Royal Ambarrukmo Yogyakarta

Feels like home Nothing

Well cared for . The club lounge was not up to standard

All staffs are super friendly, good food and super clean I stayed for a long weekend, so many kids running round in the corridors during days and nights, other neighbors so noisy ‘feels like ibu ibu arisan in the room’ the sounds gone through

Breakfast was good with lot of traditional choices. Hotel is located near a Mall to give tourists an option for shopping and fast food to get a break from sightseeing. Property is family friendly with a nice garden, play area for kids and large pool. Bathroom could have been bigger.

This hotel is far from 5-star standards — especially when it comes to service, which is surprisingly poor and urgently needs improvement. It cannot be compared to similar hotels in Bali or Jakarta. I believe I have a good basis for comparison, having stayed here for 4 nights and having lived in Jogja for 5 years. Staff offer plenty of smiles but also plenty of excuses. In true 5-star hotels, service is what earns the rating — here, the lack of genuine care puts the category into question. ⸻ Check-in Initially smooth, until the receptionist suddenly stopped addressing me and began discussing details such as breakfast and gym hours only with my Indonesian wife — despite the booking being in my name and the fact that we had spoken in Indonesian from the start. Why? ⸻ Spa A disappointing experience. Communication was minimal, and the therapist seemed unsure how to perform a proper foot reflexology massage. She attempted to switch to back and shoulder massage without asking, which I declined — there was a reason I chose a specific treatment. No basic touches expected at this price point: slippers not prepared for use, no inquiry about massage intensity, and constant clock-watching every two minutes as if she wanted to finish early. ⸻ Dinner On our last night, we dined at the hotel — a mistake. No greeting, no guidance to a table. Even budget hotels handle this better. We sat outside, ignored for 5–10 minutes until my wife went inside to get attention. The bartender showed visible annoyance when approached. My meal arrived 15 minutes before my wife’s, with the excuse that “orders are queued” — again, delivered with smiles but no real solution. Mid-meal, complimentary desserts appeared, seemingly leftover from the buffet. It felt like an afterthought, not genuine hospitality. No manager addressed the poor service. Food quality was mediocre — easily found elsewhere for a fraction of the price.

The breakfast is the best where you can taste all traditional Yogya food Nothing bad

It was an entirely wonderful stay! We were there for s small family reunion. The executive lounge was perfect for enjoying a light breakfast and happy hour time together. The larger breakfast buffet had an expansive selection of delicious dishes to choose from. The hotel decor and gardens are lovely. We appreciated the accessibility services for my elderly mom which help to make her stay very enjoyable. All the staff were kind, courteous and professional. The location was a quiet haven to the bustling city and convenient to many attractions. Nothing. It was a very enjoyable experience.

Clean, spacious room and staff A noisy sound in my room disturb our sleep, and breakfast menu just fair

Location The smell in the elevator Breakfasts are included for the stay. We skipped the breakfast for the first day because we left early at 4:30 am to see sun rise. Our kids were too tired to wake up for breakfast the second day. We need to leave at 8:00am for our flight. We asked if they can pack some food for the kids. They said no according to the hotel policy. Most hotels are very flexible with where and when you can have breakfast and very supportive for packing food for day trips. Unfortunately this one is very strict about this.

Everything about the hotel is first class, beautiful rooms and all the areas are spotless, great breakfast and wonderful staff
