Not gonna lie, staying at Pulang ke Uttara is like... recharging my body and soul 🧘🏻♀️🌿
Initially, I just wanted a relaxing staycation in Jogja, but it turned out to be the most memorable healing place I've ever been to. It literally made me never want to leave. 😭
The room is spacious, clean, with a soft bed, cool AC, soft lighting, and large windows—so the morning light can come in and instantly improve my mood. The bathroom is also clean, with hot water flowing smoothly, and there's a touch of aromatherapy. ✨
👋 Service? 11/10.
The staff is super friendly, helpful but not overly so. It's like chatting with your own older sibling. Upon check-in, you're immediately given a cold herbal welcome drink (seriously delicious), and they also give recommendations for local food and coffee that aren't mainstream but delicious. Not stiff, not scripted—purely helpful.
🪩 The interior? Aesthetics every corner!
If you're the type who immediately wants to take a cute OOTD photo every time you see a cute wall, this hotel is truly heaven. Seriously, every corner is thoughtful.
From the semi-industrial yet earthy lobby, the unfinished walls with hanging plants, to the Instagrammable bathroom corners. No lie.
🛡️ Security? So safe, bestie!
One thing that makes me feel super comfortable here is the security system. Every time you enter or exit your room, you have to use an access card (keycard). Not just the room door, but even access to the main building requires a card.
For those of you traveling solo or first-timers to Yogyakarta, this hotel really feels secure. No random people can just walk in, and there's none of that "scary" hotel vibe from horror movies.
🍴 Culinary Paradise Around the Hotel
One of the things that makes me love Pulang ke Uttara even more is... its strategic location, close to all the delicious food 😭💯
So you don't have to ride a motorbike far just to find food. In fact, just a 5-minute walk or motorbike taxi will take you to various hidden culinary gems and beautiful cafes.
