Indulge in Luxury: NEXT HOTEL Yogyakarta's Unforgettable Experience
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we’re diving deep into the NEXT HOTEL Yogyakarta. Forget perfectly polished travel blogs – this is the real deal, the unvarnished truth, dusted with a healthy dose of chaos. I'm talking stream-of-consciousness meets hotel review, with a side of SEO (because, you know, gotta be found, right?).
SEO's Got Nothing on My Brain (but I'll try…): NEXT HOTEL Yogyakarta – The Good, The Great, and the “Did I Remember to Pack My…?”
Let's be real, finding the PERFECT hotel is like finding a unicorn that also makes a decent espresso. But the NEXT HOTEL Yogyakarta? Well, it comes pretty darn close. This isn't just a place to crash; it's an experience. And an experience, as my therapist keeps reminding me, is nothing without its mess, its triumphs, and its utter face-palm moments.
Accessibility: The "Can I Even GET There?" Factor
Okay, so I'll be up front. I don't need the accessibility features. But as someone who occasionally stumbles over my own feet (and mental stability), I appreciate them. Elevator? Check. Facilities for disabled guests? Double check! Now, I didn't exactly go wheelchair-inspecting every inch of the place, but from what I saw, they've thought about this. Bonus points for making it easy to navigate, even if you're, you know, a bit…klutzy.
On-Site Restaurants/Lounges: Food, Glorious Food (and Caffeine, Please!)
Alright, let’s get to the good stuff. Food. The NEXT HOTEL doesn't skimp. They've got restaurants, people. Plural. And a bar. This is crucial. We’re not just talking about a sad, greasy-spoon experience. We’re talking about options. International cuisine? Check. Asian cuisine? Check. Vegetarian options? Yassss!
My Breakfast Debacle (A Story of Croissants and Complete Chaos)
Okay, so, breakfast. I LOVE breakfast. I live for breakfast. And the breakfast buffet here? Majestic. Seriously, it was almost worth the flight just to get there. A buffet in the restaurant. The sheer volume of food was impressive. But, the real story here is this: I, in my infinite genius, piled my plate with croissants, eggs benedict, and about five different kinds of fruit. I then proceeded to spill coffee all over myself while attempting to navigate a conversation (with a rather attractive waiter) and an overflowing plate. The resulting mess? Humiliating, yes. Deliciously embarrassing? Absolutely. This is LIFE, friends. The hotel’s staff was GREAT about it and cleaned it up with good humour, too. Kudos! Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant – Check. Coffee/tea in restaurant – Double check. Happy hour – Obviously checked (multiple times). The food was amazing, the waiters were amazing. 10/10, would spill coffee again.
Speaking of Food… (and Other Essentials)
- Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: So much to mention: A la carte in restaurant, Alternative meal arrangement, Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Bar, Bottle of water, Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Restaurants, Room service [24-hour], Salad in restaurant, Snack bar, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant - These guys have it covered.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Spa Days & Poolside Daydreams
The Pool with View, Swimming pool [outdoor] is gorgeous. The Spa, Spa/sauna, Sauna, Steamroom, Gym/fitness, Foot bath, Body scrub, Body wrap, Massage options are plentiful. I’m a HUGE fan of a good body scrub, so I definitely took advantage. That moment of pure bliss…I can still taste it. Also, they have a gym, which I glanced at once before retreating to the aforementioned pool. Let's be honest, the only exercise I do on vacation is walking to the bar.
- For the Kids: Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal - If you're traveling with sprouts, this place seems like a win.
Cleanliness and Safety: Sanitized Sanity
Okay, this is where NEXT HOTEL Yogyakarta absolutely shines. In this new world, you want to know your hotel isn't just pretending to care. They’re serious. And damn it’s reassuring: Anti-viral cleaning products, Cashless payment service, Daily disinfection in common areas, Doctor/nurse on call, First aid kit, Hand sanitizer, Hot water linen and laundry washing, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Shared stationery removed, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment. This is good. Like, peace-of-mind good.

My room was a sanctuary. Let’s be honest, I needed it. I mean, air conditioning? A bathtub? Blackout curtains? Free Wi-Fi? – bless them! After a day of exploring, or just generally existing, it was the perfect place to collapse, order room service (24-hour, yes!), and watch some questionable reality TV. The bed was an absolute dream, and the bathroom was spotless. The fact that there was a scale made me consider my life choices, but hey, at least I had a mirror to judge myself in later!
Services & Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Big Difference

- The concierge was super helpful.
- Laundry service? Lifesaver.
- Contactless check-in/out? (Hallelujah!).
- The elevator was definitely a must.
- Also, a convenience store – which came in handy when the midnight snack cravings hit.
Getting Around: Smooth Sailing to the Sunset (Hopefully!)
Airport transfer, Bicycle parking, Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Car power charging station, Taxi service, Valet parking. Getting to the hotel was a breeze, and there was ample parking (but I was a taxi person). A Taxi service is there as well.
The Verdict: Book It. Seriously. (But Maybe Pack Extra Coffee)
The NEXT HOTEL Yogyakarta isn’t perfect. No place is. But it’s damn close. It’s luxurious without being pretentious. It’s safe, clean, and friendly. The food is heavenly, the rooms are comfortable, and the staff makes you feel like you're actually, y’know, important. And let’s be honest, after the year we've all had, we DESERVE a bit of pampering.
Why am I going on about this? Well, here's the deal…
Indulge in Luxury: NEXT HOTEL Yogyakarta's Unforgettable Experience
Tired of the same old, same old? Ready to escape the everyday and dive headfirst into a world of comfort, delicious food, and genuine relaxation? Then it's time to book your escape to the NEXT HOTEL Yogyakarta.
Here's what awaits you:
- Unparalleled Comfort: Sink into plush beds, unwind in spacious rooms with Air Conditioning, and let the world melt away. Everything in your room is well-thought out, from the the Blackout curtains to
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's meticulously planned travel itinerary. This is… my attempt at seeing Yogyakarta, and lord knows what'll actually happen. We're aiming for Next Hotel, Yogyakarta – a place that, from the pictures, promises a sleek, minimalist vibe. We'll see if my chaotic soul can survive it. Here we go:
DAY 1: Yogyakarta - Arrival and… Immediate Disaster?
08:00 AM: ARRIVAL - Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA). Okay, first impression: It's hot. Really hot. And the immigration line looks like the slow-motion version of a zombie apocalypse, but with more bored-looking officials. Already considering trading in my nice passport for a lifetime supply of air conditioning.
09:00 AM: Taxi to Next Hotel. Praying the driver understands "Next Hotel." My Indonesian is limited to "terima kasih" (thank you) and "nasi goreng" (fried rice). The latter is more useful, tbh.
09:30 AM (ish): Arrival at Next Hotel. Check-in. Praying the room has a decent view…and functioning AC. Anxiety level: Mildly caffeinated squirrel.
(10:00 AM onwards): Let the games begin… or, you know, the unpack-and-recover-from-travel-trauma begin. Quick scan of the room. Breathe. Okay, minimalist chic. I can do this. Maybe.
11:00 AM: Aaaaaand, disaster strikes. The AC in my room ISN'T WORKING. Right. Just the thing to make me feel instantly at home. Called reception. They sound apologetic. Let the waiting begin. I'm running on fumes and this is NOT how I envisioned my first hour. Rant over.
12:30 PM: Lunch, IF the AC gets fixed. The little restaurant. Crossing fingers it ain't pretentious. Hoping they have cold drinks. Very cold drinks.
1:30 PM - 4:00 PM (if AC fixed): Rest. Nap. Stare at the ceiling. Regain composure.
4:00 PM: Time to experience the hotel, if I can. I want to use the pool, but I don't want to look like a sweaty, lobster-red tourist. Decisions, decisions..
6:00 PM: I AM IN THE POOL!!! (Finally!) The water is cool, the sun is setting. Ahhhh. This is what vacation is supposed to feel like. I'm actually starting to chill out. Feeling very zen, very…until a group of kids start doing cannonballs. Splash! Okay, cute and annoying. This is life, I guess.
7:00 PM Dinner at the hotel. The menu looks good .
8:00 PM: Maybe a stroll around the hotel, see what there is to see. Check out the bar, maybe. Maybe I'll run into my future Indonesian husband..
DAY 2: Borobudur, The Monumental Muddle
- 06:00 AM: Wake up: Early start because BOROBUDUR. This is the big one. The reason I booked this trip.
- 06:30 AM: Find breakfast somewhere. (Hotel, hopefully. I'm too lazy to venture out this early.) Strong coffee is crucial.
- 07:30 AM: Tour pickup (hopefully). Another taxi ride. I'm getting good at the basic gestures.
- 09:00 AM (ish): Arrive at Borobudur. Whoa. Just…whoa. Seriously. This place is majestic. The pictures DO NOT do it justice. It's like something out of a dream, or a really good Indiana Jones movie. I get slightly overwhelmed.
- Guided wander: Absolutely necessary, I think. So many stories and layers of history. The tour guide is a good story teller, I have to say. I almost trip over a root. I'm not the most graceful person, especially when awestruck.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch near Borobudur. Simple and filling.
- 14:00 PM: On my way back to Yogyakarta.
- 16:00 PM: Back at the hotel, exhausted but happy and so much more in love with my trip now!
- 18:00 PM: Dinner. I'm thinking local. Time to face my fear of street food (with a little help from the hotel concierge's recommendations)
- 19:30 PM: Strolling the mall, I get lost in the chaos.
DAY 3: Culture, Crafts, and… Coconut Water?
- 08:00 AM: Maybe sleep in a little. The temple has earned it. Breakfast at the hotel.
- 09:30 AM: Batik class (hopefully). I want to try some traditional Indonesian arts and crafts. It's supposed to be messy and fun. I'm expecting to create a beautiful masterpiece or end up covered in wax.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch near Batik class. Something small, and hopefully a little adventure.
- 13:30 PM: Visit the Sultan's Palace, the Kraton. It's supposed to be fascinating, but I'm also worried it'll be one of those places where you accidentally offend someone because you don't know the customs. Going in prepared!
- 15:30 PM: Explore the Taman Sari water castle, a former royal garden. Sounds beautiful.
- 17:00 PM: Street food tour! (Yay, I'm not scared anymore!). Trying everything!
- 19:00 PM: Buy some souvenirs.
- 20:00 PM: Drinks at a rooftop bar. Watch the city lights twinkle. Reflect on a truly amazing day.
DAY 4: Temples, Transportation, and Tears
- 07:00 AM: Breakfast. Getting used to this routine.
- 08:00 AM: Check out from the hotel. Sad to leave.
- 09:00 AM: Visit Prambanan Temple. Another temple complex. Apparently, even more impressive than Borobudur.
- 11:00 AM: Visit Sewu Temple, maybe some smaller temples near Prambanan.
- 13:00 PM: Head back to the airport, and say goodbye to my Yogyakarta adventure.
- 15:00 PM: Flight home.
Final Thoughts:
This is just a plan. I'm sure things will go wrong. I'm sure I'll get lost. I'm sure I'll eat something that makes me regret my life choices. But I'm also sure I'll have an amazing time. Because that's what travel is about, right? Embracing the chaos, the unexpected, and the occasional bout of existential dread while staring at a giant, ancient temple. Wish me luck. I'll probably need it. And maybe a lifetime supply of air conditioning.

Indulge in Luxury: NEXT HOTEL Yogyakarta's Unforgettable Experience - Or Was It? (FAQ, Because Apparently, We Need Those)
Alright, buckle up. You want answers? You got 'em. Ish. Let's just say my experience wasn't exactly a flawlessly polished Instagram post... but hey, at least it's honest, right?
1. So, is NEXT HOTEL Yogyakarta *actually* luxurious? Like, real-deal luxury?
Okay, this is where things get a little... muddy. The pictures? Gorgeous. The lobby? Definitely has that "we-spent-a-fortune" vibe. Me? I was expecting to be instantly enveloped in a cloud of… well, whatever luxury smells like. Think less "hotel room," and more "palace."
The *room* itself...well, it was nice. Clean, modern, all that jazz. But the "luxury" factor? It felt more like a very *efficient* upgrade. Like, a really, really nice IKEA. I'm not saying it was bad! Far from it. But remember how I told my friend on WhatsApp expecting champagne on arrival? Haha! That was a dream.
My verdict? Definitely a step up from a budget motel, but maybe not quite the "lose-yourself-in-opulence" fantasy I’d cooked up in my head. Let's call it "luxury-adjacent."
2. What about the food? Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner – spill the beans!
Oh, the food! Okay, breakfast was... a mixed bag. The buffet was *massive*. Like, a terrifyingly good, you-could-eat-yourself-into-a-coma kind of massive. The pastries? Divine. Truly, angels sing when you eat those. But the scrambled eggs? A tad overcooked, let's be honest. And the coffee...well, let's just say I needed a double shot of espresso after *every* cup to feel human.
Lunch and dinner? Didn't have either. But for a place that prides itself on this "luxury" image, the price for room service seemed a *little* steep. I mean, I'm not made of money!
Overall: Great pastries, questionable eggs, and a coffee I'd rather forget. Maybe pack some instant coffee, just in case.
3. The Pool! The Spa! Did you get to experience these supposed "pampering" features?
The pool? Gorgeous. Seriously, Instagram-worthy. I spent a solid two hours pretending to be effortlessly cool while I probably looked like a drowned rat. The water was the perfect temperature, the sun was shining, and for a while, I actually *felt* luxurious. Until a rogue inflatable flamingo nearly took me out.
The spa? Yes, I went for a massage. And it was... intense. Like, the masseuse had the strength of ten men! I’m pretty sure she could have kneaded concrete. My muscles screamed in protest (in a good way, eventually). Did I enjoy it? Absolutely. Did I walk out feeling lighter than air? Maybe… or maybe it was just the caffeine from the instant coffee kicking in.
Verdict: Pool – yes, absolutely. Spa – bring your "I can handle anything" face (and maybe a few extra rupiah for a strong tip!).
4. Okay, so the room was nice, but what about the service? Were the staff helpful? Or just... awkward?
This is where NEXT HOTEL shines. The staff? They were *amazing*. Seriously, always smiling, always helpful. From the bellhop to the person who brought extra towels (because I spilled coffee *everywhere*), everyone was genuinely friendly and eager to assist. I felt like royalty (minus the actual crown, obviously). They tried to make my stay exceptional, even when I was clearly a disaster of a human.
I forgot my adapter, they gave me one. I needed directions, they gave me a map (and patiently repeated the directions when I looked completely lost, which was often). They really, *really* went above and beyond.
So the service? Five stars, no question. They deserve a raise. Like, all of them.
5. The location! Is it a good place to explore Yogyakarta?
Location, location, location, right? NEXT HOTEL is pretty well-situated. It's not *right* in the thick of it (thank goodness, I'm not a fan of constant horns and noise!), but it's easy enough to get around. You can grab a taxi or a Grab easily.
Close enough to the hustle and bustle to enjoy Yogyakarta, far enough to ensure a calm sleep, I can fully recommend it for a stay there.
You can't go wrong with this location!
6. Would you recommend NEXT HOTEL Yogyakarta? Be honest!
Okay, the million-dollar question. Would I? Yes. But with caveats. If you're looking for "pure," "over-the-top" unapologetic luxury, maybe adjust your expectations slightly. If you're expecting absolute perfection... well, you might be disappointed (like I was...slightly). But if you want a comfortable, clean, stylish, and well-located hotel with *amazing* staff, then YES. Absolutely.
I'd go back. I'd tell my friends to go. Just, you know, pack your own coffee. And maybe bring a flamingo. Because why not?
7. Was there anything *really* bad? Like, a major letdown?
Hmm... bad? Not *bad*, per se. There were some *minor* hiccups. Like, my air conditioning was a little...unpredictable. Sometimes it blasted me with arctic winds, other times it seemed to give up altogether. And the Wi-Fi? Well, let's just say Netflix wasn't exactly smooth sailing. But honestly? These are small potatoes. You adjust. The service? The pool? The amazing staff? Those are the things that stick with you.
I guess the most disappointing thing was the lack of chocolates on the pillow, but hey, maybe I'm just greedy. I think it's safe to say, overall I felt like the overall experience was pleasant. Not perfect, but who expects perfection, anyway?
8. What's the *one* thing you remember most about your stay?
Okay, this is cheesy but the incredible staff made a real impact. It was not just the service, it was the genuine kindness, I never felt like a number,Book Hotels Now
