This building divided into 2 part, ones in the front is the exsiting building and second, they extended the backyard into new buiding for room hotel with pool as central courtyard.

Our opinion to this hotel are :
1. Location: close to the main shopping district, malioboro street is a 5 mins Bechak ride, though due to the one way it takes well over 15 mins to return.
2. The Hotel is stunning, aesthetically beautiful, well maintained. Our rooms has a small balcony attached to it.
3. The Breakfast is good and They serve a lot of healthy options like freshly squeezed juices, a separate vegetarian counter also you have to try their pancake and gudeg (the famous traditional culinary).
4. The Dinner Buffet is not to be missed
5. The staff is great, always smile also helpful.
6. We loved their in-house drink- Gin Sling but is too sweet.
7. The service room is great every time we went out they always clean and tidy-up our room wow it's rare service even in the 5 star hotel.

Borobudur was built on a small hill in the Kedu Basin, a rich, fertile valley surrounded by spectacular volcanoes. To the east lie Merapi and Merbabu and to the north lies Sumbing and Sindoro. The unusual jagged Menoreh Hills encircle the temple to the South and West. The temple is also located near the meeting place of two rivers, the Elo and the Progo. These rivers are believed to be symbolic of the Gangga and Yamuna, the two rivers feeding the Indus valley in India. The location was most likely chosen for its central location and expansive views.

Prambanan, named after the village, is the biggest temple complex in Java. There are 224 temples in the complex; three towering temples on the central terrace dominate the complex. Those are Brahma Temple in the North, Visnu Temple in the South and the biggest among the three which lies between Brahma and Visnu is Çiwa Temple which soars up to 47 meters high.These three ancient masterpieces of Hindu architecture are locally referred to as Prambanan Temple or Rorojonggrang Temple. One of its appeals is the wealth of sculptural detail which is the most famous is on the inner wall of the balustrade, the wonderful Ramayana Epic.
