The hotel has an impressive feel to it, especially the lobby area. The restaurant is facing the lobby on one side and the swimming pool on the other... There are smoking and non smoking sections available in the coffee shop restaurant which is also called 'Sugar and Spice'
My stay was comfortable, the rooms were well provided with amenities. Internet however in the room is chargeable (I paid $ 4 for 12 hrs) but the lobby area has free wifi.
I have uploaded pictures of the breakfast spread which was decent with a combination of Indonesian fare to the usual American hot buffet. They also have a omelet station and a waffle/pancake station.
The coffee is good; hence no need to splurge on the 'Brazilian' or 'Colombian' coffee pitch they may throw at you for a fee of $ 2 something.
The service is warm and very relaxing to the senses.
This hotel is very close to one spa (Griya Nu Skin Spa) which offers a 1 hr. full body massage for only $5...
This hotel is also close to the beach and shopping area which could interest you but as I wasn't there for long I can't shed more light on it....

Myself and my boyfriend stayed in the Aston Kuta for 10 days over Christmas & New Year we had a fantastic time. We found the standard in the hotel excellent we had a deluxe room which was very spacious & modern and the balcony area over looking the pool was very spacious the rooms were cleaned and left spotless evry day. The breakfast was lovely the fresh pancakes/crepes/eggs section was top class. The staff couldn't do enough to make our stay more enjoyable especially the barman Tenny he was great fun & makes great cocktails. The location is good its only 5 mins from the beach and 10 min walk to the main bars & restaurants. We will defienetly stay here again and would highly recommend it.

I spent 3 days in Nusa Dua and 3 days in Kuta at the Aston Kuta, and the experiences were like night and day. From the quiet to the bussle. I travel with my five year old son, and he loved the staff and the pool, and he loved all the attractions that Kuta had to offer. I found the hotel extremely friendly and customer service orientated, which I love, I was pleasantly surprised considering its size. I also loved the pool bar , and I really enjoyed the Balinese dancers that performed at the restaurant on the Friday night, it was a special highlight .This hotel has a very friendly atmosphere, is well located, and has good breakfasts. I think it is excellent value for money, and if I were staying in Kuta again, I wouldn't hesitate to rebook here.

We stayed at AK for 7 nights over Christmas. We stayed in a Deluxe Room which faced the pool. Staff were very helpful on check in and our room was well presented. The breakfast is pretty good, lots of indonesian and western food on offer. AK offer a egg station at breakfast, great idea, got annoyed a few mornings when some asian men kept pushing in and staff kept serving them.
