We have stayed at this hotel multiple times over the past 10 years as it is great value for money.
We love the location and the roof top swimming pool is fabulous especially as it is never crowded, we are often the only ones there, perfect 👍
The downsides are that if you get a non-balcony room on the street side it is very noisy until about 10:30pm from the bars in the street, the balcony rooms do not have this problem but they are much smaller with a smaller bed, and are slightly more expensive.
The hotel is feeling a little tired. The pool loungers have been been slowly breaking over several years and the cushions disappeared years ago so they are not that comfortable.
The air conditioning is very noisy and only just cools the room to a comfortable temperature if you run it 24hrs a day, these definitely need replacing.
The breakfast options sound great but the quality is just ok, the muesli option was unavailable the entire week we were there, again not too bad for what you pay.
We will definitely stay here again and hopefully the hotel will do some much need upgrades in the near future.

Love that rooftop pool..wish they had the towels already there for us without asking.
Love tte rooms and using a room key.
Reception staff could speak more English.
Wish restaurant menu had healthier choices. Wish the elevator did not have that perfume smell.
Still a good value all around and is my go to choice. All staff very kind and friendly.

Once I arrived (2 am ) I was greeted with a staff member telling me that my room had been sold so I had to find another hotel!
I then had to walk the streets finding another hotel. I then had to sort out the refund process the next day for 3 hours which the manage then simply walked off didn’t even. Apologie! I’m writing this as a warning, I have since had confirmation 8 days later I am getting a refund from my constant messages but not good practice
Would avoid!

While the interior was a in need of a little sprucing up, the bed was comfortable and the shower was great!
Pillows could use replacing, but that’s about the biggest complaint so that’s not a big issue considering the cost of the room.
Didn’t hear much noise at all from the bar across the road (which people have mentioned before) and I’m a light sleeper.
Overall for somewhere to just sleep and shower I think it’s a great low price option!

The staff were very lovely, helpful and humble, like all the balinese people are!
The room was fair condition. I wasn't fussy though as i was travelling alone. The major downside was that i went for a rest and reprieve holiday but unfortunately with this being my first time in Bali, I didn't know that the Palette Hotel is right in front of a bar that has DagQueen Karaoke, EVERYSINGLE NIGHT, from roughly 7:45pm until roughly 11:30pm!!! So i didn't get the peaceful evenings in my room that i was so looking forward too! Very dissapointed by that. Free breakfast included. Wasn't the greatest food and small portions. However it was free included, so i was still happy with it. I wouldn't recommend to stay qith children or for a relaxing time. Good if you want to party or stay up late everynight.

I had paid for my stay in full a couple of months prior to arrival, and let the hotel know I would
Be arriving around midnight ( I had paid for that night) . My son and I arrived and they had sold our rooms for a higher rate. This left my son and I with know where to stay for the night as they had no rooms left. They tried to fix the situation with shipping us to their sister hotel for the night in Sanur, promised us they would make a room available the next day.
However, their sister hotel was an hour away from where I had paid to be, wasn’t that pleasant (dirty) I spent the next day sorting new accommodation for my son and I.
Glad I decided to move asap - I do not recommend staying or booking this hotel!

Very simple to sort out,shame because it’s a nice bar
That aside,I’m more than happy to stay there again

I think it should be expressed that if you are going to stay here, you have to be a person that goes to bed late. The show drag queen show goes until midnight and for me the first few nights I was there. It only sucked because I was sick and could not go out anywhere so the music kept me up for those three days Otherwise great place.

Clean hotel but a little old and tired.

The only major drawback is the bar accross the road blasting loud music from 8pm-midnight. If you are a night owl and go out to party in the evening then it’s not an issue, but if you want rest and quiet this isn’t the place for you

Staying here was unpleasant right from the second we walked in. After reconfirming my room requirement 3 times and being assured that’s what I was getting, I didn’t get it. There was no pool bar as advertised. No fridge that worked near the pool. It took over 30 minutes to get some towels. When we asked a basic question the answer was a straight out no, and they just kept walking. All of the staff were trainees so it’s not really their fault, I blame this terrible experience on poor management. I would never stay here again, nor would I recommend anyone else to stay here.

The rooms were as expected for what I paid, clean and comfortable (bed on the softer side) good shower pressure and effective aircon. My friend and I opted for 2x balcony rooms, which proved very handy for drying wet swimmers, towels etc.

Noise from neighbouring bars is unavoidable, Live music is usually heard until around 11:30pm.

Some shower gel is provided and complimentary toothbrush/mini toothpaste, plus 2 small bottles of water, replaced daily. You will need to bring your own shampoo, hairdryer etc.

The rooftop pool and impeccable friendly service make this budget hotel an absolute stand out. I will definitely be coming back ☺️

Thank you to all the staff for making my stay in Bali such an enjoyable one.

Great hotel and location, booked 4 rooms with breakfast for 4 nights, two rooms were upgraded which was great. Breakfast was a bit hot and miss, buffet for two morning then a la carte for the other two (with restrictions).
If it’s your thing there’s nowhere to sun bathe, the roof to pool is totally covered and the bar isn’t open, wasn’t staffed when we were there.
Rooms are clear and very well set out, balcony’s are tiny, only really usable for dry clothes, AC works well.
Rooms at the rear of the hotel are better off you want to avoid any street/night noisie.

I did not like that I was told I would get a king bed and it's really 2 twins pushed together and then wrapped with an old bloody comforter. Really. I took it all apart because it was so uncomfortable as it was made. I just put the sheet directly on the mattress and slept on the one twin bed. They are high quality mattresses but it's not a king bed. And they really need to just get a real mattress cover instead of using some old comforter that someone soiled.
