I stayed one night prior to flying home. Hotel is walking distance to many shops, restaurants, and the beach. Hotel was clean, staff was friendly, but fairly basic by western standards. Overall a good value for the price. If I was wanting to stay and see Sanur Beach there are other hotels closer to the beach, a little nicer, but at a higher cost.

Decent hotel for the price

Enjoyed a couple days at arena living, all the rooms overlook the pool which is nice , no need for a 'swim up' room. The sound of trickling water from the water features around pool was so relaxing whether by pool sunbeds or on your balcony. Only complaints there was a ton of mosquitos in my room when I arrived (I guess the cleaners or previous guest had left balcony door wide open as after my first day when I kept doors closed at all times it wasn't a problem) I don't normally suffer from bites but I got bitten all over my body overnight. The towels and bed linen were grey or had stains over them ,they were washed just probably old and could do with being replaced. The hotel breakfast buffet wasn't very big or impressive and I didn't see any tea and coffee people at a nearby table had to ask for a coffee and then the staff took ages to bring it which was odd so maybe go out elsewhere for breakfast. These wouldn't stop me from going back I liked the laid back atmosphere of the hotel staff are there if you need them

Little gem in a great location. Walkable to the new mall and beach where you can dine, shop and walk miles down the beach. Staff are lovely and very helpful. Lots of choices at the breakfast buffet.

Good location for a short stay

This is a well positioned hotel to get around Sanur. The hotel itself has an intimate feel with a courtyard pool which is pleasant. We had a pool access room which was clean however it was in need of updating. The bathroom basin was stained and looked very average. We ordered food a nasi goreng and french fries it was disappointing and I swear the french fries had been bought from the McDonald's nearby and plated up. The were not hot and very average just like McDonald's. All in all good place to stay if you need somewhere to explore Sanur, but only a couple of nights is enough

Excellent value

Would definitely stay again. Good value for the money. I did notice that, like every other hotel in Bali I stayed in, the choice for a pillow was big and hard, or big and hard. A couple of different types would be wonderful. It must be a Bali thing though and not particular to this hotel. My excellent review of this hotel stands.

Calm serene place - but.....???

Calm serene place - probably good for longer vacation stay. Breakfast is basic - egg and toast among a few other- will be frowned upon if you ask for a second cup of coffee.

Internet is not good. Not for good for business stays

Nice pool

Comfortable room with balcony overlooking the pool. The room could have been improved with the addition of a waste paper basket but overall was very good and the shower had great pressure.
There is an attached restaurant and pub but the service there was poor. Breakfast had good variety.
The hotel is situated on a main road so there is some traffic noise but what was more annoying was the constant crowing of a rooster behind the room.
The beaches are within easy walking distance and there are a variety of restaurants, shops and massage places behind the hotel.
Good choice for a relaxing holiday

Great hotel, very clean, good beds, nicely done up rooms. Entry to the pool from the room is great. Restaurant in front was good, mix of western and balinese.
Have already rebooked my next stay in Sanur here.
ATM 30m down the road, allows $3m withdrawls, 3 times in a row.
Beach and shopping short walk only.

Awesome 4 star property with lush surroundings. Only negative is the bed is like laying on concrete. Very hard if you like that youll be good.
Small room with good little bathroom and outdoor patio to sit at. Lets face it you dont hang out in your room in bali.
2 mins walk to main drag in Sanur. Ten minutes walk to Sindhu beach, easy walking.
Got safes which was great but not in uour room but behind reception. I kept my money there.
Staff were lovely.
Breakfast was ok i only had it once as i dont eat it but yhe coffee was dismal lol and tea the same so we bought our own. Now the restaurant for lunch or dinner is absolutely outstanding with great options german italian amazing steak or asian. Seafood and steak is top notch and it gets busy busy busy!!!
Pool was fabulous aswell.
Overall unfortunately i could've stay again due to the bed but if this doesn't bother you its a good cheap stay with an excellent restaurant!!!
Some great warungs locally with cheap spectacular food. Sanur has alot to offer at reasonable prices so enjoy!

Great little hotel and very friendly staff. Good a/c, good location with a 15min walk to beach.Some of the older pool towels were stained but clean. Bathroom towels clean but very grey in colour. Breakfast was a bit dissapointing, expecting a buffet. Was a choice of 10 meals, but if you chose 1 meal plus extra toast, one of those meals were extra and only ornace juice was included. All in all a great venue and would stay there again.

Good room and AC, mini fridge, pool. Nextdoor mini mart was convenient! Arena Pub was a nice place to stop on the way \"home\" for the night as well. TV in my room needed a new cable for better quality but I wasn't there to watch TV, so not a problem and I'm sure if I brought it up to the very nice staff they would have tried to fix it. The nearby Bloom Cafe had nice strong coffee and food, with great staff as well.

Comfortable well located Hotel

Beautiful pool. Secluded. Peaceful. Perfectly placed for access to the airport. Arena Living is a terrific choice to relax prior to departure, or for a few days in Sanur. You are an easy walk to the beach, to bars and restaurants close by. Everything is here you could wish for, and at a very reasonable nightly price.

We spent two weeks in Sanur at Arena Living and were thrilled. The hotel itself was perfect. Quiet, clean and a beautiful pool area.
Location was fantastic. We took a few day trips directly from the hotel, beach was walking distance as well as restaurants and shopping. Also there is a grocery store a very short walk away.
We enjoyed our stay so very much and would absolutely stay again. Can’t wait to go back and see even more of Bali.

My room was spacious and clean. It smelled nice and i had a nice bed, with a pool view from the balcony. Didn't like the pillows, both were too high for my neck. The wifi was pretty dodgy ALOT, and streaming was almost impossible. The tv channels also had really poor reception, images weren't clear at all, almost snowy. And the tv screen went blank a couple of times.
Hotel is in a good location, short walk to beach and shops. For the price, it was a comfortable stay, and yes I'd stay again. Thank you.

Wonderful oasis in busy Phnom Penh

Wonderful peaceful hotel with two pools, one of which has gazebos, loungers and bar service. The most outstanding staff in my two months in Asia; they truely make the experience special. Plantation is located within easy walking distance from the Museum, Silver Pagado and Palace. There is a big selection at the buffet breakfast of Western and Asian food. The rooms have nice amenities, air cons that work well and good amenities.

조용한 환경에서 편히 쉴 수 있었습니다. 호텔에 조경이 참 좋았고 친절하셨고 모든게 좋은데.. 두 가지 아쉬웠던 점.

1. 아이가 여기 수영장에서 신나게 수영을 이틀 하고 열이 났어요. 귀 염증도 생겼습니다. 수질 때문인지 이유는 모르겠어요.

2. 객실 천정 어딘가에서 수시로 쥐들이 다다다닥 다니는 소리가 수시로 났습니다. 불안했어요.
