This is a great budget property in the heart of Seminyak Bali. Sure you could stay at the W for $600 but here a room is $30 and you will only use it to sleep. Great staff and lush grounds. So if your looking for a good value this is it.

Great location, friendly staff. It’s a little tired and WiFi no good in my room, but will stay here again due to location staff and price. The cafe is also fabulous outside of the hotel. Great food wine and WiFi.

Location was good, bit run down, shower was dreadful, would go hot and cold every 3 seconds which made it very hard to have a shower. Did not clean toilet for days. Pool bar was not operational which was advertised. And one of reasons i stayed. Will not stay again..

Taman Ayu was very nice, we stayed in the Super Deluxe Room which was the newer part. We also stayed one night in the Garden Deluxe Room and liked that more than the Super Deluxe room. The pool area is nice but could do with large size pool towels instead of the old room towels. Around the hotel there are plenty of eating places and massage places which are good and cheap. It was a little far to walk to Seminyak Square so a Rp 100,000 taxi ride was needed. The staff were friendly and always obliging. All in all our stay was okay.

Great cheap stay, no expectations for the price!
Great cheap stay, quiet despite the location, but ask for a room at the back and take some earplugs anyway. Very clean, but just dated. Pool was lovely salt water and nice and quiet. Only complaint, mix up with pool bar bill. make sure you just sign the receipts and pay at the end. I paid cash for one round of drinks and the cash went missing and someone else's signature on the receipt. I left the hotel feeling a bit crap, as they chased down all the staff and the manager and still didn't believe me and tried to make me feel guilty by saying they will get to the bottom of it and sack the staff member.

Nice place to stay
It was nice, pool area was surprisingly nice. Place was a little old and there was still someone's underwear in the bathroom hanging up behind the door when I checked in which was a bit weird. Local area is fine, a lot if healthy food and near to the beach.

Great location and good pool. The room, especially the bathroom was really worn out. The toilet didn't flush properly, so waste sat there all day. the gym was so old, nothing like the pictures. No bike and the treadmill was broken down and if it did start it would breakdown. The air conditioner remote didn't work, so had to stand on the bed to turn it on or off. Curtains old and grey/dirty. I guess given the affordability of the hotel, it was OK. Just think the pictures were really misleading.

Good location but a little dated
The hotel is located close to some nice shops,cafes and restaurant and for the price it is good. Our room was at the front of the hotel and there is a local bar that plays music really late so we were kept awake by that. The room itself was really dark and abit tired and dated but it’s what you expect for the price.

Amazing find in Seminyak!
There were some minor things like the bins not having been emptied before my arrival, an ineffective drain in the shower, and the sounds from outside the room coming through the thin door, but they did not take away from my experience overall, especially compared against their provision of a kettle since my room didn't come with one. The restaurant is well-priced and open at all hours. The pool looked enticing, but sadly I didn't have time to make use of it. I will definitely be back.

Nice hotel close to everything.
Nice hotel with a good feel. Staff very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for staff and room was cleaned every day without request upon return which was a pleasant surprise. Was given an upgraded room for just a minimal cost extra as there was a small roof leak when it rained heavily. If anything the pool was a little deep but it still served its purpose. Would stay there again and was very affordable.

Nice location close to Bali's best clubs and bars.
Nice Balinese style hotel on a lush tropical garden. Offers different types of rooms and villas. Medium range hotel with everything you need. Except from the new wing and the villas, deluxe rooms are nice but would need some renovations (bathtub, shower) swimming was recently retiled but already full of limestone. Staff very friendly and helpful. Could be much better with some small investments

Fabulous hotel in Bali
We stayed for two weeks at The Taman Ayu in Seminyak in Bali. The staff were awesome and the hotel and facilities excellent. Good choice of food and 24 hour bar/restaurant and room service available. In a great location with plenty of bars, spas, restaurants and shops nearby. A short walk from the beach. Would highly recommend this hotel probably more towards couples or adults only. Resorts such as Kuta and Legian seemed to cater more towards children for eg water parks etc with beaches nearer. As a couple we loved this hotel as it was very peaceful especially around the pool. Also a must is Biku restaurant 2 minutes walk, amazing and very reasonable restaurant with an extensive menu and always busy. 😄🍦☀️🍍🍸🍴

Good location in Seminyak
Friendly and very helpful staff made my stay very enjoyable. Most spoke English very well. Affordable to upgrade to a better room with more facilities as base grade room was a bit tired and lacked kettle and clothes hangers. Beautiful gardens to look out on from these rooms however. Bed was very comfortable. Close to restaurants and boutique shops. Upgraded room was very large with bath but the shower hose needed to be hand held if showering and water drainage was not good if it sprayed on the bath surrounds. Pool was nice. Room was serviced daily, always looked lovely to return to after a day out. Travelling alone I always felt safe. ATM across the road a little way up. Taxis readily available but easy to walk everywhere when you get used to the busy traffic. I would definitely stay here again for the position and for the price.
