Discovery Kartika Plaza Hotel & Villas Bali Reviews

There are some very good things, but also some less good ones. I'm going to try to write them down as best I can.
If you're going to book a 5-star hotel, you expect everything to be TOP. Unfortunately this is not the case. The staff at the reception are not as friendly as you will expect in Bali. At check-in we had a lady who didn't look at us, who was doing half other things, laughing with colleagues and throwing our cards at the counter instead of giving them to us neatly. She pointed in a direction and there had to be our room somewhere, she gave no further explanation even after asking it again. She gave us the special room with garden view, especially to us. But we had just booked this... a little strange. The suitcases came only after 3 hours and twice called the reception to the room.
The room was old-fashioned. It was fine but very dated. It smelled musty. The air conditioning could be set to different positions, but there was only ice-cold air coming out. The difference with outside was too cold, this was unfortunately not pleasant. The bed was very nice and was very large. The view of the garden was nice. The bathroom was fine. However, the bath had a shower curtain. If you book a 5 star hotel you expect absolutely no sticky and dirty shower curtain.
The facilities at the hotel were great. Beautiful swimming pools, good restaurants and breakfast was very extensive and neat. We enjoyed this to the fullest.
On the last day we flew back late. We wanted to arrange a late check out for this at the reception. We are absolutely not awful to extra pay for this. The gentleman of the reception was not very friendly and very direct. For 6 hours extra (until 18.00 hours instead of 12.00 hours) was a considerable amount asked and the hotel was far from full.
All in all it did not meet our expectations. If you book a 5 star hotel you expect good, friendly and nice service. If you check in after a long trip and you are not even kindly helped at the reception... a pity!

Nice hotel with nice surroundings. Cute staff. But does not really feel like five star.

I went there because there have Qatar airways office to change my ticket

Enjoyed every minute of our stay. From the rooms breakfat,staff and location. Will definitely stay again.xxx

Excellent hotel and amazing vacation.
Despite not having the beach in front due to erosion ( 5 mins walk on either side of the hotel), kids and adults had an amazing time... Food, ever smiling staff and entertainment all on 1 place

Stay calm here in kartika plaza... Really silent, serene, calm... Cool your self here. Enjoy a walk at beach have fun swimming, even the food is good. Thums up people.

I visited this place not to stay overnight. But it meets the cocktail party invitation and the isodel 2018 gala dinner. The place is very spacious exsotis and romantic. Located right on the beach of Kuta. So that hotel visitors can comfortably enjoy the beach atmosphere more personally.

View behind the mall directly onto the beach, can see the plane landing or take off well here

A five star hotel, looks old, service is excellent, but the smell from artificial parfume in every room is not appealing to my nose. I prefer the smell of Balinese fresh air, because the hotel is next to the ocean which provides fresh wind from the sea.

This 5-star beachfront hotel is only 2 km from Ngurah Rai International Airport, and a 5-minute walk to Discovery Mall (the mall is right next to the hotel).

Facilities & Activities:
- Hotel 1 complex with beach

Restaurant operates at 06300 - 22:30 hours
Good food according to this hotel class.

Every time you stay here, always stay here ...
Homy ... the food is fine ...
Strategic location...
If I want a calm atmosphere, I can ... look for a nearby crowd ...
The mall, just jump ...
The walk is comfortable ....

Nice property..in the centre of the town and beside sea.

Antique atmosphere ... Pool view near the pool at sunset

Stay in discovery hotel 3 time, was lovely breakfast, pool with bar . Easy go to beach just opposite walk a long path. And massive dinner buffet front of beach. Was lovely atmosphere with traditional music.

Clean hotel, friendly service and quite ok breakfast ...
The atmosphere is ok for holidays

Regretful staying at this hotel ... just when I came out suddenly the room was fogged up ... until I was short of breath, without prior notice ...
Feeling comfortable sleeping again ... the clerk with a spare key suddenly came in ... even though it was not time to check out ... it was still around 8 in the morning ... just sorry for staying in this hotel ...

Cheap hotels are in Kuta area, close to Discovery mall and Waterbom Bali, friendly and very helpfull staff. Breakfast is very tasty with a variety of menus, the rooms are a bit old but spacious and clean, already equipped with Ac, tv cable, hot shower, and of course there is a fridge. The 3-storey building has an elevator and swimming pool that will spoil the visitors. Will definitely come back here if you go to Bali again. Thx Hotel Karthi

Huge hotel area, very clean and spacious. Well organized and very friendly staff. We had a suite with sea view (room 1042) .. just a dream. The decor is a bit old-fashioned, but well maintained. Very quiet wing with direct sea view. The hotel is very centrally located with access to trendy restaurants and the beautiful beach of Kuta. While we sunbathed on the beach chairs in front of our room, we could watch the many surfers. The pool bar leaves nothing to be desired. This hotel was the culmination of a wonderful vacation. Many thanks. The hotel is really recommendable.

Good hotel for holiday in Bali, direct to the beach and friendly staff

The hotel next to Discovery Kartika Plaza is strategically located on the main street of Kuta Bali, you will not be disappointed when staying at this hotel because of the various facilities that pamper guests, starting from the entrance, we are being greeted and getting a local welcome drink, there is luggage storage before we check. in. Entering the room, there are various facilities, including a mini bar, so for those of you who are lazy to go out, you can take advantage of this mini bar, as well as a hotline that is loyal to help tourist needs for up to 24 hours.
If you stay at this hotel, you will definitely not feel at home for long in the room, because the atmosphere here is very comfortable directly adjacent to Kuta beach, which every day will never be deserted from domestic to international tourists. For those of you who want to relax, you can take advantage of the bar in the middle of the swimming pool, while swimming while enjoying the light meals available at the bar. Or for those of you who want a private party, the hotel can provide it for customer satisfaction only.
The price issued to stay here is commensurate with the facilities we get, starting from 1,800,000 IDR / night according to the room specifications we want. For those who are Muslims, this hotel provides a halal menu and a prayer room is also available for prayer services located beside the Arjuna Hall.
For those of you who come to this hotel but get dining facilities the next day (usually trainees from BUMN / Government) don't have to bother, there are several affordable food shops around the hotel.

Amazing place, from the mall looking over the ocean waves roll. Hopefully the corona will pass soon ...

I just seen how great the hotel.. can't dissapointed, about the view.. awesome..

Start from the entrance gate,
The securities are friendly, not showed how stressful they were..
We can park the motorcycle safely..

About the receptionist, all of them are friendly and helpfull.. I asked them, and they answered it slowly and helpful.. they put their smile on the best way..
It shows one of the qualities how the best hotel is..

Then, i took a walk to the back yard, and there were a pool, mini bar, and a Lot of lazy chairs..
A lot of place to relax.. nice

Last,
The toilet, exactly shows how great the hotel is.. not a single bad smell!!! Love it..

Feel peaceful and not regret if i stayed in here..

Recommended !!!!!!!!

Old hotel with quite old furniture, but arguably luxurious for bathroom. The view overlooking the beach is also pretty good. The staff is amazingly friendly and really treats us according to what we want. The location is very strategic 5 minutes from the airport but quite solid at weekends.

The services are to the pick.. lovely lively staff..the breakfast it's one of the best in the island.

Very nice location, near the beach, the rooms are very clean, staff is very polite. The prices are pretty expensive comparing to other restaurants or shops. Discovery Mall is right next to it. It is located in a very busy touristic area, so if you're looking for a quiet place i don't recommend it.

Enjoy staying here with good facilitas and the most the breakfast many variants... I also love to enjoy time in the swimming pool. So close to kuta beach to enjoy the sunset

This is a nice cozy place.It's not at the beachfront,but to get to the beach you just have to walk 5 min to Discovery Mall.And yes,this hotel is right next to a Mall,not a small one too,so you can go shopping whenever you want,and it's located in the center of Kuta,lots of places to eat near here and lots of shop too.Thw swimming pool is very nice,it have a basketball ring and soccer net,so kids really love playing there,and for adult,they have bar at the pool,you can have a drink or playing billiard there.

Great hotel with good staff. The breakfast was perfect.

Too small rooms
standards of a 4 star B barely at room level

Nice Place, Nice Location. Just next to Discovery shopping mall.

it is one of the best hotel in bali.. clean, tidy ,great view and comfortable room. It has an awesome outdoor pool.. u can see the view direct from ur pool.. also they have various of tasty breakfast menu. U will never be regreat to spend ur day here.

Although the appearance from the outside is amazing, but the bedroom is comfortable and clean. Swimming pool is also pretty decent. The hotel is on three floors and has an elevator to ride down.

A hotel in Kuta, strategic. Close to malls and restaurants or entertainment nearby. There are also 7 villas by the beach with private pools and quite spacious courtyards. For villa guests buggy is provided. The breakfast menu is complete. There is a spa, gym, swimming pool etc. Friendly employees. The park is vast.

By far the best hotel to stay in Kuta. The spa is incredible and service is excellent!

Nice palace in Kuta AREA ... suitable for family vacations

Excellent food and friendly staff! What a memorable stay for our group from Vietnam.

Luckily I was able to stay 2 nights at this hotel. The hotel is really luxurious. Old hotel but still not out of date for the technology side.

The price of a Permlam stay is quite a drain on the wallet. The rooms are clean and spacious. Friendly service too.

Want to swim, located behind the hotel as well as blending with the beach.

This hotel is located in Kuta area, Bali.

Lighting in this hotel if the night is relatively less so it seems dark

Its great, nice location with a great variety of shops & food options. I loved the market style shop with all the Balinese bamboo wind chimes, carvings, artwork ect.

Service is very friendly, employees are very polite ... Rooms are luxurious but rather old-fashioned. The hotel is very crowded ... The pool is very crowded in the afternoon ... It's good afternoon hanging out at the restaurant seeing sunset ... kerenn .. Like it

This hotel celebrates its 30th birthday on October 2020 yet Discovery Kartika Plaza certainly has not lost its charm and grandeur. We stayed here during new normal order, health and safety regulation were strictly imposed.

The staffs are all energetic and warm. The check in and out process was smooth. Our deluxe garden view room was spacious and bright. Everything is in a good working order. The bed was comfortable but lo and behold... There are FOUR fluffy and soft pillows! Very nice.

The gardens are well kept, they even have residence squirels and birds on the premises. The pool was clean and really invites you to plunge and enjoy the coolness of clear water just a few meters from the beach.

Although some of the restaurants are closed due to lacking of patrons, they really maintain the quality of the food. The breakfast was simple but tasty. Not too much variety to choose from but it is understandable because of the pandemic.

One of the beautiful hotel in Bali. 2 times stayed there and will be many more in the future

The location is strategic, the rooms are right next to the ocean view behind the hotel with the beach ...
Special bgy for those who want to honeymoon ...

Eassy access to Airport and other siteseeing.
Nice view.

With a small hiccup to begin with, but it all turned out perfectly. Food was so good, the pool area so good & all the staff were just perfect & so very accommodating. We loved everything about it. Very happy couple, with only one problem... we need to bring children next time

The venue for the reunion of Garuda friends. And a place to stay for tours guests.
The location is definitely very good, next to Centro.
Excellent staff and service.
Recommendations for those who vacation in Bali.

The place is fun .... beautiful sea views ... the food is tasty and varied

A 3-storey hotel with good rooms ... there is a swimming pool and breakfast that suits your taste.

Although it is a five-star hotel, it is not suitable for service, and price.

Positive: strategic location, adjacent to the mall with many eating alternatives. Friendly staff. The pool is spacious and clean. Calm atmosphere. Negative: the toilet is time to be replaced and somewhat damaged. House keeping knocks too often (laundry, schedule etc.). There was a minibar check-in a few hours before checkout (when we were busy cleaning up). For breakfast, too little local food variation.

As it is hotel in the town, it is convenient. I am totally satisfied.

Best place in Bali to spend a day by the swimming pool , the day pass is 10$ and it is worth it . Drinks by the pool are excellent with good customer service. I guess next time I will stay there

5 star hotels in the coastal area that I love are also old but are still well managed and cared for. still looks luxurious and looks magnificent from the entrance to the lobby. also with its spacious and neatly beautiful restaurant and garden. only in the ballroom and meeting room which clearly looks very old, narrow, dark and uncomfortable.

Nice place to stay thats why we Always stay there for holidays..
