Bali hotels & places to stay

Best hotel in Bali. I felt really special and welcomed by staff. Staff welcomed us with flower garland while entering the hotel. Staff were really friendly, helpful and always smiling. I booked this hotel because both rimba and ayana have beautiful pools , restaurants and priority access to rock bar. Being the guest of Rimba we were given the best seat at rock bar. I would highly recommend this hotel. I cannot thank enough to the hotel and staff. We checked out at 12:00 but we had flight at 20:00. Staff allowed us to stay at the hotel and use all the facilities. This really made our day.

Me and my friend booked for 2 nights in Astagina and another 1 night on our last day in Bali. Staffs were very hospitable especially the ones in the conceirge - Krisna, Sinta, and Bayu - they were very attentive to our requests and helped us in everyway possible to make our vacation wonderful. Upon check-in, we already informed them that we will be having our tour the next day thus we cannot go to the breakfast but they can give us “breakfast box” instead, aggreed and set the delivery of the said box at 5-5:30am. Next day came, hoping for something “big” for the breakfast box but we received a box of 3 types of bread, 2 kinds of fruits, some jam and butter, and a bottle of water each. We didn’t complain thinking maybe it is what is served for breakfast in the hotel, and it is still early that time. On our last day, we went to join in for breakfast where we witness how different the servings from what we received the other morning, there were many varieties to choose from. Then we had another booking to the same hotel after 2 days, wherein we now checked-in in a twin beds room, room is spacious. Anyhow, our overall stay were wonderful that is why we still booked another night on our last day in Bali, and planning to stay in the same hotel when we go back to Bali.

Tijili is such a gem of a hotel. From our rose petals n swans anniversary formation on the bed to the wonderful staff,it’s been amazing ! The location is perfect . On a quiet street in Seminyak . 5mins to the beach and rows of eateries . The artsy decor is beautifully instagrammable. I had the most delicious omelette at breakfast . The 1 for 1 mojitos at cocktail hour & the friendly DJ jazzy playing at the outdoor lounge added to our celebration. Staff such as Yuli who never fails to smile even during the breakfast hour & Destra at the front desk who assisted us with the Ubud spa ,so refreshing . I love everything about this charming place . It Beats all the 5 star exclusive Bali hotels or villas with its personality . My partner Kevin has a hard time getting up as the bed is so heavenly & we’re always late to do our day activities . 1 point is that there’s no vanity mirror outside in the room as it’s only in the bathroom. 5 stars to Tijili n will come back for sure !

From the moment you enter is amazing. You are treated like a VIP. Amazing view literally in the middle of the jungle. And the breakfast it was amazing. I changed many hotels in bali and this one had the most amazing breakfast. Everything you want. Perfect service. The dinner delicious but a bit expensive comparing to Ubud prices. But delicious. The only thing is that is 25-30 min from the center and the pool. If this hotel would have an infinity pool it would be one of the best in Ubud. Value for money.

We have stayed in couple of hotels in Bali and really did some research, the Inaya is far the best hotel in nusa dua in terms of money value, great clean beach, service is not to mention excellent, room with pool is highly recommended and breakfast is diverse and just incredible. For example, hotel next door is st. Regis(where presidents stays ), using the same beach therefore the location must be great. First we booked 3 nights and than decided to stay 3 more and after visiting Ubud ( must see jungle town- in hotel Udaya, great hotel) we went to Kuta, Seminyak booked 3 nights and were vary disappointed with the dirty beach, so we went back to Inaya to go home with great memories from Bali.

I have tried two other famous 4 star hotels in Bali and i can say with full confidence that this hotel deserves to have a 5th star! Very clean rooms, towels, linens etc. Spotless. Very helpful and excited staff. Place feels luxurious. Super delicious with variety breakfast and room service. I complained about a neighbor being noisy and they did their best to control the situation and also offered me to sleep in a another room for the night. The next day, I found a hand written letter on my bed from the manager expressing his apologies, which really made me appreciate the customer service they have.

We stayed nearly a week at this beautiful resort. It is very comfortable. The rooms are spacious and the beds are great. The balconies are super to sit out and listen to the waves break in the evening or at night. The pool overlooks the beach, as in the pictures, and the beach is directly bordering the hotel. Staff is friendly and helpful. We have seen better breakfast buffets in other Bali hotels, but it is still very decent. Value for money? Depends on the rate you get, but you definitely will be staying in a very good resort and you will be able to relax perfectly.

The Inna Grand Bali Beach is the Queen of Hotels in Bali. I have stayed there many times since 1972 and still find it is my preferred place to stay in Bali. Many staff members have been there for many years and always remember you when you return. It is really lovely to be met at the front entrance with "welcome home" and "its nice to see you again". The rooms are comfortable, but are show their age. Most things work, but I found that staff reacted quickly to requests to repair or replace anything that didn't work. The king size beds are comfortable and the airconditioning can be set to a good temperature. Each room had an old CRT TV with almost 40 channels. Not much in the way of sports, but several movie channels and the usual Discovery, Animal Planet and National Geographic channels. for Australian travellers there is the Australia Network Channel. All channels are free. The grounds of the hotel are manicured and lovely. It lovely to stroll through gardens to have breakfast in the morning. Lawns and plants are immaculate. Breakfast in included in many packages so that you can indulge in as much of the lovely fresh local fruits and food as you can eat. I am impressed with the cooks at the egg station who can cook up to 4 orders at the same time on 4 separate burners and do a perfect job each time. The GBB is one of the closest hotels to all of the major tourist attractions and destinations in Bali. For instance if you are going to visit the sites in the interior of Bali or Eastern Bali then it is 45 minutes closer than Nusa Dua. The nicest thing about the GBB is the staff. They remember you and look after you so well. It is is indeed a pleasure to stay there and be welcomed each time. It is also a chance to participate a little bit in Balinese life as many organisations in Bali and other parts of Indonesia use this hotel for conferences, weddings and university graduations.

We celebrate our anniversary in Mantra Sakala with our daughter. They upgrade us to suite room. Our room was clean & beautifully decorated. From kitchen, bedsheet, pillow cases, bath tub, shower, toilet, towels are clean. I am very picky with hotels, especially with their cleanliness. The Bed is very comfortable. They have huge pool, and my kid had lots of fun in the pool. They also have kids club with extra charge. However, it's not way more expensive than other kids club in Bali. I think it's reasonable price. The beach is just across the hotel, with many beach activites. The staffs are helpful and friendly. They smile when you talk with them or ask them questions, which is a plus, because lately is very rare to find hotel employees with that kind of attitudes. Definitely this hotel is customer satisfaction oriented, different from other hotels that are only treating their guests with $ tags on the face. Mantra Sakala is one of the best hotels in Bali. We would definitely come back.

the staff are fantastic and helpful. always smiling and willing to assist. the rooms aren't huge but the shower sure is. good little balcony also. the view from the ocean facing rooms is excellent especially if you are on the 4th floor. it is also really great to have free wifi that works well. breakfast is probably the best i have had at any hotel in bali, and i have stayed in many. the pool is lovely and the pool service is also very good. this hotel is a fantastic place to stay and is in a great location. being able to walk out to the beach and take the path north to kuta, instead of having to walk on the busy street is a nice, safe and relaxing way to get around. it is located next door to one of the best shopping centres in south bali. as centrally located as it is, it is still far enough away from the party zone of north kuta / legian, which is an area we are not interested in. love staying at the kartika and highly recommend it.

we hadn't been to bali for 15 years. kamandalu is the bali we remembered. to ubud centre but worth it to be away from the bustle. the rooms are so good most people stay in them, so it feels like you have the resort to yourself. the service was so good it felt like we had the entire staff to ourselves at times - especially in the restaurant where the food was excellent. we have stayed in many resorts - we do not hesitate to highly recommend kamandalu. (be careful at tourist hot spots like nearby best rice terrace view where vendors have become aggresive. and skip kuta entirely to avoid ruining your holiday with a bad impression of what some of bali has become.)

TS Suites is our last hotel to spend our night in our recent trip to Bali. Before, we have spent a night in Sofitel, a luxury hotel. However, we concluded that TS Suites is also a top hotel in Bali. Located in strategic place, TS Suites provide unusual added value service to the guest. It has a free minibar (soft drinks and bars of kit kat) which is refilled every day, an all day breakfast (so you won't have to wake up early just to cash in your breakfast coupon). It has two pool tables in entertainment area as well as library, internet, and children play ground which is free. It also has roof top pool, bar, and gym. and it operates 24 hours. So basically, TS Suites is a hotel which follow your needs, not you who follow their rules. Room is okay, great design with recent sliding door trends for bathroom. for the size, even the lowest tier, TSand is quite broad and convenient enough for two people. Bathroom can be improved though. The rain showers system can be improved because when using the hand showers, waters still sometimes drops from above. Housekeeping staff should be more incentive in cleaning the floors and the edges. It is a brand new hotel (which is opened in 2014) so it will still look clean. However, the challenge will be on next years and on. A good hotel should be seen whether the bathroom is clean and rust-free or not.

Beautiful hotel, amazing views. Pool area was stunning, clean and lovely staff ensuring everyone was looked after. Room was a bit stuffy on arrival but opened the door and got the breeze blowing as well as staff lighting lemongrass oil burners. The smell disappeared after a couple of hours. Food was lovely, large servings and good value. Massages were wonderful but western prices so that was different from some other hotels in Bali. No need to go anywhere as each day was beautiful and evenings watching the sunset on the cliff were wonderful. Some renovation going on which wasn't really intrusive, the loudest thing was the water truck with pump going every afternoon but that was only at the back of the hotel. No problem with Mosquitoes as the breeze was great. Spa on the deck was lovely watching the sunset! Bed was huge and very comfortable room, always kept clean. Beautiful resort.

We chose the Park Regis because the Deluxe Pool Suites advertised on Agoda looked like really good value. We are happy to say that overall we were delighted with our decision to stay there. It’s advertised as a 4 star hotel, but our facilities were definitely in a 5 star class with robes, slippers, 2 flat screen TVs, plunge pool, court yard, king sized bedroom, separate lounge, huge bathroom, powder room and kitchen. The Park Regis staff are so helpful, obliging and friendly that it feels a bit unfair to give nitpicking criticism. However, like most Asian hotels, some little touches that one would expect in a western hotel are lacking. We had a nice plunge pool and court yard, but no outdoor furniture until we asked. The beautiful marble floor would have been much better if they had been mopped more often. The main pool was good, adequate for laps, but not quite as large as it looks in the brochures. The Hotel’s Padi Padi Restaurant had great service and was good value for all meals. We would recommend the al a carte ‘Aussie Breakfast’ at R71,000 (A$7) rather than the buffet at R145,000. The main Kuta shops and Kuta beach is within walking distance. However, for a less than R20,000 (A$2) you can get a meter taxi there or even to the main DFS area. Just a tip for those first timers to Bali: You can get a SUV or car and driver who will be your interpreter and tour guide for a 10 hour day for less than A$60 a day (even including fuel), we used Edhi from www.adventuretrans.net or phone in Bali 081328061771. For other tours and theme parks check them out on the internet first or because brochure price seem to be inflated by 50%, bargain for discounts with the many tour operators around the streets. Good value restaurants abound, but if you are in the Poppies Lane 1 area we recommend ‘Uns’, 'The Secret Garden' and ‘Poppies’. If we can get a similar deal for the pool rooms again, we will definitely stay at the Park Regis on our 11th visit to Bali.

the most beautiful and luxury hotel i every seen.. i'v been to many hotels and resort all around the world & specially in Indonesia, and this is one of the best ever.. i love everything about it, i don't want to talk in details because i will never finish and am worried that i will miss something, so i will say it again & again ..everything was so beautiful and beyond expectation & it's the best ever i recommend it to anybody single, couple or family ..love it ..love it.. thank AYANA

The Melasti must be one of, or the best value hotel in Bali . The rooms are spacious , well set out and clean. The area is lovely, bars , spars , shops, and resteraunts right at your back door. The beach and beach bars are right at your front door, or vice versa..?? The beach and beach bars are outside the lovely hotels resteraunt. the breakfast and all food is first class. No extra to get room service.. The staff are all happy and helpful, at all times of day or night. We have had numerous Bali holidays, and always finish it at the Melasti. Our home from home

Our stay was very good for 1 week. Hotel is very well located, walking distance to restaurant, bars and shops. Nice pool on the roof, good breakfast, nice atmosphere in the hotel. You can very easily rent a scooter (definite must in Bali with no exception - bring your international license. You can rent without it with no questions ask but beware of police, they will fine you if you dont have it with one and quiet expensive too). Dont choose the option of renting car or taxi to go to different areas of bali, you ll get stuck in traffic and might ruin your stay otherwise early early morning to go somewhere around 7am otherwise 2hrs in traffic. Bali is definitely a beautiful place (except for traffic which gets to your head in the end), nice and friendly people, nature and rice fields around Ubud with its local craftsmanship (wood, clothes and silver), beaches are alright (have seen better), scenery is nice too around uluwatu wit the cliffs. Nice for diving, excellent waves around cangu area (north kuta) and from time to time for kite surfers.

It was our third trip to Bali. It is very convenient location for closer distance to ubud centre. It sets on the beautiful rice terrace near small creek to show panoramic scenery. All the staffs at visesa hotel are nice and friendly. We are very to happy to stayed there and recommend it to others. They haven't finished all the resort facility yet but I would like to visit again when they settle it. I joined morning yoga class and the instructor was the best one I ever experienced in Bali trip.

Sadly it was my last night in Bali before heading home to Sydney on the late Jetstar flight. I hadn't booked any accomodation for the night as I had been staying in Ubud but wanted to be closer to shopping & the airport for my last day/night. I found a 2 bedroom Villa on Agoda @The JAS Villas right in the hub of Seminyak at a super cheap rate so booked it & I was gobsmacked at how awesome the Villa was. The staff were amazing & arranged a 7.30pm checkout the next evening which was bang on for me to get to the airport on time for my flight. My only regret is that I didn't discover this gem earlier in my stay. I will definitely be staying at The JAS Villas on my next trip to Bali. The location was perfect, just down a laneway from all the action in Seminyak yet when in the Villa it was tranquil & super relaxing, you would never know that a 3 min walk away was the hub of Seminyak clubs, bars & restaurants. And right at the end of the laneway across the road was a 24 hr restaurant WINNING

There are a lot of really nice things about the W but there are some downsides too. The good: The interior design is very well considered and we appreciated the details. Rooms were excellent, the communal areas were breathtaking and very ... 'cool' (horrifically general word but I think this is what they're intending it to be). The pools were nice and the restaurants were pretty well designed also. The best thing was the sunset - breathtakingly beautiful! Room service was reasonably good also, once or twice they forgot something but on the whole it was above par. The bad: The concierge "Whatever whenever" never worked - it became a joke that "whatever whenever" meant that they'd do whatever they felt like whenever they could be bothered. I think this was mostly because they were so understaffed that random staff trying to help jumped in and confused everything. Next, the outdoor areas are badly designed and tiny, for a hotel this size it needs at least 2x the outdoor space to function at a 5 star level. We found ourselves always messing around trying to find available poolside space as if it were a nasty 3 star all inclusive resort. There were no private places however I think if you take a villa you get some garden area but no beachside. The cocktails are totally watered down overpriced for bali. I know that this is an international grade hotel however the drinks to standard as you'd expect globally but were priced about the similarly Lastly: there wasnt really anything balinese, which was a huge shame. Bali is such a beautiful place-attitude, culture, art & craft, it would have been nice if some aspect of this was incorporated -this hotel could have been anywhere in the world as nothing of Bali really came through. Don't be put off, if you're looking for a place which is beautifully designed, beside a beach (where you cant swim) and amongst other premium grade hipster wannabes then this is really your home.

Let me start with our best compliment for the staff at the royal santrian. They are amazing, we always greeted by name. The staff always make sure all of our need is accomodated. If you love privacy and personalized services then this place is for you. The complex not quite big like other resort such as mulia or hyatt they have only 22 villas and the service is very personalized more than you can expected. When we check in they gave us the villa that located quite near the hotel that still on construction beside the resort. The workers can freely see you and whatever you doing in the villa, it's really discomforting for us. We asked them to change villa and they gave us villa that quite far from the construction site and near the lobby and all of our experience change immediately. They give free shuttle to nusa dua area so we go to bali collection in nusa dua by the shuttle. When we're taking breakfast one of their staff greet us and talk to us how they can make our stay more comfortable they're so friendly. They offered us to take the bicycle and ride it around the nusa dua area whiches quite lovely area. The GM also greet us personally when we're having a breakfast. I can't tell you enough about the staff perfomance in here. It's the best staff perfomance ever so far in our travelling experience. We are highly recommending this villa

AT first glance, the hotel has a very modern chic new look, a place for urbanites with a Starbucks right at the lobby. A great feature for those accustomed to their regular Joe's even away on vacation. The lobby/reception area is spacious unlike most Bali hotels, with a few helpdesk. However, the check-in was a bit slow (couldn't find my booking) but everything was sorted in the end. The room was a pleasant surprised, everything looks clean, crisp and modern, albeit the size a bit smaller than usual. Amenities are adequate, i especially like the ziplock bag with tooth brushes and 2 tubes of toothpaste, which i can reuse for future travels. WIFI was excellent in the room and generally the whole hotel. I managed to do my work without any interference. One qualm about the hotel though, some of the staff (bell & security) seems to practice double standards, favoring the foreigners and ignoring the Asians. This was tested twice when i tried to get a cab, the staff opted to help the foreigners first, even though i was first in line.

On our last day in bali we booked this hotel recommended by our driver. Im not very picky with hotel but i usually book accomodation one night then move on to another if i didnt like something, or if i dont feel comfortable. But its a diff dtory with dash, I love The hotel ambiance, designs and art decor. The room is amazing it has a hippie design i love the upside down bunny! I wished we moved to seminyak earlier.Location is great right in front of potato head walking distance in seminyak square but i recommend to hire motor bike.you get a 15 mins welcome head and shoulder massage and a cute refreshing welcome drink. Mya restaurant is right next to it where the buffet breakfast is , i recommend to book your stay with breakfast as the selections are excellent.the service is superb! Amazing staff, very helpful, always ready to assist you and you can see that they love working there.we checked out noon but our flt is midnight out of bali. Unfortunately no late check out option but they can store your baggage in the hotel for as long as we needed and was offered a shower to refresh ourselves before our flight. Id like to say thank to dash hotel. The people there made our stay enjoyable, they made sure we are comfortable during our stay the warm greetings the smile and their positive energy which radiates to everyone is just amazing. I recommend this hotel and will stay here when i come back to bali.thank you once again.
