“Okay for one night or if you spend most of the time elsewhere.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 December 2010

With a change of flight schedules, we needed to find an extra night somewhere before heading to Ubud. We were offered a package at this hotel through our agent.
We arrived mid afternoon, checked-in and were soon off to our room. You certainly won't get excited as you walk through the doors. This is budget accommodation with no frills.
The decor is dated, along with linen, towels and fittings. The television showed snow on all channels, but as this was our only night at the hotel, we couldn't be bothered having someone tinker away in our room trying to get it going.
The bathroom tended to make my skin crawl. It would never have been a beauty to behold - a strange colour of blue, which is now dull and grimy.
I think what got to us most of all was how mean things seemed to be at this hotel. No real milk is ever used it seems, only powdered. At breakfast, I asked what juices they had and was told orange only. It was orange cordial. The breakfast would have to rate as the worst food we have ever had in Bali....pancakes are always something to look forward to, but the one I was presented with at breakast, would have sunk the Titanic on its own...a horrendous, doughy bleak excuse for a banana pancake.
There are no brollies in your room to help you get to the restaurant or reception without being drowned enroute and this is if you manage to negotiate the awful up and down jumble of steps and broken paving.
We both woke early with terrible back aches on a mattress which seemed to have been made around the time the Titanic went down. Thank goodness we only had one night on this bed, as we knew the next night would have been torture.
All in all, this little hotel is in desperate need of a complete overhaul...well it would need bulldozing I believe. There are signs of wear and tear all over and lots of water damage evident in the ceilings.
Again, as with most places in Bali, the staff were lovely, including the young trainees who were learning the ropes when we were there.
I would recommend this hotel for those on a budget and who plan to spend most of their days touring and seeing the sights and who are really just looking for somewhere to sleep (hopefully without a backache) and store their gear.

“Great place to stay - if you're not loud-mouthed, rude, crude bogan”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 November 2010

people found this review helpful

This is a quiet, basic hotel with wonderful staff. Recommended for seniors, families, well-behaved youngsters, couples (young and old). Pool cleaned daily, rooms done out daily. A bit time worn but, for the reasonable tariff, well worth the money. If you are are cashed-up-bogan on a sex tour of Asia, find somewhere else to stay - you won't be welcome here and your disrespectful behaviour will probably attract some very unwanted attention.

“This hotel was just the best.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2010

Evrything about Legian village hotel (Joni 1 ) was just great. Legian is not as busy as Kuta, still the hustle and bustle of shopping and great shopping, my kids first taste of Bali and they loved it.
The service was wonderful, food in the restaurant was terrific, live music everynight,but didnt go too late for those who wanted to sleep.
Price was good, the pillows not the best but when you are tired you really dont notice.
I would recommend this hotel to everyone, so close to the beach and shopping at your front door.

“Really rude manager and awful room”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2010

We walked in and asked for rate. Told really good room for 400,000. Agreed then were walked down the road and across to a lane where their 2nd hotel is. Really bad room and hotel. o.k. if your 18 and no money. went back to reception and manager was really rude. we left and got a great room at the Three Brothers Inn for much less! Great hotel and spot. Staff lovely.

“think twice”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 March 2010

I booked this hotel at the beginning of 09 after reading the 2 reviews available on tripadvisor at the time. For the very cheap price I was of course expecting it to be aged and a bit dingy however we were not prepared for quite how run down the place had become.
My husband and I arrived late, after the front desk had closed and were shown to a very small room in the back by the security guard.
I was so unhappy with the room I wanted to leave but as it was 2 in the morning we saw no option but to stay there the night.
My first issue was the bathroom which was incredibly dingy. There was no shower recess, water just sprayed into the bathroom - not that there was enough pressure for this to be an issue apart from the slippery tiles. The tiles were very grimy, cracked and stained (particularly around the sink, toilet and shower taps), the sink leaked, the toilet was stained and it smelt musty as water didn't run into the drain properly but pooled on the floor.
The used-to-be-white-now-yellow towels were very, very old and with holes worn in several places and a large number of old stains. The sheets were the same, cigarrette burns, etc. They did smell freshly laundered though.
The very faded fabric bedhead had what looked like old bloodsplatter on it. The bed was old but comfy enough for us to sleep. The a/c was very noisy but at least it worked.
In the morning we complained and were shown to a slightly bigger room with a slightly bigger bathroom. Bathroom was still incredibly grotty and musty and the linen was the same. I still didn't want to stay but we had paid through a travel agent and couldn't get a refund for our 2 weeks. Other family members had rooms there - they weren't impressed either. They had heaps more trouble with toilet flushing and water pressure than we did.
Anyway we decided to stay. I bought bleach, steel wool, tile cleaner and new towels. After 3 hours in the bathroom it was clean enough for me to use happily enough (still some tile stains but far better and the thorough clean helped with the musty smell).
I would not recommend eating at the hotel - food was very average but there was a really great place nearby for breakfast and lunch called Tommys cafe.
The pool was closed every second day for 'medication' (meaning pool kept going green due to lack of chlorine so the would put in just enough pure chlorine for it to go clear again). It was fine other than that and staff would man the pool bar if anyone wanted a drink.
In general the staff were quite friendly and said 'hi'. They seemed used to people being unhappy with the facilities but could do very little to fix any problems. The room tidy every day was fine except for their abilitiy to clean bathrooms and walls. The gardens were well maintained even if the paths were old and treacherous (not recommended for anyone who needs a walking frame or running little kids).
Basically if you are looking for something very cheap as you are passing through and don't mind a very old, grotty room go for it. Otherwise think again.
