The pictures on their website might be a bit misleading. Just as their claim of being just besides the beach. The room given to me required refurbishment and had a musty smell whereas the main shopping area as well as the beach is a good 10-12 minute walk away. The hotel swimming pool looks massive only in the pictures. It is in fact pretty small.

Now to the good part:- Its a short drive from the airport, the breakfast has a good spread of european food and the staff is friendly. Since my stay was for only a couple of nights, I found myself leaving the hotel very early in the morning and returning back only late at night- all I needed was a comfortable bed for a good night's rest. For that, this hotel was wonderful value for money.

If I return to Bali, I will look around for some better options situated closer to the beach. However, for those on a budget trip, this hotel is not a bad option at all!

TIP: Don't let the hotel's concierge trick you into accepting an expensive activity package (rafting/trekking etc). You will get much better deals in the market area if you talk with the guys at the 'Tourist Info booth'.

I stayed at the BWKB for 9 days in Dec 12.I needed to upgrade my room to a deluxe (on 2nd story)to get an adjoining room for my kids. This was a good call. The rooms were larger and the aspect was to the beach ( rather than a dark view to the middle of the hotel). Everything was clean and worked including good aircon and cable TV. It was noisy....no doubt.... Gaps under the doors letting in night music from the restaurant, passing guests etc..... The staff is very friendly and helpful, the is an ample buffet breakfast (Indonesian food focus). However, all up for about $58 per room (booked thru Hotels.com), it is a good value, well located hotel which provides a clean basic room. Don't expect 5 star luxury for a 3 star price.

Best Western!?!? More like worst western. Don't be fooled, expecting the quality of rooms to be similar to other best westerns. This "Best Western" is independently owned and managed (says the sign located in the lobby). What you see on the website is quite the opposite of what it is in reality. The staff were nice, everything else was terrible. This hotel does not face the beach. It only can be accessed through an alley which can only fit 1 car. I booked a deluxe room and found out that all the deluxe rooms are facing an area of cages full of chickens. That would be noisy. I downgraded my room to a superior one, which was facing an empty land area. Boy I was wrong. I should have listened to the previous reviewers, that this hotel DOES NOT have any noise insulation whatsoever. I repeat, NO SOUND INSULATION. You can hear the security blowing the whistle everytime a car arrives, people walking by, closing/opening doors. To make it worse, there were 2 little kids who were always screaming and running around every morning when I stayed there. Please save yourselves from the inconvenience. Very dissapointed.

Great position located right in the middle of Kuta! Amazing helpful staff. Buffet breakfast is awesome! Quite a small room, but it didnt matter. Rooftop pool and bar was absolutely breath-taking. Thanks for such an amazing holiday experience.
