1001 Malam

Top choice in Yogyakarta


A beautiful Moroccan-style hotel, a short stroll from Jl Malioboro, complete with hand-carved wooden doorways and a delightful Moorish courtyard bristling with lipstick palms (with red trunks) and trailing vines. The rooms are quite plain compared to the flourish of the common areas, but they are comfortable enough and livened up with murals on the walls. Low season brings 50% discounts.
