Indonesian Paradise Found: Delia Inn Syariah Klaten's Hidden Gem!
Indonesian Paradise Found: Delia Inn Syariah Klaten - More Than Just a Hotel, It's a Vibe! (SEO-Powered, Rambling Review)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I just got back from the wildest little adventure at Delia Inn Syariah Klaten, and I'm still unpacking the emotional baggage. This isn't your sterile, cookie-cutter hotel review. This is the real deal, straight from the (slightly frazzled) horse's mouth. Prepare for a rollercoaster of opinions, anecdotes, and maybe a few tangents about the existential dread of choosing the wrong breakfast buffet.
First Impressions (and a Deep Breath):
Finding Delia Inn is like stumbling upon a secret. It's tucked away in Klaten, Central Java, Indonesia, and honestly, the whole "hidden gem" description is spot-on. The vibe is immediately chill. Think less "stuffy corporate retreat" and more "laid-back Indonesian oasis." The architecture is gorgeous, a blend of modern and traditional, and the air just feels cleaner. (Important note: I'm a germaphobe, so this is HUGE.)
Accessibility - The Good, The Okay, and the "Could Be Better":
Alright, let's get real. Accessibility is a mixed bag. They do have an elevator, which is a huge plus. However, I'm not entirely sure about the specifics for wheelchair accessibility. I didn't see any ramps or super obvious features, so if that's a major concern, I'd recommend calling ahead and getting the lowdown. They do offer facilities for disabled guests, but the details are vague. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt, but definitely confirm before booking.
The Vibe Check: Cleanliness, Safety, and Staying Alive
Okay, this is where Delia Inn slays. Cleanliness and safety are clearly a priority. Like, they're practically obsessed with it. Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, and rooms sanitized between stays? YES, PLEASE! They even have professional-grade sanitizing services and hand sanitizer everywhere. I felt safer there than in my own apartment, which, let's be honest, is a feat.
They also have all the standard security stuff: CCTV in common areas and outside the property, fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, and 24-hour security. You know, the usual "don't die" precautions.
Rooms: My Personal Sanctuary (Mostly!)
Okay, my room! It was spacious, tastefully decorated, and, gasp, soundproof! (Bless you, Delia Inn, for understanding my need for silence). The blackout curtains were a lifesaver for sleeping in after a long day of exploring.
- The Good: Air conditioning (essential in the Indonesian heat), free Wi-Fi (in all rooms, thank the gods!), a desk to work from (if you must), a coffee/tea maker (my morning ritual), and a mini-bar (for those sneaky late-night cravings). The bathroom was clean and modern, with a separate shower/bathtub.
- The Not-So-Good: The internet access – LAN felt a little… outdated. I stuck with the Wi-Fi [free], which was generally reliable. Also, the reading light could've been brighter. Minor quibbles, honestly.
- The Extra Good: They provided complimentary tea and free bottled water, which is always a win in my book.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Food Glorious Food (and Coffee!)
Alright, let's talk food. The Asian breakfast was a delight. Think nasi goreng, mie goreng, and all the deliciousness my stomach could handle. They also offered a Western breakfast if you're not feeling adventurous. The breakfast buffet was extensive, but a little chaotic at peak times (I'm looking at you, early bird tourists!).
- The Restaurant: They have a restaurant with Asian cuisine in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, and even a vegetarian restaurant (yay!). I tried the nasi goreng and it was heavenly, a delicious, spicy, and perfectly cooked meal.
- The Coffee Shop: The coffee shop was a lifesaver. I'm a coffee addict, and their coffee was surprisingly good, a nice perk!
- The Poolside Bar: They have a poolside bar, but I was too busy basking in the sun to use it.
- Room Service: Room service [24-hour] is a godsend. Especially when you're too exhausted to leave your room.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax, and the Spa Experience (Oh, the Spa!)
Okay, this is where Delia Inn really shines. They have a swimming pool [outdoor] with a pool with view, a fitness center, and a spa/sauna.
- The Swimming Pool: The pool was gorgeous, and the view was stunning. Perfect for a lazy afternoon.
- The Spa: Now, the spa… that was an experience. I opted for the massage, and let me tell you, it was the most relaxing hour of my life. The masseuse was incredibly skilled, kneading away all the tension I didn't even know I had. I was so relaxed I nearly fell asleep.
- Other Relaxation Options: They also offer body scrub and body wrap treatments, but I was too busy recovering from my massage to try them.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Difference
Delia Inn really goes the extra mile. They have daily housekeeping, laundry service, dry cleaning, luggage storage, concierge, and currency exchange. They also have cash withdrawal and a convenience store. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.
For the Kids (and the Kid in All of Us):
Delia Inn is family/child friendly. They have babysitting service and kids facilities.
Getting Around: Easy Peasy
They offer airport transfer, taxi service, and car park [free of charge]. They also have car park [on-site].
Internet Access: Your Digital Life, Sorted
Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Praise be! They also offer internet access – wireless and internet services in general.
Business Facilities: For the Hustlers
They have meetings/banquet facilities, a business center, and a meeting stationery.
Things That Made Me Go "Hmm…":
- The "Doctor/nurse on call" felt a little… vague. What kind of doctor? Is it 24/7? Details, people!
- The "Happy hour" was a bit of a mystery. I never actually saw it advertised, but maybe I missed it.
The Verdict: Would I Go Back? ABSOLUTELY!
Delia Inn Syariah Klaten is more than just a hotel; it's an experience. It's a place to relax, recharge, and escape the daily grind. It has its imperfections, but the pros far outweigh the cons. The staff, the cleanliness, the spa… it all adds up to a truly memorable stay.
My Personal Anecdote (Because Why Not?):
Okay, so I'm sitting by the pool, blissfully soaking up the sun, when I see this massive lizard sauntering across the lawn. I'm not usually one to freak out, but this thing was HUGE. I may or may not have shrieked like a banshee. The staff, bless their hearts, just calmly shooed it away. It was the perfect example of the laid-back, "everything's okay" vibe of Delia Inn.

Crete's Hidden Gem: Thymes Traditional House - Unforgettable Island Escape
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's itinerary. We're going to Klaten, Indonesia, and we're doing it my way. That means chaos, questionable food choices, and probably a whole lot of me complaining about the humidity. Here's the rough draft, subject to change (and likely to be completely abandoned by lunchtime):
OYO 93838 Delia Inn Syariah Klaten - The Klaten Kerfuffle: A Travel Itinerary (Maybe?)
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Indonesian Mosquito Massacre of 2024
- Morning (ish): Arrive at Adi Soemarmo International Airport (SOC) in Solo. Hopefully, my luggage actually arrives this time. Last time I flew, it ended up in… well, let's just say it wasn't pretty. Take a pre-booked taxi (because public transport? Nah, I'm a wimp) to OYO 93838 Delia Inn Syariah in Klaten. The name alone makes me feel vaguely pious. Fingers crossed it's not a complete dump. I'm picturing minimalist décor, but secretly, I'm hoping for a slightly threadbare, charmingly decaying place.
- Afternoon: Check-in. Immediately assess the mosquito situation. I'm bringing the industrial-strength bug spray, because I'm pretty sure Indonesian mosquitoes are genetically engineered to be extra vicious. Unpack. Immediately regret packing so many pairs of shoes. Seriously, who needs that many shoes?
- Late Afternoon/Early Evening: Explore the immediate vicinity of the Inn. Okay, real talk: I'm not expecting much here. Probably a warung or two (small, local eateries) and some dusty streets. But hey, that's part of the adventure, right? Hopefully I can find some decent street food. I'm craving some authentic Nasi Goreng, the kind that actually makes your tastebuds sing. If I get a stomach ache, I'm blaming the humidity.
- Evening: Dinner at a recommended local restaurant (or the nearest warung that looks semi-clean). I’m a sucker for recommendations, but I'm also prepared for the possibility of a questionable culinary experience. Pray for no food poisoning. Seriously. Pray. Then, back to the hotel to collapse in exhaustion. And swat more mosquitoes. The mosquito war will be ongoing, I can feel it.
Day 2: Temples, Temples, Everywhere (and Maybe a Panic Attack)
- Morning: Wake up. Groan. The humidity. Ugh. Seriously, how do people live like this? Breakfast at the Inn (assuming they actually serve breakfast). Scour the internet for tips on visiting the Candi Plaosan temple. I’m hoping it’s not too crowded with tourists. Crowds stress me out. I might need a pre-temple anxiety pill.
- Late Morning: Head to Candi Plaosan. Okay, I'm picturing myself standing in front of some ancient, majestic temples. I'm hoping it's as awe-inspiring as the photos suggest. I'm also hoping I don't get lost. I have a terrible sense of direction. Maybe I should hire a driver for the day to avoid the inevitable navigational disaster.
- Lunch: Find somewhere to eat near the temple. I'm going for something light. Maybe some fruit. Anything to avoid the potential for a full-blown food coma in the afternoon.
- Afternoon: Explore more temples. Maybe Candi Prambanan if I'm feeling ambitious. Or maybe just collapse in a shady spot and read a book. Honestly, the temples sound amazing, but the thought of crowds is making me break out in a sweat. I'm already regretting not booking a private driver.
- Evening: Dinner. Something different. Maybe try some local seafood. If I can find some. Or maybe I'll just eat instant noodles in my room. Don't judge me.
- Late Evening: Reflect on the day. Did I see enough? Did I get lost? Did I actually understand the history of anything? Probably not. But hey, at least I'm trying. And hopefully, I haven't been completely eaten by mosquitoes.
Day 3: The Waterpark of Doom and the Search for Coffee
- Morning: Sleep in (if possible). I'm really starting to feel the travel fatigue. Breakfast. Then, a bold decision: a trip to the Umbul Ponggok underwater park. Apparently, you can snorkel and take photos underwater. This could be amazing…or it could be a complete disaster. I'm picturing myself accidentally swallowing a mouthful of chlorine.
- Late Morning: The underwater park. Okay, I'm going to try to be brave. I'll try to look cool and collected while taking pictures, I'm not sure how long I can hold my breath. I'm also worried about the quality of the water. Let's hope it's not murky.
- Lunch: Near the water park. Hopefully, they have something besides fried chicken.
- Afternoon: The great coffee hunt. I need coffee. Desperately. I'm going to find a decent coffee shop. I'm picturing a cute little cafe with air conditioning and strong, delicious coffee. If I can't find one, I might have a meltdown. It's a real possibility.
- Evening: Pack. Or at least attempt to. I'm terrible at packing. I'll probably end up with half my clothes still in the drawers. Dinner. A final attempt to find something delicious. And then, back to the hotel to mentally prepare for the journey home. The humidity will be waiting for me.
Day 4: Departure and the Post-Travel Blues
- Morning: Wake up. Say goodbye to the mosquito population. Check out of the hotel. Head back to the airport.
- Afternoon: Fly home. Reflect on the trip. Did I have fun? Probably. Will I remember anything? Maybe. Will I ever learn to pack properly? Absolutely not.
The Messy, Unedited Truths:
- Food: I will probably eat something I regret. It's inevitable. But hey, at least I'll have a story to tell.
- Mosquitoes: I fully expect to be covered in bites. They're practically a guarantee.
- Humidity: The enemy. Always.
- Temples: I'll probably be overwhelmed by the crowds and the heat. But I'll try to appreciate the history.
- Coffee: The most important thing.
- Overall: This is going to be a messy, imperfect adventure. And that's okay. That's what makes it interesting. Now, wish me luck. I'm going to need it.
Indonesian Paradise Found: Delia Inn Syariah Klaten's Hidden Gem! (Or is it?) - A Messy FAQ
Okay, spill the tea. Is Delia Inn Syariah Klaten *actually* a hidden gem? The internet whispers...
Alright, alright, let's be real. The "hidden gem" label? It's a bit much. I went in with ridiculously high expectations, fuelled by those Pinterest-perfect photos. And… well, it's not *quite* the mystical oasis they make it out to be. Don't get me wrong, it's *nice*. Really nice! But hidden gem? More like… a charmingly well-kept secret. Like, the kind of secret your aunt tells you about, not the kind of secret the Illuminati guards.
The first thing that hit me? The sheer *quiet*. It's in Klaten, which is already off the beaten tourist track. You're surrounded by rice paddies, the air is thick with the smell of… well, I think it was fertilizer, but in a surprisingly pleasant way. Almost Zen-like. Until, you know, the rooster wakes you up at 5 AM. (More on that later...)
Syariah? Does that mean I can't bring my… you know… *ahem*… anything?
Okay, let's address the elephant in the room. Yes, it's Syariah. That means… no alcohol. No pork. And, uh, I *think* they frown on unmarried couples sharing a room. (Although, I didn't see anyone policing that – thankfully! I was with my *husband*, people!). Honestly, it wasn't a big deal. I'm not exactly a raging party animal. And the food? Delicious! More on that later, too. (See, I'm learning the art of suspense here…)
The whole atmosphere is incredibly respectful. It's a place where you actually *want* to be mindful. It's a nice change of pace from the usual chaos of travel. You know, the kind of chaos that involves questionable street food and questionable decisions after one too many Bintangs.
The Rooms! Tell me *everything* about the rooms! Are they Instagrammable? (Important question).
Okay, the rooms. This is where Delia Inn *really* shines. Yes, they're Instagrammable. Like, *majorly* Instagrammable. Think minimalist chic meets traditional Javanese design. Clean lines, beautiful wood furniture, crisp white linens. My room had a little balcony overlooking the rice paddies. Seriously, I spent about an hour just staring out there, feeling all peaceful and… well, like I was in an Instagram ad. (Which, in a way, I was… I *did* post a photo…)
BUT… and there's always a but, isn't there? The air conditioning wasn't *quite* as effective as I'd hoped. And the hot water in the shower took a solid ten minutes to warm up. (First world problems, I know, I know.) Also, the walls are… thin. Let's just say I learned a *lot* about my neighbors' snoring habits. (Bless their hearts.)
The Food! You mentioned the food was delicious. What about the food? Give me details, dammit!
Okay, okay, the food! Right. So, the breakfast is included. It’s a simple, but incredibly satisfying, Indonesian breakfast. You're talking Nasi Goreng (fried rice), Mie Goreng (fried noodles), some kind of spicy chicken dish (I think it was Ayam Goreng), and fresh fruit. The fruit was amazing. Like, the kind of mango that makes you close your eyes and moan with pleasure. (I may have done that.)
But here's the kicker: *Order the Soto Ayam*. It's a chicken soup, and it's… oh my god. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. Seriously, it's the best Soto Ayam I've ever had. The broth is rich and flavorful, the chicken is tender, and they give you a mountain of fresh herbs and chili sauce to adjust to your liking. I ate it *every single day*. I even considered ordering a second bowl one time, but then I remembered I had to fit into my jeans. (Priorities, people!)
What's the vibe? Is it relaxing? Is it a party place? (Because I'm not sure what I'm looking for...)
Relaxing. Definitely relaxing. It’s not a party place. Unless your idea of a party is enjoying a cup of tea while watching the sun set over the rice paddies. (Which, honestly, is a pretty good party, in my book.) It's the kind of place where you can actually *hear* yourself think. Which, if you're like me, can be both a blessing and a curse. (My brain can be a noisy place.)
You'll see families, couples, maybe the occasional solo traveler. Everyone's pretty chill. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, always smiling and ready to assist. They’re not pushy, either. They let you do your own thing, which is a huge plus in my book. I hate being constantly bombarded with “activities” when I’m trying to relax.
The Rooster! You mentioned the rooster... What's the deal with the rooster?!
Oh, the rooster. *The rooster.* This is where things get… interesting. Let me tell you, that rooster is a force of nature. He has a voice that could shatter glass. He starts crowing at approximately 5:00 AM. Every. Single. Morning. It's not a gentle "cock-a-doodle-doo." It's a full-throated, ear-splitting, soul-shaking *COCK-A-DOODLE-DOOOOOOOOOO*.
I tried everything. Earplugs. White noise. Sleeping with my head under the pillow. Nothing worked. I swear, that rooster could crow through concrete. By the third morning, I was seriously considering a career change. (Maybe a rooster farmer? Just to… you know… understand my enemy.) Honestly, the rooster is the only real downside of the whole experience. Just bring earplugs. Seriously. You've been warned.
Is it worth going? Overall, would you recommend Delia Inn Syariah Klaten?
Okay, the verdict. Would I recommend Delia Inn Syariah Klaten? Yes, absolutely. With caveats. It's not a perfect paradise. The air conditioning could be better, the walls are thin, and the rooster is a demon. But, the positives far outweigh the negatives. The rooms are beautiful, the food is delicious (especially the Soto Ayam!), the staff is lovely, and the atmosphere is incredibly relaxing.
