the room is clean and comfortable and the staffs are nice and helpful. Sometimes the smell of cooking gets into the room. No one picks me up from the Airport. It might be the coordination problem though I reserve the transfer service.

Good environment, friendly staff and clean No life, swimming pool is too small I enjoy to stay at Bali Rani. This hotel located at Kuta town area, all stall, shopping mall and restaurant are nearby. Although hotel room is a bit smaller but overall the environment is acceptable. Walk 5 minute will reach Kuta beach, this is another reason I like it.

Location is the main attraction The Bali Rani is well located and within walking distance from the busy Kuta area/beach. Also near Discovery Mall and Water Bom which is very convenient. Many restaurants and shops nearby. Breakfast has good variations. Staff is very friendly and professional. Grounds and pool kept very clean and tropical to create resort like atmosphere.

In consideration of the location, tidiness, and comfortableness, the rate is reasonably priced. The location is at the central. Very close to shopping mall and the Kuta Beach. If you dont not expect to stay at hotel for long time, it is a good hotel to stay, everything you need is at the touch of your hand. The most famous Kuta Beach is just 5 mins walk from the Hotel passing through the Discovery Mall.

Good internet access, it allowed me to work when I needed to.
Good pool, good rooms. Good front desk service.
Good housekeeping.
Prompt room service.
Breakfast isn't too bad either. Internet access is just a little bit over priced.
Too many mosquitoes in the rooms etc.. There was a problem one morning with breakfast and the fact that the waitress had put someone else's things on the table which had my things on it and when I approached her - she didn't fix the problem but instead left it to me which was a bit annoying. They should spray the mosquito stuff that other hotels spray to keep the mozzies away, My room had at least 15 one night. I had to buy the mozzie burning repellent and keep them out.
Those are minor issues to me however. I believe I will be returning back to Bali Rani again.
Travel tip : Great tattoo place nearby...owned by an Australian...Bali Ink..

Friendly staff, tasty food, close to department store and markets. Very close to the Waterbom park. Room had a musty smell (could have done with some airing out)and I bought some incense to give it a nice scent. No safety deposit box in the room, lumpy pillows. I found Bali Rani to be quite basic but suited my needs for the four-night stay. It was convenient and so close to everything. Very friendly staff.
Shopping Tip : Visiting the dept store has some good bargains and cooler to shop if you get sick of the haggling and the heat.

Location is very convenient. Across road from shopping mall, walking distance to roadside shops and all types of eating joints. Lovely Lotus pond. Staff very willing to please. Rooms are a bit old but still clean. Pool is smaller than it looks on pictures, but sufficient, I guess. Arrived late at night, so location good as we could get a good meal at one of the many roadside joints still open. Near 24 hour minimarts where we could drinks and snacks. Contacted the hotel to check on cost of airport transfer - they picked us up free of charge and although we stayed only 1 night, they obliged by sending us to our next destination without ant hesitation - that's what I call a service culture. Breakfast is good enough. Only thing is that the beach is across a road and behind other buildings which takes away the appeal of the place.
Hotel Feature Tip : Email the hotel with arrival details, they will send a car to pick you up and maybe even send you off. You can save on the expensive airport transfers offered online and the insecurity of taking a local taxi.

Swimming pool is nice and the lotus pond is quite refreshing. The non-smoking rooms smells terrible and they did not even change the sheets. Overall the rooms r a bit run down. The location of the hotel is fine (near Kuta town center) but the rooms r a bit run down and even the non-smoking rooms smells 'cigarette'. Sheets and pillow cases r not changed when we checked in. Have to request for the change the next day. The breakfast provided is nothing to shout about. Should have more varieties instead of the same old thing for the duration of my stay.
The staff r very helpful and cheerful. But the cleaners do not give us the 2 bottles of mineral water daily. They just topped it up to 2. The management should look into it.
Shopping Tip : Opposite discovery mall (but a bit on the high side) and walking distance to Matahari (a better option for thrifty shoppers). A better place would be the Legian area (ground zero). Lot's of shops there but u need to negotiate more on the price.

Nice and shady pool with trees around. In front of The Centro Shopping Mall, a perfect location for branded shopping. The room is small and a bit running down, need refurbishment. The room is not value for money. The hotel staff is friendly and polite. They still manage to arrange for airport transfer though I book the hotel less than 24 hours! (Agoda is really efficient and reliable). The room is dampy and a bit running down. Need refurbishment. The breakfast is just fine. Variety wise, just ok. Taste wise, not bad. It's next to a 24 hours restaurants. Very convenient location.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Rent a bike at IDR50,000 is really fun. You may sightsee every corners of Tuban, Kuta, Legian and Seminyak area by your own. Getting a cab is tedious. Do not miss the experience.

dirty pool, dirty room and very very dirty bathroom. We stay there 1 night only but if let me choose again i won't stay there.Pay a bit more money to get a nice hotel. If you're budget traveler, i guess you can find somewhere cheaper and 10times better than this hotel.

Good location
Friendly staff Too hard pillows
Limited choice for breakfast buffet
Situated in the center of Kuta, this hotel is just a few steps from Kuta beach and close to many restaurants and bars. A good place to enjoy the night life at the busy Kuta. The hotel can make it better by adding some variety to its too simple breakfast buffet. Overall, it offers good value for money.
Travel tip : You should change money at the street shops. They offer better rates than those at the airport.

Decent location, good pool. Certain staff were rude, less than accommodating, and some rude & lazy. Management is at fault here. Overall, the hotel was decent but I would not particularly stay here again as the staff made us feel not so welcome. This is shocking in a poor economy but may be indicative of poor management and/or poor service culture. Thailand customer service is much better. The value for the money was not particularly good. I would not return based on the poor staff attitude and service. Please note that the Rani Hotel, just down the street, shares the same owner but is slightly better in condition.
Travel tip : Try other hotels in the area if you can.

We liked the customer service of the Hotel. Everyone was so friendly. The Hotel had a nice outlet, good Breakfast and even Internet Cafe. For Kuta's Relations it was a 4 star Hotel. The Hotel was right in the heart of Kuta and great shopping. They was fully security at the Hotel entry for the cars going in and out. We didn't like the room. It smelled moldi and the walls were not very clean. We found lizards in our room. Also the room was small. For our relations it was a 2 star room but for the rest we give 4 star. It was quite an experience for us as we went the first time to Bali. The Hotel is right in the heart of Kuta and great shopping opportunities all around. If you like to bargain hunt and you don't mind the traffic and noises in the streets, than this is the place to go. The Hotel stuff is extremly friendly and food is very good. You even find Restaurants and the Internet as part of the Hotel. The Outlet of the Hotel is very nice however the rooms are quite small and smell. The good thing however is that the room have aircondition. Beds are clean and comfortable. Pools size ok and transport opportunities available at all times. Should you prefer a more realaxing area on the beach with more luxury I would recommend Nusa Dua. We defently are going to come back.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : It's worse to go to a day trip that takes you to places like the Tempel and Vulcano. Also to recommend a Tour on an Elephant. Make sure you find a good tour guide that is making you a good price.

Walking distance to food & shopping - especially DVDs!
Performance at entrance to Discovery Plaza shopping centre Mosquitoes in room! Even after hotel staff came to spray mosquito repellant!
Floor a bit sticky...tap/wash basin not well cleaned Bali was a good experience. If you're looking for action (shopping, surfing, night life)Kuta is the place to stay. Food is not a problem - there's fast food, fine dining, hawker food (stayed away from that as I didn't want to risk any tummy probs.). Can get whatever you desire! However where shopping is concerned, one has to bargain, bargain & bargain!!! On the whole, it was a good holiday. Will definitely go to Bali again but this time I will stay at somewhere less busy!
Shopping Tip : DVDs...wide selection of musicals at Kuta
