Find hotels in Kraton from £4

The best area to stay in Kraton is within the immediate vicinity of the Kraton complex itself, particularly in the neighbourhoods just east and south of the main palace.

This area is the historical heart of Yogyakarta. It's characterised by narrow, winding streets, traditional Javanese architecture, and a slower pace of life. You'll find many guesthouses and boutique hotels located among local residences, often with beautiful courtyards. The main entrance to the Kraton, known as Pagelaran, is easily accessible, and the Water Palace (Taman Sari) is also a short walk away.

Couples looking for a culturally rich and relaxed experience will find this area particularly appealing. It offers a chance to experience local life, explore historical sites on foot, and discover hidden eateries. Many local artisans have workshops here, offering unique souvenirs.

For travellers seeking a slightly more upscale stay with easy access to cultural sites, the area directly east of the Kraton, near Jalan Prawirotaman, is an excellent choice. This street and its surroundings offer a good selection of quality hotels, many with swimming pools and modern amenities.
