Holiday Inn Express Baruna, an IHG Hotel

Nostalgia. This hotel brings me back to When I was a kid in the 90s. I sat by the pool and imagined all the things that happened there 33 years ago. Red corvette blasting on the speaker while my parents drank at the swim up bar and my brother threw all my underwear over the balcony just to a an A hole. Young couples meeting for the first time - middle class teens having their first pina colada. What a trip!!! I suspect this was a vibrant party hotel at some point. Overall the balcony was really nice. I very much enjoyed the view and and the sound of the crashing waves. Bed is comfy. Room is very dated. Woke up to a cockroach in the bathroom. The food is mediocre. I did love that they provided Dove products since my skin is sensitive. The beach is very quiet but full of trash and also kind of creepy. The staff are very nice as expected in Bali. The pool was nice but full of kids. Very kid friendly! if that is what you need. If you are single and seeking peace…look elsewhere.

Comfortable bed Smallish room no balcony or view Poorly designed bathrrom :- same room door as bathrrom door so privacy and flooding issues Well-trained attentive staff 40000IDR for a small can of soda water in the lobby;- expect prices to be loaded but by 300% is just gouging and leaves a bad taste when it's a blatant rip-off Morning brekfasts pretty good; fresh food, not extensive but quality ok

Good proximity to airport and convenient transport provided by hotel. Room are clean. Adjoined elderly room is spacious esp the elderly room toilet .

Good overall but our room in the 3rd floor had some background engine noise from the roof. Breakfast used to be better last year, the eggs were poorly cooked (either burned or too row). Staff at the checkout were annoying and started calling 1 hour before checkout time then eventually entered the room 5 minutes before 12 noon although we had ‘don’t disturb’ signal which was annoying.

Best of the hotel is they provide free shuttle to Airport, unfortunately seems hotels need to manage their free shuttle booking in an orderly arrangement, as they might forgot to arrange it, luckily the location is not far.

In love with this hotel, the staff very friendly and helpfull. The room clean and comfy. Very recommended to stay here. Near to all visit area n circle store .
