Unbelievable Yogyakarta Stay: Ndalem Suryo Saptono Room Bima's Hidden Gem!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the tea (and maybe a bit of Indonesian coffee) on my experience at the Unbelievable Yogyakarta Stay: Ndalem Suryo Saptono, Room Bima's Hidden Gem! – let's call it Ndalem Suryo Saptono, because honestly, that's a mouthful. I'm a travel writer (a glamorous job, I know… mostly involves staring at a laptop and pretending I’m Hemingway), and this place… well, it hit me in the feels.
First off, SEO, baby! Let's throw some keywords in there, yeah? Yogyakarta hotels, Jogja accommodation, luxury stay Yogyakarta, accessible hotel Jogja, Ndalem Suryo Saptono review, Room Bima review, Yogyakarta spa, Yogyakarta romantic getaway, family-friendly hotel Jogja. Okay, good, now we're set up for success.
Okay, so, Accessibility. Right off the bat, I'm not entirely sure about the dedicated accessibility features. There's an elevator, which helps (thank GOODNESS, my knees are getting creaky), but I didn't notice specific ramp access everywhere. Check with the hotel directly if you need hardcore wheelchair accessibility – don't quote me on this one, please!
But… the vibe? Oh, the vibe! Seriously, it's what makes this place special. You roll up, and it’s like stepping into a Javanese fairy tale. The architecture is stunning. I mean, seriously, Google images do NOT do it justice. It’s a traditional Javanese house, all dark wood and intricate carvings… It’s romantic without being cheesy. You know? Like… elegant.
And Room Bima? That's where the magic truly happened. Picture this: massive, four-poster bed (bonus!), those blackout curtains are a life-saver for sleeping past dawn, oh and the air conditioning is perfect here after a long day. I was so tired from sightseeing, which I'll get to, so the little touches are there and the bathrobes and slippers hit HARD. I just… melted. I swear, I could have stayed in that bed all day. Which, let's be honest, I almost did.
Cleanliness and Safety – Now, post-pandemic, this is crucial. And Ndalem Suryo Saptono nails it. I saw hand sanitizer everywhere, staff wearing masks and the rooms are sanitized. They’ve got anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection… It's clear they take this seriously. They also offer room sanitization opt-out which is great if you're sensitive to the smell. I felt safe. And let’s be honest, in a whirlwind trip like mine, that peace of mind is worth its weight in gold. First aid kit at the front desk. Smoke alarms and fire extinguishers – important stuff, my friends.
Dining, Drinking and Snacking. This is where things get… deliciously complicated. The Asian breakfast is a MUST. They bring it to your room! Imagine waking up, opening your eyes, and… BAM! Nasi Goreng, fresh fruit, the works! I'm not usually a morning person, but I found myself practically leaping out of bed for breakfast. They also offered a Western breakfast (for the less adventurous souls), but trust me, embrace the local flavors. There's also a restaurant, coffee shop, and snack bar on site. I'm not sure if there's a poolside bar…hmm. I'm not sure I went to the bar at all, after all.
And the Happy Hour! I remember one particular afternoon, after a gruelling morning conquering the temples of Borobudur and Prambanan, coming back to the hotel and just chilling in the terrace with a drink. The air, the sounds of Yogyakarta, the view… bliss. Oh! and they offered bottle of water, too!
Okay, I’ll admit it… the food was generally great! I also saw a vegetarian restaurant option on the menu. And they offer room service [24-hour]. So, if you're like me and have late-night snack cravings, you're golden like the temples.
Things to do / Ways to Relax. This is where Ndalem Suryo Saptono really shines. Yogyakarta is a culture bomb, but you NEED to find time for self-care. I did the spa. Oh. My. God. Massage, Body scrub, Body wrap… I walked in a weary travel writer, and floated out a… well, a considerably less weary one. The massage was heavenly. Seriously, I'm pretty sure I turned into a puddle of bliss. The Spa/sauna and steamroom are nice additions to the spa, too.
They have a swimming pool (outdoor), and it offers a Pool with view. Fitness center / Gym/fitness - I didn’t get a chance to use them. I just wanted to relax and take it easy, so I can't attest to whether the equipment is up to snuff, but it gives you the option.
Let me be honest, though, I was on a mission - sightseeing. I spent most of my time out and about. Bicycle parking, Car park [free of charge], Taxi service, and Airport transfer are also offered. This hotel is also really helpful.
Services and Conveniences – They have concierge services, daily housekeeping, and laundry service. Seriously, they’ve thought of everything. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. There are Facilities for disabled guests. They have currency exchange too.
For the kids - They offer Babysitting service, so it's a Family/child friendly.
In the Room – Okay, let's dive deep into what’s in the room, shall we? Air conditioning (essential in Jogja!), an alarm clock (thank goodness, considering my sleep schedule), bathrobes, complimentary tea and coffee maker, free bottled water, hair dryer, in-room safe box (always handy), a mini bar (for those sneaky evening treats), an on-demand movies service, a private bathroom, a reading light, a refrigerator, satellite/cable channels, a seating area (perfect for planning your next adventure), separate shower/bathtub, slippers (did I mention I love slippers?), a smoke detector, a telephone, toiletries, towels, wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], window that opens. I mean, they’ve genuinely thought of everything. I also loved the desk, where I could sit and write my heart out.
Okay, let’s get to the real nitty gritty. I DID have a minor issue. There was one afternoon that I was trying to write and the Wi-Fi was a bit… patchy. Seriously, and in the digital age that's a nightmare. But when I mentioned it to the front desk, they immediately sorted it out. Instant Wi-Fi connection, which proves it has Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!. So, all good in the neighborhood.

Crete's BEST Kept Secret: Antonios Hotel Apartments!
Okay, buckle up buttercups! This itinerary isn't just a list, it's a vibe. We're diving headfirst into the glorious chaos that is Ndalem Suryo Saptono Room Bima in Yogyakarta. Prepare for the real deal, with all the messy, wonderful, and occasionally sleep-deprived glory.
Yogyakarta: Room Bima - The Crucible of Adventure (and Maybe a Nap?)
Day 1: Arrival & Sensory Overload (aka “Where Did I Leave My Brain?”)
- Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Landing in Yogyakarta. Ugh, budget airlines. Let's just say my "carry-on" now resembled a small, disgruntled hedgehog. Straight from the airport, a Grab (because, duh, I'm not walking in this heat) to Ndalem Suryo Saptono. The driver, bless his heart, probably thought I was insane, babbling to myself about cultural immersion and whether or not I needed another layer of sunscreen.
- First Impression: The gate of the hotel and its gardens are stunning. I was practically drooling over the architecture. We get to Room Bima, which is… big. Like, seriously, could probably host a small dance party in here. The bed looks incredibly inviting.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Lunch at a local Warung. Found one. Finally. It was a warung near the hotel. The Gudeg was incredible. Sweet, savory… I actually might have moaned. I have no shame. (I ate a second helping). Stroll (more like a shuffle in the humidity) through the nearby neighborhood. The smells… oh my god, the smells. Incense, exhaust fumes, something deliciously fried, and maybe a hint of something…unidentified? I hope it was just spice. The heat is brutal. I'm sweating in places I didn't know could sweat. Took an accidental wrong turn and ended up in what I think was a chicken market. Live chickens. A lot of them. Moving on…
- Flaw: Got lost. Twice. Google Maps is a liar. A beautiful, confusing liar.
- Evening (5:00 PM - 9:00 PM): Sunset at Candi Ratu Boko. Found a bemo (local minibus). Thought I was going to die when it came to a halt and our driver had a brief, passionate argument with a fellow driver. Sunsets are pretty. But the entire experience of the transport to the temple was…wild. Dinner at a restaurant near the temple. The view was spectacular. My camera roll is now 500 pictures of a sunset most people don't see. I want to frame them all. Absolutely.
Day 2: Temples, Tuktuks, and Tiny Terrors (aka "My Legs are Screaming")
- Morning (7:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Sunrise at Borobudur Temple. Okay, this was something. The sheer scale of the place is humbling and that, is an understatement. The crowds are less humbling. Managed to snag a decent photo before getting flattened by a gaggle of Instagrammers. Coffee, because, survival. The beauty of those stone carvings, man. It's enough to make you weep… or at least take a really long pause.
- Observation: The temple cats are adorable. They also seem to have a higher social standing than the tourists. Respect.
- Impression: I am so glad I did this. It's a pilgrimage. It's a vibe.
- Lunch (12:00 PM - 2:00 PM): Lunch near the hotel. Tried to order something that wasn't "nasi goreng". Failed. Nasi goreng is life.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM - 6:00 PM): Prambanan Temple. I took a Tuktuk. The driver was a character. He told stories and tried to bargain. Which, of course, was awesome. Prambanan is also beautiful, different from Borobudur. More delicate. More… romantic? Maybe it's the heat. It's always the heat.
- Annoyance: The relentless vendors. "Madam, buy a scarf!" "Sir, maybe a hat?" I just want to look at the stones! I'm so tired, and I'm too kind to be actively rude.
- Evening (6:00 PM - Onward): The real test for the adventurous tourist. Dinner at a warung near the hotel, followed by a massage that involved a great deal of slapping (seriously, that was a new one). Currently, I'm staring at my laptop, making plans to sleep for 12 hours… or at least until my stomach starts yelling.
Day 3: Batik Blues & the Long Goodbye (aka "Did I Actually Leave?")
- Morning (9:00 AM - 1:00 PM): Batik class! I'm no artist, but I love the way it looks! (This will likely hang in my hallway forever, and everyone will ask what it is.) The process is fascinating. The wax is hot, the dye smells amazing. It turns out, drawing with hot wax is surprisingly difficult. My batik is…unique. It will be my masterpiece.
- Rambling: Spent an hour trying to perfectly replicate a pattern, and I was going insane. The man next to me was making a masterpiece. I was sitting there, sweating and making blobs of wax.
- Lunch (1:00 PM - 2:00 PM): A final nasi goreng at the warung down the street. The owner remembered my order! I feel like a local! Now I have to go and say goodbye.
- Afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Last stroll through the back streets, picking up some souvenirs (mostly because I felt guilty not buying anything). I'm overwhelmed. I might have bought too much. Got lost. Again.
- Reflection: Yogyakarta is a whirlwind. It's beautiful. It's complicated. It's sweaty. It’s a real kick in the pants!
- Evening (4:00 PM - Onward): Head back to the airport. My soul is both refreshed and slightly exhausted. I'm secretly already planning my return.
- Final Thought: Room Bima, you were a haven. Yogyakarta, you’re a wild ride… can’t wait to do it again.
