The atmosphere is very homey, almost like a county/village, not like a hotel. The staff is very friendly, with typical Javanese Jogja style. Recommended for family vacations or staycations, and very close to Malioboro. Going to Malioboro is like going through your backyard, and this is literally the case. Just walk down the back alley for about 25 meters and voilaa, you're in front of the Yogyakarta Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) building. Thanks, Batik Hotel, if I have time in Jogja, I will stop by again.
