Novotel Solo

The hotel is generally comfortable, but cleanliness is a major concern for a 4-star hotel.
It might be worth checking out other 4-star Accor hotels to see what their breakfast standards are like.
The current standard of the Novotel Solo has declined drastically.

We stayed at Novotel Solo for four nights to celebrate a birthday and the school holidays. The hotel’s primary advantage is its strategic location, which made it very convenient to reach the various sites on our itinerary.
The check-in process was efficient; we arrived at 3 PM and were settled into our room within ten minutes. We also appreciated the upgrade from our reserved Executive Room to a Family Room. The hotel staff facilitated a thoughtful birthday surprise for my daughter with a cake, which was well-received and added a nice touch to our arrival.
The room was spacious, comfortably accommodating a king bed and a single bed, and offered a clear view of the city from the top floor. The interior design features a 90s aesthetic combined with Javanese cultural elements, such as batik motifs and wayang mosaics on the ceiling. Even though our room faced the street, it remained clean and the noise insulation was effective.
Regarding facilities, the hotel is well-equipped for families. My children enjoyed the kids' club and the pool area, which includes a dedicated children’s pool with slides. The breakfast buffet offered a consistent variety of choices, and we enjoyed the opportunity to try local items like Gudeg and Jamu. Overall, the staff was helpful and attentive throughout our stay. Given the location, value, and the standard of service, we would consider returning for future visits. "

We enjoyed our stay. The gym was massive and well equipped. The location was strategic because it was walking distance to a lot of food places. When my kids' room shower was problematic, technicians came and completely fixed it. The room was comfortable. Staff service was good.

I had a wonderful experience staying at Novotel Solo. From the moment I arrived, the service was outstanding. The staff were genuinely warm, friendly, and always ready to help with a smile.
The room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable – the bed was perfect for a great night’s sleep, and everything felt modern and well-maintained. The facilities, including the pool and gym, were also excellent and added a lot to the overall stay.
What really stood out was how quick and attentive the team was. Every request was handled promptly and professionally – the staff truly went above and beyond.
A special shout-out to the sales team member, Chichi, whose service was absolutely exceptional. She was professional, proactive, and made the booking process smooth and pleasant. Her attention to detail and friendly attitude made a big difference!
Overall, Novotel Solo offers great value with top-notch service and comfort. I’ll definitely return the next time I’m in Solo! Thank you to the entire team.

Had a wonderful stay at Novotel Hotel Solo! The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making my visit truly relaxing. The hotel’s location is also convenient and easy to access.
A special mention to Yasmin at the reception — she was exceptionally helpful, friendly, and professional throughout my stay. Her warm hospitality and assistance really made a difference and left a great impression.
Highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Solo — great service, great stay!

We unfortunately got put on a floor directly below the level they were renovating, but their response to our complaints were top notch. We’ve gotten moved to a cleaner and quieter room, and I should also add that the laundry service was amazing. We’ve recently been a part of an activity that had made our shoes full of mud, and they’ve washed it and have sent it to us just hours later. Mba Ayi was the very friendly laundry lady who brought our shoes back and I would just like to show my appreciation to her and the staff of this hotel as well!
Much recommended by me. Go stay at this hotel!

I recently stayed at Novotel Solo, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome. Check-in was smooth and efficient, and the front desk team was both professional and genuinely friendly.
The room was spotless, well-furnished, and very comfortable. I especially appreciated the attention to detail — from the quality of the linens to the complimentary amenities provided. Housekeeping did an excellent job throughout my stay, ensuring everything remained clean and organized. What truly stood out was the level of service especially Ms. Felicia. Every staff member I encountered, whether at the restaurant, concierge desk, or even housekeeping, was attentive, polite, and eager to help. They went out of their way to ensure I had everything I needed and provided great recommendations for local attractions and dining options. Overall, this was one of the best hotel experiences I’ve had. I highly recommend Novotel Solo to anyone looking for comfort, cleanliness, and exceptional service.

The hotel's city location is excellent, with the rail station nearby. Our room was spacious, and the staff were very helpful. Overall, it was great value for money.
Suggestions for Improvement:
1. The bed was too hard; consider replacing it with a King Koil mattress.
2. The water mark on the bath room glass.
3. The sofa in the room was also too hard and looked old. Updating the sofa cover would be a good idea. The room interior and amenities need refurbishment.
4. The interior looks Old.

I've stayed in Novotel Solo for more than 4 times during my business trip in Surakarta for the last 5 years. The location is one of my reason to stay. Despite the food's variety served during breakfast was not much, still, I love to stay in Novotel since the room is very much lovely and enjoyable. If I asked what is the most issues to be solvedtthe hotel is the breakfast and the food's variation.

I stayed in Family Room with my other 2 colleagues. This is what we got.
1. Receptionist staff was not so friendly — even never greet us whenever we came back from strolling around Solo city. Compared with Harris, Pop or Swissbell, their receptionist were much more friendly enough, even remember our name. Only your security guard who always greeted and smiled to us. Two thumbs up for them.
2. Room was quite enough spacious, but old. Shower tool was broken and shower room were clogged drains. Pillows were too high but still acceptable.
3. You provide refillable water jugs, but we hd to call reception first to refill them. That's inefficient. We're wondering why you don't provide water dispensers on every floor. Pls consider to give better service.

Our stay at Novotel solo was absolutely superb!
The hotel is stunning, with an incredible range of restaurants that offer something for everyone. The whole place feels exclusive, yet welcoming.
What truly made our stay memorable was the amazing staff. Everyone we interacted with was so friendly and helpful. A special shoutout to Kania she is waitrees-she was an absolute gem! So sweet, kind, and genuinely helpful. We had such fun chatting with her, and she made sure everything went smoothly for us.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a luxurious and unforgettable getaway in solo.

Hotel don't allow me to shift the schedule due to I have urgent issue informed 2 days before arrival. The hotel has nice swimming pools and kids playground. The hotel looks quite old already. When checked in our room was not properly clean, fake eyelash and needle found on the carpet. Lucky it didn't hurt my kid. Breakfast are below expectation. My previous 3 star hotels has better breakfast taste.

It's a flawless hotel I would say. Even though it is situated on an old building, but all of the facilities got great maintenance. The food taste good. The room is clean and smells good. Although, it takes quite a while for the AC to cool the room even when the blower is set to the max. All in all, it has a great value for money.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The check-in process was smooth, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. My room was clean and comfortable, with all the necessary amenities. The location was perfect, close to major attractions and restaurants. I particularly enjoyed the breakfast options and the pool area. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend this hotel to others.

I have stayed at this hotel several times, and it never fails to impress me. The service is consistently excellent, and the location is perfect—right in the heart of Solo, close to key attractions, shopping areas, and restaurants.
From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the staff. Everyone was courteous, professional, and genuinely helpful. A special shoutout to Mbak Cheche, who assisted me throughout my stay with such care and attention. She made sure all my needs were met promptly and went the extra mile to ensure I was comfortable. It’s staff like her that truly elevate the guest experience.

Had a quick break and Went straight to Novotel Solo. Easily accessible, thanks to its prime location at Slamet Riyadi. Just a 1 night stay on March, but was super welcomed by accor's hospitality standard plus a Touch of indonesian hospitality. Room was spacious, breakfast was great, super friendly and helpful staffs. Zero complaints.

I stay here for two nights last month, the room & location are nice, the service is good. But too bad the breakfast is not good enough, because they serve the same menu two days in a row, so it'll make you feel bored since you eat the same menu if stay more than one day.
