We picked this hotel after reading a blog post about a Japanese family with kids who stayed there to visit Borobudur, and were sold because of how convenient it was to stay at a hotel right next to the temple complex if you're going for the sunrise tour. Indeed, when we arrived, the hotel room we booked - a Super... More

We had a Junior room, very spacious and bright. However, the mosque is very close and you've the impression the muezzin is in the room with a loud speaker at the first prayer call at 4:20am... The cupboards were smelly and not very clean. The bedsheets also had to be changed twice as they smelled moisture from slow drying. People... More

We stayed here for 3 nights. Room is big and clean. Close to Borobudur Temple, just 10 mins walk. Mr Bambang at the reception was very helpful indeed. He helped us with hiring bicycles (Rp30000 for 2) to ride to Mendut, about 20 mins ride. Helped us with a car and driver to Mt Merapi and our cab back to... More

We booked the royal suite at Sarawasti as it was very near borobudur temple. The hotel looks old and not well maintained. The staff had difficulties understanding english. The room despite being a royal suite had only basic amenities. Toilet was spoilt. Tv had few channels to browse. One plus point is that the internet is very stable. No activity... More

We all know that Indonesia is a Muslim country and it doesn't take away the fact that they have hours of worship and I deeply appreciate and respect their culture. Saraswati Borobudur, despite being expensive for some, is a good place to stay in. The staff are warm and accommodating, very helpful and attentive to their guests' needs. Despite the... More

The Saraswati hotel is excellent located just a few minutes walk grom the entrance from the Borobudur. We read in some comments that you are wakened in the early morning by the mosques in the area. We didn't mind as we got up early in the morning and at 6.00 am we were one of the first to enter the... More

Beautiful hotel. Very warm & friendly staff. We went in the middle of the week. The hotel was very quiet & serene. The rooms were spacious & clean. We had a great dinner in the hotel restaurant. We did the sunrise at Borobudur at 4 am & the hotel had breakfast waiting for us when we came back. The hotel... More

Close proximity to Borobudur. They organized a ride to the temple for sunset at no additional cost (Rp380,000) which is the same if you wake up and walk yourself to the front gates & pay the sunset tour fee. We walked back to the hotel after for breakfast. Was fortunate enough to meet the manager, Mr Safir Boedi, who was... More

Not only did we lose our airline tickets, but when I contacted the hotel 2.5 days in advance, they said to cancel online. When I tried, it said "no... More
