Hotel Airlangga is a classic budget hotel right in the heart of what has come to be known as Yogyakarta's "International Village" Prawirotaman. This perennial favorite among backpackers offers traditional Javanese ambiance-air pavilion architecture and gardens. Not a modern glass-and-elevator hotel but more nearly a large, sprawling guesthouse or 'losmen,' low rise; it primarily appeals to backpackers and those couples on budgets who are travelers valuing character over chic contemporary luxury besides location. It acts as an informal social hub for people sitting around the pool exchanging travel stories between moments spent exploring Java's cultural heart - perfect if you're looking to meet other travelers.

Quick Look - Hotel Airlangga


  • The location is probably the best in town for tourists, right on Jalan Prawirotaman, among the top cafes and bars and tour agencies in Jogja.
  • There is a big outdoor swimming pool right at the center of the property. That is an amenity both rare and great for a budget hotel within this price range.
  • The place is cool and friendly. The garden makes it look green and cool while at the same time blocking out noise from the street in front.
  • This place seems to be one of those places where long-termers have found a good deal on a room, but that’s not really an issue because they’re all friendly anyway.
  • The staff here are used to dealing with international tourists. They’ll help you organize motorbike rental or book any tours you want to go on.
  • × The rooms are significantly dated, with old furniture, worn tiles, and lighting that can be quite dim.
  • × Cleanliness can be hit-or-miss depending on the room; expect some dust or signs of age in the corners and bathrooms.
  • × Soundproofing is poor due to the traditional architecture, so noise from the pool area or neighbors can be heard easily.
  • × The bathrooms are basic and old-fashioned. Sometimes there is only a mandi style tub. Mostly it is a weak shower with inconsistent hot water.
  • × Wi-Fi signal is mostly weak in the rooms, works best in the lobby or restaurant area.

Hotel Overview - Hotel Airlangga


  • Price vs Quality Value for money is outstanding; getting a room with a pool for this price is a steal.
  • Service Quality Service is friendly but laid-back; do not expect 24-hour concierge efficiency, but they get the job done.
  • Location Convenience The location suits the backpacker, with food and drink locations just steps away.
  • Neighborhood The area is vibrant and friendly to tourists. Art shops, gelato stands, and restaurants surround the place.
  • Overall Cleanliness It is averagely clean. It is "backpacker clean," hence tidied enough but not spotless.
  • Breakfast Experience Food on-site is basic (simple toast and fruit for breakfast), but the surrounding area has incredible dining options.
