We stayed for 3 nights at the Phoenix, and loved it. The common areas are lovely, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was also excellent, as was the bar in the evening, where there was live music. There are also some nice restaurants in the vicinity - we ate at "Tiga Nyonya" (just across the road - but...

The hotel is very unique and artistic. The lobby, room, swimming pool, restaurant, and other facilities are satisfying. The staffs were really helpful and hostile. The location is strategic, I only spent less than 30 minutes to the airport and 5 minutes to Malioboro. The food was also great and various. They served Indonesian food, western, Asian, etc, so many... More

Through the glass doors and into the world of yesteryear....... This hotel is majestic, historic and romantic. A small sitting room invites you to relax and explore. The courtyard functions as the restaurant with both outdoor and indoor seating. The bar seems a bit more contemporary with a nice seating area and a fun place for billiards. The bartenders were...

This hotel is a lovely example of a colonial hotel in excellent condition. The beautiful decorations and attention to detail makes it a perfect setting for a quite wonderful experience. Staff are friendly and the food is excellent. I found the hotel was the ideal place to kick back and relax after a day sight seeing.

It is beautifully appointed, with tasteful decor, excellent facilities ( spa, sauna, pool, gym, restaurants and bars), fabulous staff and attention... More

Hassle-free online booking for my travel party of 7 adults. Emailed queries and requests for an extra bed were replied to speedily. Smooth check-in, well-appointed rooms. Regular rooms are small-ish. The smell of a dead rodent steadily increased in one room of ours the longer the air conditioning was kept on, so we were transferred to a suite at no... More

All in... More

A landmark in Java’s cultural capital, Phoenix is for the price we pay ($80 without breakfast) one of the best value-for-money hotels we have stayed at. While retaining its colonial grandeur, rooms are quite modern and very clean, typical of five-star business hotels in Asia, even if bathroom amenities are below standard. After sending an e-mail asking for a room... More
