From Solo airport you could a taxi easily to yogya. It is only about an hour and a half (peak hours) to Yogya. Last year I paid round rp 175,000 but with the hike in fuel prices it could be slightly more.
If you are looking at good hotels, not too pricy but not in budget range and located conveniently to Jl Malioboro - Grand Mercure Yogyakarta, a beautiful very european style hotel - a short walk to Jl Malioboro or rp10,000 by becak. But for absolute convenience, Ibis Hotel, a nice business class type which is linked/attached to the Malioboro Mall. Would not recommend Inna Garuda which is on Jl Malioboro - a sort of hit and miss as to rooms - there are some pretty drab rooms.
