The Royal Surakarta Heritage - Handwritten Collection

Good choice for trip, enjoy and happy. But for breakfast so bad

Any thing. From thej very first moment I stepped into the well appnted and furnished lobby with abundance of well displayed local antiques and traditional handicraft, to the moment I reached my corner-view junior suite on 9th floor with plenty of amenities and cares, batik patterned bathrobes included! The entre staff is responsve, naturally and honestly smiling, and with the right attitude of solving. Even though travelling as solo I was welcomned by people to have a chat with and this is absolutely outsanding. As to its position I would say great. A few blocks away from the local Kampung Wisata Batik Kauman and the Kraton, as well as the buses heading to Semarang. Solo Balipan station is 10 minutes away by taxi. The morning breakfast is the real prelude to joyful tastes from local dishes to international. Anything freshly cooked and replenished constantly by well trained staff from cooks to waiters. The best capuccino I have ever had it was there! Absolutely recommendable

A beautifully presented hotel, almost museum like, in the center of Surakarta. The breakfast buffet is wonderful, with Indonesian, Chinese and Western food. Walking distance to many sites, including Pasar Gede, Pasar Klewet, and the Keraton. Batik shopping and great coffee shops nearby. The best place to stay in Surakarta.

Staffs: Very friendly Room: 3rd floor, the view is neighbour's roof. Parking lot: very limited Breakfast: good, but there was a dead caterpillar. The chef apologized and explained the process in the kitchen. This incident was unintentional. Location: down town, close to Pasar Gede, Alun-alun, Balai Kota, Benteng, and so on. Drinking water: askthe staff for a refill Hotel theme: Javanese (and Batik) culture, with statues everywhere and masks in the room. Overall: good to excellent

Nice place

Excellent hotel with excellent staff service and heritage to learn from. Like a historical tour.
