▲Three Bedroom Apartment
If your purpose for visiting Bali is shopping, dining, and enjoying the nightlife, and you need an affordable yet comfortable place to stay, Seminyak Square Hotel and Villas makes perfect sense. This three-star hotel is located at Jl. Kayu Aya No. 100, literally meaning ‘a hotel built above a shopping mall’—it sits above the second floor of Seminyak Square Shopping Center. Step out of the elevator, and you’re on Eat Street; walk downstairs, and you’ll find supermarkets, money changers, and restaurants. This location is its biggest selling point, and its prices are more affordable compared to other hotels in the same area.
📍 Location & Surroundings
Location is undoubtedly the hotel’s most impeccable advantage.
The hotel is situated above Seminyak Square Shopping Center, which houses Mega Mart supermarket, money changers, 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 dense restaurant zone of Eat Street (Kayu Aya Street), with renowned spots like La Favela and Ku De Ta within walking distance.
Seminyak Beach is about a 5 to 10-minute walk away, which is considered close for Seminyak’s location. Petitenget Beach is also within walking distance, approximately 400 meters. The airport is about a 25 to 30-minute drive away. Overall, this location is the heart of Seminyak’s shopping and dining scene, meaning staying here puts all of Seminyak’s highlights within walking distance.
🏨 Facilities Overview
The hotel itself is positioned as a three-star property, and while its facilities aren’t luxurious, there are a few highlights worth mentioning.
The rooftop pool is the most praised feature by guests. This pool is moderately sized, surrounded by wooden decking, and equipped with white lounge chairs and umbrellas. It offers a view overlooking Seminyak’s cityscape, creating a great atmosphere in the evening. There’s also a pool bar where you can order drinks and relax.
For dining, the hotel has two restaurants: Aviary Restaurant offers all-day international cuisine, while Braga Cafe (also known as Spicery) primarily serves breakfast, featuring both Western and Indonesian dishes. Guests generally find the breakfast buffet abundant, with a diverse selection of items. Additionally, the hotel features Essential SPA, offering deep tissue massage, hot stone therapy, aromatherapy, and body treatments, complete with a mineral hot spring bath.
Other amenities include a 24-hour front desk, complimentary valet parking, luggage storage, ATM services, currency exchange, and airport transfers (additional charges apply) as well as shuttle services within the Seminyak area.
🛏️ Room Types
The property offers a total of 41 rooms, with options ranging from Standard Rooms, Superior Rooms, Deluxe Rooms, Junior Suites, to one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartment-style accommodations.
The overall decor follows a minimalist modern style, featuring wooden furniture against white walls. While it doesn’t exude a distinctly Balinese aesthetic, it’s clean and sleek. Guests consistently praise the spaciousness of the rooms, with Junior Suites and above offering particularly generous space. The two-bedroom apartments come with separate living and dining areas, plus a small kitchen, making them ideal for families or larger groups.
▲Apartment-style room
Standard amenities include air conditioning, flat-screen TV, minibar fridge, electric kettle, safe, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Some rooms feature balconies overlooking Seminyak’s cityscape, with the ‘I Love Bali’ art installation visible in the distance.
Room selection tip: For larger groups or those wanting kitchen facilities, opt for the two-bedroom apartment—it offers excellent value for the space at this price point. Junior Suites come with pool views, but note that ‘pool view’ doesn’t necessarily mean direct pool access. Confirm details before booking.
▲Villa-style accommodation
This hotel’s villa accommodations have a unique feature: they’re separate from the main hotel located above Seminyak’s shopping mall.
Both one-bedroom and two-bedroom villas come with private pools. Even the one-bedroom units are notably spacious, with the two-bedroom options being even larger. They feature luxury hotel-grade bedding including Egyptian cotton sheets, pillow menus, and premium mattresses. The layout includes separate living and dining areas plus a small kitchen equipped with a fridge, microwave, and stove—perfect for extended stays or group trips. Bathrooms come with robes, slippers, and premium toiletries, offering a noticeable upgrade in quality compared to standard business-class rooms.
In short, while located in Seminyak’s prime central area, these villa accommodations allow you to enjoy the resort-like experience of a private pool without having to retreat to remote countryside locations—a rare combination among Seminyak’s lodging options.
👥 Ideal Guests
Ideal for budget-conscious independent travelers, especially first-time visitors to Bali focusing on Seminyak. Its prime location is a major advantage, offering competitive pricing compared to surrounding areas in the same district. Staying here means you can explore all of Seminyak without spending extra on transportation. For family trips, the two-bedroom apartment option is very reasonable, providing ample space and a kitchen for self-catering. If you prioritize design or resort atmosphere, this might not meet your expectations, but for a clean, well-located base, it offers excellent value for money.
💬 Guest Reviews
A returning guest mentioned that the location is right at the doorstep of Eat Street, allowing all needs to be met within walking distance. They keep coming back because the apartment spaces are very spacious, especially the two-bedroom apartments, which offer unbeatable value for this price and location.
Another guest shared that this was their third stay at this hotel. The Mega Mart supermarket downstairs is very convenient, and getting a Grab to the airport or riding a Gojek to Canggu or Legian is hassle-free. The Junior Suite comes with a small kitchen, making it particularly useful for long-term stays.
⚠️ Honest Drawbacks
A few things to note. First, the hotel is next to a busy mall and street, so rooms facing the street might 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 through, requiring a bit of patience.
