The Flora Kuta Bali Hotel

The Deluxe Pool View room is spacious with a balcony overlooking the pool area, I stayed here for a week in September 2025. There are two large single beds joined together although they are individually made up, this is not the double bed I had expected or booked (see photo). There are no power points near the bed but there are four on the wall behind a really long desk with a stool and a large mirror behind it. The room overall is clean and tidy. The sheets on the bed are white and crisp, the bathroom is good with decent shower pressure but lacking truly hot water, you have to let it run for a good five minutes to get anything remotely resembling hot. The shower head is mounted on the wall but cannot be moved up or down so at full strength you have to stand at the other end of the shower cubicle to get wet or reduce the pressure to a trickle. Soap is provided at the sink. Shampoo and shower soap are in wall mounted dispensers within the shower area. Towels are clean and replaced with housekeeping, some can be a bit scratchy but most are soft. Housekeeping is daily when they will make your bed (not change sheets) clean up, dust, change towels and mop the floor. There is a TV in the room with nothing but local Indonesian channels. WiFi borders glacial to totally unusable in the room and borderline usable in the lobby and restaurant area so no streaming for me. Location is good and is close to most of the Kuta shops, restaurants and bars. Some great warungs in the area offering really cheap and tasty food. Good laundry nearby. Pool is nice although there are only three sun beds and little room for more due to the rooms surrounding the pool being quite close. Sun hits the pool until mid afternoon and then the pool is in shade. You can buy a breakfast at the hotel restaurant for 50,000IDR ($5AUD). Choices are Western - eggs, toast, jam, juice, coffee or tea - there is also continental or Indonesian choices available. There are salt and pepper sachets on the table, sealed but with nothing in them - weirdest thing ever. The baked beans with the western breakfast are served cold out of the can as are the chicken sausages - weird again. Could do with an extra slice of toast for the butter and jam, you get two pieces of toast with an egg for each slice but if you have both slices with your eggs there's nothing left for the jam. Coffee is from a coffee pot and there is hot (not boiling) water for tea too. The door to the balcony in my room needed to either be rehung or some of the wood shaved off as it does not fit and close properly, you have to shove it and in doing so it makes a really horrible grinding screeching noise as it closes, there is no delicate way of avoiding the noise. It’s no problem during the day but late at night or early mornings it would clearly be heard by other guests. The issues I’ve highlighted could be fixed fairly easily. If they could sort the wifi out this would be a great place to base yourself if you work online, otherwise you’d need to either have an e-sim from Airalo or a local sim card to get things done - or stay elsewhere.

It is very aging especially the bathroom is a disaster with a shower head that sprays on the wall instead of on someone.Currently there is a little painting but nothing renovated While there was a price increase with last time. .We were here 4 weeks of which we were only there for 14 days because we made a tour. On the day of departure we asked if we could stay in the room until 4 o'clock but we had to pay 50,000 rupiah from eleven o'clock per hour. When we told that we paid 14 days plus 3 x breakfast, they did not provide cleaning costs, electricity and water and so as compensation wanted to stay a few hours longer until we were picked up the answer was pay or get out. The hotel was half empty and we came here more so were known. The staff also thought it was strange but the boss only wanted to think about rupiahs. Next time a modern hotel with large pool, breakfast buffet and much cheaper in the same neighborhood.

Definitely a hidden gem. Located 10 minutes or so from the airport 250k rp in a bluebird taxi and down a little, but surprisingly busy road. 3* accommodation with a 5* welcome. Room was basic, but clean and comfy. Breakfast also basic, choices were rice, noodles or American. Incredibly tasty though. Swimming pool, clean and clear and nice and refreshing after a day of walking around. Location is perfect, just 10 minutes to walk to the beach and past the stalls and to all the restaurants and eateries. Good value, really nice, would definitely stay here again.
