Very nice little hostel with a very friendly and helpful owner couple. The hostel is located in a small side street and is correspondingly quiet. Location about 15 minutes walk from the city center and the Sultan's Palace. Rooms are clean with air conditioning, TV and WiFi.

Once you come to Yogyakarta for holidays, it will be my destination to stay. Feels homey.Thanks, Mas Yos and Mbak Heni. First time staying in dormitory style and it turned out to be fun, especially being able to spend quality time with foreign tourists. It turns out this is their favorite accommodation. Me too for sure 😁
