Fantastic place to stay when visiting Solo, the rooms were spacious, comfy and the price is fantastic. Great location and some of the best service at a hotel I've ever received. The owners a very kind person who was happy to show me around the city, took me out for food and drinks and gave me plenty of information for places to try and even drove me to the bus terminal when I was leaving, never experienced hospitality like it. Would definitely recommend staying here if visiting Surakarta and will 100% be staying again if I come back. Thanks again!

Highly recommended! It fits everything in the room, seating outside, coffee, tea, water and very tasty little snacks for breakfast even though there is actually no breakfast. And a kitchen for guests. WiFi worked great. But the best thing is the managing director Prapto, who, when he has time, chauffeurs the guests for the price of gas and also takes them to his favorite authentic restaurants. We really enjoyed it and had a lot of fun together. Thank you Prapto for the extraordinary stay, which we will remember for a long time!
