Surakarta Hotels with Gym

The hotel is large. It feels like a 5-star hotel from the 1990s, a prime example of this area. It's a great place to reminisce. It has a traditional Javanese feel, and the hotel building is spacious, making it perfect for exploring leisurely. The pool is noticeably larger than other hotels. A leisurely stroll in the evening will evoke the atmosphere of a small Indonesian town. The staff are incredibly friendly. All the hotel staff, including the female employees, are smiling brightly and offering genuine assistance.

Honest review.. stay with the expectation of a 5-star hotel, but the experience is not comparable to the price. The lobby and check-in process are quite good, the welcome drink is refreshing, and the concierge helpfully carried the luggage. Basement parking is also relatively easy. Unfortunately, many important details reduce comfort. The door of the room does not have a stopper so it is often slammed loud and noisy. Soundproofing was not good, the sound from the next room was still heard. The room size is relatively small for the standard 5-star, and there is no minibar at all, even a paid one. For mineral water, use plastic bottles, not the premium ones with glass bottles. The lighting system was confusing and the bathroom lighting was too dim. There are 4 elevators but it is very slow.. there is often a buildup of guests. The pool area is also less well-organized such as having no concept and not weather-friendly because there is no shaded area. It's ridiculous, having to pay an extra 200rb for access to the whirlpool and jacuzzi. Breakfast was a disappointment: the menu options were less varied, the taste was standard, and the service was less warm (officers lacked smiles). Overall, I wouldn't really mind these things if the room price wasn't this muc, but with a rate above Rp 2 million per night, this experience is less worth it. Compared to 5-star hotels in Jogja and its surroundings, it is still quite far behind.

The room was very spacious for its class, and the location was strategic. The shower in the bathroom was a bit broken yesterday. Hot water was scarce in the morning. The playground was large and kept the kids entertained.

Perfectly located with old-world charm! The Royal Surakarta Heritage wins big on location—right in the heart of Solo, steps from shopping, dining, and cultural spots. The breakfast spread is fantastic: authentic Javanese dishes alongside international favorites, all fresh and flavorful. But the real star is the staff—incredibly helpful, always smiling, and quick to assist with anything; from coffee at breakfast to extra towels and water for the room. Rooms are clean and comfortable, though a bit classic in style (which fits the heritage vibe). Grab around town to almost anywhere is around INR20K. If you want convenience, great food, and warm service without the fuss, this is your spot.

Solo City is a small city, close to everywhere. 15 minutes to Balapan Train Station. I stay here because of well known Ibis hotel standard and I have to take a train from Balapan Train Station.

We had a wonderful stay at Mercure Hotel Solo. The breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of choices, so there was something for everyone. We especially loved the kids’ food corner, which offered fun options like donuts, sandwiches, and pizza. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. Their hospitality really made us feel at home. The swimming pool is another highlight, as it’s open until 8:00 PM, giving families plenty of time to relax after a day of sightseeing. Overall, Mercure Hotel Solo is an excellent choice for families. Great food, clean rooms, outstanding service, and family-friendly facilities made our stay very enjoyable. We would happily stay here again!
