Cleanliness and Maintenance
We felt that Hotel Indigo was very clean, but that there were small details that were occasionally missed.
The same was true of the maintenance, which seemed pretty good for the most part, but then you’d run into a small part of the hotel that hadn’t received the same level of care.
Sleep Quality
We certainly had no complaints about the quality of our sleep at this hotel; we found the rooms to have good ventilation, to be lightproof and noise resistant.
We also felt that the beds were conducive to sleep and were large, comfortable and had quality linens, pillows, etc.
Staff Attitude And Service Culture
Similarly, we felt that the staff were truly excellent. We were offered a free floral arrangement on our first day when we noted it was our anniversary, and there were lots of nice touches from the team throughout our stay.
They really do care about you having a wonderful experience, and it shows.
Check-in/Check-out Experience
The check-in and check-out processes were perfectly decent, and we weren’t kept waiting for very long at all before we were in our rooms.
Bathroom Quality & Functionality
The bathrooms are superb, large, with great toiletries, soft towels and first-rate water pressure. We’d come back for the bathrooms, to be honest.
Value For Money
We felt that Hotel Indigo was acceptable value for money, though there is a lot of competition in this price bracket and you can afford to be very picky over the features you want from a resort.
Food And Beverage Execution
Sugarsand is generally recognised as one of Bali’s better restaurants, and we think you’d be happy to come and try it without staying in the hotel.
We found all the meals here to be tasty, well-presented and enjoyable. The drinks are good too, and they look great in your Instagram feed.
Location & Immediate Surroundings
You can’t really go wrong when you stay in Seminyak, it’s a safe area with so much to do right on the doorstep of the hotel, including some of Bali’s best bars and restaurants.
You can also use it to explore the rest of the island, as it’s only a short-ish drive (depending on Bali’s traffic situation) to most other popular destinations.
Facilities & Amenities Vs Promise
The facilities and amenities were as advertised, and mostly, they’re good too. However, we couldn’t help wishing there were a few more touches, particularly a kids’ club, given how many families seem to use this hotel.
Overall “Personality”
We felt that this was a very nice resort, but there wasn’t anything that really stood out to us to remember it by for future years, either.
Summary: Our Overview Of Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak Beach by IHG
We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak Beach by IHG, and we’d definitely be happy to return here at any time, particularly if somebody else was paying again.
