La Walon Hotel is situated close to most places , beach within 100 yds. The staff are excellent , always willing to help or pass on any information, if you need anything you just need to ask and it is sorted. We had ground floor room with patio out to pool, it was great. Certain to come back..

The hotel is in the bar area of Kuta and noisy till 10 pm, It’s showing it’s age and needs a bit of maintenance, but still acceptable as 3 star hotel. The food they serve is very good and value for money, it’s only 5 minutes to the beach which is great for surfing but useless for swimming.

Started bad, ended fine
In my first room, I asked for cleaning under the bed due to a something strange in a suspicious fluid (see photo). Maybe I asked the wrong person or he didn’t understand me. Also the room was very noisy as it was across from the stairway (see photo). Changing rooms was discussed, but as I had already fully unpacked, I wanted to delay my decision until after the weekend to see if I could tolerate the room. Eventually the staircase noise diminished, but I packed up and moved to another room when the toilet began leaking putrid water. I gave an “average” rating despite the 1st horrible room because the 2nd one was fine (except for poor WiFi) and because most of the staff was great. Also because building problems are common in older urban Asian neighborhoods

Location was great. Room was big with a balcony, kettle, fridge, 2 bottles of water, only soap in the bathroom, good aircon, wifi, kept dropping out, staff friendly, no lift only 3 levels. Breakfast was not a buffet you have a choice of 3 set meals with refillable tea, coffee or juice. Handy restaurant, nice meals, but count your change. Not flash, but great for a budget hotel, we really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this hotel.. I did not have a problem with noise from the bars, all quiet by 11pm

Was much better looked after 8 years ago but maintenace has fallen, internet sitting around 2-3 mbps when its available. Dead spots in the room, and you can no longer buy upgraded wifi. Therefore spending way more on 4G data and having to hotspot. Breakfast is not buffet, same 3 choices off a menu every day. At least bar menu is not plus plus and food quality was still good. The local markets are ok but run down. Wet season but rain was rarely a problem. Pool ok. Very few tourists around so locals quite desperate, much more insistent and many more money exchangers offering above bank rates to try to short change the unaware.

Close to the buzz of Kuta
Hotel is conveniently placed and inexpensive. I think the hotel has probably suffered from some less reputable guests because they didn't give an impression of trusting me (e.g. they checked the condition of my room before check-out could be completed). If you're just after a bed for a couple of nights and aren't interested to have a more calming setting then La Walon is fine. The breakfast and the shower were the highlights.

Dear Sir/Madam, hanks to the reviews you provided during your stay at the La Walon Hotel. We do apply a policy to check all room conditions when guests check out, we mean to give a secure impression to all guests and also to us. there may be some guest items left behind, so we can immediately notify the guests or because we have mini bars in each room and we place soft drinks and mineral water as well as beer in that room and it is not as compliment then we should check it out when guests check out. Hopefully we can continue to improve the quality of our service. Wish can see you again next holidays. best regards,

Love this hotel......
This is a return short stay for us this time. We love coming to La Walon as it is a small inexpensive hotel with great staff. We got a ground floor room which has the basics - bed, air-conditioner, small fridge and working bathroom. The pool is refreshing and staff friendly. Breakfast is simple, not buffet style, but enough to get you through to lunchtime. Great variety of other menu items for lunch and dinner and not expensive. Only downside to our stay this time is that there was no pool attendant in the small bar area so we had to get out of the pool to get drinks. Otherwise another great stay and we will be back next year.
