Hotels in Kuta, Bali

The hotel is close to the airport, so the journey was short. I requested a pickup from the hotel in advance, and everything was easy. While I was collecting my luggage at the airport, the driver contacted me via WhatsApp and waited for me at the exit. The hotel is fantastic: the facilities, the large and quiet room with air conditioning and no mosquitoes, the breakfast, the bed, the bathroom – everything was clean, lovely, and comfortable, and the staff were charming. After more than 24 hours of travel, arriving at this place was a stroke of luck. I travel alone and would definitely recommend this hotel.

I wouldn't recommend staying here. The hotel felt like an escape room – we booked a deluxe room, and it surprisingly had no window, which wasn't stated anywhere. The air quality was terrible with a strong renovation smell. The bathroom had no hairdryer, and while it had a wet/dry separation, the shower door was missing. The toilet and sheets were dirty, and both the air conditioning and fridge were leaking. At 11:30 PM, the music from the bar outside was incredibly loud. I'm catching a 7 AM flight, so I'm feeling awful right now. The only positive thing I can say is that the staff were very warm and friendly.

Staff are so friendly here and overall I enjoyed my stay for the price paid it is good value. The room was nice and the bed big. The toilet holder did fall off the wall and the shower rail fell down. However not an issue to me. The pool areas are nice but they have put a basket ball hoop at the larger pool and the ball got thrown against the back of the hoop all day which does get annoying with the constant banging. Laying by the music played by the pool side bar does drown out the noise some what. The breakfast there was quite a lot of options but not really things I would want for breakfast like creamy pasta & roast chicken though the egg station man made a decent omelette. Would probably stay again if I was wanting to be in the thick of things. The aircon is good & drowns out any outside noise. Slept well. They’ve also got some activities throughout the week for example a free Yoga class on Monday mornings.

Although the building is old, it's very well-maintained, so I had a really comfortable stay! The plumbing, especially, was impeccably managed. The water pressure was excellent, and the temperature was just right. The air conditioning also worked perfectly. The breakfast offered a great variety, and besides the egg station, there was also a 'pasta station' where dishes were cooked right in front of you. They didn't just warm up the sauce; they actually cooked the pasta properly. It was delicious. There were a lot of Indian guests, and the breakfast menu had plenty of Indian dishes, which I really enjoyed. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to use the TV at all and hardly watched anything. (It displayed a message to check the antenna, so it might have been broken.) The location is very convenient – close to the airport, and within walking distance of Beachwalk. There are also restaurants and convenience stores nearby. On the last day, I was able to use the pool after check-out, and then borrowed a shower room to change before leaving. I left the hotel feeling very content. I highly recommend this hotel if you're staying in the Kuta area!

The room size was just right, and the location is excellent. It's about a 20-minute walk to Kuta Beach, but if it's too hot at midday, you can get there in 10 minutes by motorbike. The soundproofing of the walls isn't great; you can hear people talking on the phone outside. However, the main draw is definitely the location. Whenever we head north to Ubud, it's quite a distance, so Kuta serves as a perfect stopover. The sunsets in Kuta are unbeatable! There are plenty of food options nearby; there's a Lanzhou Lamian shop right across the street, and a large night market with everything you could want about 200 meters diagonally opposite.

The staff were all very friendly. The Sands restaurant in the morning offered a rich selection of Chinese, Indonesian, and Indian dishes, among others. I particularly enjoyed the beef soup with spinach and rice noodles, which kept me feeling good all day. The lychee yogurt was exceptionally delicious, and you could pick your own fruits to be juiced, though the taste was a bit sour. For one day, we sat at an outdoor table by the sea, but the ants and flies were a bit too 'natural' for my liking and I found it hard to tolerate. The pool is divided into several small sections, which was fine and didn't bother me. The ground floor rooms were a bit humid, making it difficult for washed clothes to dry, and occasionally there were ants in the room, despite the cleaning staff doing a very thorough job. The minibar was restocked daily, but I wasn't particularly fond of the items. We could ask for more bottled water once we finished it; on the second day, seeing our many empty bottles, they left eight new ones. The king-size bed in the family room was very large, easily accommodating three people, and the duvet was also big. At first, I thought the bed was too soft, but after three nights, it was very comfortable. The sofa next to it could easily sleep a teenager; with an added blanket, our family of four slept comfortably. We borrowed free bicycles from the hotel by the pool, which was convenient for cycling around the area. They even had bikes for teenagers and ones with child seats, making it great for families. The evening dinner performance was no longer available, but with the room card, we could get free scenic seats at the Discovery Mall's performance. Other discounts and hotel activities could be found on the promotional flyer in the room.

On the first day of arrival, we were assigned a pool access room right at the very end, which unfortunately was next to the kitchen where they cooked Indian food. The smell of spices permeated our room late at night. We complained, and since other rooms were full, we were eventually upgraded to a suite. We moved rooms at 9 PM. Housekeeping seemed to lack a standard for cleaning rooms. I requested an extra towel because I was traveling with a child, and I had to ask for a hand towel (shouldn't it be provided automatically?). After the room was cleaned, the number of towels went back to two, and the hand towel wasn't refilled. So I had to keep calling reception to ask for one. The breakfast buffet tended to be monotonous and, in my opinion, not very good. The only saving graces were the omelets and instant noodles every day. FYI, I stayed for 4 days, and my husband ended up eating only instant noodles and omelets for breakfast 😅. There were no beef dishes like beef black pepper or other standard beef options. The spicy chicken (ayam rica) was good, in my opinion. As for the fish dishes, honestly, they were very fishy, so I didn't touch them at all. There were five types of fruit: melon, papaya, watermelon, snake fruit, and oranges, but often the watermelon was missing. As for the kids' club, there were more devices than children's toys, so my husband ended up playing PS4. My suggestion for the kids' club is to add some brachiation equipment or a small slide for climbing so that children aren't always staring at gadgets. Coloring activities at small tables could also be added if there's no budget for brachiation equipment.

The front desk staff were all very polite and incredibly helpful from check-in to check-out. The bedding in the room had a slight musty smell, and the shower design in the bathroom was a bit odd – you couldn't stand to shower without getting water all over the floor. Showering in the bathtub while seated felt a bit cramped. However, it's very convenient for getting to the airport; a Grab ride took less than 15 minutes. It's a great place to stay the night before your return journey, and there are three convenience stores directly opposite and nearby the hotel.

The first pork ribs on the dinner menu were absolutely delicious 😋. The room was clean and tidy, with bottled water provided. The minibar had a snack price list. All the staff were warm and friendly. There's a large supermarket on the basement floor opposite the hotel, which is really convenient for shopping. For airport pick-up, you need to email the hotel in advance to book it. The bellboy was waiting at the airport on time. Overall, it was a fantastic experience.
