Hotel located a stone's throw from the temples, well appointed with decoration in keeping with the name. The soundproofing is certainly good. The small restaurants around are very nice. Despite the language barrier, Very and Fiecko (the two members of the night staff) did everything to put us at ease.

We liked: The family room, although small for 4 people, is fine. It was clean. It has air conditioning, the beds are comfortable, a water heater with tea and coffee. The best thing is the location, a five-minute walk from the entrance of Borobudur temple.We didn't like it: hot water only works for one person's shower. Then cold water. Then you have to wait 15 minutes to have hot water again. The walls are made of plasterboard and the acoustic soundproofing is very poor. At night you could hear rats walking across the ceiling. They couldn't get in but the rats walked around and screamed continuously.The worst of all is the service of the staff. They have left the hotel in the hands of young people with no experience and no desire to provide good service. We arrived at 10:00 p.m. and they did not have our room ready even though I notified the check-in time through Booking in advance. They had no idea we were coming. The staff does not speak any English and they do not make an effort to communicate. The staff is usually at the reception lying down or looking at their cell phones doing nothing and they didn't even deign to empty the trash cans in the room for two days. They also don't make any effort to give you information about places of interest to visit in the area. They don't even say good morning to you.The service is terrible.

Please improve the management!!!If you are not affiliated with the application, then just take down the room advertisement!!!I ordered H-2W, when the hotel arrived, someone had already filled the room. It was canceled unilaterally.We are far from outside the city, boss.Not Recommended if it's like this.

Located near the Borobudur temple, in a small n quite street. At the lobby is Cactus Cafe, decorated with many lovely cactus. The rooms are a few but well maintained, clean, and esthetic. The breakfast option is limited, guests can dine in the restaurant/lobby or served in the room.

The guest house is (actually) not new, because of the information from the employees, it is rebranding and changing management, so it has just opened again, okay, let's start the full review, okay 😁😘: I really like the concept, the guest house is inside the cactus cafe, so from the entrance to the room door you are treated to a really good view of the cactus cactus.😘: For those of you who like taking photos, this is a place you can add to your bucket list, because the place is really clean and has a cool vibe, even if you don't stay overnight, you can have a snack at the cafe. You can shop for cacti or typical handicrafts there😘: Inside the room, complete facilities, kettle, mineral water, coffee, sugar, tea, aesthetic bathroom, running hot water, in front of the room there are also chairs for relaxing which separate the space from the cafe, it's really cool🤭: The location isn't right on the side of the main road, it's a little bit in, but it's still affordable, so it's not hard to find. The parking area is a bit limited, especially since the parking is shared with cafe visitors, so if the cafe is busy, it's a bit difficult, hehee🤭: Well, because it's located inside a cafe, the atmosphere is like a cafe, we mean if you really want to rest, it's a bit difficult because the sound from the cafe is quite loud until the evening, like music or the sound of guests chatting is quite audible.🤭: The guest house doesn't provide breakfast, even if you want to order from the cafe, you can't do it very early in the morning, so the suggestion is that we just look for food outside or take an ojol, if you're late, heheheeOkay, if you want to look for an aesthetic guest house to add to your collection of Instagrammable photos, you can really come here and look at all kinds of small to large cacti.Yes, that's all for the review, I hope it helps 👌👌
