Sari Bunga Hotel

We stopped here at the restaurant that’s attached to this hotel that has street frontage, so members of the public, like us, can wander in and it doesn’t just cater for the hotel guests.

We ordered some bruschetta and some spring rolls. We were just after a snack.

I love garlic. I REALLY love garlic and you would want to love garlic if you order the bruschetta as it was covered in garlic. It was nearly too much for me, but I did enjoy it.

The spring rolls were fine. Nothing special. But nothing wrong with them either.

Good spot to drop by and grab a drink and to increase your garlic intake for the day! Ha

Incredibly, we had been staying in the charmingly traditional hotel Sari Bunga for almost a week before deciding to check out Frangipani, the rooftop bar. From our room, the decking looked like it offered a pleasant rooftop space overlooking the wonderful old eponymous frangipani tree. Imagine our surprise when we discovered the most eclectic, tastefully decorated bar and dining area at the top of the stairs? A collection of vintage radios a couple of old record players, coloured glass lanterns and Art Deco lamps, wood carvings and masks, even an old red Telephone Box converted into the entrance. It is truly the most individually styled and unique bar I’ve yet seen in Bali. The surprise for us was that it was so unexpected: we hadn’t seen it on the hotel website or even mentioned on other reviews. In a place where bars really are two-a-penny, this is a real hidden gem.

It was a very intimate 22 room hotel.
Simple and very clean.
Breakfast included and small to choose from but the best omelette we had cooked fresh every day.
It was close to everything and beach a 2 min walk. Where we had our beach chair every day for just 10 dollars for 2 of us. A Bintang brought to us is a lovely touch.
We had a ground floor room looking onto the pool through plants which was lovely.
We ate in the restaurant at night a few times and food was great kitchen so clean too.
Workers very pleasant and always working on the pretty gardens.
60 a night with breaky perfect.
Old reviews don’t apply as bathrooms redone and rooms painted.

Really nice place to stay great staff will be back for sure

A pleasure to return after 5 years. Have stayed here many times in last 20 years, have loved the location and staff. This time a big surprise with major renovations on the property. The room has always been spacious but the new bed & bathrooms are delightful. The refreshing pool relaxing and 3 minute walk to the beach and added bonus. Highly recommend for a hotel with genuine hospitality & feels like Indonesia. Thankyou fabulous staff, Lulu

Close to beach. No room safe. Old hotel but condition is good. Breakfast very plain and limited choice but OK. Rooms with connecting door are noisy if you have an inconsiderate guest next door.

We have been really impressed with the size of the room. It fresh white paint and renovated bathroom, makes it very comfortable. The location is so good. We love the balcony off our bedroom, overlooking the lush gardens. We will be back soon.

The hotel has only just re-opened after refurbishment. Previous posts may not reflect our experiences. Great location, great price, great staff, large rooms, very clean, new bathrooms with very large shower. Beds are comfortable and large. Everything is freshly painted. Gardens and pool are immaculate. This is our new favourite for affordable double 6 accommodation. Definitely worth a stay.

Meget slidt hotel og ikke særlig god belliggenhed.
Måske udemærket til backpackere, men vil ikke anbefale det til familier med børn og par.

Everything was good, not the biggest breakfast buffet but still nice, room was very clean and good service. Close to the beach but there’s also a nice pool with spots in the sun as well as in the shade.

Buyer beware.
You will get what you pay for.

The hotel is perfectly located and the hotel staffare very friendly.
The hotel however looks like it could use more than a fresh coat of paint.
The swimming pool area is well maintained.
The rooms.. Or at least mine. (a4).. I am not so sure.
Aircon worked.. There was warm water once or twice...
The room was refreshed everyday as requested.
But several other things detracted.. And made me wonder if this hotel does deserve all its stars..

The windows in the bathroom has "clean" written on them by a previous hotel guest
The shower curtain is severely stained by rust..
And the fridge in the room is actually rusting through..

There is WiFi.. Not fast.. But good enough to get a few messages through
Breakfast is served.. Generally eggs.. Nasi goreng or the like.. fresh fruit coffee/tea and toast and then fried bananas or crumpets as it goes..

I feel obliged to mention that this was a budget trip for me.. But I felt that the hotel was slipping in standards.. And not living up to "budget friendly"
Either way.. Great location.. Close to several warung and the beach and nightlife.. So if you are a student.. This place will be perfect!

Checkin welcoming, but told could not pay accommodation with Mastercard Debit only credit as machine would only accept credit which is patently misinformed as paid by debit on checkout machine worked fine. On arrival room fridge was off, no cold water, could not find switch for TV and could not get aircon going (No information book in room) Bed was hard and creaked loudly, furniture worn and in need of upgrade. However staff acted quickly and fixed problems - room was large and big balcony overlooked lovely pool. Quiet restaurant served good breakfast and very nice meals promptly served by friendly staff, we ended up having many meals there, coffee service brought to the room as no kettle etc. Pool and gardens a lovely oasis 150m to Double Six Beach, heaps of beach bars and restaurants (Cocoon is great - not expensive) Shops line Jl.Arjuna in the other direction. Overall, after a shakey start we really enjoyed it there. Great value for the money.

There is absolutely no reason to stay at this property. There are plenty of really nice clean places in Bali for a similar price. It is located on the edge of Seminyak, more Legian really. There is mould and damp everywhere. The outside needs about 10 hours with a high pressure hose. The bedding was clean and the rooms had been cleaned, but you can't fight 30 years of humidity and rising damp. Staff were lovely and efficient and gardens were well kept.

Arrived late on Saturday night 21/12/2019 & were checked into our room. Slight misunderstanding with the booking as we ended up on the 3rd floor not ground & my wife cannot climb stairs that easy. I had a discussion with night manager & he asked if we could stay the night there & shift rooms in the morning. So we did that & after breakfast on the next morning we were promptly shifted to room C-1. Totally Appreciate this & a Big thankyou to Nyoman as he assisted in this process. Right, small negative over & onto the positives. Rooms are spacious, clean & the two single beds are very comfortable. The fridge is a good size & you can load it up with drinks. The air conditioning works great & keeps the room super cool. The bathroom area has a massive bath & the shower has hot water all the time. Whilst the room could do with some maintenance here & there, it is quite functional & satisfied our needs. Out the front of the room, there is a couple of chairs to sit in. The pool is clean & has deck chairs around it. It is quite deep & a reasonable size for the area allocated. The rooms are set back of the street & reasonably quiet.
Breakfast is reasonable with Toast, eggs ( omelette or fried) noodles or rice, fruit platter. Tea, coffee & juice is on offer as well.
The hotel is located less than 200 meters from the beach & about a 10-15min walk from Jl Legian. Its a hard working hotel. The location is hard to beat & for the $$ charged each night I have no complaints.

We were upgraded for the first two nights, must have spoilt us as we got a shock when we got to our room to find no kettle! Staff were fantastic, Pool lovely and well maintained,

Big rooms, affordable, quiet (during our stay, September), good location.

Well located 100 meters from double-six beach. Nice warung with great Indonesian food, really affordable. Beach bars , convenience stores, all a stone throw away.

It’s not a new hotel, but it has a nice swimming pool surrounded by trees.

Staff is very attentive. Breakfast is ok with plenty of fruit coffee and juice to help yourself with as much as you want. Eggs made to order and either fried rice or noodles and pancakes.

An excellent deal for the price, but very difficult to connect to the internet.

Loved our stay at Hotel Sari Bunga. Very close to everything you need in Seminyak , 2 minutes to the beach. Great value for money

We have stayed here a few times over the years. It is basic accommodation but very clean, comfortable and in a great location close to beach, shops, restaurants and bars. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Nice clean pool, old but efficient and clean bathrooms. Breakfast is good with eggs any style, toast, tea and coffee, juice, alternate Asian dishes such as rice, noodles, pancakes. Great price considering what you get.
