Hotels Near Phinisi Ambasi in Bali

This is my second stay in 2023 and it did not disappoint. I usually come with my husband and family but had a week solo and chose this hotel. Not only have we had wonderful holidays here in the past, being on my own, I liked the idea of security at the gate. I stayed in a pool view deluxe and although these rooms are a little dated, it was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Having a welcome platter of fruit was a lovely touch and much appreciated. The lovely staff are another reason we return again and again to this hotel. Lintang is a wonderful asset to this hotel and makes me feel like family. Wirik in the restaurant realised I was travelling alone and went out of her way to ensure I was comfortable and had a friendly smile and chat for me each morning. She does an excellent job and also makes me feel like family The pool is one of the best in Sanur. Perfect temperature and huge, so you never feel crowded and can move around freely. It would be good if there were more lounges though. Pool bar staff are lovely and efficient. The hotel is located a short distance from the beach and has numerous excellent restaurants out front. It’s an easy walk to night markets as well Lastly, the security guards were wonderful. Very diligent at their jobs and so friendly and helpful to me. The Swissbel is my go to hotel in Sanur. It’s such great value for money and its buffet breakfast is great. Try a themed dinner night as the food is sensational and great value being “all you can eat”! Thanks again Swissbel, we will be back!

Awesome Hotel to stay with the family… Very spacious rooms and suitable for the family. Overall hotel is the great to be if you are visiting bali. Only improvement point - it has very limited menu and portions of food is also limited. Breakfast menu is som limited that my wife avoided eating at the place. Hotel should improve on the menu list and portion of the food.

Kanishka provided us with the ideal holiday in Bali! It is centrally located in Seminyak. Just walk out the door and there are all the shops, restaurants and facilities. The rooms are beautifully decorated and very clean. Our room came with a private pool. The staff are friendly and helpful. We highly recommend Kanishka!

It was a pleasant experience, the staff working were very friendly as well.

During my recent stay at the Pullman Legian in Bali, I was left disappointed by the overall experience. Despite the hotel's appealing facade and convenient location in Kuta, the room itself fell short of expectations. First and foremost, the room I stayed in, which was supposedly a pool-front location, had a persistent dampness that was immediately noticeable upon entering. This unpleasant atmosphere made it difficult to fully enjoy the space and left me feeling uncomfortable throughout my stay. Moreover, the cleanliness of the room was far from satisfactory, and it did not live up to the standards one would expect from a hotel of this caliber. In fact, the cleanliness level was more comparable to that of a two-star hotel in the Kuta area. The state of the bathroom floor was particularly disappointing, with visible damage and an overall dirty appearance. The wooden parquet flooring was scratched in multiple places, which gave the room an unappealing and poorly-maintained aesthetic. To make matters worse, even the simplest details seemed to have been overlooked. For instance, the chair in the room displayed signs of rust, which further added to the feeling of neglect. The water hose attached to the bathtub appeared to have never been cleaned, as it had a noticeable buildup of mildew and left a silky feeling on your hands when touched. Considering the brand reputation of Pullman, I expected a much higher level of cleanliness and attention to detail. Unfortunately, my experience at the Pullman Legian fell short in these aspects, making it difficult for me to recommend this hotel to others. On a positive note, the location of the hotel was undoubtedly convenient, situated in the heart of Kuta Bali. However, the disappointments encountered within the room overshadowed this advantage. In conclusion, despite the attractive facade and prime location of Pullman Legian in Bali, the lackluster room conditions and subpar cleanliness detracted significantly from the overall experience. If you value cleanliness and attention to detail in your accommodation, I would recommend exploring other options in the area before considering a stay at this hotel.

Wow wow wow This hotel is absolutely amazing! I have wanted to stay here for so long and finally got the chance for a special stay (we just got married). From the time we arrived (which was late at night) we knew we would love our stay. Yuda at check in was so welcoming and friendly - the positive stay just continued from there We had just come from a 5 star hotel in Australia and let me say, the Stones outshines the Crown in Australia anyday!!! The location is opposite the beach - right in Legian, so perfect spot. Plenty of lovely restaurants within walking distance, and you can pop just across the road to the beach bars for a drink and watch the amazing sunsets We had a plunge pool room - which was perfectly located within the hotel (room 157). We love the ground floor rooms. The room itself was nice and spacious, very clean, quite and the beds super comfy. We didn’t really use the plunge pool though as sadly the water is freezing!!! The main pool was perfect temperature and we swam in that a lot - it’s huge! There is plenty of room for everyone and getting sun most of the day, it’s not cold. They also provide big pillows in the pool - so you can float about and relax The ice cream man floats around throughout the day and brings popsicles and fruit sticks - it’s a lovely gesture. Also the HAPPY HOURS - they are awesome, from 12-6pm (buy one get one free on selected cocktails and beers) Breakfast options are next level - from Asian inspired to western and even a donut wall, there is something for everyone. You can get anything made fresh too The hotel also has a big lobby with chess and a pool table to have friendly games with people which was a great idea We can’t wait to stay again!!!

The Tribe Hotel in Kuta is a very modern, newly opened, and well-located boutique Hotel. It is on the one hand directly at the beach, close to shopping opportunities and the airport. Therefore, a perfect opportunity to start a Bali trip if after/before a flight a good price/value accommodation is searched for. The rooms are very convenient with enough space for luggage. While it has an open design for bathroom, the shower and toilet are separated and enclosed. The amenities including shower gel are of high quality. The hotel has a very spacious rooftop area, with an infinite pool, some sun/day beds, relaxing lounge area and a restaurant. The food in the restaurant is a mix of western, Italian and local, in a good quality. Drinks offering are standards, with a mix of local and global wines. At the same restaurant, breakfast is also served which offers a broad variety of western and Asian food. Highlight of the hotel is the fantastic staff, which is on the one hand extremely professional and well-educated, on the other hand finding the perfect balance of being casual. The staff is very proactive and helpful, and their smile at the check-in area is always very warm and a big pleasure. This is a common habit across the whole hotel, which makes the stay a pleasant experience.

The entrance was a bit subtle, given that it’s a five stars hotel. Room was more than comfortable, with two side make up mirror available, perfect for girls‘ trip. But amenities and furnishing were a bit outdated, a far cry from what they were shown in trip.com. Location was great with a convenience store next door.

Very nice mid range hotel in good central location in Seminyak. Close to many things, circle K across the road, W and Potatoe Head nearby. We visited Woo bar at W and that was amazing. Walked thru Potatoe Head and way too busy, didn’t stop. Had dinner twice at Biku, it’s always wonderful. Good but expensive homewares store next door to Biku. Massage places across the road, didn’t use the in-house one. Everything lovely and clean and well maintained. Didn’t like the pillows, but that’s just me!!! Big bathtub in bathroom. We had a ground floor room, I forgot to ask for a high level one. A couple of times people sitting on tables right by our room, luckily they were not too noisy or there too late, but something to consider. Three different pools to use, water quite cool!!! Staff amazing, so helpful and friendly. Able to rent scooters on-site. Breakfast was plentiful and lots of variety. Only negative is no direct access to beach. We did find this hard! Besides this, highly recommend this hotel!

I can’t wait to return! Don’t think twice about it. I am traveling in a group of 5, I myself single in the studio worked beautifully. From arrival we were greeted at the airport quickly to the property where we were met once again with a warm welcome and orientation of our home for the next 6 days. Their story can be found on their website and is worth a read. We participated in their yoga classes, meditation, sistrum, ice bath, sound healing sessions. Kim is amazing and has impacted my life in a way no one else could touch. I wonder if she knows? A good selection from their breakfast menu was included, enjoyed it next to the pool near the ocean across the way. Potato Head was the first week of our journey to Bali and I now believe it when they say that when the stars align, you’ll know it. And Fysh, if you could be so blessed to meet her here. She took care of our group with her heart and it is still felt! I’m not going to ruin it for you. It’s something you just have to experience for yourself ✨ Pro Tip: Seva Hawaii (on Instagram) may help you elevate your experiences and curate an itinerary for you: From Bali to Java! xo, Anastasia
