A/C is facing the heads while sleeping and a slight damp smell. But after a while in the room the smell goes away. Not really room to place a bag/suitcase.

Very friendly staff, superb breakfast and service and very nice rooms. Everything clean. Beautiful outdoor area.

I loved the room setup and bathroom, the charming courtyard, and the location. It was less than a 1/2 hour walk to the Kraton. Vredeburg Fort Museum, and Malioboro Street. The breakfast was decent, and they made breakfast to go if you were out early on a tour. Check in and out was a breeze.

I was by myself and the Grab/Bluebird app kept leading the driver to a different alley than the alley where Sastro Place is based. At night, this means you’ll have to walk through a few dark alleys to get to Sastro Place. However, I’ve never had any issues and people in the neightbourhood were actually really helpful with helping me find Sastro Place 🙏

I’ve really enjoyed staying at this pretty accommodation, runned by a very kind family. Good communication via Whatsapp, the breakfast is great and although the room is basic - it is equiped with the things you need for a short stay in Yogyakarta.

The curtains do not cover all the windows, so lights in front of the room are not blocked (I slept with a mask, so it was fine, but it would be useful to be able to switch off the lights when you go to bed or have curtains covering the small windows). There is only one kind of soap provided in the shower, no shampoo.

Good location with the city centre (palace/ shopping mall) in walking distance (30min). The staff is very friendly with good contact via WhatsApp. Nice breakfast with fixed options in a changing menu. Very good value for the price!

It's a long/awkward walk down a tiny alleyway to reach the place, not the easiest with heavy suitcases. They only gave us a small thin blanket for the bed so I woke up feeling very cold (can't turn the AC off otherwise I get eaten alive by mosquitoes and it also gets too humid, we tried!). I did request an extra blanket and they provided one which helped. Not much room to put the suitcases so it made the room feel quite small.

We loved our stay at Sastro Place! The staff was super friendly, the room was lovely, everything was decorated amazingly giving a very instagramable vibe! The included breakfast in the morning is a nice touch.

Not much at all. We only suggested to maybe add an Indonesian course on the breakfast menu. But the pancakes are nice too.

The staff is so nice ! We forgot part of our luggage and the staff was able to make a shipping arrangement for us and got our things mailed to another hotel further on our trip! Amazing ! The laundry service is also very nice to have at your doorstep.

The homestay was really unique. The rooms were really clean. The pool in the front was a refreshing way to cool down during the day. The property was a short grab from many central locations. The staff were amazing! They really went above and beyond at every step. Their communication was great throughout. They even offered to pack us a breakfast to go on mornings we had early starts with tours etc,.

Extremly friendly staff and in a quiet small street, so quiet at night. Very good breakfast and good to relax after a walk through the busy city in the small pool. Street might look dodgey at night but is not. Not directly in the city center but easy to go with a grab. Would highly recommend!

What a lovely place! Beautiful little pool in a gorgeous garden, clean, with everything you need, good service, and a nice takeaway breakfast for when you head out. The only downside is the mosque that wakes you up around 4:45 AM despite using wax earplugs — it lasts about 10 minutes, but that’s common everywhere in Yogyakarta. The location is 12 minutes from Malioboro by Grab, in a cozy side street. The cameras and gate also make you feel safe.

We really liked our stay at Sastro Place. The apartment is very cozy and the jacuzzi is very nice to cool down after a hot tropical day! The staff is super nice and helpful, they prepared us a great breakfast each morning.

The lady at the breakfast is supernice, only the portions could be slightly bigger.

Smooth commutation with the owner and easy check in. Small pool in the garden and the accommodation is well designed.

We encountered some ants on our blankets, so we decided to remove them from the room for the night. The air conditioning worked fine, but due to the small size of the room, it cooled down very quickly. However, once the AC was turned off, the room became hot and humid. Perhaps with the blankets, it would have been more comfortable. The biggest challenge we faced was the early morning prayer at 4 a.m., which was extremely loud and lasted quite a while (the last one we heard ended about 40 minutes later). While this is likely the case for most city center locations, it can be difficult to sleep through if you’re not accustomed to it. Even earplugs might not block out the sound entirely. It’s something to consider if you’re sensitive to noise or value uninterrupted sleep.

A lovely and cozy place with a thoughtfully designed room that makes great use of the small space. The pool area looked inviting, even though we didn’t get the chance to use it during our stay. The staff were exceptionally kind and accommodating. As we had to leave early before breakfast, they went the extra mile to prepare a takeaway meal for us. A great touch of hospitality!

We had a amazing stay at Sastro Place! Nice rooms, we felt at home. The owner send us messages with recommendations and informations about yogja. We would come again!

Pool was more of a hot tub, only the jets didnt work! Still nice to chill in after a long day. Never actually met the staff, friendly shopkeepers next door are main contacts, but the owner was very responsive on Whatsapp, would have been nice to meet face to face tho.

Location a little weird, down a narrow alley not accessible by car but only 2 mins walk max from the main road. Can walk to Malioboro in about 10 or 15 mins. Room was great, nice bathroom and comfy bed.

Close to the city centre, 15 minutes walk distance to Malioboro shopping street, to the Sonobudoyo museum. The accommodation is very beautiful, clean and nice staff. Free drink water, tea and coffee.
