Visiting Yogyakarta for the first time, I decided to stay at the Royal Ambarrukmo. I am glad I picked this hotel as it was a very comfortable stay with many great amenities. I utilized their fitness area, which had many options for weight training with the machines they had, including dumbbells. The staff was terrific, and I would say one of the best parts of my stay was the breakfast. Never have I seen so many options in a breakfast buffet. I maybe tried a tenth of what they had to offer, and I didn’t have room to try anymore. Make sure you don’t miss the breakfast to get your day started.
The Royal Ambarrukmo was originally built in the 1960s by President Sukarno. Its lobby contains one of the most beautiful and largest mosaics I have ever seen. This is but one of the many details that make this elegant, well laid out, and conveniently located hotel stand out. Rooms are large and well laid out. There's a great pool and children's pool. The restaurant and dining options are among the best of any hotel in Yogya. In short, though reasonably priced, this for me is one of Yogya's best hotels -- with a great staff and management in addition.
The Royal Ambarrukmo is one of my favorite hotels in Yogyakarta and, in fact, all of Indonesia. The staff and the (if I am not mistaken) Belgium-born hotel manager are welcoming, efficient, and always making sure you and your family are having a good time. The breakfasts are among the best in Yogyakarta, and the restaurant in general has a superb mix of Indonesian and European food -- all at a reasonable price. My wife and I regard this hotel as a true gem, and a hotel to which we hope to return many times.
Wonderful stay; heritage hotel with natural & original values of Jogjakarta. Room, food, property and friendly staffs are incrediable. Highly remommended hotel to stay with family
The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. Next to the hotel is a large shopping mall where you can find plenty of food stalls and restaurants. The main area for improvement is its shower room design which has no door to stop water getting out to the toilet when showering. The buffet breakfast offers plenty of food choices.
Good hotel friendly and helpful staff. Good service. Shower screen needs to be repaired as water tends to leak out during shower flooding floor outside the shower area.
Food is good. We have made several friends with the staff. The mall next door is an asset.👍
Nice hotel and area, some rooms require maintenanc
Noce hotel. We had some hiccups during checkin but we received great help from Wigati amd Vina from hotel concierge. At the end fantastic experience.
However, hotel would deserve a bit better maintenance.
Nice and classy hotel. Very very friendly staff and good service. Big variety of food for breakfast. Also lunch packages for I want to party have been very good. Perfect indoor play area for small children.
We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The staff were always courteous and helpful. The breakfast included a variety of food and drinks to suit all tastes.
My dad took the fish n chip for dinner and vomit and diarrea, during midnight, we inform the hotel and they send us doctor but make us pay. So... disappointed as my dad don’t go out, he relax in the room so...
