Hotels in Bibis

"Beautiful Javanese decor and surroundings, helpful staff. "

"Beautiful and interesting home with different areas and a little courtyard inside. Carvings and tiles. They had an old radio, record player etc. wonderful if you want to see an old Kotagede type house from the inside. There's a bookshop attached to the house and it has a good selection of books, including Indonesian books translates into English, a section on Javanese culture, and political books like Gramsci etc. Location is good near lots of nice restaurants, walkable to the Mataram makams, and you can also walk around and see some kampongs in the area and there's cute coffeeshops with very affordable single origin coffee pours (affordable compared to eg. Jakarta and Bandung). My room had a four poster bed. The vibe was that of staying in a old relative's house, including the furniture and lamp style, TV with no netflix (they have cable) that's turned off at the base, and one thing to note is the room had only one other plug point and it's high up on the wall so you have to sit on a chair when you use your phone if you're charging it. Aircon was good. Lots of towels. I had to leave very early for my flight the next day and they packed me a full breakfast, which was super nice of them."

"Nice place to get away from it all. No beach access, so the beach is an 'intereting ' trip back down the hill, and a challenging climb back home."
