Overall Hotel Reviews
Based on 8 reviews
I have visited Bali several times and stayed in many hotels and guest houses. In this respect the accommodation at Grandma's was a one-off experience. When my friend and I arrived there was some confusion with the booking, the clerk suggested we'd booked a double room instead of the twin-share as stipulated in the emailed confirmation. This in itself was potentially embarrassing.
While Grandma's was clean, the room was quite small with bed crammed up against the wall. Only 1 pillow was provided and no top sheet. The quilt was grubby and clearly had not been laundered. The bath towels were hardly bigger than a face-washer and there were no glasses for cleaning teeth - we had to get a couple of plastic cups from the adjoining restaurant. No tissues were provided, no minibar or fridge (thereby necessitating having to drink warm bottled water), no tea/coffee-making facilities, no breakfast included - the very first time I've encountered this in all the places I've ever stayed at in Bali. The reception staff feigned a lack of understanding or concern when we raised these issues. Smiling but unhelpful. The swimming pool was undersized and situated right next to the diners in the restaurant so we did not avail ourselves of that facility. The hotel clearly was unprepared for the storm that struck on the night of March 17 and our room, along with several others along the corridor, was flooded with water. The cane awnings at the balcony flapped and banged in the wind all night and robbed us of sleep. The security safe was not attached to the actual room and therefore could quite easily be removed from the room.
I've had broad experience of accommodation throughout Asia and Grandma's fell far short of my expectations given the cost factor and service provided. Overall Grandma's is little more than a glorified youth hostel and not only will I not recommend Grandmas or AsiaRooms to anyone visiting Bali but I'll share my critique with everyone I know in Singapore and Australia.

Very enjoyable short stay
The staff are very friendly and accomodating.
I had dinner at the restaurant and was surprised at the quality and price of the Atlantic Salmon I had, which was one of the best I have eaten.

small room
small room with small bed. Only for sleep. No facility like soap. No restaurant facility. For a single is better here.
Unfinished
Brand New hotel. Room was compact, air con was efficient, bathroom small. Disappointing not to have a fridge in room and the lack of restaurant and swimming pool which are both unfinished was further disappointing. Reception staff friendly and helpful so too were security staff. Not suitable for children. Minute walk to beach. Nightlife in area consists of straight and gay bars and the area is inhabited by plenty of benchong! Quite entertaining. I had a motor scooter so was eay to get around, although there was always a few taxis in the vicinity, If they did not put a fridge in the rooms I would not return to the hotel.
great for 1 or 2 persons
value for money was very good during promo period (330.000 ind rupiah/night)
Great value for the price
For me the most important part was good Wifi so I could do work in the room. Although the restaurant wasn't being built the hotel was great value for what we paid. Very close to the beach, lots of boutique shops close by, that part of Seminyak was a little quieter which was nice from being in Kuta previous years.
