Yet again, I found myself in a hotel / inn in Poppies 1, Kuta Bali. I wil say that this will be probably the last time I stay in Poppies, not because the accommodation is poor but he manners and behaviours of the men there is becoming more and more unfriendly. Their current calls are for viagra and calis and then other rubbish, but what is worse is what they say to the girls walking up and down the street, in English or in Bahasa. None of it is nice or helps.
The traffic that seems to be constantly moving up and down it as well is getting worse, however the restaurants are great, cheap and cheerful and the places I have stayed in are also great.
AP Inn, Kedins, Pesona Beach Inn and now Masa Inn. Masa Inn is a little further up between Pesona and AP inn and almost is the most expensive yet. This was probably due to the fact that it was high season and at new year. I have already posted about Bali being full for New Year and so I guess it was a case of either put up or shut up.
Anyway, I digress.
We stayed in 2 rooms due to the limited availability of rooms. The first room was a twin bed for 550k a night which included breakfast. The room itself was very functional, great range of TV channels, free bottled water, nice clean and what looked liked recently refurbished bathroom with plenty of hot water and good pressure. No soap of any kind though. The AC was very quiet and very cold. However we were only in that room for one night and in total for about 10 hours due to being out late having fun.
The second room was 600k and it was a balinese style room, which meant for 50k extra you go a 4 poster bed with nets, and everything else already described. The best thing about the room was the outside where it was gloriously decorated balinese style.
The hotel itself is very big and fully occupied. It was on 2 levels and there were 2 pools. Reception was 24 hours and the staff were very helpful and prompt. They were also the most professional of all the places I have stayed in in Bali as they gave receipts for everything. They also asked for my passport details as that was requested by the local police and it took a fair amount telling, not explaining that I had legal status to live here and did not need to show my passport. My SIM C and my E KITAS seemed not to be enough, but eventually they yielded and it was all fine.
As normal we took the room until 6pm on our last day as we were taking the last flight out and so we had to pay 50% of the normal rate for the room, which was OK.
Overall the hotel is great, and the rooms and facilities were very impressive. I would stay there again for sure, if it was not for the fact that getting to it was a hassle walking through the vendors.

The selling of viagra and the unwanted comments are not needed and are getting out of hand.
ReplyDeleteNice report on the hotel thanx.
Wow this hotel is so beautiful! It looks very expensive too. What made you want to check out this hotel? The art work is so eye catching and detailed. Are all hotels in Indonesia this detailed with artwork? How would describe the area around this hotel? Are there people walking around? Is the weather hot, humid or cold? It seems that this place is very secure because of the passport issue and checking in with the local police. How about the people working in this facility? Do the people in this area focus on religion a lot? I just ask because the design of this hotel looks like it was inspired by their religion. I just hope that people there are not rude like those people you mentioned earlier in your blog.
