The toilet was incredibly smelly and not very clean. AC controller was also not working properly, the commands were weird and mixed up. Hard to set the right comfort for sleep. Plus the AC was directly pointed on our heads during sleep.

Great place with pool and awesome staff. Nice fridge with drinks and good breakfast.

The staff at OTU Hostel were amazingly friendly and helpful. I 100% recommend staying here for anyone considering visiting Yogyakarta!

It is hard for a car to come & out from the alley. The hostel is also quite near to a mosque, so you need earplugs to stay asleep.

The pool is clean enough & perfect for cooling down after a long day. The staff are accomodating & friendly. The room has a good size & regularly cleaned. The location is nearby restaurants.

The shower wast always running properly, bedlinnen could have been cleaner the bathroom in general could use a renovation.

The staff, the swimming pool, the fridge/kitchen and the common area in general.

Stayed in July 2025

The blanket was a little scratchy and sometimes you could hear the music in the common areas in the room during daylight hours but it was fine with earplugs.

We loved this hostel. The common areas were lovely, it was always really well cleaned, the place was quiet and in a great location. The staff were honestly the highlight though. Both the day and night staff were really friendly and we felt so comfortable here!

Very comfortable place, the location was close to popular streets with many local places where to have breakfast. The receptionists were really fun and kind, gave us all kinds of recommendations for local indonesian food (which we loved) and helped us arrange a motorbike.

Grab and Gojek finds it hard to find the place and we need to walk in

The place is very clean and organized. Kitchen is fully stocked and ready.

Stayed in July 2025

The bathroom could have done with a bit of an update but I think for the price, it was as expected.

The communal areas. I don’t think the photos do it justice. The staff were super helpful, in fact we were about to book a car to boroboudor and they stopped us and said you had to book tickets to the temple the day before- a near miss!

Stayed in July 2025

We loved it as a family. It’s a hostel so don’t expect fancy room facilities- but it’s clean and has what you need and the property is clearly cared for.

It is a fantastic location and the communal facilities are just great. The kitchen and pool area are exceptional. It was such a great experience to have a place to hang out with other travellers, and have breakfast together. It’s a beautiful vibe and absolutely lovely staff.

The bathroom had a bit of a smell, but was clean!

Great advices from Saturday! His recommendations were useful for our entire trip!

Stayed in April 2025

There were bedbugs in our room. The bathroom smells bad, I think there is due to how they pipe the baths in the country, it is not a thing of this hostel only.

The workers were fine and the pool cool.

Staff was really nice! Comfy bed, pretty clean! Great pool and neighborhood, with bars. Really nice :)

Stayed in March 2025

Maybe they can add bedsheets.

Since the first moment when I arrive they tried to help me with everything, they are super kind. The hostel was clean and the swimming pool is perfect for the weather in Yogyakarta.

Dorm a bit too tight for luggages and moving around

Well located, beautiful common areas (pool, rest area and kitchen) the dorm was small and we had a AC fight but at least there was AC. Locker big enough for a small backpack

The location is great, next to Jl. Prawirotaman where you can find a lot of places to eat and drink. The swimming pool is great to cool down after a hot day and the staff is super friendly - they want to help you with anything. We highly recommend this hostel!

At night you hear the loud music of the mosque so earplugs are recommended.

The breakfast was good and the swimming pool was amazing to refresh. We really liked the neighborhood with the little bars with live music and overall atmosphere.

Bed can be more comfortable

Organized, clean, quite

The A/C could have been stronger. We stayed in the family room and it was comfortable but I would have liked to make it cooler, the unit was just not capable of it.

The staff was super friendly and helpful. They helped us arrange transport to/from airport and gave us a ton of helpful info! They have a little welcome packet that even points out all the best ways to get to the sights and most recommended food spots around town, this was much appreciated. Also appreciated, we arrived before check in and they let us change and use the pool for a couple hours. We were welcomed with a smile every time.

The aircon in my room wasn't super strong, but it worked well enough to keep me cool at night (and I run hot). however, the room did stay cool even with the aircon off. The shower water pressure wasn't great and the WiFi was a bit patchy in the rooms.

Amazing stay at Otu. The location is great, a few minutes from the main Backpacker street with restaurants and cafes. The common areas of the hostel are really nice - the pool is beautiful and clean, and there is comfy seating. There's also a well stocked communal kitchen. The staff were amazingly friendly and helpful. The rooms are basic but have what you need and the beds were comfy.

Stayed in September 2024

Most taxi, grabcar or big vans won't enter the small alleyway that leads from the main road to this hostel. Have to walk about 6-7 minutes from main road. An issue if you are carrying big luggages. Maybe call up the hostel for some assistance

I love the staff. Friendly and helpful. Hostel assisted to keep my luggage while I was traveling to other parts of Java. The hostel staff also values my return and multiple stays at Otu, they accomodated to my requests. Other things I love about this hostel apart from the staff is the clean swimming pool. If you stay for one night, you cannot see the value of these things. Few nights to one week stay and then you will see that the hostel has the perfect balance of giving you some peace of mind, good service & good location. can't do your own quick clothing washes anymore as there is no more place to hang your wet clothes, but not an issue. Just opt for Indonesia's cheap laundry services

Nothing

Hosts are reality nice. The place is clean and in a nice area to go out in the evening.

Stayed in August 2024

Maybe the light in the room, only one main cold light. Maybe a reading light close to beds may help. And a set of 2 shower towels instead of one.

Elvira was a great host. The room was comfy and the patio and services provides amazing. Beds were comfy and wifi worked very fast. Close to a road with shops and restaurants.
