Right in the thick of the action just a short walk from the railway station (15 mins from the airport) and Malioboro street is the Istana Batik Ratna Hotel, Javanese themed accommodation in the heart of Jogja decorated with heavy carved furniture and antiques. The Istana Hotel has 28 rooms, simple but clean and pleasantly decorated.
For dining is the Joglo Restaurant, housed in a beautifully decorated antique Javanese dining hall, which serves reasonably priced Indonesian, Oriental and European dishes. The large Tirta Ratna swimming pool is also available. Budget prices start from $18 per night. Reserve a room.
Istana Batik Ratna Hotel is at Jalan Pasar Kembang 29 in Yogyakarta.{wpregooglemap}
