Dear B'Lighter,

Solaris Hotel Kuta

This time we will review Solaris Hotel Kuta, Bali. This hotel located at Wana Segara Street, Tuban, Bali. This three star hotel has a north-facing buildings and consists of 5 floors, right in front of Aston Kuta Hotel & Resto, it is just 5 km from Ngurah-Rai International Airport when driving with cars.

Though located in Tuban, but the backpackers no need to worry, because it turns out the hotel's location is quite attractive and strategic. By walking, it only took 5 minutes of 'German Beach' or the beach of Holiday Inn, known as the first beach which is popular among the foreign tourists; and also 20 minutes from Kuta Square, a place well known to be a shopping place for tourists and abroad; and only 15 minutes from Kuta Beach.

So, the hotel is not secluded, is not it?

Lobby of Solaris Hotel Kuta

Comfy impression felt since the first time you enter the hotel lobby. Lobby was not huge, but entire service to hotel's guests activity was in this lobby. Some sofas are available to be a place for relax for visitors. Like most hotels in Bali lobby, the lobby was not air conditioning, in purpose to familiarize its guests with the air of Bali.

Connected to the lobby, there is a Blu Bar, which offers a selection of wines, beers or liquors, at a reasonable price. One can relax while enjoying a drink by the pool, or relax in the lobby. This bar serves orders from 7am until 11pm.

Walk slightly inward, there are an outdoor swimming pool with glass side view. This pool is not very wide and deep, but still enough to provide comfort for visitors who want to swim. After swimming, one can relax on the sunbed while enjoying a some dishes which provided by D'Pine Restaurant.

Reviews from the author

The entire staff of this hotel Solaris greet and provide their best service to the guests. The author at the time of check in, find out that the room type requested (Superior) is not yet available as a result of which there is a late check in earlier. The occupancy rate of the hotel at that time seemed to be quite high, because it is in the holiday season. Still the receptionist upgrading our room to Deluxe types at once, free of charge. The request for room service is not always fast, but the room makeup were done fairly quickly.

The facilities provided in the room is quite nice, nicer than the similar hotels, with the cleanliness of the rooms is already above average from the similar hotels. However in my experience of stay, room floor shown brown spots, and according to the hotel clerk's, it's due to exposed to the cigarette. The author also found that the pillows on the sofa chair are smelly, it seems somewhat less taken care about. The absence of the carpet in the hallway in aisle of the rooms, causing the sound of other hotel guests passing still occasionally be heard inside the room.

Breakfast menu offered quite tasty and there are variations, based on the experience of staying 2 nights at this hotel. For the live cooking counter, it's only serve omelets or sunny eggs.

For the need of the internet, B'Lighter may find inadequately accommodated well, considering WIFI provided at the hotel wasn't very good, in bandwidth nor signal. Possible placement of the transmitter needs to be made more strategically, or need more router presented.

Overall, this hotel offers quality, comfort, amenities and location were above average. With a fairly competitive price, we have good reason for all B'Lighter to try to stay here at a time when the holidays arrive.

Prove it yourself, and, happy adventure!
Live is to short to stay at the boring places. Go adventure!
