Travellers describe The Phoenix Hotel Yogyakarta - Handwritten Collection as a beautiful historic property with colonial character, friendly staff, and an extensive breakfast, in a convenient location for Malioboro, complemented by a pool, spa, and tour assistance.
Several reviews note dated or worn rooms and bathrooms, some maintenance issues, and traffic noise in certain street- or petrol-station-facing rooms. Breakfast is widely praised, while dinner and room service are described as average or pricey by some. Overall, expect a heritage stay that favors charm over modern polish.

The Phoenix Hotel is beautiful and luxurious, with an open, airy feel and Asian art all over the place. The pool is very pleasant and well-used (including by my wife and me), and I also got a nice massage. Our room was nice, with a small deck overlooking the pool--though the hotel grounds are so extensive that it took a while to get there from the entry. The A/C and shower in our room worked well, but there was a problem with the shower pipes that created a loud noise and required periodically adjusting the knobs (sometimes in the middle of the night). The staff was over-the-top friendly, but the service itself was uneven. For example, the staff did not replace our towels and bath mats even after specific requests. (We took lots of showers due to the heat and humidity, so the towels needed replacing.) The included breakfast was extensive in a pretty setting, but the focus was on quantity over quality. One could find decent things to eat, though, whereas dinner was flat-out bad with slow service (though slow service seems common in Indonesia). We ate dinner at the hotel our first night and never again. We also were disappointed in the location. We thought we would like being near Malioboro St., but only visited it once and felt no need to go back. Instead, we went across town every night to an area with better restaurants. So although the Phoenix Hotel overall was very nice, we would probably try somewhere else if we ever went back to Yogyakarta.

Très bel et ancien hôtel style colonial. Belle décoration et beaucoup de charme. Les chambres sont spacieuses, lit très confortable. La carte du restaurant est limitée, mais dans l’ensemble la cuisine est correcte. Grand buffet avec beaucoup de choix pour le petit-déjeuner. Beaucoup de possibilités d’autres restaurants à l’extérieur. Très belle piscine. Les plus belles chambres sont celles qui y font face. Grand choix de massages dans le spa de l’hôtel. L’emplacement est très bon et proche de Malioboro. Nous recommandons cet hôtel et y reviendrons certainement.

This hotel was wonderful, a cross between staying in a faded stately home and a museum! It has so much history, lovely pool and small gym. The breakfast was very extensive, served in the large internal courtyard, you can eat inside or out. The staff here couldn’t do enough for you, brilliant service. Very handy for Malioboro street. Don’t expect super plush modern rooms, they are a little dated but totally in keeping with the character of the hotel.

A beautiful hotel very well located. The property is charming, with an exception pool to relax after visiting the amazing temples in Yogyakarta. And it has one of the best breakfast buffets we had in our trip.

Great staff! Excellent communication since day one. We booked airport trabsfer and the driver also was the driver to take us to the temples… it’s for an extra fee but worth hiring the ride with hotel directly. I have a recent lung condition and the staff was extra accommodating to me not walking as much and giving me a room in the first floor , connecting me to a wheelchair service at borubudur temple. I highly recommend the spa, too! The hotel is like a small Museum, so pretty!

Totally amazing stay at the Phoenix. The most beautiful hotel, the loveliest staff, incredible food and service. The decor of the hotel is outstanding, there is a pool and very helpful travel service to organise tours to the many different attractions around the region. I would recommend to everyone and everyone visiting the amazing city of Yogyakarta.

Warum dieses Hotel eine 5 Sterne Bewertung hat, war uns ehrlich gesagt ein Rätsel. Es ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen und bedarf einiger Renovierungen. Die Zimmer sind relativ abgenutzt und zB die Scheibe der Dusche ist völlig verkalkt. Wir hatten erst ein Queen Zimmer mit Balkon, bei dem man auf gefängnisartigen Stacheldraht geschaut hat. Das Zimmer war winzig, wir konnten aber gegen Aufpreis upgraden. Das Frühstücksbuffet ist reichhaltig und in Ordnung aber auch nicht besser als in jedem anderen (nicht 5-Sterne) Hotel, das wir in Indonesien hatten. Das nervigste ist der Pool: viel zu wenig Liegen und immer überfüllt und man muss um einen Platz kämpfen. Das Gym ist in Ordnung, als wir da waren hat aber nur 1 Laufband funktioniert. Das Personal ist freundlich und bemüht aber leider nicht immer hilfreich, da es diverse Missverständnisse gab, zB als wir das Zimmer wechselten und ewig auf den Anruf gewartet haben, nachdem ich 2x nachgefragt habe, ob sie sich melden oder wir kommen sollen (letzteres war der Fall). Auch als meine Wäsche kommen sollte, wurde mir versichert dass diese sofort gebracht wird aber als nach 30 min immer noch nichts kam, musste ich selber runter. Entschuldigt wurde sich nie. Alle Preise im Hotel sind auf europäischem Niveau, dh in lokaler Währung kosten sie ein Vermögen (egal, ob Essen, Wäsche oder Transfers). Für einen kleinen Beutel Wäsche waren 20 Euro fällig. Einiges klingt ggf nach Meckern auf hohem Niveau aber bei 5 Sternen erwartet man eben mehr.

19世紀初頭に中国人富豪の邸宅として建てられたホテルだそうです。調度品や装飾品も素敵で、まるで美術館のよう。スタッフも気が利いていて、フレンドリーで、礼儀正しく、快適に過ごせました。清掃もしっかりなされていました。一つだけ、シャワールームの排水溝のにおいが少し気になりましたが、東南アジアなので、インフラの問題でしょうがないかと思います。

This is a stunning building in a great location in Yogyakarta. Probably one of the most attractive hotels we have ever stayed at. However, it is currently running the risk of becoming dated. Obviously I understand the colonial theme is vital to this hotel, however the fixtures and fittings are a bit worn and the place could do with a bit of a refresh. The staff are exceptional and we received a very warm welcome. Breakfast was good with a good range of food and drink. The restaurant for dinner and the room service offering was below par for a hotel of this standard. Although it was fairly priced, the food was nothing exceptional. Very generic Hotel food and even signature dishes like the Nasi Goreng weren't particularly exciting. It is not as good as the Indonesian food I can get in London, which I found really surprising. I think a lick of paint and some improved cleaning of the bathrooms would go a long way. The corners were quite dirty and there was lots of dirt and stuff behind the beds which showed they hadn't been moved to be cleaned. Re the laundry service we ended up with somebody else's socks and the pair of jeans we sent for washing came back with marks on. The drainage in the shower was very instead of going into the drain actually went away from the drain. So whoever tiled this did a substandard job and must have missed physics class! This means you have to stand in dirty water. Overall, it's a great hotel and I would return if the small tweaks were made.

Staff and food incredible. All the rest very poor for the value. We checked in and the room they gave us was not available and not cleaned. Had to wait until they found another room. We went there and there was no key. Finally like 40 min later we were in our room with key. The water was leaking. We had to wait a LOT for hot water, in the meantime all the water was wasted and the worst was the neighbor he talked a lot and you could hear absolutely everything. Need to improve SOON

The breakfast buffet has an amazing selection. The building, garden and location is absolutely enchanting. The only drawback is the deluxe room we booked is overlooking a petrol station that continuously played music all night. On the second night, they have a dog that whines throughout the night. The balcony door is not sealed. If I knew that the room viewing the city will be this noisy I would have tried to book the pool view although it was not clear through expedia if I had that option.

Das Personal ist freundlich und bemüht aber leider nicht immer hilfreich, da es diverse Missverständnisse gab, zB als wir das Zimmer wechselten und ewig auf den Anruf gewartet haben, nachdem ich 2x nachgefragt habe, ob sie sich melden oder wir kommen sollen (letzteres war der Fall). Auch als meine Wäsche kommen sollte, wurde mir versichert dass diese sofort gebracht wird aber als nach 30 min immer noch nichts kam, musste ich selber runter. Entschuldigt wurde sich nie. Alle Preise im Hotel sind auf europäischem Niveau, dh in lokaler Währung kosten sie ein Vermögen (egal, ob Essen, Wäsche oder Transfers). Für einen kleinen Beutel Wäsche waren 20 Euro fällig. Einiges klingt ggf nach Meckern auf hohem Niveau aber bei 5 Sternen erwartet man eben mehr.
Warum dieses Hotel eine 5 Sterne Bewertung hat, war uns ehrlich gesagt ein Rätsel. Es ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen und bedarf einiger Renovierungen. Die Zimmer sind relativ abgenutzt und zB die Scheibe der Dusche ist völlig verkalkt. Wir hatten erst ein Queen Zimmer mit Balkon, bei dem man auf gefängnisartigen Stacheldraht geschaut hat. Das Zimmer war winzig, wir konnten aber gegen Aufpreis upgraden.

This is a stunning building in a great location in Yogyakarta. Probably one of the most attractive hotels we have ever stayed at. However, it is currently running the risk of becoming dated. Obviously I understand the colonial theme is vital to this hotel, however the fixtures and fittings are a bit worn and the place could do with a bit of a refresh. The staff are exceptional and we received a very warm welcome. Breakfast was good with a good range of food and drink. The restaurant for dinner and the room service offering was below par for a hotel of this standard. Although it was fairly priced, the food was nothing exceptional. Very generic Hotel food and even signature dishes like the Nasi Goreng weren't particularly exciting. It is not as good as the Indonesian food I can get in London, which I found really surprising. I think a lick of paint and some improved cleaning of the bathrooms would go a long way. The corners were quite dirty and there was lots of dirt and stuff behind the beds which showed they hadn't been moved to be cleaned. Re the laundry service we ended up with somebody else's socks and the pair of jeans we sent for washing came back with marks on. The drainage in the shower was very instead of going into the drain actually went away from the drain. So whoever tiled this did a substandard job and must have missed physics class! This means you have to stand in dirty water. Overall, it's a great hotel and I would return if the small tweaks were made.

This hotel is very good, with comfortable rooms, beautiful details and kind attention. The only complain would be that the people working at the reception don't provide any reliable information about the city. They appear to be oblivious about the way of reaching the important places, like Borobudur and Prambanan temples, close to town. It is tempting to think that this is so by design, to prevent foreigners from going their independent way. The hotel provides transportation to the temples for 10X the price of going by public transportation, My attempt of getting basic info resulted in surrealistic conversations, close to Groucho Marx: Prambanan has a train station but no train ever stops there, or Borobudur does not have a bus terminal and the schedule for the buses going to this non-existing terminal is something that nobody knows. How sweet is this nonsense!

Staff and food incredible. All the rest very poor for the value. We checked in and the room they gave us was not available and not cleaned. Had to wait until they found another room. We went there and there was no key. Finally like 40 min later we were in our room with key. The water was leaking. We had to wait a LOT for hot water, in the meantime all the water was wasted and the worst was the neighbor he talked a lot and you could hear absolutely everything. Need to improve SOON

Great staff! Excellent communication since day one. We booked airport trabsfer and the driver also was the driver to take us to the temples… it’s for an extra fee but worth hiring the ride with hotel directly. I have a recent lung condition and the staff was extra accommodating to me not walking as much and giving me a room in the first floor , connecting me to a wheelchair service at borubudur temple. I highly recommend the spa, too! The hotel is like a small Museum, so pretty!

The hotel premises are very nice. The hotel has more traditional vibes which is cool when you are used to staying at more modern hotels. Breakfast was very good and had a lot of variety to it and the restaurant itself was partially inside and partially outside and located in an inner courtyard. So it was rather quiet, so you could really enjoy the early morning. The location of the hotel was also very good. Malioboro street can be reached within a short walk. The staff were very friendly. We did not notice any excessive questioning about our whereabouts as mentioned in some reviews. As for the rooms, they seemed a bit dated but clean. The only thing that bothered us was that our room was not very soundproof, so we were woken up before 5AM on both nights of our stay (and we are not light sleepers).

The Hotel and communal area are beautiful and the service was good. All the employees are very friendly. What we didn't like was our room, the room, the furniture and the washroom really need an update. The breakfast buffet was good. A la cart menu was just Ok. We ordered a pan fried fish, snapper, and it wasn't good at all.

This hotel lived up to our expectations. A colonial hotel with beautiful furniture and artifacts. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. The breakfast buffet was extensive, Indonesian choices, egg station and plenty of fruit, specially made juices. On a slight downside, the rooms were a bit tired and in need of refurbishment (but it is a 100 years old). The dinner buffet is not so extensive as breakfast. There is an a la carte menu which we didn’t try but maybe more choice. The transfer service from the airport was expensive compared to a taxi or Grab. Overall we really enjoyed our 3 nights here.

We love the hotel and enjoyed the extensive breakfast buffet. We ate dinner there and the food was good. Bizarrely, wine was unbelievably expensive with the cheapest bottle being over $200. When we said that the restaurant and the front desk they said that a lot of people say that. Roaster and bear around the corner is a very good restaurant with $30 bottles of wine.

Gorgeous hotel. The bedrooms itself was less special, but the communal areas were outstanding - so historic and beautiful. I also loved sitting outside by the fountain for breakfast and dinner. The pool area was also lovely, and never crowded. I used the spa services a couple of times, and had some lovely treatments. Breakfast has plenty of options, and there was relaxing live music while you were eating. I ate there every evening. The local food was very good, but don't bother ordering anything with chips - they are terrible! Staff were helpful and spoke good English. Made me a pack up breakfast when I was getting up early to see the sunrise at Borobodur temple. Location is close to the train station and Malioboro Street (more impressive in the evening than during the day). ATMs and grocery stores are just a few minutes walk. I had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to others.
