Why it works for a stay in Yogyakarta

The Journey is close to Malioboro Street, the Kraton and the city's artisan markets, so most of central Jogja is within easy reach on foot or by becak.

Yogyakarta is known as a city of art and education, with galleries, street art and a creative cafe scene alongside its royal heritage. A modern, design-led hotel fits well for digital nomads and younger travellers exploring that side of the city.

Day trips are easy to arrange through reception, from the temples of Borobudur and Prambanan to jeep tours on the slopes of Mount Merapi, Java's most active volcano.

Merapi's lava tour jeeps run along the volcano's lower slopes, past villages rebuilt after the 2010 eruption and a small museum of household items preserved by the ash. Tours start early to catch clear views of the summit, and reception can help arrange a pick-up. Back in the city, the area around Prawirotaman has cafes and galleries for a relaxed evening.
