tourists can find good local and foreign food, all within walking distance. The location is generally tranquil except at certain times of the day. There is a nearby laundry service that provides a value-for-money service. If you do not like the hotel's shampoo, you can buy it from the small shop nearby for around 10 cents per sachet. And the place is so safe and clean. I especially like the Asian selection for the breakfast. Every morning they have hot noodles, rice, 1 meat and 1 vegetable. They provide at least 2 kinds of fruits and eggs are cooked on the spot to your preference. Can't ask for more. The beds are sufficiently hard and comfortable.

If you are looking for 5-star hotel kind of furnishing, this hotel is not for you. While generally clean, the fixtures (especially bathroom fixtures) are quite run down. It is OK for me, but not for everyone. You also get occasional insects entering the room. The other thing I did not enjoy was the loud wake-up call for morning prayers starting from 4:45 am (from different mosques). However, having been to many parts of Indonesia, it is something you cannot escape from.

The room was great, comfortable, with a balcony overlooking the lovely garden and pool. It's a beautiful and peaceful hotel. The location is also nice - next to some great bars and restaurants -- although fairly far from Malioboro street. But it's easy to get taxis or becak so this isn't an issue if you don't want to walk.

The only issue is that the hotel doesn't seem well set up to deal with tourist queries - in terms of responding on tours to the temples or public travel. So you need to do your own research. But it's a beautiful place and I was very happy overall.

The hotel is located in a strategic position with a lot of cafes, bars and restaurants within walking distance. I loved the pool and the waterfall was beautiful to look at and relaxing to listen to. The ladies at the front desk are helpful and the rooms are clean.

The rooms are a bit dated and they need a revamp, especially the bathroom. I always like the idea of an open bathroom as long as there are nets on the windows. Otherwise you are at the mercy of the mosquitos! A mini fridge would be a nice addition to the rooms.

I very rarely award 10/10 for a hotel but had no hesitation with this one. I was involved in a traffic accident the day I checked out which left me injured and in quite a lot of pain. I had to stay on at the hotel for about another 5 days and they could not have been more helpful. Among other things they ran errands for me - as with getting medicine and dressings from the pharmacist - and helped me move my luggage. I was really impressed. I lovely hotel run by very nice staff Thank you all for your help!

Nothing

The location was perfect and allowed us to walk to the lovely streets and sample amazing gelato and buy beautiful batik. The hotel itself was like an oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the busier areas and the room was very generous and beautifully cleaned every day.

The noise from the nearby mosque was quite prominent and woke us up early occasionally - but it was nice to be in an otherwise quiet and peaceful spot.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Duta Garden. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. Also they are extremely nice to children. They clean the rooms and the premises daily. Our room was fine. The shower is a bit outdated. The bed slept nice. AC worked proper. They also have a great pool! Very nice to cool off after a hot day through the city. Would definitely recommend.

The property was very well maintained and looked like the photos in the booking. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Having two swimming pools was a bonus and the breakfast was delightful. The rooms were large and a balcony or outside space was appreciated. I would highly recommend this hotel. It was also good value for money in comparison to other hotels of a similar price.

Nothing, I enjoyed everything.

The hotel is beautiful, location is great, within local housing area & peaceful. Hotel is next block to the Prawirotaman St. where cafe/pub/live band performed on weekend. We enjoy our coffee and 'terang bulan' at local cafe next to the mainstreet.

The hotel needs refurbishment especially the shower room and the pool need daily cleaning, but it still acceptable considering the price we had.
