I have only negative about this hotel. You have to pass through the restaurant to go to and from the entrance to your room. The staff kept asking if I was there to dine every time I passed through. Otherwise, it was very clean and very well located. Most things were walkable.

Grand Hotel De Djokja
毎朝の朝食がとても楽しみでした。普段なら洋食ビュッフェがメインで、一部ご当地グルメを取り込むのご私のスタイルですが、朝から何種類ものご当地グルメを優しい味付けでたっぷり食べることができます。 スタッフの応対など全般的にレベルが高いホテルでした。唯一マイナス点は、扉が閉 めにくく、強く押し込まないと完全には閉まらないことで、ここだけは気になりました。
