Puri Maharani Boutique Hotel And Spa

This was my second time I have stayed here and I took 3 friends that have already said that they would be going back again, wonderful gardens and large rooms, great pool area...staff are all friendly and helpful, Will return.

I booked at the Royal Suite in this hotel as it was close to the airport, as we were arriving late and were off to Ubud the next day. It's set off the main road and about half an hour drive from the airport, a taxi from there cost us $50 Aus. The Royal Suite is the largest room in the complex, and has a lounge area in addition to the bedroom, and a fairly large balcony overlooking the pool. Room service had already ceased at 10.30pm. The room is decorated in traditional Balinese furnishings, but the towels and linens are dated and should be replaced. However, it was a good deal on the QAntas site, costing only about $58 a night, and included breakfast. The pool and gardens are good. However, there was a power outage from about 9am, so it was hot in the room, and we had a cold shower. Apart from that, it represented value for money.

We were staying in this Hotel for two nights and I’m very satisfied with staying there. I haven’t met Indonesian people that were not friendly but the Staff is definitely one of the friendliest. The receptionists helped me a lot with different issues and handled them quite confidently. The price is way below the service so I can’t complain much about the room, although the room is probably their biggest negative. It wasn’t dirty but a bit stale or musty. The sheets didn’t smell extremely good and there very few sockets and lights. Bathroom was very chalky but all these negatives aren’t extreme enough to really upset you. Pros: -Friendly and competent Staff -Average breakfast in quality, great in quantity -Beautiful area in a Classic Balinese Style Cons: -Many mosquitoes (more than usual at least for my liking, got stung 15 Times) -Chalky bathroom, muffy bedsheets -Big Bypass right in front of the hotel with no sidewalk, almost impossible to cross (You don’t notice it from the Room or hotel area)
