YATS Colony is a 3-star hotel set in the Wirobrajan area of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, a short distance from the city's famous Malioboro Street. The property is a boutique-style, garden-fronted colony-concept hotel spread across two low-rise floors rather than a single tall tower, giving it a more residential, laid-back atmosphere than many of the larger convention hotels closer to the city centre. On Traveloka, YATS Colony carries a "Preferred Partner Plus" designation and has been highlighted among Yogyakarta's more content-worthy, photogenic properties, reflecting its distinct aesthetic compared to standard business hotels in the area. Guests booking through Traveloka can expect a compact, 40-room retreat that leans into a homely, garden-courtyard feel, complete with bicycle rentals for exploring the surrounding Wirobrajan neighbourhood at a slower pace. Traveloka's own listing data confirms an overall guest review score of 8.8 out of 10 ("Very Good") drawn from 4,598 reviews, with especially strong marks for room comfort (9.2/10) and cleanliness (9.1/10) — an indication that, despite its smaller footprint, the property is consistently well-regarded by past guests for the in-room experience it delivers.
Because YATS Colony is a smaller, independently styled property rather than a large international chain hotel, published details such as an exact construction or renovation year are not listed on either Traveloka's booking page or through any verifiable official property channel. Rather than guess at a date, this page instead focuses on what is independently confirmed: the hotel's 40-room, two-floor layout, its garden and pool setting, and its Wirobrajan location a comfortable distance from Yogyakarta's main tourist corridor. Travellers who want a quieter alternative to Malioboro's busiest hotel strip, without giving up easy access to it, are the ones most likely to enjoy what YATS Colony offers.
YATS Colony offers 40 rooms distributed across two floors, and Traveloka's listing indicates the property provides both standard-style rooms suited to couples or solo travellers and larger family or connecting-room configurations for groups. As with many boutique properties, YATS Colony has not published a fully itemised, named room-tier menu (such as "Deluxe" or "Suite" labels) on its Traveloka listing, so the ladder below reflects the real configurations confirmed on the listing, presented from the most basic to the most spacious, rather than an invented naming scheme.
The entry-level configuration at YATS Colony is a standard room designed for two guests. Traveloka's listing and guest feedback describe this category as compact but comfortable, generally paired with a private bathroom. This is the base tier of the property — travelling couples, solo guests, or business visitors who mainly need a place to sleep between explorations of the city will find this the most economical option at the hotel.
Above the standard tier, YATS Colony lists family rooms and connecting-room configurations, which link two adjoining rooms so that larger families or groups of friends can book adjacent space while still having private rooms to retreat to. These are the property's most spacious confirmed configurations and are the natural choice for families travelling with children or small groups who want to stay together without sharing a single room.
Across both room categories, Traveloka's facility data lists air conditioning, a work desk, a hairdryer, an in-room safe, a minibar or refrigerator, cable TV, and a private bathroom with a shower as amenities associated with the property's rooms. Exact configurations can vary by the specific room booked, so guests who need a particular bed setup or floor level are encouraged to check the room description at the time of booking on Traveloka for the most current details.
YATS Colony's facilities lean into its garden-and-pool identity rather than a large-scale convention-hotel offering, which fits its smaller, 40-room scale. Traveloka's listing confirms the following on-site facilities:
The property also lists non-smoking rooms alongside designated smoking areas, and notes disabled access at the front-of-house areas. As with any facility list, availability of specific services such as meeting equipment or particular menu items can change, so guests with a specific requirement are advised to confirm directly with the property through Traveloka before arrival.
YATS Colony sits on Jalan Patangpuluhan No. 23 in the Wirobrajan district of Yogyakarta, a residential-leaning neighbourhood just west of the city's central tourist belt. This puts the hotel within a reasonably short drive of Malioboro Street, Yogyakarta's best-known shopping and pedestrian corridor, and of the Kraton (Sultan's Palace) area, without placing guests directly inside the busiest and most tourist-priced stretch of the city. The Wirobrajan setting also means the immediate neighbourhood has everyday conveniences — ATMs, small grocery stores, laundry outlets and local shops — within easy walking or short-ride distance, according to Traveloka's listing of nearby facilities.
For travellers flying in or out of the region, Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA) in Kulon Progo and the older Adisutjipto Airport both serve the Yogyakarta area; those planning ahead can check flight options to Yogyakarta on Traveloka before finalising a hotel stay. Once in the city, taxis, ride-hailing apps and, thanks to the hotel's own bicycle rentals, a bicycle are all realistic ways to reach Malioboro and the old city core from Wirobrajan. Guests without a car should note that Yogyakarta's traffic can be unpredictable around peak hours, so building in extra time when heading to the train station or airport is a sensible habit.
On site, YATS Colony operates its own restaurant, serving a la carte breakfast, lunch and dinner, along with a dedicated breakfast restaurant area, snacks, and vegetarian meal options, so guests are not required to leave the property for every meal. The attached cafe and coffee shop provide a lighter option for guests who want a coffee or a quick bite between excursions rather than a full sit-down meal.
Yogyakarta more broadly is one of Java's most food-forward cities, known for gudeg (jackfruit stew), a dense concentration of street-food warungs, and a growing café scene aimed at both locals and visitors. Guests staying at YATS Colony who want to venture beyond the hotel's own restaurant can use the property's bicycle rentals to reach nearby eateries in Wirobrajan and the wider Malioboro area at their own pace. Travellers planning a longer stay who also want to build in a day of sightseeing or a cooking class can browse activities and things to do around Yogyakarta on Traveloka to plan a fuller itinerary around meals and attractions.
YATS Colony suits travellers who want a smaller, garden-style property rather than a large convention hotel, but who still want to stay close enough to Malioboro and central Yogyakarta to explore easily. Its 8.8/10 overall guest score, and particularly its strong marks for room comfort and cleanliness, suggest a property that punches above its size when it comes to the core in-room experience, even without the scale of amenities a bigger resort might offer. The outdoor pool, garden setting and bicycle rentals give it a distinct, unhurried character that differs from the more corporate feel of some of Yogyakarta's larger hotels.
For guests who are still comparing options, it's worth browsing other Yogyakarta hotels on Traveloka to weigh YATS Colony's smaller, garden-focused style against the city's larger convention and resort-style properties before deciding which fits the trip best.
When booking YATS Colony, keep the standard check-in time of 2:00 PM and check-out time of 12:00 PM in mind when planning arrival and departure, especially if arriving on an early flight or taking an overnight train into Yogyakarta. Because the property is a boutique, 40-room hotel rather than a large chain property, rooms can sell out during Yogyakarta's busier travel periods, so booking a little ahead of a planned trip is a reasonable precaution rather than a strict requirement. Guests who want a family or connecting-room configuration should check room availability for that specific category early, since these are more limited than the standard tier.
As with any Traveloka hotel booking, it's worth reviewing the property's listed policies for deposits and local charges, such as a standard tourism tax, before confirming payment, since exact amounts can be adjusted by the property from time to time. Once the stay is settled, travellers can round out their Yogyakarta trip planning from the Traveloka homepage, where flights, activities and other accommodation in the area can all be arranged in one place.
