This hotel needs some TLC regarding their upkeep and maintenance, all over. BUT. It's an amazing hotel with plenty of culture and art displayed and built into it. Rooms are spacey and feels homey.

Staff is amazing and breakfast is very good. Rooms can be cleaner - specially lamp sheds and toilet was leaking a bit. The main concern I had was contacting the property before arrival to arrange a shuttle from airport- called, tried chatting via whatsup but couldn’t get any help

This Royal Surakarta is overrated. The photos of the rooms i booked were totally different from the rooms i got. When you walk in the first thought is wow this is great, again the maintenance on the room was very little. The air-conditioning controller didn't work and the room temperature was bearly comfortable. I would not recommend this hotel.

The lobby and restaurant are decent, but everything in our (tiny) room was chipped, scratched, marked, broken or not functioning properly, including things like broken toilet seat, shower that didn’t drain, marks on ceiling and wall etc. The gym was dirty with machines that were rusted and broken.

Wouldn’t thought the 5 star hotel have poor amenities and cleanliness. The towel looks worn, poor bathroom lighting, stain in bathtub, the bed lamp is not function, the blanket dirty So we have to move to another room at around 2am.. Though The staff is very friendly and helpful We stay at 7th floor An advice would be a room renovation or before guests check in, there should be room inspection to check everything meet the 5star hotel requirements as I didn’t pay cheap to stay there

Stains in the bathroom . Really need to renovate ! Also I was able to ear everything people were saying in the other room. Not soundproof walls that s for sure . Not a MGALLERY collection as I have seen other places in the world . Should be rated 2 starts not more.

I was not satisfied with my recent stay of 3 nights at this hotel. Three serious complaints: 1 Upon check-in at 2:00 pm my room was not ready yet, and I had to wait more than an hour in the lobby before the room was ready. 2. For New Years Eve I decided to treat myself to a steak tenderloin dinner, the most expensive item on the menu. But what they served was a small and tough piece of steak, with lots of gristle that was definitely not steak tenderloin. 3. I suffered some serious wounds on my arm due to an extra mechanical lock that had been added to the door, and that had very sharp corners. The bleeding was serious because some skin was torn off. The hotel made a bandage for it initially, but it did not heal quickly so I subsequently went to a medical clinic in Bali for professional medical care that cost me 2,480,000 Rp total for the initial visit and a course of antibiotic medicine, and then a return visit to change the wound dressing. I had to keep wound dressings on for 8 days, which prevented other activities like swimming and a normal shower. The design of that lock was dangerous and the lock was not even necessary.

Fint hotel og store rom. Litt kjedelig frokost for en som ikke er fra Asia. Også måtte vi betale for 1 frokost fordi dem mente vi var 5 voksne og 3 barn, men når jeg bestilte så står det barn opp til 17 år og 4 personer var under 17. Det var ikke mye penger men litt irriterende. Så da ble det dessverre ett annet hotel når vi var i Solo 2 uker senere.
