The Alea Hotel Seminyak

EXPEDIA PLEASE INVESTIGATE
The Alea Hotel is not what is states online.
On arrival rooms were not ready. 2 hr later the we were able to go to our room. We were not offered refreshments. Rooms smelt like mold. The bathrooms were not cleaned. Sheets were ripped. There was not breakfast available. No baror no restaurant to eat in. Elevator was broken. The whole hotel was full of mold roof falling in. The staff do not understand English. I seen 3 people check out the morning we arrived who had stayed 1 night. The hotel needs to update what they offer and need to update the photos as this is a 1star rated hotel and that's being generous.

Didn’t look like the pictures that’s for sure. It was so bad we couldn’t stay so left and went elsewhere

In its day (Built in (2011), this would’ve been an awesome place to stay but when you see what 13years in Balinese weather does to a Hotel you’ll think all of the web pictures have not been changed since!! Time has not been kind to this establishment unfortunately and although the young staff try hard, the place needs a FULL & COMPREHENSIVE Renovation! The location is Fantastic and Very Quiet; Easy access to Batu Belong beach and a Fantastic Warung (Jembung) next door are all points in its Favour! For $27/night (No Breakfast is curry being offered but Cafe’ 707 down the Road is Excellent!!)I certainly got my Cheap, 2 week holiday but if you are Fussy, I wouldn’t stay here as it will take you more than (I had 3 Room changes) to be Happy and Content with your stay.

I don’t recommend to anyone to stay this hotel.

This property is situation in a very quiet area, and is within walking to many great eating spots. The pool is private for the people staying. We stayed the first week of August 2023 and the whole place felt like it was in some form of renovation. My room had a rusted shower head and no hot water, but was always clean. As they say "you get what you pay for"

The lack of advertised amenities and non workable ng lift

The hotel is very outdated, the room wasnt cleaned at all, our bed had black hairs in the sheets and on the pillows, also there were huge stains in the “decorative small pillows”, the coffee mugs had lipstick and coffee stains on them so we had to go to the restaurant to ask for new ones but they said that they will wash them and bring them to the room (took them 35 mnts to bring them back) we needed ICe and the restaurant charge us 5000 rp to fill 2 cups with Ice (this should be free) the lockbox was not working so we had to get a new one and then it started beeping with error code for 5 minutes until someone came again to fix it. The A/C did not work well at all, i woke up sweating every night. the Wifi DOESNT WORK!!! it literally works for 5 minutes and then stops working, i spent an hour trying to get it to work again and unsuccessful, wifi was not working at all!!! NO WIFI ON ROOMS!! The pool was dirty with bugs all over, the lounge chairs in poor condition. I needed change to pay the taxi and I asked the front desk for change and they said they didnt had any change without even checking. The service was bad, room bad, overall super bad experience.

The Alea was a pretty good hotel for a very good price in Seminyak. I did find a few ants in my shower and a couple of beetles in the bathroom too but it’s a tropical place and didn’t feel dirty at all.
The double bed was 2 singles, one was fine and comfortable the other was rock hard. Lucky I was solo.
The food in the restaurant wasn’t great but I only tried the grilled cheese sandwich. The local place right next door is far better!

Really disappointed with the quality of this hotel. It was one of the most unclean rooms I’ve ever checked into. Would never recommend this hotel for a stay

Affordable place at a great location.

The property was a little run down. The room we were in was right next tp the bar which was pumpong music all day so wasnt very peaceful. There were stains on the pillows and the room smelt quite musty.

We had a great stay. We were attending a wedding close by and Alba was in a great location, well priced. Beautiful premises and we were very well looked after. Thank You Alba

First time in Bali - hopefully not last. All of the hotel staff was friendly, helpful, courteous. Definitely made the stay a memorable one. Location overall is nice and away from traffic. The breakfast buffet on the rooftop was pretty decent. The hotel itself has some issues I hope will get addressed. Internet: Unreliable and spotty at best. If internet is needed for work or download/stream, then this hotel is not for you. There were ants in the room, so if that bugs you, then you've been notified. (Hot) Water: 80% of the time the water worked just fine, but there was a couple of evenings where hot water was intermittent and 1 evening where no water was available at all.

Clean, comfortable, nice pool, close to a lot of great restaurants. I'll definitely recommend staying here.

Was a quick check in and a very good nights stay for the price.

This hotel is such a good deal considering their location. Cleanliness and airflow was good, another plus point is there was a small local 'warung makan' (eatery) and scooter rental just beside the hotel. One major negative point though, there were unexplained problems with their outsourced laundry service thus they can not provide us with any towels for the duration of our stay.

The Alea is a lovely hotel and great value for money. The bathroom was small but apart from that everything else was lovely.

The property is outdated. The towels and bed linen need to be replaced. Im not sure they change the linen between guests because the housekeeping cart didnt have linens in them. The pool has stairs missing from the pool ladder which makes it difficult to get out. If you have a mobility disability I highly recommend NOT using the pool until the steps are replaced. Overall, i was disappointed with the conditions of the hotel. The staff was pleasant.

Nice location, near to a few mini-marts and near popular food places. The hotel was decent, needed a bit of refurbishing and a good cleaning though. But it’s alright if you intend to spend most of the day out anyway.

This hotel is dated and suffers a bit from wear and tear/old age. It gets confused with the nearby Alila Hotel which is modern and in another price bracket. Whilst staff were very friendly and unobtrusive, unfortunately, noise and cleanliness of my room let my experience down. The staff cannot control the noise as it was probably due to a building fault: none or poor acoustic insulation at time of construction. My room was adjacent stairs so noisy with guests leaving due to earthquake scare. Staff changed water, toiletries and towels daily but I found hairs on bed cushions, sheets & shower base inc large deposits of mouldy grime. The pool was closed for maintenance during my stay & as I did not use any other facilities inc gym, restaurant or wifi; I cannot comment further. This hotel is ok under cheapest available in Seminyak but for a longer stay or families, where you intend to use more of a hotels amenities, I would search other options in the future.
