We stayed at the Harris hotel with 2 young children. Everyone was kind to us! The family room was good sized. The shower area was poorly designed though b 3 pools to access was good fun for them. The buffet breakfast offered many options for us,their iced coffee was very good. There is a small shop next door otherwise you must use taxi option. We would stay again 😊

The river is not that nice to look at due to the garbage and surrounding old buildings. Mosquitos all around so can’t leave your window/door open! We spent some time killing mosquitoes so we didn’t have to sleep with them feeding on us. The staff is super friendly and they have security at the entrance gate which adds some extra security. Room was spacious and breakfast buffet was great ! Bar was open for the swim up pool. Close enough to airport but not in walking distance to beach - approx 30mins

No complaints around the room, breakfast or staff. Advertised as having 3 pools and swim up bar, kids club, but only one pool currently operating and seats removed from swim up COFFEE bar. No alcohol available for sale within the hotel which was very disappointing and not stated anywhere within any advertisements.

Good choice for family trip

Room are good and comfort for family trip. Helpful staff, responsive when we request for hairdryer for our room. We enjoyed the breakfast and swimming pool. The cons is the floor of the toilet are not well-designed which the water are partly contained and doesn't fully flow into the drainage outlet.

リゾートでゆったりというより、アクティブ派に向いているホテルです。

ホテルの従業員さんがみんな若く元気いっぱいでした。 従業員さん、警備員さん、みなさん挨拶も笑顔でよかったと思います。 頼んだこともすぐにやってくれますので、助かりました。 プールも何か所かありましたが、入ったのはメインプールだけでした。子供たちは一日２回３回と泳いでいました。 ホテル内のwifi、よく使えました。私たちは１階のプールサイドの２ベッドルームに宿泊しましたが、お湯の出もよく熱いお湯が出ました。しかし、３階に泊まった友人の部屋は、お湯がぬるかったそうです。 朝食も悪くなく、毎日少しずつメニューが変わり、楽しめました。 立地は悪くないです。デンパサールにも、空港にも近く、バイパスにある大きなマーケットやスーパーにもタクシーで200円くらいで行けました。歩いて５分くらいのところにケンタッキーやピザハットがあり、スーパーマーケットも併設してるので、何度か利用しました。。海までは少し距離がありますが、クタビーチまで散歩しながら歩いて15分～20分くらいでした。 立地が観光地より少し街よりなので、周りのレストランやワルンがそこそこ安くておいしくてよかったです。 今回16泊と長くお世話になりましたが、十分満足のできる滞在でした。 しかし、１点残念なのは、大晦日のガラディナー。エアコンが効きすぎて冷蔵庫のようで、長く見ていられませんでした。それが残念。 今回、２組７人２週間の滞在お世話になりました。ありがとうございました。

Kamar Keluarga dengan Harga Terjangkau

Saya menginap bersama keluarga - 4 orang. Kamar keluarga luas, nyaman, dan harga terjangkau. Kami memesan kamar keluarga tanpa sarapan. Namun, banyak tempat makan di sekitar hotel yang sudah buka dari pagi dan harganya murah, bersih, dan lezat. Hotel terletak di kawasan yang strategis namun tidak terlalu ramai seperti kawasan turis lainnya di Kuta. Kamar keluarga di Hotel ini saya rekomendasikan bagi Anda yang melakukan travel dengan keluarga.

One of the favorite hotels I stayed during my time in Bali! Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the extremely friendly staffs. We had four great evenings here, which obviously also added up to the experience. We truly enjoyed the facilities within the hotel vicinity. The scenery was great and it was a relieve to be in such a quiet and peaceful environment. All respect for the general manager/staffs who does a great job here; a true sample of excellent hospitality!

More suited to Eastern world than western world

Im not sure how this hotel is 4 star I would rate it 2 star at best it is mainly set up for the eastern world especially food wise they cater for Asian/Indonesian more than aussie/nz menu very limited for lunch and tea if you order room service expect your plates still to be outside your room for a couple of days covered in flies this happened twice to us everyday there seemed to be something broken eg waffle machine blender for fresh juice broken for 3 dqays then we stopped asking breakfast variety very limted staff very limited in English the shuttle driver was great but it was easier trying to book tours through the stand beside hotel out front they were really cheap and helpful and had a lot of brochures on tours where the hotel one hardly had any and were quite hard to communicate with. Pool was nice and hardly any one in it rooms were clean except for shower which had mould all up it rooms have been cheaply done we got a large room which had a hot plate in it but was pointless as nothing to cook on it or cutlery air con good but very very noisy location not to bad about 2.5km from beach or 3/4 hr walk if you want quiet and out of town this would be ideal

We had a two bed apartment here but basic amenities for an apartment were missing. For example there were only 2 cups provided. The kitchette was a sink, singe gas ring (which cost extra) and a fridge - no bin, utensils, bowls, etc to use. We wanted an apartment so we can grab a simple breakfast before starting out day but there was no way to do that in this apartment. The apartment was tidy and cleaned daily but was also a little worn down and the toilet could have been nicer. For the money it was OK, but I would look for a different hotel next time. Hotel staff were excellent, friendly and helpful

Modern, clean and friendly.

It was our first time to Bali, 2 adults 2 kids. The hotel was modern and clean. Staff were nice enough, although the hotel lacked a bit of charm and warmth. The a/c wasn't great and the balcony was small with no where to sit except on the a/c unit. Breakfast was nice. We ended up going to another hotel in Kuta closer to the beach,restaurants and shopping as it was easier with the youngest child.
