Not what I was expecting.
This is the only hotel in South East Asia that has not supplied fresh water. Also no food available. Second floor bathroom drainage not good. WiFi spotty. One night there was a large storm. The street turned into a river and the wastewater channel that runs alongside the hotel came through the wall and turned the courtyard and pool into a giant brown sludge. I was trapped in my room all day with only the supplies I had squirrelled away. My neighbour went wading through knee high flood waters to get water and supplies for his family. Some wifi access restored in the afternoon, but only on the balcony. I contacted Hotels.com but less than useless. Organised my own new hotel and just abandoned the last three days payment.

They didn’t let us know that we were in a flood zone and that the area had flooded a couple of days before and made the pool brown from blood waters. The property smelled like dirty water.

Not recommended
The location is out of the way, you will have to get taxis to go anywhere. The place has a funny vibe and the rooms while they are spacious , they are very basic. You get what you paid for., the bathroom is a bit awful with funny steps sunk into the floor. We left two nights earlier as it was too much hassle the transport and the poor amenities of the hotel

Spacious suite. Service was great. However, there was no water supply in the room. We had to call the reception. When the problem was being fixed, black water flowed out. Aircon was not centralised so certain areas of the room is poorly ventilated.

Not what I expected
Upon reaching the hotel, I was fairly disappointed along with my friend. It was small and a like with it's picture of the pool shown on the site but, the bean bags by the pool had some kind of fungus and mouldings to it. it is not hygienic at all! The room was very strange with one too many doors, the lights were too dim and there wasnt any fan in the living room. Also the TV was just ridiculously small, they just one aircon in the bedroom! Not to mention, the toilet.. the toilet itself and the shower water pressure was very VERY weak! would take you forever to take a quick shower. Last but not least, the safety box did not work, refrigerator was not cold and there were too many insects and mosquitos in the room everyday and night and lots of dust under the bed! Safe to say, its a no no! and to add on to that, it's far away from everything and isnt safe to walk at night! about 40 mins walk to the beach!

Lovely place but far away from the beach
The place is lovely and quiet and the staff is friendly. The reception staff helped me for instance to order some food to the home stay and she made sure to understand what I wanted. As for the rooms, they are nice and spacious. However, the AC and water pressure need proper repair/maintenance. On top of that, the location is far away from the center of Seminyak and even further away from the beach. Only when I checked out a day earlier than planned I was told that shuttle transportation was provided. I don't know whether that would have changed my decision.

Not what is appears.
Booked through wotif.com and arrived today to find a dilapidated looking tiny rectangle! Filthy walls, doors, floors and pool. Almost all the wooden floorboards around the pool were loose and uneven. Shower drain was blocked and overflowed into the bathroom. Dead wasp in the basin on arrival. Filthy chair covers. Someone else's hair on the bath towel. We complained straight away (never done this before!) and were shown 2 other villas in the same condition. The reception staff Eddy said some of the villas have been renovated recently but they're all full. We asked to be moved to a room and refunded a difference but told we couldn't get a refund. Currently sitting in reception waiting for the manager who's 'away for an undetermined amount of time'.

Can't afford to miss the Studio- if you're around.
I can only remember my wife whispering to me- we had to travel all this way to find peace. This was undoubtedly a very wise decision that I had made to stay at the Studio during my stay in Bali. It was peaceful, it offered much more than what the hotel charged us. The location was perfect- away from the city hush hush, you could sit in the patio at the front of the villa and stare at the fields outside, or you could sit in the patio at the back. It was like an apartment that offered everything, bedroom, hall, kitchen, washrooms, patio etc.. Also had fun going to Seminyak market at night. Indeed, made our journey memorable.

Best hotel in its price range
I stayed here for 3 nights with my girlfriend and it was delightful. They responded to my emails a few days before and we're ready for us with a driver and late check in with no problems. The superior suite that I booked was the same size of my 1 bedroom apartment back home and much more than expected for the price I paid. Over all the water only went out once, wifi was always good, breakfast delivered to the room in the morning was simple but appetizing. The staff were all very helpful and willing to answer any questions or requests. The location was about a 15 minute walk to some of the main streets but not too busy itself. Great place to stay for a first timer in Bali!

Nice Villa with cheap price but..
We have stayed 3 night at Christmas and we were very satisfied with almost everything. Room facilities were quite good, Every single staff was really friendly and helpful. This Villa is little bit far from central Seminyak but free transport was given when we wanted to go out and they ride us whenever and wherever we wanted. But only few problem make us not give this hotel good rate. Firstly the outside pool was really disappointment. Also we saw a cockroach inside our room two times when we stayed.

Worthwhile stay
Have a very pleasant stay in the hotel. Friendly staffs and pretty clean environment. Price is very reasonable. Getting free shuttle from the hotel to wherever we need to go. They are friendly enough to help book taxi to airport. Even telling us the price difference between their hotel shuttle and blue bird taxi which charge by meters.

big villa, fantastic staff and great environment! loved the view of rice fields. villa has all the amenities we wanted - they even lent us a cable to play music from our phones! the breakfast was so-so though. we liked that it was quiet and a little bit away from the crowds but it was close enough to get where you wanted quite quickly, so no problems. the shuttle bus service from hotel was great to drop you off for some shopping or a day by the beach. we had some plumbing problems in the first 2 days where the hot water was boiling! staff was attentive enough to sort it out quickly.

Great size room and excellent service, location no
The location is not ideal. The road is really busy and not much room for pedestrians and at dark it can be scary and dangerous. You will need to use taxi or scooter pretty much every time you want to go somewhere (which are cheap). You can walk to the nearby restaurants but mainly we took the free hotel van to beach and dinner and then a taxi back to the hotel. The hotel free van service was great. The room was huge but a bit run down. We stayed on the first floor, ground floor does not have much privacy but just a few steps to get into the pool. The pool was small but clean and nice. The mattress was old and cheap, not a good sleep. Aircon was noisy and we slept without it. The staff was extremely friendly and nice, they are the best feature of the place. The $25 USD we paid per night was a good value, including breakfast and wifi.

Great comfortable stay . . . but Noisy
Overall we enjoyed our stay at the Studio. They offer free breakfast and a free shuttle to the city (when available). Make sure you book the shuttle in advance since it is not always available. The Roosters and Dogs made a lot of noise, so be prepared to be woken up at 6 every morning. The location is not the easiest to walk to from the main tourist area in Seminyak, but its still only about a 15-20 minute walk. The breakfast was very good and the staff were helpful and nice. The suites are very nice and large, but our unit had an old tv and a dvd player that didn't work if you are looking to wind down at night. The local market and warung is a 5 minute walk away if you are looking for good cheap food (30,000 Rp for 2 meals).

Great space to spread out away from the center
The Studio offered a very comfortable, spacious one bedroom with living area-- we were impressed by how open and clean it felt, and found it very relaxing to return to after a busy day in Bali. The location is about 10 minutes car ride from the center of Seminyak, and the hotel shuttle is occasionally available to take people out (but not back). This really is not an issue, as taxis are very affordable in Bali. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a bit of peace, or for a family that needs some room for the kids.

Exceptional Staff
I had a great time staying at The Studio. Their staff is remarkable! They were so friendly, helped us out with whatever or whenever we needed it. They gave us advice on what to do and even connected us to people when we wanted to do certain things. They had a great breakfast included and snacks. They offered free shuttle within Seminyak and even free bike rental - which we took advantage of several times. The hotel is a little out of the way of the hustle and bustle but I view this as an advantage as you really experience the calm and serenity that is Bali. Loved staying here, would definitely stay again!
