Ping Hotel Seminyak Bali

The location was great. Close to beach, restaurants, kiosks, ATM machines. Fridge in the room was a bonus. Curtains in room were super dark, and the doors to the balcony sealed very tight to prevent noise coming from pool area and from other balconies. Unfortunately, that's about it.

One of those hotels that look great in the pictures, but when you inspect closer, doesn't live up to what it's portraying. The room was poorly cleaned and maintained. First thing I noticed was the mouldy stain marks on the white pillow slips. Next was the smelling bathroom, fitted with a continuous running/leaky toilet, a maintenance issue. The bathroom floor itself looked like it hasn't had a proper mop for a long time, only a sweep over. The air-conditioner also felt like the filters hadn't been cleaned for a long time as the air coming out was more humid rather than a dry air, even at a low temperature, which explains the water damaged walls and ceilings. A damp room. Come morning time, expect to hear cleaning staff around 7-7:30am knocking on doors for room cleaning service, and pushing loud hard-wheeled cleaning carts along the tiled corridors, talking loudly waking up everyone as they go. I didn't have a single good night sleep there over 5 nights, and I ended up having to go to another hotel for my final night just so I had enough sleep for my next day travels, not bothering to ask for a refund. Tip: Leave a Do Not Disturb sign on your door the whole time. As for breakfast. Don't waste your time, go and find something on the street. The staff certainly didn't care too much for the style of breakfast, a typical, bland, cheap hotel style breakfast with all corners cut on costs. It's a shame that a hotel looking the way it does in the location it is in, is not up to the standard of what it's trying to present, and that's a managerial issue. At least start with training your cleaning staff how to clean and what to look out for when doing so.
