Great location, tiny rooms”
Located very close to the beach, the staff are very friendly and helpful, but the rooms are very very compact, and the tiki bar upstairs was rather quiet when we were there, although the downstairs restaurant (where breakfast is served) had pretty good live music and fair number of guests.

Great Value of Money”
The room is comfortable, clean, location is good, wifi is good, close to the Seminyak beach (less then 5 mins walk to La Plancha area), walking distance to shops, massage, bar, and restaurants, bike rental, and the staffs are very accommodating. I am very satisfied with this place. Suitable for solo travelers too.. Not to forget, they offer money exchange too. ( I believe it's safer to change the currency at the hotel compared to the money exchange shops in Bali where you need to be extra careful)

Great Location”
Nice Location just walking distance from the beach.. Nice accomodation if you only need a place to stay for the night and go out in the morning to explore bali.. they have free bikes to use.. u can also rent scooter for 60k.. the only cons is that there is a smell maybe from the toilet since we realize there is no windows or proper ventilation from the toilet.

Really nice place close to the beach”
Stayed at Grandmas for 6 nights and really enjoyed my stay. Straff is friendly, pool area is nice, close to the beach. There are plenty of restaurants in the area and if you walk for 20 min you reach seminyak square with lots of shopping and restaurants. Would recomend this place if you wanna be a little bit outside of the city, watch nice sunsets at the beach and stay in a really clean and modern hotel.

Grandma's is a very well located, clean and has a very friendly atmosphere. ”
I stay at Grandma's a few times a year for a few weeks at a time. It's very close to all that Seminyak has to offer and only a few hundred meters from the beach.
Great restaurant attached to it with very friendly staff.
Hotel staff are very friendly and always willing to try and make your stay a very enjoyable one.
Definitely will keep going to this hotel.

Close to beach, affordable and comfy ”
I stayed here 4 years ago & was happy to return again. Still good value for such a close location to the beach. Happy to see some updates to the restaurant & it’s menu & hotel decor. The restaurant “Miura” attached to the hotel where you get your breakfast, had live music nearly every night. Beds are comfy enough & so are the pillows. TV in the room has a good variety with many English options, water pressure is good too. They could use some new towels for bathroom. Rooms are a little on the small side, but given the under 3 mins walk to beach, it’s worth it for the low cost. Would stay again, but prob skip the breakfast as an add on since I’m vegan & it’s not really worth it for me. Thanks for another great/affordable stay Grandmas!

I stay at GrandMas in Sem.inyak quite often. If you want to be in Seminyak and are not looking for luxury or villa lodging, GrandMas is a great value. Check in, drop your bags and walk 5 minutes to Double Six Beach!

Good hotel but just OK location”
The hotel is a small room, but clean. It's really all you need if you are not spending a lot of time in the room which in Bali you shouldn't be!
The staff is bend over backwards helpful.. Just wonderful and friendly people--- like the rest of the Balinese! The morning breakfast is limited, but substantial and delicious. There is a small pool off the restaurant.
The beach is a five-minute walk away and plenty of restaurants and minmarts. If you are gay, this is where most of Bali's gay bars are located. They are all clumped together but the Mixwell was the most fun!
All in all, I would not personally stay in this area again. It is the northern end of the tourist area. If you are just into the beach etc, then by all means this is a good choice, but I love to get into the culture of a place and this is not the location to do it. My maxim for Bali is "The further north you go, the happier you will be!" The Indonesian food was not exactly the same as in the "less traveled" areas where pure Indo and Balinese foods dominate! Also the price were 2-3 times higher, which aggravated me to no end. For nasi goreng (fried rice) you pay about 45 -60,000 IDR in the area while outside it is 15-25,000 IDR, for example.
So, in short, if you just want a no-hassle beach experience, stay at this hotel. It really is a wonderful place.
If you want to have a better opportunity to get into the culture of Bali, stay in Ubud or anyplace north of this area.
Recommend: Jatiwih terraced rice fields (need 2-3 hours here.. photographer lover, more time)! Lake Batir (The Cave Hotel overlooking the lake. In the sunrise the fog lifts off the lake with an astoundingly beautiful display)! Ubud if you are into crafts. And the last night, to go Uluwatu for the sunset and view the touristy but impressively hypnotic kecak dance. Bali is a joy for anyone's taste. I will do it differently next time, so be aware of what you want out of the experience and research!

Amazing time at Grandmas”
Wow! I would recommend and go again! The rooms are small (keep in mind if you are claustrophobic!) but clean. The staff is profesionnal, pleasant and go out of their way to help their clients. I especially enjoyed eating at the restaurant. I had waiters coming to me every two minutes making sure I had everything i need. One of the waiters brought me lime leaves from home when i told him it was hard to get in Canada. Good value for money!

I've stayed at least 6-7 times now. Always on my own though as I think it would be too cramped for a couple or friends sharing a twin room. It's a great little room. Clean and tidy and in a perfect location. Couple minute walk to the beach.

Great value and great location”
We loved our stay at grandmas. There was a group of 6 (3 couples) and none of us had any complaints.
The bar/restaurant at the front of the hotel was a great meeting point for us too.
Location is great, just a 2 minute walk to the beach and about 20mins to Seminyak square (or a very cheap taxi ride).
Value for money was superb, so cheap.
Would stay again if looking for a cheap getaway.

Good for budget travel”
The hotel has a good location near Seminyak beach, which makes it perfect to reach for the beach lounges or the restaurants and bars on the other side. Staff were okay, nothing out of the ordinary. Had breakfast there once “Nasi Goreng” which is supposed to be a classic, and was not impressive. Tried Balinese massage at their spa and it was good, only of the outside noise is not coming through the treatment room. I would stay there again just for the sake of being budget friendly

Music in restaurant”
I stay at Grandmas twice a year for about 2 weeks and everything is always fantastic, except the loudness of the music which is played in the restaurant every night until 11pm. I had to change rooms this time, which stopped most of the noise. If I had not been able to do so, I would not return to stay at Grandmas, even though I have been coming there for quite a few years. The music in the restaurant being played until 11pm every night is in my eyes a big problem and devalues the stay at Grandmas. If the music stopped earlier, maybe around 9.30pm, it would be much better.

Good Location”
Grandma's was located right near Seminyak Beach, which was SUPER convenient. My room was small but functional. I did note a couple of black smudges on my sheets (if I hadn't arrived at 4:40 a.m. I would have complained). But I did note that beds were totally stripped when I peeked into one being cleaned, so that was reassuring. Breakfast is served in the restaurant and I thought it was really good (good coffee). I tried the spa and my treatment was inexpensive but only okay (another girl came into the room and was grabbing stuff and making a lot of noise (I was there in 2013 and my treatment was much better). I used the laundry service and it was good. I was on the ground floor, so I didn't have a deck (I would request higher up in future). Over all, I would recommend it for a short stay, but I think, comparatively, it could be a little cheaper, based on what you get.

Great for a cheap and closeby trip to Seminyak”
This was my second time staying here.
Although the rooms are small, they are clean, bright and have all the necessaties. If you're travelling from the UK, Grandmas is very much like Travelodge or Premier Inn.
Breakfast was good, choice of full, variety of eggs or pancakes.
2 minutes from the beach, 2 minutes from the main strip; the perfect location!
Staff also are very helpful. Would definitely recommend!

We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. We rented a bike which the receptionist assisted us for IDR 60,000 per day. Having a bike is highly recommended as it is easier to go to the hip cafes and hot spots. The hotel is very near to the beach and we walked to La Plancha.

Travelled to Bali on my own this time and all i was looking for was a place to sleep that is close to the beach. Grandma Seminyak was perfect. Only about 5 mins walk (just straight down) to the beach and the room layout was perfect. Bed, desk, bathroom situated in a way that wasn't weird, but simple. Also with a sliding window to get fresh air come in. Breakfast on site was only Rp. 40.000 per meal and it was delicious. Would definitely stay here again. If you are a family, you probably need to get a bigger room though

Value Accomodations ”
For the location and price that we paid, it was beyond value for money.
It was a few steps from the beach and a good shopping area.
Great cafe and food.
Pool area should be improved though. Pool area is not private because of its location - in between the cafe and front office.
Check in and check out was a breeze. Staff was generally helpful but not consistent. They would open the taxi door but would leave you alone with your luggage until you're at the front office.
Summary: will be definitely go back if I had the same budget and type of trip in mind.

On our last day we were supposed to check out by 12pm, I was at a cooking course till 1 and my boyfriend was ill so still in the room. They allowed him to stay until 2pm at no extra cost, and then book an extra night at half the online price. The location was perfect, pool was lovely and refreshing. Small touches like fridge, room service and bottle opener in the bathroom (perfect for bintang) made our stay way beyond our expectations. Would recommend to anyone.

I've been several times already in Grandmas Seminyak. The hotel has a good price value, the location is great. A few hundred meters to the beach, lots of restaurants and supermarkets nearby plus plenty of shops and boutiques in walking distance.
The staff is super friendly, breakfast is yummy, rooms are small but compared to other hotels quite clean. The restaurant is a bit pricey and i wouldnt reccommend local food there but the salads, tapas and other stuff is worth its price.
Grandmas is in Seminyak my first choice.

Pleasent stay in this hotel with amazing staff”
excellent city hotel with comfy rooms and excellent staff. Their pool should be a bit bigger and a bit secluded, everything else is just perfect for the price.
Highly recommended!
Great location, tiny rooms”
Located very close to the beach, the staff are very friendly and helpful, but the rooms are very very compact, and the tiki bar upstairs was rather quiet when we were there, although the downstairs restaurant (where breakfast is served) had pretty good live music and fair number of guests.
Great Value of Money”
The room is comfortable, clean, location is good, wifi is good, close to the Seminyak beach (less then 5 mins walk to La Plancha area), walking distance to shops, massage, bar, and restaurants, bike rental, and the staffs are very accommodating. I am very satisfied with this place. Suitable for solo travelers too.. Not to forget, they offer money exchange too. ( I believe it's safer to change the currency at the hotel compared to the money exchange shops in Bali where you need to be extra careful)
Great Location”
Nice Location just walking distance from the beach.. Nice accomodation if you only need a place to stay for the night and go out in the morning to explore bali.. they have free bikes to use.. u can also rent scooter for 60k.. the only cons is that there is a smell maybe from the toilet since we realize there is no windows or proper ventilation from the toilet.
Really nice place close to the beach”
Stayed at Grandmas for 6 nights and really enjoyed my stay. Straff is friendly, pool area is nice, close to the beach. There are plenty of restaurants in the area and if you walk for 20 min you reach seminyak square with lots of shopping and restaurants. Would recomend this place if you wanna be a little bit outside of the city, watch nice sunsets at the beach and stay in a really clean and modern hotel.
Grandma's is a very well located, clean and has a very friendly atmosphere. ”
I stay at Grandma's a few times a year for a few weeks at a time. It's very close to all that Seminyak has to offer and only a few hundred meters from the beach. Great restaurant attached to it with very friendly staff. Hotel staff are very friendly and always willing to try and make your stay a very enjoyable one. Definitely will keep going to this hotel.
Close to beach, affordable and comfy ”
I stayed here 4 years ago & was happy to return again. Still good value for such a close location to the beach. Happy to see some updates to the restaurant & it’s menu & hotel decor. The restaurant “Miura” attached to the hotel where you get your breakfast, had live music nearly every night. Beds are comfy enough & so are the pillows. TV in the room has a good variety with many English options, water pressure is good too. They could use some new towels for bathroom. Rooms are a little on the small side, but given the under 3 mins walk to beach, it’s worth it for the low cost. Would stay again, but prob skip the breakfast as an add on since I’m vegan & it’s not really worth it for me. Thanks for another great/affordable stay Grandmas!
Nice place”
Grandma's plus hotel was really nice. Agus welcomed us gently and speaking a little bit of Spanish. The hotel is very close from the beach and very comfortable and clean. Nice beds, showers, Aircon and staff. A little bit noisy until 11, but in my room I didn't heard nothing.
Travel hotel that is a great value for the money”
I stay at GrandMas in Sem.inyak quite often. If you want to be in Seminyak and are not looking for luxury or villa lodging, GrandMas is a great value. Check in, drop your bags and walk 5 minutes to Double Six Beach!
Good hotel but just OK location”
The hotel is a small room, but clean. It's really all you need if you are not spending a lot of time in the room which in Bali you shouldn't be! The staff is bend over backwards helpful.. Just wonderful and friendly people--- like the rest of the Balinese! The morning breakfast is limited, but substantial and delicious. There is a small pool off the restaurant. The beach is a five-minute walk away and plenty of restaurants and minmarts. If you are gay, this is where most of Bali's gay bars are located. They are all clumped together but the Mixwell was the most fun! All in all, I would not personally stay in this area again. It is the northern end of the tourist area. If you are just into the beach etc, then by all means this is a good choice, but I love to get into the culture of a place and this is not the location to do it. My maxim for Bali is "The further north you go, the happier you will be!" The Indonesian food was not exactly the same as in the "less traveled" areas where pure Indo and Balinese foods dominate! Also the price were 2-3 times higher, which aggravated me to no end. For nasi goreng (fried rice) you pay about 45 -60,000 IDR in the area while outside it is 15-25,000 IDR, for example. So, in short, if you just want a no-hassle beach experience, stay at this hotel. It really is a wonderful place. If you want to have a better opportunity to get into the culture of Bali, stay in Ubud or anyplace north of this area. Recommend: Jatiwih terraced rice fields (need 2-3 hours here.. photographer lover, more time)! Lake Batir (The Cave Hotel overlooking the lake. In the sunrise the fog lifts off the lake with an astoundingly beautiful display)! Ubud if you are into crafts. And the last night, to go Uluwatu for the sunset and view the touristy but impressively hypnotic kecak dance. Bali is a joy for anyone's taste. I will do it differently next time, so be aware of what you want out of the experience and research!
Very good”
Very good hotel around seminyak Area. Near seminyak beach. I know this hotel 2 years ago. Its 3 times i stayed here when i come to bali. Thats place have a good price, clean, good service, have 24 hours service in front of desk at lobby, have miura bar and grill with live music. Its nice.
Amazing time at Grandmas”
Wow! I would recommend and go again! The rooms are small (keep in mind if you are claustrophobic!) but clean. The staff is profesionnal, pleasant and go out of their way to help their clients. I especially enjoyed eating at the restaurant. I had waiters coming to me every two minutes making sure I had everything i need. One of the waiters brought me lime leaves from home when i told him it was hard to get in Canada. Good value for money!
See my previous review”
No different to my initial review, I would recommend this little gem to anyone who likes the simpler things in life and/or is budget restrained. You could do heaps worse than stay at this hotel, I had absolutely no problems at all and in fact I enjoyed my stay here and would come back again.
Best hotel for that price ”
I've stayed at least 6-7 times now. Always on my own though as I think it would be too cramped for a couple or friends sharing a twin room. It's a great little room. Clean and tidy and in a perfect location. Couple minute walk to the beach.
Great value and great location”
We loved our stay at grandmas. There was a group of 6 (3 couples) and none of us had any complaints. The bar/restaurant at the front of the hotel was a great meeting point for us too. Location is great, just a 2 minute walk to the beach and about 20mins to Seminyak square (or a very cheap taxi ride). Value for money was superb, so cheap. Would stay again if looking for a cheap getaway.
Great location, clean and helpful staff”
Would definitely recommend this hotel for great value for money. Very clean with all amenities needed. Staff were helpful and attentive. Great live music at night time. Close to the beach, day spas and restaurant. Would not hesitate to stay again when looking for value for money.
Towel have stain and toilet bowl not properly clean”
When to the massage twice. 1st nightwas good. The 2nd time not very please as the staff keep using her elbow for almost the hold session. If nv ask to use hand think she will just use elbow for my hold session of massage.

Grandmas was absolutely fabulous and we couldnt recommend the staff highly enough especially Ani who always went over and above for us . We will be returning to this hotel and would also tell all our friends how great our stay was

great spot”
Very friendly staff and a great location in Seminyak. Rooms are always clean. Stay here quite regularly throughout the year. Very nice restaurant attatched to the hotel also.
Excellent”
Close to the Beach, very convenient.
Good for budget travel”
The hotel has a good location near Seminyak beach, which makes it perfect to reach for the beach lounges or the restaurants and bars on the other side. Staff were okay, nothing out of the ordinary. Had breakfast there once “Nasi Goreng” which is supposed to be a classic, and was not impressive. Tried Balinese massage at their spa and it was good, only of the outside noise is not coming through the treatment room. I would stay there again just for the sake of being budget friendly
Music in restaurant”
I stay at Grandmas twice a year for about 2 weeks and everything is always fantastic, except the loudness of the music which is played in the restaurant every night until 11pm. I had to change rooms this time, which stopped most of the noise. If I had not been able to do so, I would not return to stay at Grandmas, even though I have been coming there for quite a few years. The music in the restaurant being played until 11pm every night is in my eyes a big problem and devalues the stay at Grandmas. If the music stopped earlier, maybe around 9.30pm, it would be much better.
Good Location”
Grandma's was located right near Seminyak Beach, which was SUPER convenient. My room was small but functional. I did note a couple of black smudges on my sheets (if I hadn't arrived at 4:40 a.m. I would have complained). But I did note that beds were totally stripped when I peeked into one being cleaned, so that was reassuring. Breakfast is served in the restaurant and I thought it was really good (good coffee). I tried the spa and my treatment was inexpensive but only okay (another girl came into the room and was grabbing stuff and making a lot of noise (I was there in 2013 and my treatment was much better). I used the laundry service and it was good. I was on the ground floor, so I didn't have a deck (I would request higher up in future). Over all, I would recommend it for a short stay, but I think, comparatively, it could be a little cheaper, based on what you get.
Great for a cheap and closeby trip to Seminyak”
This was my second time staying here. Although the rooms are small, they are clean, bright and have all the necessaties. If you're travelling from the UK, Grandmas is very much like Travelodge or Premier Inn. Breakfast was good, choice of full, variety of eggs or pancakes. 2 minutes from the beach, 2 minutes from the main strip; the perfect location! Staff also are very helpful. Would definitely recommend!
Exceptional”
I have been staying here for the past few years. My friends and I are the kind of traveler who leave in the morning and come back at night. Grandmas Hotel meets the purpose. Clean, simple, good location and the staff are always very welcoming. WiFi? Do I need to go online all the time during my vacation? ;)
Great location and option for solo traveller”
Rooms aren't big but totally fine and modern if you are travelling along. Good value for money. Breakfast was average so I wouldn't hurry to get that included but location is awesome. I would stay here again for sure.
Good Value”
Very clean rooms, good beds and pillows. Air-con worked perfectly and staff were faultless. Room fridge a tad small and not that cold. Bar/restaurant beside hotel trade as a separate entity so you cannot put drinks and meals on your room tab. I would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to all.
Good!”
It's enough for you to stay here. The room was small but what you can get what you need as fridge, dress's hanger, and safety box. It was good for tou who have a plan outside all day long, you can feel safe to keep your belingings at hotel
Great central location”
We arrived at 1am and all was fine. Staff helpful and room was as advertised. Small but met what we needed. Stayed here a few days and extended by a few too. Seminyak is big so helps to hire a scooter as taxis aren't cheap. It is close to the beach (walking distance) and lots of great warungs.
Good value Hotel”
Grandmas is great value. Well located, easy to access, good staff and neat and tidy rooms. The bar area and resturant was also very good. Breakfast was included in the cost of my accommodation, which I found to be great quality which added to the value of my stay. I am happy to recommend the hotel and would stay here again.
It was a great one nite stay...price was high but this is high season and it was recommended to me ”
The staff goes overboard to assist and they are very cordial there English and comprehension needs some work but it's important that they try there best...and they do...wanted to stay longer but the price was too much...they should get handheld showers as the current ones are rusty and my shower was a cold one...but oh well you can't have everything...overall it it is a nice place to rest
Value for money for short stay”
We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. We rented a bike which the receptionist assisted us for IDR 60,000 per day. Having a bike is highly recommended as it is easier to go to the hip cafes and hot spots. The hotel is very near to the beach and we walked to La Plancha. Aircond seemed to be not well functioning as it is too slow.
Good nice Hotel”
Clean, friendly staff, nice rooms, quiet and next to the beach and all restaurants and Shops. Breakfast is tasty and a nice idea choose a menu but the portions are very small, is not worth it to book with.You can hear in the night a lot of doors closing from other rooms.
As always, I had a great time staying at Grandmas in Seminyak. Staff is friendly and very helpful.”
Closing of room doors late at night can get quite noisy as it is hard to shut doors quietly., would be great if that could get improved.. Music from front bar/ restaurant luckily stops at 10pm, as music is quite loud.
Fantastic value for money. Easy access to the beach. Great service. Great food. Clean”
This is a budget hotel with a difference as the service and attention to detail rated it higher. The rooms are quite small but clean and quite adequate. The inclusive breakfasts were lovely, with variety each day with Indonesian and European choices. All the staff were attentive and friendly. Rooms were cleaned and beds made every day. Live music each night. Close to the beach. We will definitely return to this hotel as we had a lovely time there.
Noisy room with friendly staffs, and good location”
Over all it's good but they put me on the ground floor which is opposite to the dinning area so there is a live band performance I can clearly hear the music from my room( which is every night) you can also hear the door bang if someone is closing the door. and the air con leak from the first few mins every time when you power on. Staffs are friendly indeed and good location if they put you on the ground floor you may need to consider about it
Budget hotel”
Grandma's is a budget hotel. Great if your you're not staying long. Though strategically the location is great. You can take a couple of minutes walk from restaurants and a mini market. Great thing about this hotel is it is near pantai beach where you can chill and have a cocktail. Overall my stay is average. What else do you expect in budget hotel.
Great hotel”
Great location right near the beach, though a bit further away from some of the places we wanted to go in Seminyak. Staff friendly, room clean, very comfortable bed! The restaurant was really good too.
Good all round”
Affordable accommodation which is situated 500m from the beach and close enough to main part of seminyak to walk to. Pool is kinda on the small side but us ok. Only negative is for the restaurant that is fairly slow and seems to run out of things way too often.
Perfect location, perfect room for solo travel”
Travelled to Bali on my own this time and all i was looking for was a place to sleep that is close to the beach. Grandma Seminyak was perfect. Only about 5 mins walk (just straight down) to the beach and the room layout was perfect. Bed, desk, bathroom situated in a way that wasn't weird, but simple. Also with a sliding window to get fresh air come in. Breakfast on site was only Rp. 40.000 per meal and it was delicious. Would definitely stay here again. If you are a family, you probably need to get a bigger room though
Value Accomodations ”
For the location and price that we paid, it was beyond value for money. It was a few steps from the beach and a good shopping area. Great cafe and food. Pool area should be improved though. Pool area is not private because of its location - in between the cafe and front office. Check in and check out was a breeze. Staff was generally helpful but not consistent. They would open the taxi door but would leave you alone with your luggage until you're at the front office. Summary: will be definitely go back if I had the same budget and type of trip in mind.
Perfect for my short stay”
Reviews were what drew me to this hotel, apparently only new. It has a nice atmosphere, all the mod cons aircon, tv, wifi (although kept cutting out) staff were lovely and helpful. Location very handy, a few shops, money changers and restaurants just at your doorstep. I only stayed for a couple of nights, so it was perfect but wish I stayed longer. Wouldn't hesitate to go back again for my next trip.
A great choice”
Staff were helpful from the second we walked in. Always plenty on hand to help with any enquiry. On our last day we were supposed to check out by 12pm, I was at a cooking course till 1 and my boyfriend was ill so still in the room. They allowed him to stay until 2pm at no extra cost, and then book an extra night at half the online price. The location was perfect, pool was lovely and refreshing. Small touches like fridge, room service and bottle opener in the bathroom (perfect for bintang) made our stay way beyond our expectations. Would recommend to anyone. Such good value for money especially if you book ahead.
Good value, good location”
I've been several times already in Grandmas Seminyak. The hotel has a good price value, the location is great. A few hundred meters to the beach, lots of restaurants and supermarkets nearby plus plenty of shops and boutiques in walking distance. The staff is super friendly, breakfast is yummy, rooms are small but compared to other hotels quite clean. The restaurant is a bit pricey and i wouldnt reccommend local food there but the salads, tapas and other stuff is worth its price. Grandmas is in Seminyak my first choice.
Great clean hotel”
Great location budget hotel close to all types of facilities including the beach, restaurants and shops. Breakfast was very good and the staff in the beauty salon were lovely. Looking forward to the next Grandma's hotels being built in other areas of Bali
