It's a reasonable walking distance from the world-renowned Malioboro street, and that's a good thing especially when it comes to long weekends, when all the streets heading to Malioboro are jam-packed with tourists, international and domestic alike. The 1 km, 30 minutes or so walk could be tiring for some, but if in the end of the walk you are greeted by friendly staff, go up to your floor, enter your very cozy room and throw yourself to your very comfortable bed, that's a distance worth walking.
