Adhisthana Hotel: I always love discovering a great design hotel in a city that's also very affordable. At the Adhisthana Hotel, you'll immediately feel at home. You can relax in the courtyard near the lobby, but it's even better to unwind by the pool. The entire hotel is decorated with locally crafted items. Next time I'm in Yogyakarta, I'll definitely stay here for a few nights!
