Good value hotel with terrible internet

The Deluxe Pool View room is spacious with a balcony overlooking the pool area, I stayed here for a week in September 2025. There are two large single beds joined together although they are individually made up, this is not the double bed I had expected or booked (see photo). There are no power points near the bed but there are four on the wall behind a really long desk with a stool and a large mirror behind it. The room overall is clean and tidy. The sheets on the bed are white and crisp, the bathroom is good with decent shower pressure but lacking truly hot water, you have to let it run for a good five minutes to get anything remotely resembling hot. The shower head is mounted on the wall but cannot be moved up or down so at full strength you have to stand at the other end of the shower cubicle to get wet or reduce the pressure to a trickle. Soap is provided at the sink. Shampoo and shower soap are in wall mounted dispensers within the shower area. Towels are clean and replaced with housekeeping, some can be a bit scratchy but most are soft. Housekeeping is daily when they will make your bed (not change sheets) clean up, dust, change towels and mop the floor. There is a TV in the room with nothing but local Indonesian channels. WiFi borders glacial to totally unusable in the room and borderline usable in the lobby and restaurant area so no streaming for me. Location is good and is close to most of the Kuta shops, restaurants and bars. Some great warungs in the area offering really cheap and tasty food. Good laundry nearby. Pool is nice although there are only three sun beds and little room for more due to the rooms surrounding the pool being quite close. Sun hits the pool until mid afternoon and then the pool is in shade. You can buy a breakfast at the hotel restaurant for 50,000IDR ($5AUD). Choices are Western - eggs, toast, jam, juice, coffee or tea - there is also continental or Indonesian choices available. There are salt and pepper sachets on the table, sealed but with nothing in them - weirdest thing ever. The baked beans with the western breakfast are served cold out of the can as are the chicken sausages - weird again. Could do with an extra slice of toast for the butter and jam, you get two pieces of toast with an egg for each slice but if you have both slices with your eggs there's nothing left for the jam. Coffee is from a coffee pot and there is hot (not boiling) water for tea too. The door to the balcony in my room needed to either be rehung or some of the wood shaved off as it does not fit and close properly, you have to shove it and in doing so it makes a really horrible grinding screeching noise as it closes, there is no delicate way of avoiding the noise. It’s no problem during the day but late at night or early mornings it would clearly be heard by other guests. The issues I’ve highlighted could be fixed fairly easily. If they could sort the wifi out this would be a great place to base yourself if you work online, otherwise you’d need to either have an e-sim from Airalo or a local sim card to get things done - or stay elsewhere.

Overall, it's a fairly nice, older property. It typically takes about 5 minutes for water to get hot in the shower. Power options are limited - none by the bed. Adding some USB outlets would be a great and inexpensive addition. There is a bit of a gap underneath the door leading to the balcony, and that definitely let's in noise from the pool/courtyard area. Also the potential for bugs as well although thankfully, I didn't experience any. Extra points for the safe, YouTube on the TV, and a terrific location near some of the best areas people would like to visit, and yet virtually no traffic noise.
