This place is awesome - the rooms are clean, fresh and thoughtfully decorated. It's got a perfect location in a quiet, but popular, alleyway - 2 minutes from the train station and 2 minutes from Yogya's main road. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the owner (a local artist) has painted the entire place to make it look... More

Very good quality price ratio. Located in the heart of Jogja, it allows you to feel the city. Staff was friendly and helpfull. TV, free tea and coffee was available in common rooms, as well as internet stations. All rooms and common rooms display arts created by the owner. The common rooms are a place to meet with the owner,... More

The place has all the amenities you hope for in a hostel, but I don't got weird vibes and shady service from all the men that worked at night. The morning people are pleasant and helpful, but the night shift people and so creepy and shady. Also, there is a conspiracy and inside going-on's with the tour prices. They say... More

We stayed 4 nights in this nice beautiful losmen in both the deluxe room and the economy room. both rooms were perfectly clean, beautifully decorated and comfortable.The staff was friendly and helpful. it's probably the best accomodation you can get for this budget (around 200.000 Rp) in Yogya. Very much recommended

my wife and i stayed at Setia Kawan for 3 nights and we had a "deluxe" room with AC. the room is miniscule (about 3x4.5 meteres), no cupboard, no sheets (just a cloth). although the room had AC and a fan, the owner and his friends would at night sit in the little lobby and smoke cigarette after cigarette. because...

We turned up at midnight from our taxi and unfortunately Setia Kawan were fully booked so we had to stay somewhere else for the first night. The night manager was really helpful telling us where to go at that time of night! We came back and checked in the next day to a gorgeous arty double room with private bathroom.... More

My friend and I really enjoyed staying in Setia Kawan. The staff are fantastic, eager to give help and advice if needed. The rooms are quite small so be aware, but the atmosphere of the hostel makes up for it..... run by an artist and the place is decorated in beautiful murals, paintings, sculptures, etc. They also do a really...
