By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if the lowest price is what matters most and you are happy to take taxis to the main sights. Skip it if you want a stronger guest score, since our Best Value pick costs about €26 more per night and scores almost a point higher.

Solo Grand City is our Budget pick for Solo. At €13.28 per night it was the cheapest eligible option, 65% below the sample median.
It suits travellers on a tight budget who mostly need a bed, air conditioning and somewhere to park. The property lists a restaurant, free parking, family rooms, air conditioning and a terrace.
Be clear about the tradeoff. Its score of 8.0 out of 10 from 67 reviews was the lowest of the 8 properties we compared. Free Wi-Fi is not on the facilities list we have, so if you need to work online, confirm it first or look at our other picks.
Location and getting around
The address is 110 Jalan K.H Samanhudi. The nearest sight in our data, the National Press Monument, is 2.4 km away in a straight line, about 30 minutes on foot.
The Great Mosque of Surakarta is 3.4 km, around 43 minutes, and Fort Vastenburg is 3.9 km, around 49 minutes. Those two are far on foot, so you will want public transport or a taxi. The location score is 8.5 out of 10.
What guests say
The score is 8.0 out of 10 across 67 reviews. That is a decent result in absolute terms, but it places the hotel last in our Solo sample, where the competition scored higher.
Our data does not include specific praise or complaints. Read recent reviews for comments on cleanliness, noise and Wi-Fi, which are the things that most often decide a budget stay.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
The reference price was €13.28 per night, seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates. The sample median was €38.22.
Our Best Value pick, MAHALAYA The Legacy Hotel, was €38.81 per night with 4 stars and an 8.9 score. Our Luxury pick, Alila Solo, was €119.04 per night with 5 stars and a 9.1 score.
So the saving here is real: roughly €51 less over two nights than MAHALAYA. What you give up is a star, about 0.9 points of guest score and the confirmed gym, spa and Wi-Fi listed there. Breakfast options listed are halal, Asian and buffet; whether breakfast is in your rate is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 8 eligible properties in Solo. Our Budget slot takes the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale choice is set aside, and Solo Grand City was that hotel. It earned the place on price, not on score.
