▲Three Bedroom Apartment
If your Bali trip revolves around shopping, dining, and nightlife, and you need an affordable yet comfortable place to stay, Seminyak Square Hotel and Villas makes perfect sense. This three-star hotel, located at Jl. Kayu Aya No. 100, literally translates to ‘the hotel above the mall’—it sits above Seminyak Square Shopping Center. Step out of the elevator, and you’re on Eat Street; head downstairs, and you’ll find supermarkets, currency exchange, and restaurants. Its prime location is its biggest selling point, and its prices are more affordable compared to other hotels in the area.
📍 Location and Surroundings
The location is undoubtedly this hotel’s strongest advantage.
The hotel is situated above Seminyak Square Shopping Mall, which houses Mega Mart supermarket, currency exchange, pharmacies, clothing stores, and multiple restaurants. You won’t need to call a Grab for shopping or errands. Just a few steps outside, you’ll find the bustling restaurant scene of Eat Street (Kayu Aya Street), with popular spots like La Favela and Ku De Ta within walking distance.
Seminyak Beach is just a 5 to 10-minute walk away, which is considered close for this area. Petitenget Beach is also within walking distance, about 400 meters. The airport is a 25 to 30-minute drive away. Overall, this location places you right in the heart of Seminyak’s shopping and dining district, putting all the best of Seminyak within easy walking distance.
🏨 Facilities Overview
The hotel itself is rated three stars, and while its facilities aren’t luxurious, there are a few highlights worth mentioning.
The rooftop pool receives the most praise from guests. This medium-sized pool is surrounded by wooden decking, equipped with white loungers and parasols, and offers a view overlooking Seminyak. It’s particularly atmospheric in the evening. Adjacent to the pool is a pool bar where you can order drinks and relax.
For dining, the hotel features two restaurants: Aviary Restaurant serves international cuisine all day, while Braga Cafe (also known as Spicery) primarily offers breakfast with a mix of Western and Indonesian dishes. Guests generally find the breakfast buffet to be abundant and varied. Additionally, the Essential SPA offers deep tissue massage, hot stone therapy, aromatherapy, and body treatments, complete with a mineral hot spring bath.
Other convenient facilities include a 24-hour front desk, complimentary valet parking, luggage storage, an ATM, currency exchange services, and airport transfers (for an additional fee) as well as shuttle services within the Seminyak area.
🛏️ Room Types
There are a total of 41 rooms, categorized into Standard Room, Superior Room, Deluxe Room, Junior Suite, as well as one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartment-style units.
The overall decor follows a simple, modern style with wooden furniture and white walls—not particularly Balinese in design, but clean and neat. Guests consistently praise the generally spacious rooms, with Junior Suites and above being especially roomy. The two-bedroom apartments feature a separate living room, dining area, and small kitchen, making them ideal for families or larger groups.
▲Apartment-style rooms
Standard amenities include air conditioning, flat-screen TV, minibar fridge, electric kettle, safe, and free Wi-Fi. Some room types feature balconies overlooking Seminyak city, with a large ‘I Love Bali’ art installation within view.
Room selection tip: For larger groups or those wanting kitchen facilities, opt for the two-bedroom apartment — it offers excellent space value at this price point. The Junior Suite has pool views, but note that some rooms only ‘see the pool’ rather than having direct pool access. Confirm before booking.
▲ Villa Accommodation
This hotel’s villa rooms have a unique feature: they’re separate from the hotel located above Seminyak Mall.
Both one-bedroom and two-bedroom villas come with private pools. The one-bedroom is already quite spacious, while the two-bedroom is even larger, featuring Egyptian cotton sheets, pillow menus, and premium mattresses typical of boutique hotels. The layout includes a separate living room, dining area, and small kitchen equipped with a fridge, microwave, and stove — perfect for extended stays or group trips. Bathrooms come with robes, slippers, and toiletries, with overall quality noticeably higher than standard business-class rooms.
In short, while located in Seminyak’s prime central area, these villa rooms allow you to enjoy the resort-like experience of a private pool without having to stay in remote countryside locations — a rare combination among Seminyak accommodation options.
👥 Ideal For
Best suited for budget-conscious independent travelers, especially first-time visitors to Bali focusing on Seminyak. The location is exceptionally strong, with prices noticeably competitive compared to surrounding areas in the same district. Staying here means you can explore all of Seminyak without additional transportation costs. The two-bedroom apartment is also a reasonable choice for family trips, offering sufficient space and a kitchen for self-catering. If you prioritize design aesthetics or resort atmosphere, this might not meet your expectations. However, for a clean, well-located accommodation base, it offers excellent value.
💬 Guest Reviews
A returning guest mentioned that the location is right at the entrance of Eat Street, making it easy to walk and fulfill all needs. They keep coming back because the apartment space is very spacious, especially the two-bedroom apartment, which offers great value for money that’s hard to find elsewhere at this price point and location.
Another guest noted that this was their third stay at this hotel. The Mega Mart supermarket downstairs is very convenient, and calling Grab to the airport or riding Gojek to Canggu or Legian is very smooth. The Junior Suite has a small kitchen where you can cook your own meals, which is particularly useful for long-term stays.
⚠️ Honest Drawbacks
A few points to note. First, the hotel is located next to a busy mall and street, so rooms facing the street may experience traffic and nighttime music noise. It’s recommended to choose higher floors or rooms facing away from the street. Second, several guests have mentioned that the hot water takes a while to come out, so you might need to wait a bit for hot water.
