Its proximity to these sites makes it a natural choice for sightseeing and leisurely city exploration.

The hotel’s design carries a vintage appeal, with touches of art deco that evoke a sense of nostalgia, though some guests note its age is visible and maintenance varies.

You can directly do reservation and check-in. Little large room. Musholla is available. The owner is so humble. The location is so strategic in the centre of the city. Just need to walk to Kraton Museum, Kampung Batik Kauman, and Pasar Klewer. But the cleanliness of the room's bed sheets, floor, and bathroom should need improvement. Mosquitoes around.
