Yogya is very much a university town. It is home to the country's oldest university. The governor of Yogya, who is also the Sultan of Yogya and whose daughters have been educated in Brisbane is generally thought of very highly by western groups/ aid groups/ asian development bank / and Yogya is always ranked at or near the top as a model for provincial development and good governance. There is sheraton, radisson, ibis (accor) hotels. It has some multistoried & well airconditioned shopping centres. It is a town of about 1 million people. Probably similar to Denpasar. I love it.
