Mercure Kuta Beach
The main selling point of the hotel is the location. It is strategically located next to Hard Rock Hotel Kuta and it is only 10 minutes walking distance to the nearest shopping mall, Matahari and 20 minutes walk to Discovery Mall.
Foods is easily available around the hotel compound area. Just walk out from to the main entrance and you can get fast food and seafood at both your right and left hand side. The price is quite reasonable.
If you prefer to eat the traditional Indonesia food such as Bebe Bertutu (Duck), you have to walk to Jalan Bakung Sari in which you will find restaurant Dayu I and further down the road Dayu 2.
The room set up is quite old due to the years of operation of Mercure Kuta Beach hotel. The bedsheet of the room that I am staying smell a little bit like cochroach. :)
Overall, if you are looking for strategic location with medium range of price, you can opt to stay here. If you prefer to spend more time on the beach, then it is advisable that you stay at Legian or Seminyak's beach area.
