I stayed in Mataram Hotel for 5 days and 4 nights during my stays in Yogyakarta. I booked this hotel together with flight using AirAsiaGo website. It is a 3 star hotel located in Pasar Kembang Street. There is another branch of this hotel known as Mataram Hotel Malioboro 2 which located not so far from this hotel. My first impression when I arrived at this hotel was it is easy to find and has antique furniture.
We booked a family room which has 1 double bed and 1 single bed. It has a TV on a cupboard (for cloths and storage), make up desk, 3 plug points together with one 2 pins plug adapter, sink outside the bathroom with dental kits and a private bathroom with shower together with body gel and shampoo. The room size for me is reasonable for it price (RM38/night ~ IDR 116,000/night). Some might consider it quite small. The room was clean and beds were comfortable. They also provide towels and slippers. They have room service everyday where they change the towel and dental kits.
With this price I paid, breakfast is included. What I find interesting is that, the breakfast order was taken earlier the night before and will be sent to my room at my chosen time (starts at 6am until 9/10am). Choice of breakfast is quite limited (5 options of food and 2 options for drinks). The food was acceptable. I tasted their nasi goreng/ fried rice, mee rebus/noodle soup (actually an instant chicken noodle), toast bread with strawberry jam and boiled egg. Portion and taste wise were OK. No extra points.
In term of location, it is directly opposite to Tugu Train Station which you can use to travel out of Yogyakarta to other cities of Indonesia. You can hear the sound from the train station from your room. Some people find it disturbing to sleep. For me, I was OK. It is only 10 min walking distance to Malioboro Street, famous shopping street. If you not prefer to walk, there are a lot of taxi and tricycle in front of the hotel, I personally prefer Uber due to it cheaper price. But some Uber driver may refuse to pick you up/ drop you out directly at the hotel due to it location near to the train station. FYI, Uber driver is not allow to enter the airport and train/bus station areas.
Overall, this hotel does provide basic facilities at cheap price. My rating is as below (out of 5):
