We spent NYE in Seminyak and decided to stay at Bali Ayu in a superior room for its reasonable price and excellent location. The accommodation is local style townhouses. Ground floor is one room and the 2nd floor with its separate entry is another. We had the 2nd floor. Pros: Excellent location - walking distance to W hotel (10 mins)... More

Lovely smallish mid-range hotel in Seminyak - not Kuta. We had a superior room with our own courtyard and all the services you'd expect. Basic breakfast included for $95 a night (3 people). Everything - good cheap and cheerful restaurants, $6 massages and facials, are pretty much outside the front door. The gorgeous Potato head bar/restaurant is just a few... More

My partner and I stayed here last July 2011 and we stayed in a standard room, we there thinking about the upgrade, but we were happy in the standard room as they had recently been refurbished. Excellent value for money, and close to the Seminyak strip which has great shopping! The restaurant was okay but there are great restaurants within... More

It's not a fancy place for sure, they don't even have a hair dry in the room. But sfaff there are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is good. Remember to ask for a room on the second floor which is much nicer than the first floor one.

If you travel a lot and like to save on accommodation by staying in clean comfy 3 star hotels, quiet but fairly central to everything, then Bali Ayu is a little gem. Don't bother upgrading to a villa or superior room, there's barely any difference to a deluxe. The deluxe has a pretty outdoor bathroom (try to get a downstairs... More

Close to the beach, a couple of pools and a decent breakfast. The rooms are basic but generally clean.

I booked this hotel through a hotel site and saw nice photos of the newly renovated rooms labeled 'Guest room.' When we got there though, we saw that our room was basic, and didn't even have a shower curtain so that when you shower, the toilet bowl gets wet too. It has a good location though, near many shops and... More
