This hotel was one of the worst I’ve ever stayed in. It smelt, the bathroom, roof and walls were black with mould. I wouldn’t recommend anyone staying here regardless of the price.

Very Nice Hotel in Awkward Area

The hotel was well-kept, the staff accommodating, and the breakfast good. It is situated on a main road, however, making entrance and exit by car somewhat difficult.

relocated

We arrived at the hotel at 11:30pm after a day of travelling (and paying a steep price for a cab) we were told we were being moved to another hotel because the AC in our room was broken. This was already slightly annoying cause the other hotel was closer to the airport and if they had prewarned us of this we could have gone straight there. They quickly got a driver to take us over and although the rooms at the new hotel were spacious and clean, there was no wifi, no toilet roll and no tea or coffee making facilities in the room, all things we had paid for. In the morning they did offer to take us back to our original hotel for breakfast but as we were closer to our next destination at this point, we thought we may as well just go straight on and save ourselves the time and extra money. The staff were nice but overall a series of unfortunate events that Meant we couldn't contact our families to let them know we'd landed safely or organise and book our onward travel (due to lack of wifi).

Fine for a stopover

We stayed one night between a flight in to Denpasar and a boat out to Gili Islands

Hotel was fine but on side of main road, not much around. Helpful and friendly staff. Food was pretty good

There was a last minute panic getting a cab in the morning, not the hotels fault but should have got up and left 2 hours to do the 15mins journey rather than 1 hr to be safe as it took us 30mins to get a cab on the road!

Skip Hotel Yani!

First of all, it is far away from anything, including the airport...the taxi cost was expensive. The hotel was full, but the hotel did not seem to be that attractive. I never did look in any oth the rooms. They then sent me off to another hotel of comparable price, which was quite acceptable, but it was even further from anything, including attractions, decent restaurants, etc. The staff was somewhat helpful at Yani, but it seemed to be a common occurrence, as an Aussie had the same thing happen, when booking with Yani. There are cheaper and nicer hotels throughout Bali, and most are much closer to the beaches, restaurants, public trans, etc. I would definitely not book with Yani...THUMBS DOWN!!!

Just a day in there

I stayed in there a day, for a little problem in my trip. I think you shouldn't go there more than one day.
The Hotel is so far from the city and closer to the airport, is in the route, there isn't anything turistic and is complicate go out from there without a taxi.
The staff is very friendly, but the area of the Hotel isn't smell so good, the breakfast is really poor but the pool is great (I don't think you go to Bali to swim in a pool, I have to for that day).

Ok place to stay with regards to price

We booked this hotel before arriving in bali (or knowing anything about the country). Nice to place to stay. The location was out of the way for main tourist attractions. The hotel did not offer a pick up service from the airport - which would of been helpful rather than so overwelming with the amount of taxis at the airport. No internet in rooms only at the hotel lobby area (only place the wi-fi would be strong enough). Room was nice and big with air con. Had a washing line in the room which was very helpful. The bathroom was not very nice and stunk after every shower as there was no ventilation. Nice staff. Breakfast was very average as it was cold every morning we ate. Good place for price paid but have to use taxis or hire a motorbike if you want to get any where.

I really loved this hotel. Great price, the staff was very friendly and helpful, and it was close to local attractions. If you want to be closer to shopping, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it unless you just want to hop on a taxi, but otherwise, it was an amazing hotel all in all. I would definitely recommend it! :)

Yani hotel is very close to Denpsar airport so that is a plus point.It is on the bypass road so a lot of traffic makes it noisy.Hotel staff is friendly.request for maintenance problems are dealt with immediately.Bed linen and towels are clean but a bit worn out and not changed daily.Room service is prompt.Kitchen timings are limited but it can feed a hungry guest adequately .Food was good.Breakfast can be improved with addition of porridge and cutlets for vegetarians.
Main concern was during the rains. Due to lack of covered corridors the rain water splashes on the floor and makes the area messy and murky.The staff tries its best to clean up but this definitely needs to be taken care of.
Overall it is a good place for budgeted holiday.

Yani Hotel on the bypass in Denpasar, Bali

For a low cost hotel, the Yani is very satisfactory. The only negative thing about the room is that the shower does not have an enclosure so the entire floor gets wet. A little inconvenient but still, the hotel is a good value. The breakfast buffet would be much better if the hot foods were actually heated! But there was also fresh fruit, juice and toast. I would stay there again as would the friends who accompanied me on my recent stay.

Yani Hotel - Denpensar Bali

We stayed here one night on our way through Denpensar onto our vacation. The ride from the airport was cheap and easy and Yani has 24 hour reception. The room was clean and neat with a/c and breakfast was either toast or indonesian rice and veg. For the price the room suited our needs. If staying in Denpensar itself for any length of time this may not be the right place as it is on a busy road which you are unable to walk on. Overall, we were very happy with our night.

Great if you want a bargain

The Yani is far from the best hotel, however I would recommend the Yani to anyone on a tight budget, the Yani is reasonably well located to the South of Denpasar within easy reach of Kuta and the Airport . It is a simple hotel but it is clean and the staff are friendly. The breakfast is very simple and usually local style breakfast so rice is on the menu and not cornflakes! Most of the staff have reasonable English so communication is never a problem. I would stay again if I need a cheap hotel. I think its great value for the money.

Yani Hotel, Denpasar

We hired 2 rooms for an overnight stay. In one, the AC worked, in the other it did not. The rooms were cute though!
The reception did not give us a wake up call inspite of requesting them. Moreover, they misguided us about hiring a BlueBird taxi. They said that BB's do not operate before 6am. They suggested another company and said that the fares are the same around 70K IDR.
I called them and they said they operate 24hrs and dropped us to the airport. The fare was around 45K IDR. A hotel which misleads its customers and does not bother giving a wake up call after promising to do so -- I cannot recommend it to anyone.

Taxis are 10$ to airport. 5 or less to kuta or sanur. You will not get these ammenities for this price anywhere else in Bali.

Nice but far

The yani hotel was a nice place to stay. Clean rooms the in house cafe was nice but a bit pricey. It did not have wifi in the rooms but is was available in the cafe. It was faster in the morning than in the afternoon. My only complaint is that the airconditioner broke twice in the week we were there. Also we were charged for 7 local phone calls when we only called 2 people. I guess they charge you if you try and you don't get through that was lame. It didn't cost a lot but it put a damper on an otherwise good stay

Good location to airport at a great price

Location to airport is great, maybe 10 min ride or so. Right off main street but only a few min away from mall and planet hollywood by taxi, or about 15 min from kuta beach. Hotel seemed nice, deent room esp for the price. Some stains on sheet covers, but was told by staff it was oils. Bathroom not very good, one of the showers heads hanging on the wall of a tile floor bathroom and you have to hold it and shower next to toilet, so everything kinda gets wet. Good AC. Nice mini bar, snacks etc. Decent morning buffet included. Good tv channels. Comfy bed and free wifi. I liked this and for the price very good compared to the resorts that wanted like almost4 times the price for one night. Would stay here again on my next trip to Bali.

Grandioses 2 Sterne-Hotel am Bali Wake Park

Da ich Wakeboarder bin, suchte ich mir ein Hotel in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Bali Wake Park. Das Yani Hotel ist für ein 2 Sterne Hotel wirklich grandios. Der Pool ist klein und gemütlich. Der Innenhof sehr schick und entspannt. Mein Deluxe -Zimmer war sauber und hübsch. Wesentlich besser als ich für den Preis erwartet habe. Das Frühstück war nicht schlecht für den Preis. Sehr zu empfehlen, wenn euch die abgeschiedene Lage nicht stört. In der Nähe schien nicht allzu viel los zu sein.

for US$12-$13 a night you get a big room, air conditioning, a fudge, hot water to shower, it's just great! on top of that,FREE breakfast! Has a pool too!

The bed is big. but it doesn't come with flat sheet (top sheet ) only a comforter in a duvet, I think they should get some new pillows too. Staffs are so friendly and helpful. there are barking dogs dog near by... not the hotel's fault. Breakfast has rice, eggs, stir fry veggies, tea, coffee and juice. not too fancy but it will fill you up if you are not too picky. I would stay there again, price is just great!
