On my previous trip to Yogjakarta, Indonesia I manage to stay 2 nights in Cakra Kusuma Hotel. It’s just right after my Bandung trip and after my Yogjakarta trip, I have to go Semarang, Indonesia. Once again, I travel through Air Asia from Jakarta to Yogjakarta. If not mistaken the journey took me almost 2 hours. For Asia trip, Air Asia is always my choice. Maybe one day I will have the opportunity to fly out of Asia by Air Asia.
The Cakra Kusuma Hotel is easy to spot from the main road. It's located in the heart of Yogjakarta, I feel it's really convenient for their guest since there have plenty food stall and even convenience shop just outside of the Hotel, Indomaret.
Usually when it comes to hotel, I prefer something more simple and everything under one roof. However, my colleague told me that my trip to Yogjakarta going to be very tiring since I have to shoot a lot of places for Indonesia travel magazines such as Candi Borobudur, Merapi Mount, etc (will blog about my journey on the next blog post) and Cakra Kasuma Hotel is just the perfect place to stay.
"Cakra Kusuma Hotel is conveniently situated in Yogyakarta’s main business district of Jalan Kaliurang and offers free wireless hotspots. It is within a 10-minute drive from Yogya Kembali Monument and Gembira Loka Zoo."
I reach early and I was welcomed with welcoming drink. They do have bells on their reception desk, sometime you have to “bell” them if you need any guidance.
Since I went to travel alone, I need to have my own transportation. I requested from the hotel to get me a motorcycle for rent. It was IDR60, 000 (RM17/USD5) per day. They do offer basic transportation such as cab.

My room at Cakra Kasuma Hotel. To be honest, it kinda big for me. I can even bring another 2 more people to join me on the bed. Everything is clean and nice weather. Just take note that you might want wear sock since it quite cold at night.
