Actually, I stayed here several months ago, but I just had time to review it on Google Maps. When I arrived in Solo it was after 10 pm, apparently the front alley leading to the hotel was closed. So I climbed the gate to ask the Cakra guys to unlock the gate 😂All the staff are friendly and polite. I got a room to the east of the pool on the 2nd floor. At night it seemed a bit like that because there was minimal lighting and it was noisy, but for me it was just fun because I really like that kind of feel. The room is not very big, but the AC is cold enough, and my bathroom is safe and clean. For me that is more than enough. In the morning, you can walk to look for breakfast because this inn's location is quite strategic. At night there is also a lot of drink and pure milk. You can also coordinate with the men on guard to ask for the gate to be opened if we come home a bit late. Recommended for those who like Javanese nuanced accommodation, simple but quiet and serene

Access in the city center. Near City Hall, grand mosque, Kasunan and Mangkunegaran palaces. Access to the Ngarsapuro night market is also close, especially during car free days

The place is calm, cool. Very suitable if you bring children. The ornaments are Javanese, so at night and in the morning it feels romantic hahaha. It really fits our thin holiday budget. I really like it because the location is really strategic, close to tourist attractions in Solo.

The hotel's location is strategic in the city center near Jalan Slamet Riyadi, Klewer market, Kauman batik village, Keraton and Galabo. Location of entering Cakra 2 alley after passing Yos Sudarso. The entrance is quite narrow, only one car can fit without passing even a motorbike. But when you arrive you are greeted by a magnificent old building complex and ample parking inside.Plus:1. Strategic location.2. Spacious rooms, ancient furniture but clean3. Old style hard walls, not noisy.4. The atmosphere is calm, cool, beautiful, clean.5. Cold AC.6. Clean water runs smoothly even though it is a tub model.7. There is a spacious balcony terrace.8. There are free drinks on the 1st floor.Minuses:1. There is a TV but it doesn't turn on.2. Wifi doesn't reach the room.3. The bed is comfortable but it's starting to make noise.4. The bathroom is a tub model so you have to drain the water first.5. There is no hot water (don't need it when it's hot).6. There is a swimming pool but unfortunately it is off. The information leaked.I just stayed 2 comfortable nights here. City center but the hotel has a calm atmosphere. On the second day there were lots of guests but there wasn't any noise from the room. Anyway, there are lots of places to find breakfast or dinner around the hotel and you can walk. So if you want to explore culinary delights near the hotel, it's better to just walk to the hotel and stay at the hotel. There are many choices of liwet rice, pecel, satay, angkringan, penyetan, soto, noodles, fried rice, and others.On the 1st floor of the hotel there is a cafe but it is closed. There are lots of seats for receiving guests in the joglo next to this cafe.Hotel staff service is friendly, fast. The owner is very informative about local culinary delights and events in Solo, especially around Slamet Riyadi.Overall, resting in the city center is comfortable and safe, especially when you get cold AC and clean, smooth water.

Really last minute to find a place to stay here for an impromptu event.The place is quite nice according to the price, the AC is also cold. The room is quite clean. The place is ethnic. Friendly service.It's just that the property is old, so maybe there are loose ones here and there.It's a bit difficult because this place is inside Kauman, where at 10 o'clock the gate is already locked, so it's best to ask for the receptionist's number next time to open the gate if you come home late.If you're staying together, you can come here again. Don't forget to prepare your own amenities because they are not provided.
