    Loved the quirky atmosphere and lovely paintings. Staff were friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the delicious breakfast and constant supply of tea and coffee. Free WiFi and access to a communal kitchen. Great location near bars, cafes, and restaurants.

    The only downside was the incredibly comfortable hammocks that made it impossible to get up and explore the city.

    We had an amazing time at Happy Buddha! The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and we loved the cozy communal lounge where we could relax and meet other guests. The staff, especially Ardi, were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They helped us with everything from renting scooters to recommending local spots to try delicious food. The breakfast was delicious and varied every day, and we enjoyed taking showers in the open air. The location was perfect, with plenty of little restaurants nearby that even had live music in the evenings. Despite a few ants and the loud mosque nearby, we were provided with earplugs to block out any noise. we highly recommend Happy Buddha for a memorable stay!

    The value for money at Happy Buddha was outstanding. The room was cozy and comfortable, with a cool climate from the fan and a mosquito mesh on the bed. The location was perfect, close to the city center and Sultan's Palace. The staff at Happy Buddha treated us like family, always friendly and helpful.

    The breakfast selection could be improved by offering the option to take it away.

    I had the best hostel experience ever at Happy Buddha in Yogyakarta! The place is even more beautiful than the photos, with colorful and cozy surroundings. The shared rooms are spacious and there are two bathrooms, including a unique open-air one. The staff, especially Ardy, was incredibly helpful and made me feel at home. The hostel is conveniently located near restaurants and attractions. I highly recommend staying at Happy Buddha for a memorable and enjoyable stay in Yogyakarta.

    The hostel is conveniently located in the center of the Prawirotaman area, surrounded by bars and restaurants. The vibrant street next to the hostel offers a variety of dining options. In addition, the hostel provides a booklet with information about tours and activities, making it convenient and time-saving for guests to book their excursions.

    The lack of sufficient plugs in the room can be a minor inconvenience for guests who need to charge multiple devices at the same time.

    Our stay at Happy Buddha was fantastic. The host went above and beyond to book our day trip to Borobudur and Prambanan at a great price. The recommendations for local restaurants and live music were spot on. We loved relaxing in the hammocks with the fan to stay cool. The location was perfect and we couldn't ask for more. we highly recommend this hotel.
