The Taman Ayu

As a solo female traveller, I couldn't have asked for a safer property to stay in. The staff were caring and friendly, and no request was too much to ask. On the first night, my room was right next to the main road and very noisy. The next day I requested to move further back into the resort and they helped me out with no questions asked. The gardens are lush and well cared for by the grounds staff. The pool is very clean and deep. It wasn't too busy, so there were plenty of sun loungers available. The location was excellent, lots of great restaurants and transport options. Only a 5 minute scooter ride to Seminyak Square for shopping, or 15 minutes to Legian Beach. The bathrooms were very basic but they were clean. Rooms were serviced each day by lovely staff. The Gourmet Cafe right at the front of the hotel was sensational! Delicious food, excellent service and very affordable prices. If you like yoga, there is a great little hot yoga studio across the road (Jiwa Yoga). Overall, this hotel was the best value for money you could ask for. I paid approx $20USD per night for a lovely, safe, friendly and caring atmosphere. If you're not expecting luxury (which you wouldn't for the price they are offering) then I can guarantee that you won't be disappointed with your stay at the Taman Ayu!

Friendly welcoming staff. Beautiful gardens little squirrels and birds, not many insects in room. Decent size rooms, AC worked well. Regularly cleaned rooms and grounds. Good coffee and food. Pool has an unmanned swim up bar, we got bottles and set ourselves up. Great sun exposure poolside and to rooms. Short walk to beach, flea market and many great restaurants. Bit of a gym and breakfast bar. Pretty quiet considering location. For the money can't knock it. Excellent value

I love this place. It’s very clean. The pool is a decent size and clean. There was always plenty of loungers. It’s a short walk to the W hotel where you can renter the beach for a lovely sunset beach walk. It’s about a 10min walk to potato head beach club. About a 20 minute walk to kudeta beach club. The pain au chocolates in the almost next door at the patisserie in kanvaz village are the best pain au chocolates ever and I’ve eaten them in France. The gourmet cafe out the front of the hotel offers lots of tasty local and western food at affordable prices. The hotel itself is incredibly affordable. The rooms are a big size and cleaned regularly. I recommended this hotel to friends who visited me while I was there and they also loved it. The staff are super friendly and helpful too. Oh it’s also a short walk away the fabulously new iron fairies bar. Check it out. It’s also amazing there.

The staff were very friendly and the location is central to attractions in the area.

Location is the best. Nothing can beat the location compare the price. Shishi & the iron fairies just 2mins walk. Thumbs up to the staffs especially Desi, she the best. I didn’t used the pool, but it’s look clean and well maintained.
