The price is great for what it is, location is right where we were wanting to be, and the breakfast was better than expected... some pros and cons:
Pros:
- Located right in the heart of Kuta yet down a little side street so it's not that noisy. We were there a couple days for shopping, so being right next to all the shops was ideal, and the beach is basically two blocks away.
- Breakfast buffet was sufficient and better than expected: eggs station saved the day, coffee notso good, but overall, tasty and good enough to fuel up for the day.
- Staff is very friendly and helpful: perhaps too much so, but can't really complain about that.
Cons:
- The room wasn't really that nice, but what do you expect for this price? Bed was clean and bathroom was fine. Very damp smelling when we first walked in though, and we had to open the windows in order to breathe.
- Loaded with tour groups: mostly Chinese and Indian, so one morning breakfast was over-crowded and these groups can be kinda loud when arriving and departing.
- If you're looking for a relaxing vacation in Bali, then Kuta isn't the right place, though resorts in the area might give you enough of a buffer to escape the madness: though quiet, this place is not one of those venues. This place is really in the thick of it.
- Some areas on the rooftop are still under construction.
- Pool looks dirty - wouldn't recommend swimming in it, so don't count that among the amenities.
