Hotel berhampiran Sendang Kali Gondang, Borobudur

We had a wonderful stay at Wat Agung Guest House! Reception desk staff were super friendly and accommodating. The room was clean and big enough to stay comfortably with two big backpacks. The location is perfect if you want to get to Borobudur temple early-It’s a 5-10 minute walk to the ticket office. You can buy a ticket online, or at the ticket office. I suggest going early if you opt for buying a ticket on site as there is a daily max of 1200 visitors allowed on the temple. We bought tickets online on Traveloka (some online tickets, like ours exclude the temple visit, but you can pay separately for a temple ticket add-on for 80 000 IDR per person) There are a few shops and restaurants around. Definitely recommend this property!

How good it is to go to an Indonesian hotel that has a star rating that matches its facilities. So many times in the last few weeks we have stayed at hotels that SAY they are five-star but are nowhere close to that. Sarasvati Hotel is listed as 3-star, and 3-star it is. It is spectacularly well located within walking distance of Borobudur Temple, there are lots of restaurants within easy walking distance, and there is a convenience store across the street. The rooms are clean but dated, and set around a quiet courtyard. It would be good to have a desk and chair, and easy access to a powerpoint in the room. I was able to use a table in the dining area for this though. Breakfast was a very pleasant surprise. As a boutique property, I expected there may be little on offer, and certainly not buffet-style. I was wrong. There was tea & coffee, juices, fresh fruit, rice, noodles, a chicken dish, a vegetable dish, a few local goodies, and bread for toasting (butter and 2 jams). There was also an egg chef for made-to-order eggs. My only criticism would be that used dishes were not cleared from the table promptly (or without having to ask). The staff was friendly, and courteous, and provided some good information about the changes to viewing at the Borobudur Temple. The gardens and pool were terrific. Rooms are on two levels, so try for the ground floor level if you do not want to climb stairs.

Excellent design of rooms as well as other buildings. A good swimming pool and sit outs. Restaurant provides food for all types. Has a great support system like hotel pick up and drop, hiring of cars/jeeps for sight seeing. Has other restaurants around within walking distance as well as upscale properties for change. Staff is smiling and helpful, honest and competent. Carry your own tipple as no wine shops around.

Saya telah tinggal di beberapa Aman, dan saya hanya boleh mengatakan bahawa setiap Aman mempunyai kelebihan tersendiri. Aman ini dibina di dalam hutan hujan tropika.Bangunan ini bermodelkan Borobudur.Restoran dan lobi dibuka sepenuhnya.Format seni binanya serupa dengan kuil dan keseluruhan reka bentuk suite ala vila tidak dapat ditandingi oleh ramai Aman. Aman ini dibuka pada tahun 1997. Kemudahan awamnya agak rendah sedikit berbanding tempat lain yang pernah kami duduki. Tiada spa yang berasingan. Spa terletak di bilik tetamu. Perkhidmatan dan pengalaman spa itu sendiri masih sangat baik. Seperti biasa, perkhidmatan Aman tidak bercela. Semasa mendaftar masuk, pengurus mengiringi seluruh proses, menyambut tetamu, menjawab pelbagai soalan tetamu, dan mengatur aktiviti mengikut keperluan tetamu. Kemudian, saya melihat pengurus mempunyai rakaman borang aktiviti harian semua tetamu. Jadual perjalanan dan butirannya bagus. Kami memilih Borobudur dan hutan gunung belakang untuk hiking. Hiking hutan gunung belakang sangat bagus. Kami boleh melihat pemandangan seluruh lembah dan mengenali banyak tumbuhan termasuk bunga cengkih, durian, buah-buahan kulit ular dll. Satu lagi ciri utama Aman ini ialah tempat makan yang sangat baik. Tiada restoran yang bagus berdekatan. Kami makan di hotel sepanjang perjalanan. Ini adalah kali pertama saya melihat hotel dengan menu penuh 11 muka surat, dan semua antaranya boleh hantar ke bilik.Pilihannya banyak.Rasanya pun cukup sedap. Terdapat juga makan malam istimewa setiap malam Jumaat, iaitu seperti pasar makanan, dengan persembahan lagu dan tarian tradisional, dan ia sangat meriah. Terdapat juga perkhidmatan jemput dan hantar lapangan terbang, yang sangat mudah.

This is truly very distinguished place i have ever experienced, nicely quiet and blended well with big Progo river at the back and traditional village around it. The location is near Borobudur temple, Pawon temple (very near) and Mendut temple. The village around hotel is also very interesting to be journey by morning jogging around it. As there are a lot of near tourism spot like Rengginang Cracker local home industry, Tingal Art batik, Paddy rice with Menoreh Hill scenery and also EloProgo art gallery and cafe which is very nice place to see by yourself and by walking only. Very great hotel and definitely worth for recommending to friends and any traveller. 👍❤️

The most awesome resort in Magelang, best view and best service from the staff, feeling like your own home. The resort is located in the village only 3 km from borobudur temple. The road is extremely steep, as you can only park your vehicle at the parking lot, and using their car to bring you to the villa. We are staying at first at Villa Diponegoro with amazing architecture inside, huge villa, and amazing view. However, the pool's water is cloudy after some treatment, so they upgraded us to Merbabu Villa with 3 rooms. And this villa even more amazing. The view is extraordinary, we can see the Borobudur temple very clear and the sunrise as well. The pool is very deep, so be careful with your children. The regulation is not strict, so you don't need to pay for extra pax. The food is tasty with low price. And the most calming and happiest are the really helpful staffs. They provide us with 2 private staffs that can help all of our needs, even to buy traditional food downtown. Maybe I have to say that this resort is much much better than Plataran and Aman Djiwo with comparable price or even slightly lower price. My suggestion is to choose Vila Merbabu or Villa Kayangan for best view. Villa Menoreh also offer a good view. But for guests who like indoor more, you chan choose Diponegoro Villa as it has the most amazing craftmenship for the architecture and also larger indoor area. Surely will come back again to this Villa with my whole family.

The room are spacious, very comfortable and clean. Service is good. Staffs are friendly. Have many varieties of menu for breakfast. Located in the city center

This is not a brand new resort, but it continuous to expand. They now offer vila with private pool as well as new executive room. I stayed at the executive room with private porch situated in front of the main restaurant. The area of the resort itself is a downhill slope facing the Kulon Progo river. You can enjoy some activities next to the river such as badminton, chess and also rafting along the river. With a large area of the resort, in my opinion, they need to increase the number of staff especially in regard to cleaning and house keeping so that the cleanliness will be maintained better and any room services will be quicker. The bed is comfortable and towel is fresh. They offer a basket of local fruits which is also a nice touch. It is worth to note that since this location is in a downhill slope, the pathway is a little bit steep, however a shuttle bus is always ready to pick you up, and transports you up and down within resort.

Bilik hotel agak luas. Keadaan hotel sangat bersih. Perkhidmatan bilik tiba dengan cepat apabila diperlukan. Tiada sabun cecair disediakan. Bilik ini tidak begitu kalis bunyi sehingga bunyi orang berjalan dan bercakap di luar bilik boleh didengari dengan jelas. Tetapi secara keseluruhan ia sangat menyenangkan tinggal di sini
