5-Star Hotels in Central Java, Indonesia

On my frequent business trips to Semarang, I always stay at the PO Hotel, which is conveniently located next to Paragon Mall. It's a 5-star hotel in the city center, offering a nice staycation experience. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and for dinner, I just walk to PG Mall through the connected doorway. The breakfast menu is also comprehensive and delicious. My suggestion for PO Hotel would be to upgrade the TVs to smart TVs and add more local channels, specifically Anteve and Indosiar, if possible.

I was delighted by the wide variety of items at the breakfast buffet, and especially enjoyed the local specialties. The staff were also very kind and helpful, offering great recommendations for nearby attractions, which I really appreciated. Thanks to them, I had a wonderful trip. I would definitely love to stay here again if I travel to the area in the future.

On the recommendation of close friends, we chose to try Padma Hotel Semarang for our stay in Semarang, and we absolutely did not regret it. We truly enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was extensive and delicious, the rooms were clean and comfortable, the gym was beautiful, and the coffee and pastries at Goolali were also of excellent quality. Combined with the beautiful entrance and the warm atmosphere of the hotel, it created a very pleasant overall experience. What stood out the most to us, however, was the outstanding service from the staff. We would especially like to thank Mr. Syahrul for his professionalism and friendly service during breakfast. One small point for improvement would be the speed of the Wi-Fi, especially when using YouTube on the television. We certainly hope to return next year, hopefully for a longer stay.

Away from the hustle and bustle of yogya. Being in the city can be overwhelming, hence this location is just right, surrounded by nature - birds, clouds and an amazing view. The location is super interesting because the car has to go through so many winds through the village. If U take a morning jeep tour, the jeep will fetch U from the villa with the car top exposed and you can feel the wind in your hair, absorbing the peace from th village and fresh air. They also have a massage, quite expensive but worth it at 450,000 idr per hour. The geckos can be loud at night but that's nature. They have an amazing pool that oversees borobodur and Yogyakarta. The villa door has some ants but I think it's because of the wood? The junior room suite villa roof feels a bit hollow because we can hear the birds jumping and squawking on top of it in the early evening. Food is not fantastic, especially their breakfast. But since they locally produce long beans, try their long beans. It's crunchy and fresh. Their grilled ayam chicken rice is good too. Their sambal, however, is a must try. Fresh, spicy, tangy! At night, you can hear adzan, which is call for prayer, across the whole of Yogyakarta. An amazing and holy experience.

We are pleased to present a review for the Gumaya Hotel Semarang. This establishment offers a comfortable and enjoyable stay for its guests. The hotel's amenities are well-maintained and contribute to a relaxing experience. Service at the Gumaya Hotel Semarang is known to be attentive and efficient. Overall, it is a highly recommended option for accommodation in the area.

The thoughtful room decoration and complimentary cake for our special occasion made our stay feel truly memorable. It was a wonderful gesture that we really appreciated. The bed was huge and incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep, and the breakfast was excellent with a fantastic selection of delicious food. We had a wonderful stay and would happily return.

After booking, I contacted the hotel to arrange the pick-up and other transportation. The hotel responded to the email promptly. The car and driver were also the hotel's own car. Because the hotel is located in the countryside and is relatively remote, I dare not Grab it myself. It turns out that the hotel's car and driver service are very satisfactory. The pick-up in Yogyakarta city is 850,000, and the delivery to Borobudur and waiting, and then the delivery to Yogyakarta hotel is 1300,000.

Booked the hotel because of the playground and swimming pool. It is an old hotel with wood accents. Room was quite spacious but the bed sheet was old and lot of brown stain. Can see several bugs in the humid area. Stay 3 nights. Second night, hot water was not working. Called the maintenance but it took 30 minutes for them to come. Asked hair dryer to front desk and took 20 minutes to come. Swimming pool is warm water, but very cold in the morning. It was okay, should be cleaned more frequently because lot of leaves and flowers. The down side, when the pools are crowded, saw some men smoking near the playground. Playground is spacious, but started getting old. There are patchy areas in the grass carpet. The slide area is not slippery anymore, some slides even too slippery, saw some kids slip in the sitting position and complained get hurt. The breakfast selection was not many, but most of them delicious. Especially in the egg station, the (seems like trainee) staff make my egg very delicious!

Friendly staff and a great location. The entrance is impressive, and the welcome cake was a nice touch. The gym and small swimming pool were a nice addition. Unfortunately, the room was disappointing and not what I would expect from a 5-star hotel. The bathroom was old and poorly maintained, with a dirty bathtub, stained shower curtain, and a water-damaged door. The sheets smelled damp, the curtains didn’t close properly, and the background music from the corridor and the very loud nearby mosque prayer calls made it difficult to sleep past 4:30 am.

Business trip to one of the grandest 5-star hotels in downtown Semarang. The room was spacious, well-equipped, with cool air conditioning, and a beautiful, clean, and fragrant interior. There's a connecting door from the hotel to the mall, making it convenient for dinner directly at Ciputra Mall, which offers many interesting culinary options, without the hassle of driving elsewhere to find food.
