Roemah Canting Homestay

The staff were friendly and the pool was a must have relief in the heat. Breakfast was very filling with it being homemade every morning and always had vegetables which for some reason we found difficult to find outside the homestay. The room was overall very clean and although the tv didn't work it didn't really matter because there was a tv in the lounge room downstairs that we could use. The location of the homestay is very good. A grab only costs 20 thousand rupiah almost anywhere in the city from the homestay. A suggestion is that you order grab food to the homestay if you want to try alot of foods but don't want to go out in the heat or to multiple places. The best dinners for us were ordered online as you can easily find the most popular restaurants without having to ask anyone. The staff were patient with the amount of different orders which I was very grateful for. Although you can easily go to a well air-conditioned hotel with a fancy restaurant nothing can beat the friendly staff and homely atmosphere of this homestay.

This is a wee haven just a short cab ride from the busy and exciting Maliboro St Also possible to walk if you enjoy the exercise. Great wee pool in the courtyard, scrupulously clean, as was the whole place. Friendly staff. Secure gate that was manned. Good food options close by. The room was clean and comfy with great aircon, comfy bed and quality bedding. We will stay again!

Everything and every corner was suuuuper squeaky clean! The bed was comfortable, and they have a wardrobe to put the suitcase in. Bedside charger electrical plugs in both sides of the bed. Towels were provided, one big and one small, all smelling wonderful and folded nicely in the form of a swan. They even gave hotel slippers and small toiletries. Hot water worked very good with great pressure. Car garage is spacious, it can house 4 cars. But the highlight of my stay was Mbok Is. She is so adorable, kind, meticulous, and always at-the-ready. A true gem. I tried to speak to her in Indonesian but she kept on replying in the most polite high-Javanese, which forced me to reply in the same language, practicing my rusty High-Javanese, otherwise i would be impolite. I stayed 2 nights, the first night I had to leave at 5.30am for my brother’s graduation ceremony. At 4.30am she already woke up and make sure I am well-fed. She made me buttered toast, coffee, fried egg, and melons. And when I finished she always ask if i want some more. The security man is adorable too. At the slightest sound I made going in and out of the house, he suddenly appeared out of nowhere to help opening the gate, asking you if you sleep well, congratulate me for my brother’s graduation. I would definitely come back! With what I paid, it’s worth every penny!

Breakfast was good, the fruit was nice and fresh. The staff were very friendly and helpful . I felt safe and enjoyed just being at the homestay. The street the honestly was on was good.

Our experience at Roemah Canting Homestay was quite pleasant. The rooms were clean and provided a comfortable stay. The staff was helpful. Overall, it was a good choice for accommodation in Yogyakarta.
