Cleanlinesscomplaints falling: 5.2 in 100 a year ago, 2.7 now9310Strength
The hotel is unique, there are lots of photo spots, the rooms and bathrooms are clean and fragrant, there is a mini fridge too, but when I got the electric kettle it smelled of burnt plastic so I couldn't use it, I only had to walk to the Kuta tourist area, minus the parking space is difficult

Beds113Mostly good
I like the bed and pillows, as long as the sheets are changed daily.
Google, September 2026, rated 5/5 by this guest
The bed is soft and comfortable, making it easy to sink into sleep, though the walls are a bit thin (thankfully my neighbors were quiet).

It's currently in need of an interior refresh and some repairs due to its age.

Room size56Split
The main issue for me is the size of the room.
Google, October 2026, rated 4/5 by this guest
The room was small but clean and with all the thing you may need.

Rooms 1m2 for single use are really very small but everything you need there / comfy bed / friendly staff (also very kind cleaning staff, guy 2nd floor)

Quiet at nightcomplaints falling: 22.1 in 100 a year ago, 4.0 now1526Weak spot
It's relatively good value for money and very close to Kuta Beach, but the air conditioner leaks and the soundproofing is terrible; you can hear people talking outside the room.
Google, July 2026, rated 4/5 by this guest
People screaming and laughing in the middle of the night and children yelling in the pool early morning.
Google, June 2026, rated 2/5 by this guest
Unfortunately, the soundproofing in the rooms is poor, so if someone walks by or makes noise in the neighboring room, you'll hear it.
Google, December 2025, rated 4/5 by this guest
Too few mentions to judge: views, breakfast and food.

With a variety of room options to suit your budget, the only downside was that the water kettle wouldn't work, even though the hotel staff had replaced it.

The showcase refrigerator in the room wasn't cold, that's the only minus, otherwise it was okay.

Heating and air conditioning6 of 3001 in 50 reviews
Air conditioner needs cleaning, probably, as it was not as cold as I set it with the remote
Google, March 2026, rated 5/5 by this guest
The ambiance and bed is ok, fresh bedsheets, cold room, yet I personally think is time to replace the bedsheets, repair the leaking aircond, replace new towels, get rid of the weird smell from the bathroom, change the hairdryer, the television and repair the wooden shelf above the television…
