Wates Hotels with Wi-Fi

Located a very convenient 5 minutes courtesy shuttle ride from the new YIA airport but too far (1 hour on express train!) from Yogyakarta city. So a peaceful retreat for a quiet relaxing break or a simple overnight, preflight stopover. The hotel is still looking as brand new as it only opened one year ago! Public areas and facilities are all immaculate condition and clean. Smallish pool area on ground floor is obscured by the shadow of high rise tower so only gets the direct sunshine in the morning. There was no pool attendant on duty at the times of my visits, a bit worrisome as very young kids were left unsupervised and playing in the 1.7mtr deep pool - though it was evident to me that none of them could swim! Management please take note as this is an accident just waiting to happen...! Room was large, comfortably furnished with all the modern conveniences you could want or expect including an extensive 24-hours F&B room service menu. In-house laundry was very reasonably priced and efficiently quick. A pleasant outdoor terrace and indoors the rooftop bar/lounge with spacious seating and wrap around windows looking out at the countryside scenery. A live band was playing each evening at the time of my visit over the Xmas holiday period, but sadly there was never more than 3 or 4 other guests sat in there on any evening. Bar staff were friendly but quite limited in their ability to speak English, so if like I was, you're a Solo guest be prepared for a quiet evening!
