I recommend you DON'T let the photos of this so-called hotel as true. I was so surprised that it had celebrated its 11th year birthday while we were there last week!! The hotel is falling to pieces. The toilet stuffed up and water overflowed all over the bathroom - that took them 5 hours to fix, then they were going to leave the mess until I freaked out. The complementary brekky is monotonous. The staff are very nice and try to do their best, but there are only one or two on duty, so it isn't their fault that we have to wait, wait, and wait. The television has no English speaking channels, but that didn't matter because the static/reception is so bad that it's unwatchable anyway. The bedding was never changed - yes, I have a secret way of noting this, and also the same with the towels, which are just folded up again. The pool lounges are wooden with no padding. There's about 7 'loungers', yet we only received a pool towel on one occasion, the rest of the time we had the grey/white 'cardboard' towels that were also supplied in the bathroom. There is one DVD player for the whole hotel. Wifi is in the restaurant only. Room service was quick enough. It's just a boring hotel and I'd rate it at generously at 2*. Not good for elderly or young children because of the slippery stairs to the upper floor. To sum this hotel up, I would say it lacks any sort finesse or attention to detail. Would we return again - definitely not!

We were well aware that the hotel was down a side street, but not feel it was dangerous. We were close to the minimart for supplies, water, medical supplies and carla day spa (big thumbs up). It wasn’t noisy and was tucked away from the main street.

Although we did have a few mishaps in the beginning we eventually had a nice stay. We were first placed in a room 104 but was told the occupants extended their stay another week and we were offered another room. We were moved to room 108, but on inspection I noticed there was no fridge and we required one due to our medication. They later told us that we could have 104 since the occupants have left. We stayed in 104 for one night but had to move again as they were renovating next door and the smell of lead paint on the walls gave my wife and myself headaches. They tried moving us to room 108 again and I said to the male concierge that it had no fridge. He asked another staff member to check the room and on returning he said there was a fridge. Disbelieving this, I went and inspected the room only to find that the room did not have a fridge and when I questioned the male staff member he said he knew that there wasn’t a fridge.

They later upgraded us to the pool room. Seemed well until we settled in, only to find out that there was no hot water and that the tv wasn’t working. This was later remedied but it felt like a massive ask, to ask them to fix this.

Generally the staff in the restaurant and the lady staff members at the front counter were very helpful and friendly. Service score would have been higher if we didn’t have the mishaps.

All the rooms were a good size, air conditioned and had plenty of wardrobe space. (doors were a bit fiddly) The King size bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was clean and tidy. Pool and restaurant just outside was fantastic and very inviting.

All in all a fantastic tucked away hotel.

we found this hotel to be quiet and peaceful and just the place for our visit this time. The rooms were large, the bed comfortable and even wifi in the rooms most days. We had a pool view room number 115. Have been to bali many times so the mentari was perfect for us to just jump in a taxi and visit our favourite places. we normally stay right in the middle of kuta. A small walk out of the hotel there are plenty of resturants and a stroll to the beach, i use a stick and these walks were easy to do. The pool is fabulous only suggestion i could make to management is, there is only one pool recliner without arms and when you have mobility probs its hard to sit on the end of a chair and shimmy back or forward to try to get out. the one time i did my hubby had to pull me out. Am sure a couple more of the recliners without arms would be appreciated by us older guests as it was hard to get the only chair there. We ate out most nights as unfortunately the resturant is not quite up there compared with other places we stayed. Sometimes you are just after a club sammie or a burger and not wanting to venture out at night or lunch. Ate once there and once only that was disappointing resturant staff need to up the anti a lil. Apart from that the mentari is fantastic we loved it and will most definately be going back there again. Front desk staff can not do enough for you they are fabulous. Also management i must compliment your driver for pick up and drop off at airport, what a friendly guy and great english we loved both our trips with him. Thanks again mentari staff for a wonderful 2 weeks we spent with you. Look forward to seeing you all again soon.

We stayed in this hotel many times and every time we went to Bali which is 2 - 3 times a year. Great staff, nice garden, nice room and large swimming pool. Close to the beach and restaurants. Staff are always remember guest by name and always greet guests every time they see you walking pass or just having a meal at the restaurant. Also free wifi for staying guests. This hotel provide a complementary airport pick up and drop off. Overall my stay has been enjoyable every time and never anything to complaint about. I would recommend this hotel to anyone that want to stay in Sanur area.
