INNSIDE by Melia Yogyakarta

This hotel is an embarrassment to the Melia hotel chain. And beware of the positive reviews you read, because the hotel is giving free vouchers in exchange for positive online reviews. This hotel is overrated and overpriced. They proudly displays a 4-stars hotel certification in the lobby which feels like a 3-stars hotel lobby. Entering the room, the vibe is more of a business hotel or 3-stars hotel at best. The wardrobe is open (without any doors) and the room is minimalist not just in design, but functionality as well. There are numerous design flaws in the room and bathroom, such as the shower being placed in the middle of the shower area and very near the opening hence whenever you shower, you're very prone to get the bathroom wet. Forget about hot water-the water is warm at best during the whole 3 nights we stayed there (so it 's not because of peak showering times). The bed is comfortable, and the minibar is complimentary. These seems to be the only positive things about this hotel. Breakfast is so-so. Not bad, but not great either. Both in terms of selection nor quality. Several times we found egg shells in our omelette. It seems when designing this hotel, the architect either lacks attention to detail, or just skimped on quality. There 's no elevator access to the basement/car park but also to the swimming pool as well. So you need to take a stair from the top floor, to access the swimming pool. The hotel proudly displays CHSE certification for COVID-19 prevention, but heck, during the whole 4 days/3 nights stay there, we found the hand sanitizers in the elevators were always empty. They provided kids activities class during weekends, but they're not complimentary-even for hotel guests staying there. Sure you can charge for those, but we will expect more. Most hotels will provide complimentary kids activities for hotel-staying guests. Location wise, it 's not bad. There 's a hypermarket (Lotte Grosir) next door should you need amenities etc. We paid extra for the "Merapi view" room but it doesn't seem to be worth it. With the price we paid, we could have gotten a decent 4 stars hotel (peak periods) or even 5 stars hotel (when it 's off peak) but alas, we got fooled by the name "Melia". Perhaps this is also what raised our expectation so we were surprised. Had we paid budget hotel prices, we would have been more understanding and left a positive review. We mentioned our negative experience with the front desk and she doesn't seem to care nor curious enough to ask what happened. Truly hospitality by Melia indeed. In short: will we return to the hotel? If it's priced below IDR 500 k, maybe. But if it's priced at circa IDR 1 million, you're better off elsewhere.

Comfort bed, clean, great view from roof top.

The hotel has a rooftop pool and right behind the hotel has Lotte Mart. Breakfast is OK and the room is standard. Staff are nice and friendly. Overall is an OK hotel.

Innside by Marriot is a great hotel. The staff are friendly and proper. The building is properly designed. It is not located in touristy area which works well for me. I did not try the food as we ordered yummy local food ftom GoFood. The room is spacious and nicely decorated. The bed is king size. The only thing is the bathroom door and wall need more cleaning. There are spots and dirt. That can easily be removed with little efforts. I will definitely return to stay there.

Great place for staycation.

White wide clean room. Thanks.
