Hi,
I can recommend two hotels, both have websites, one is Rumah Mertua which is a little bit further out of the main shopping area of Jl Marlioboro.... and the other is Mutiara hotel which is right in the centre of the shopping area ;) Both hotels can be easily found with a google search ;)
Must do's ....
The sultan's palace, (Keraton)
The Water Palace (Taman Sari)
Parangritis beach (volcanic sand beach)
Borobudur Temple ..
Prambahan Temple ..
Jalan Malioboro - shopping ... (most dont open till after 10am)
Alun Alun ... - go here and try to walk between the two Bayan tree's whilst blind folded, if your able to walk between them in a straight line... the javanese believe you have "special powers"
The beaches south of Jogja... Krakal, Baron, Sundak and many others.
the list is endless :)
