Hotel Review: Grand Quality Hotel Yogyakarta – Indonesia

April 20, 2009 By James Clark

Hotel Review: Grand Quality Hotel Yogyakarta - Indonesia

Hotel Name: Grand Quality Hotel Yogyakarta
Address: Jl. Adisucipto No 48, Yogyakarta Airport, Yogyakarta, Indonesia

I stayed at the Grand Quality Hotel in Yogyakarta as a guest of the hotel, which was arranged by Tourism Indonesia, who I was writing on behalf of.

Grand Quality Jogja, Yogyakarta

I like Indonesian guesthouses but it has been good to have a break in a business-class hotel and have access to free wi-fi from my room. And a pool.

In fact the hotel is so fancy that the elevators have daily carpet changes indicating what day it is.

Many of the international hotel chains in Jogja are out near the airport, which is about 8km from the city. They have a shuttle bus that runs to the city centre, so I have to plan my days activities around the shuttle or get a taxi.

One thing about this hotel is that its a plane spotters dream. I can’t help but look at a plane landing every time I hear one coming.

    Hey James,
    Did you also get to sleep in guest houses in Yodya?
    I’m heading there today 🙂

    Thanks

      Hi Daniele, I don’t remember the name of the place I stayed but the best area is the guesthouses near the train station. Enjoy Indo!
