Abian Biu Mansion – Kerobokan

The room itself was very beautiful, nicely decorated with views of lush greenery. However, there were many things that left little to be desired. The staff seemed nice enough but it was hard to communicate with them. Even thought we had to write down our breakfast order and start time, the food would arrive as much as 20minutes early. One staff member even lightly knocked on our door one morning and then opened the door immediately without awaiting a response. The hotel offers a large selection of menu items but the food was really bad so we opted to supplement daily with items from a local bakery. Other issues: the toilet wouldn't flush properly requiring a minimum of 4-5 flushes per use, the pool was ice cold (though, having stayed in 2 other hotels nearby, it seems to be a standard of the area,) and the hotel is far removed from everything, requiring multiple taxi rides daily so be sure to calculate that into your budget.
