Hotels near Bukit Kyai Penganjir-anjir, Borobudur

I have also lived in several Amans, and I can only say that each Aman has its own advantages. This Aman is built in the tropical rainforest. The building is designed based on Borobudur. The restaurant and lobby are fully open. The architectural format is similar to a temple. The design of the whole villa suite is not comparable to many Aman. This Aman opened in 1997. Compared with the other hotels we have stayed in, the public facilities are slightly insufficient. There is no separate spa, and the spa is located in a guest room. The spa service and experience itself are still very good. Aman’s service is as usual and there are no faults. When checking in, the manager accompanied the whole process, asked about their health, answered various questions of guests, and arranged activities according to the needs of guests. I saw later that the manager had a form that recorded all the guests’ daily activities. The itinerary is very detailed. We chose Borobudur and the back mountain forest for hiking. The back mountain forest hike is very good, you can see the scenery of the whole valley, and know a lot of plants, including cloves, durians, snake skin fruits and so on. Another major feature of this Aman is that the food and beverages are particularly good. There are no good restaurants nearby. We ate at the hotel the whole time. It was the first time I saw a hotel with a full 11-page menu, and all of them can be served in the room. There are many choices. The taste is also quite good. There is also a special dinner every Friday night, which is made in the form of a food market, with traditional singing and dancing performances, which is very lively. There is also a pick-up and drop-off service, which is very convenient.

We spent three nights at Gopalan. The first night was a bit shaky, but not because of the hotel. There was an intermittent power outage in Borobodur. Dadang, the night manager, calmly helped us and even upgraded our room. His calming influence was a sign of things to come. Maria, the hotel manager, arranged our trip to the Borobodur Temple with a fantastic guide, Udin. She arranged Javanese massages with two expert therapists. Our driver, Teddy, arranged by Maria for our rides back and forth to Yogyakarta, was sort of a mini tour guide himself. Room was nice, a bit spartan, but fine. WiFi worked nicely, Good swimming pool. Solid cable TV. Restaurant was surprisingly good for both breakfast and dinner. Try the avocado with egg for breakfast, and the Indonesian noodles were excellent for dinner. And you're out in the country, with a working farm out your front door, and just a 20 minute walk to the Temple. Recommend highly for those seeking a relaxed atmosphere and adventure amid the Indonesian noise and pollution. Rustic, but pretty sophisticated. Great spot for walking.

The management need to consider security level as there are couple of gate to the the outside areas that was not locked, and they only lock it at night. There is no wifi at the property

I stayed at Sinom Borobudur for seven nights. The hotel is centrally located, clean, and comfortable. Breakfast is good. Staff are incredibly kind, helpful, and nice. They can organize tours of local attractions, including sunsets/sunrises over Borobudur.

I stayed for 2 nights and loved the quiet location (many other places are located on the main road which can be quite noisy) with great views looking across rice paddies toward the temple, which is just a short (~15 min) walk out the front door. Francesca and her staff did everything to make us feel welcome and comfortable, from bringing a cool drink when we arrived to making coffee for us at 6 AM. The meals were delicious, and the rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable - I loved the feeling of a boutique inn with outstanding attentive service - would definitely recommend this to any friend coming to Borobudur!

The location of the hotel is near to the entrance of the Borobudur Temple and walking distance to the main street of Borobudur Town. The staff are friendly and able to speak good English. The facilities are adequate. The breakfast is fantastic. The design of the room is beautiful but the workmanship is awful and need maintenance and refurbishment, for example, people can easily peep inside the room through a crevice in the door or the wall, the toilet floor can be easily get dirty. There are giant ants in the toilet too.

Very close to Borobudur, not booked at the Net Red Hotel, breakfast is OK, there are four choices, fruit bowls and drinks. However, Borobudur personally does not recommend to go, it does not mean anything, the photo can not be photographed, the time to go in January, may predict the reason, the sunrise did not see, the fog is not as good as Prambanan. Personally feel that sunrise and sunset are better at the top of the mountain, as well as volcanic clouds, the brand is too expensive and not worth it. There are free bicycles and motorcycles to rent.
