Dated - although rooms are large, Air conditioning was poor. Also, sub-standard toiletries

Great location, within a few minutes walk to the Borobudur park

It’s a little bit of an older hotel so think old world charm. But the staff were very friendly and the rooms were large and air conditioned, so all up a good mid-range hotel experience

The location is excellent, very close to the Borobudur temple front gate. Made going to the temple in the first session of the day very easy

A few power outages but the fellas backup generator kicked in quickly.

The location was awesome. The breakfast was very yummy too.

Fabulous pool. Loved the beautiful reception area and the central courtyard with fountains in the middle of the rooms. Location couldn't be better, walking distance to Borobudur temple complex. Staff were a delight

Our room had a dusty dirty floor...there was a lot of dust on all the handrails and staircases throughout the building

Loved the gardens, pool and grounds and the building. The staff was kind and helpful

Breakfast is ok, can be improved.

Our room is very spacious though the Layout is a bit weird. It’s a small hotel of 18 rooms, very nicely maintain and very homey. Friendly staff too. Super near to Borobudur temple

Aircon in my room was noisy

Excellent service. Best choice is Nasi Goreng

The bathroom can be better designed. All you need is the right choice of colour and tiles.

all was good. just staff could be more knowledgeable about the surrounding activities for example Mondays the temple is closed to visits, where you find a sarong… simple questions.

Location is perfect to walk to Borobudur temple. Building is nice urban location, not resort type. Pool is nice.

When outside in the pool area, the noise from the road is unfortunately close by and as a general theme in Java, for those who are not aware, the first call to prayer in the mosques are around 4/4:30am each morning. This hotel are surrounded by them, so hard to sleep through if that is not your general time to wake up.

the staff were extremely helpful and went out of their way to accommodate our requests. They were able to extend breakfast time due to our visit to Borobudur temple and gave me a private space to teach yoga classes in the morning and evenings to my group. Breakfast was delicious and we also chose to have dinner there once, which was really good. The hotel is very close to the temple. there is a big pool which is definitely a bonus. we booked massages through the hotel as well, and although it was a bit pricey, they were really good.

Perfect location if you are looking to explore Borobudur temple. It's a very short 3 minute walk to the main entrance. Beautiful pool!

It is a nice and pleasant first time experience. As the cozy room, nice breakfast and close to the Borobudur Temple, it is very recommended place to stay with. Upon check out, they let us park our car in the hotel and free us from trouble parking in the Temple.

Surprisingly beautiful building with high ceilings and antique furniture. Better than its pictures really. Very colonial style but not in your face. 5 min walk from the temple so perfect base for it - can see it first thing and come back for breakfast! Staff so friendly too.

the hotel is a bit old, and expect the furniture a bit wear down.

location is just 5 minutes walk to the borobudur entrance.

A few maintenance issues that should have been dealt with prior to guests checking in - the toilet kept running once flushed. The sliding door did not close properly and was therefore not able to lock. The hotel car did not have rear seat belts and the side window in the front was bubbled so you could not see out of it clearly which made sightseeing from it tricky.

A beautiful old world feel. Walking distance to all the Borobudur Temples. The pool was lovely. The full body massage next tot the pool is a must. When I visited, there were still COVID restrictions meaning that there were limited guests. Instead of the usual buffet, breakfast was ordered a la carte.

The bathroom didn't had bathtub. Could have more options for breakfast; no complains for the taste tho - had nasi goreng, soto, and toast.

Fantastic place to stay in Magelang! Family suite was very spacious; noone else was using the pool when we were there so we got it all for ourselves. Walking distance to night market, minimarket, delicious local eateries and Borobudur temple. Too bad we couldn't catch sunset/sunrise due to covid.

Stayed in March 2022

There wasn't any hot water in the shower and for the 2 minutes there was warm water, the waterpressure was not great. The room felt a little too big and not homely. Also due to covid the restaurant is closed.

The hotel is close to the Borobudur at about 5 min walking. For me the main reason to stay here was the closeness to the temple to visit early in the morning. However since the the Borobudur only opens around 8am now, a taxi from Yogyakarta and back is during covid maybe a better option. The pool was great though!

Nothing

It's so clean, old world charm. No complaints at all. The pool was well maintained and lovely.

Sarsvati Hotel is very close to the Borobudur complex and really gorgeous. We arrived by car and were a bit early, but the lovely gentleman in charge had our rooms ready and let us check in a bit early. The lobby and rooms are grand and beautifully decorated. The pool is fabulous and I loved the central courtyard aspect of the rooms. We had to make a very early start on our checkout day and the hotel kindly agreed to let us have breakfast at 6am, even though it normally starts at 7am. Honestly, I couldn't have asked for more.
