Convinient hotel with good vibe and facility. Location is also strategic

We booked a tour of Indonesia through Turquoise Holidays who suggested, and arranged, a fantastic itinerary for us. The first stop on our tour was the MesaStila. We were picked up at Yogyakarta airport by our Destination Asia guides (arranged through Turquoise) and it was a couple of hours drive north to the hotel (the traffic was extremely busy!) The hotel is set in a fairly remote jungle area north of Magelang and has fantastic views of the nearby volcanoes and jungle. We were welcomed at the Club House with a cold drink and told about all the facilities on offer. There is a spa and gym (and even an outdoor “jungle gym”) a restaurant, sunset lounge bar, tennis courts. There are complimentary activities including yoga, a tour of their own coffee plantation, batik, Javanese dance and a guided village walk. The villas are set in large grounds on the side of the hill and are all very private with stunning views. Our agent at Turquoise had mentioned that we were celebrating our 30th anniversary and we were upgraded to an Arum villa. Staff had also prepared a lovely cake for us! The villa was very spacious and had a large “double bath” as well as double sinks and a shower. We had a covered terrace with a view of the volcanoes and an indoor dining area. Each day we had breakfast at their Java Red restaurant which included western as well as Indonesian specialities. They also served a “shot” of jamu (an Indonesian health drink) with a range to choose from – very interesting!! We went on day trips to the Borobudur and Prambanan temples (with Destination Asia) which are both withing striking distance. We also enjoyed a tour of the hotels coffee plantation, saw how they process and roast the coffee they harvest and had a taste in their coffee shop. We bought some beans to bring home. We even managed some pool time when the weather allowed. Dinner was a mix of western and Indonesian food with amazing cocktails (Java Spice was my favourite) and some decent wines. All the food was excellent. The staff were all extremely helpful and friendly. It was quite quiet at the hotel (we only saw two or three other couples) but this gave it a peaceful and relaxing vibe. A great place to stay and explore central Java.

Comfortable, but in the morning housekeeping was a bit annoying because they wanted to clean the room I was still in

Been staying here a few times during the pandemic. Now that we're looking for a long-time stay, we had asked for a quotation (multiple times) to the appointed personnel: the gentleman from Sales and some ladies from FO, who both only giving a false hope and not doing their job to at least give a rough quotation. They also don't have synchronized answer regarding the health protocols and requirements we need to bring to the hotel. I must say that the security, housekeeping and waitress from the restaurant are doing terrific job; such an unfortunate that those who sits behind the desk are not being empathetic and accommodating at all. P.S. The hotel needs to be more strict with the wearing the mask policy outside the room since we've witnessed there are plenty of guest who's just mask-free every time they're out. Put more a mandatory sign to wear a mask throughout the property please. Not only in the lobby.

the shower,the water is cold all right and left,can't get slippers

It's quite cheap for a family type room. It's only 300 thousand a day, including breakfast for 3 people. Unfortunately, breakfast is delivered to the room and there is no menu choice. The room and bathroom are quite clean. But the pool water is not clean and there is no warm water to rinse.

I hope my review can avoid anyone to be in this bad place. When I arrived it was early for check-in, I decided to book the lava tour via the hotel (a waste of time and money). Towards the end of the tour, the jeep driver, a young boy, made very heavy comments. I returned to the hotel and made this point known to a man in the reception, who started laughing at me and told the colleagues who reacted with a fragrant laugh. The morning afterwards I made a witness to a woman at the reception that I had to take my clothes to wash because the water of the air conditioner was dropped on the clothes and washing them, and I made it clear that it seemed correct to be paid back. Magically, the girl no longer understands English. I told her too what happened the day before during the lava tour and what was the reaction of colleagues ... but also in this case the English.. forgotten. The place in general is a big barrack. The staff is incapable and without a minimum of professionalism. There are several coffee but all closed or without products. It should be a hotel for business people ...but always really a noisy, dirty and bad circus. The lack of respect for me was the worst and it was really a bad experience, and I would not recommend this place to women, but generally to all those who have a minimum of respect and consideration for the next.
