Book Ngemplak hotels

This hotel was wonderful, a cross between staying in a faded stately home and a museum! It has so much history, lovely pool and small gym. The breakfast was very extensive, served in the large internal courtyard, you can eat inside or out. The staff here couldn’t do enough for you, brilliant service. Very handy for Malioboro street. Don’t expect super plush modern rooms, they are a little dated but totally in keeping with the character of the hotel.

We had an excellent stay at this hotel. We had the family connecting rooms. Both very clean and spacious. The kids loved the slide at the pool. The restaurants were all very tasty as well! Would definitely recommend.

It was great and staff are very friendly and courteous

Excellent service

I mention names of employees here, hoping they do get recognition,--nobody solicited me for this review. I stayed at this hotel for five days and was pleasantly surprised by how much it offered, especially for the price. While the building is older, it’s very well maintained, and the rooms are clean with comfortable beds, crisp white sheets, and towels. I had one of the more affordable rooms, but the large east-facing windows offered stunning views of the city and mountains. If you do nothing else, visit the rooftop pool and restobar on the 10th floor—even if you’re staying elsewhere. The views, breeze, and relaxed atmosphere make it a destination. The staff up there were exceptional—shoutout to Andre, Made, Upay, Rhe, and Bhuda. Friendly, honest, and passionate about what they do. I even met the GM and the Chef on two occasions—not drinking, but personally checking in on guests, which says a lot about their commitment. Breakfast is worth including in your booking. There's a wide selection, an outdoor smoking area, and a relaxed setting. The Wi-Fi worked seamlessly for five days straight without needing to log in repeatedly, which is rare. Security was strong and consistent, giving me peace of mind during my stay. A big plus was the list of recommended local restaurants provided at check-in—extensive menus, great food, and nearby. Ironically, the service at those restaurants didn’t match the high-quality service I got at the hotel. Location-wise: Great

Ideal location to visit Borobudur. Go online and book a ticket to get to the top of the temple as numbers are limited. Hotel taxi service perfect. Infinity pool a good size. Get up early to see the sunrise over mount Merapi.
