Trendy hotel in the heart of Seminyak, very modern and fairly new when I first visited.
THE GOOD BITS
> In the heart of Seminyak, walking distance to plenty of shops, spas, cafes, restaurants, and bars. Plenty of taxis go around all the time.
> Very modern, stylish hotel. Spacious, well-equipped trendy, elegant and comfortable room.
> Very friendly staff, from reception to security guys and cleaners.
> Free mini-bar! Only frizzy drinks and water inside, but that was enough to make me happy!
> The upper floor pool. People complain about the seats being in the shade, but I think that is really smart if you don't want to get burnt, or if you get easily burnt. So, I was happy with it!
> Good fast free Wi-Fi.
> Sixty TV channels, local and International, different languages.
> Extensive set of toiletries (besides the bottled body wash, hand wash, shampoo and conditioner). Mind, they are inside the drawers.
> Very good quality towels.
> Complementary bottled water, coffee & tea facilities (Mind, they are inside the covered drawers) and snake skin fruit plate.
> I was given an upgraded room, something that always makes me happy.
> Walking distance by plenty of awesome cafes and restaurants.
> Well communicated, and easy to get a taxi from/to to the main sights in the area.
THE DOWNSIDES
> Surrounding area is crowded, as expensive as Australia, too Westernized and touristy for my liking.
> Signs on flooring. (Mind, reception is on floor 2). There are signs around, but not immediately visible. I expected them to be beside the lifts, where they would have been most helpful, but they were a bit far from them.
> Lobby, apparently, had limited air-conditioning, so it was a bit 'stuffy'.
> I was given wrong information about walking distance to Seminyak Square, postage fees for postcards, date of release of the 500,000 rupiah deposit demanded upon check-in and timing of room payment.
