Stayed in October 2021

1) In my room there were only two power plugs, one for a table lamp and another one for TV. So I had to plug off TV to charge my gadgets. 2) Some bad smell used to come in bathroom when using toilet flush. 3) No resto near rooms, so no option for dinner room service.

I had a good relaxing stay here. The property isn't all new, but it's maintained clean and all staff was very polite and friendly, it feels they really care and strive to provide nice experience to the guest. I was very happy to get complimentary Sunset ticket pass along with Sunrise ticket. Each ticket costs around 600000 idr, so it was a great value for money. My room was in a good condition, a nice garden area to relax outside. There were plenty of towels, bed was comfortable and bed sheets were clean. A/C worked, hot water was in the shower all the time. The rooms were located in 5 mins drive from reception, restaurant and temple entrance, but car was all the time available for me. Restaurant was clean with nice sitting area, food is very basic though, but still ok for one night stay, vegetarian choice was available. Overall, it's a good choice to stay if you want to live near Stupa and spend plenty visiting there. If you just want to visit briefly, you can stay outside. Sunrise and Sunset visits are must in my opinion, there's very spectacular view and less crowd. Day time is full of local school kids.

Because this is a UNESCO site, there are no supermarkets nearby, and the hotel sells only cold drinks and t-shirts. The resort itself provides most things you might need, but the lack of shopping facilities for daily necessities you might not have brought with you is a minor inconvenience.

First and foremost, the location — it was exceptional. Although the resort is a rather sprawling one, the nearest entrance to the magnificent temple is just a few minutes’ walk away from reception. For Manohara guests, there are no entrance fees to be paid, which was a nice bonus. As for our room, it was quite a distance away from reception — too far to walk — but transport was provided (free of charge, of course) and we never had to wait more than a minute or two to get it. The staff were first class — always polite, friendly, and helpful. The restaurant served great food and was good value for money.

The restaurant was a bit lack lustre.

A great place to see Borrubudur

Except for issues with our aircon which was addressed later on none really.

Great location as it was just a short walk to the whole complex and can go back multiple time (Borobudur ticket is included in the package including sunrise and sunset plus breakfast and dinner). Our room was on a hill and overlooking the top of temple. Great view! We’d also like to commend the staff who were very friendly and helpful.

Basic room, and now they have some rooms on the hill, it was no good for us to walk up n down the hill to get to the room as I have height phobia and weak knees.

The location being inside Borobudur is excellent meaning no need transport n can wake up a bit later in comparison to others that stay elsewhere. the staff are super helpful n friendly.

Partition between bed and tv ...have to sit on couch to watch TV. If not your looking at plastic! No snacks in room or to buy...at all. Seeing poor Elephants chained up standing on concrete. Can’t walk it’s beyond a horror show! So disgusting and evil! Someone help them...move them to a proper sanctuary.

Staff very friendly and efficient.Easy to see Temple. Transportation fast and simple. Good hotel.

If your aim is for Bororbudur this hotel is the place. Walking distance in and out for Sunrise and Sunset. The ticket is inclusive which I believe 470,000 IDR (Dec 2019) The price also include dinner so basically a room, breakfast, ticket to Sunrise / Sunset and dinner are covered. The room is spacious but like old resort style. Cleanliness is ok - clean bedsheet and pillow but bathroom a bit sticky on the floor. Very helpful and friendly staff. Actually if u come late afternoon and go for sunset then 4.30am in the morning for sunrise you are all covered and only one night stay is ok. Two nights give a bit much free time coz dont have much to do and food then repetitive (maybe low season and less guests so breakfast and dinner many menus I can see from morning). But overall stay is ok to good.

inclusive tickets to Borobudur

The walls of our room were a bit dirty - scratched and clearly a few smooshed bugs - but nothing that off putting. Our porch, which would have been nice to use, looked into bus parking and there was a major conference the two days we were there so it went unused. But our purpose was access to Borobudur and the park/museums and it excelled in those ways.

Access to Borobudur was the key selling point and it delivered. Our room came with two days of access to the monument/park as well as sunrise atop the temple (including a ride from the hotel to the entry gate). The rooms were simple but certainly adequate and although some of the furnishings were dated the furniture was comfortable. When we asked about weather, at check in, they were kind enough to give us lightweight ponchos (which luckily we did not need). The tea was another unexpected treat - unlike many hotels there was a large window of when we could have tea and a snack that we were able to best adapt to our schedule. Our room was also ready before check in. If you want to visit Borobudur twice - and we did so in the late afternoon and again for sunrise - it is worth staying at the Manohara.
