Hotel Review: The Haven Bali Seminyak

Hotel Review: The Haven Bali Seminyak


My most recent stay at February 20 - 22, 2013

The room I stayed in: Suite Room (1 bedroom with livingroom)

What do I have to say about the hotel?

Location: 8.5/10
I think the location is pretty good since it's located in Kuta Legian where the crowd is at in Bali. But for some people, this place is getting increasingly more crowded, hence, some people choose not to stay at this area.

Value to Price: 9/10
I think the price is suitable for the quality that we get. It's not too expensive and considerably cheap according to my point of view.
Rooms: 9/10
The room is quite big especially the living room area (if you book the unit with a livingroom). It's clean, tidy, and comfortable. The living room has flat TV with cable and dining area and also a clean kitchen with a fridge. Interestingly, the bathroom in my room didn't have any curtain and you can see through inside if you peek through the patterned-shade glass window. The room also has balcony along the window and it's pretty wide and spacey therefore you can hangout at the balcony in the morning.

Facility: 9.5/10
This hotel has facilities such as FREE wi-fi service even in every room, quite big swimming pools, 2 lobbies and reception area (at the front and at the back), cozy restaurants and bar area. The hotel is located in a long rectangular area and hence it's a pretty long hotel if you walk from the front to the back of the hotel, but the layout is not very wide.

Hotel Staff: 10/10
Like usual in Bali, the hotel staffs are very friendly and pretty helpful in attending to all your needs.

Would I recommend this hotel to others?
Absolutely YES. I would even like to come back here to stay next time I am in Bali.
This hotel is also great if you are traveling with families with children.

What do I have to say about this hotel?


Price: 9/10
The price of the hotel is acceptable and pretty decent. It's not too pricy considering the location in the heart of Jakarta (Jalan Sudirman).

Room: 7/10
I think this is a pretty old hotel and the rooms feel quite old and the technology is not updated (Read: the rooms are opened using keys instead of cards)

Hotel Staffs: 8/10
The staffs are very friendly and helpful.

Location: 9.5/10
It is located in the heart of Jakarta. So if you are on a business trip that require you to go to places in the Central Business District (CBD) Sudirman, this might be a great place to stay.

Views: 8/10
Views are OK, the city view of Jakarta.

Overall: 8/10
Overall, I had an OK experience staying at this hotel despite the hotel being old and you can feel it. Would I recommend this hotel to you? Yes, if you got a promotional rate. :)
