My experience staying for two days in grand mercure has been very pleasant!
Location u0026 Building
The location of the hotel is very strategic for those who travel through or in Yogyakarta. Coming up to the hotel, it has this many javanese ornament and decoration all over the lobby which is neat.
My Room
I happen to get the twin room inside the 7th floor that can be accessed with quite fast elevator. Inside my room, its a sight to see a simple yet luxury design of the room. I happen to have a room which face front of the building that i can use to do some sightseeing of nearby place. Next one the bathroom is the best part, its really big even three primary thing on bathroom which are sink, shower, and toilet are separated from one another. Lastly the bedroom is really nice even though its a twin meaning two beds, each one are large enough it makes me think i sleep on king size bed and oh its super comfy! There's also big boss like chair which is kind of questionable for this kind of room but okay i guess.
Meeting Room
During my stay, we had a training session inside the meeting room. The room is pretty big for one class of 20ish people. The room is minimalistic with javanese ornament on the wall. The lighting is soothing. Other participant think the light is on the dimmer side for training activity but I personally don't mind. Each prayer time for muslim, we got coffee break which the hotel provided 3 snack and a drink. I think the snack could be better but the drink is good which are a coffee or a tea with many sugar that you could choose from.
Food u0026 Drink
During my stay, i got to try the breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There are many varieties between meal. Out of all the foods that I tried, only two impressed me the most which is the sambal goreng roasted potato with some fried fish for lunch and this sweet chocolate brownie for dessert. Other food though, just okay nothing special.
Service
All the staff are kind and responsive to each guest request. I think they all done a really good job!
Nitpick
There are some nitpick that could probably make the experience even better.
- When you're relaxing on the terrace of the hotel first and second floor, you cant help but notice a strange wc like smell sometime. I hope it get fixed.
- The tv is still analog channel, switching to digital channel would improve the entertainment of watching a tv.
- Lastly the public bathroom doesn't have a jet shower. If you're a muslim, you're going to need a cup which hold a water to wash your pp after a toilet break otherwise your prayer would be rejected for having a dirty pants.
Overall i had great time staying in this hotel. I hope i get to visit it again next time!
