Excellent hotel, good varied breakfasts in two large restaurants, partly à la carte, but a huge buffet. The hotel is beautiful, everything is suitable for parties, but at the same time it is a cozy space, excellent bars, and it is not particularly noticeable that this is a W chain, since we did not see any loud parties in 4 days. Drinks and food are served quickly by the pool; the waiter can be called with a button. Throughout the day they bring compliments - shots, frozen fruit, or offer to wipe your glasses! The room had an ocean view, Spectacular Ocean Facing Escape, you can watch sunsets from the sofa, the bathtub is open, the toilet is behind glass, but now they do it all over the place, for some reason. They clean cleanly and quickly, the minibar is decent, but there is no coffee machine, I was surprised ((( Deposit is $100 per night, dollars upon check out can be returned to you, and you can pay by card or cash. There is no beach as such, since it is impossible to swim due to the huge waves, you can only watch beautiful sunsets. The hotel is in a busy place, you can get to Seminyak by buggy, 5 min. We walked. Opposite the entrance there is an excellent Italian restaurant, reservations are required, and there is a nightclub nearby. The hotel itself is quiet in the evenings)). Well, the famous traffic jams of Seminyak and Canggu will make you not go anywhere))

I stayed in a villa for 3 nights and a standard room for 2 nights. I liked it so much that I extended my stay. A beach where you can see the most beautiful sunset in Seminyak. It was also nice that no one could enter and only hotel users could use it. Room service was good, and the food at the breakfast restaurant was also very good. There were two breakfast restaurants, and we used the one with a sea view. Everything was good, but first of all, I think the view did everything it could. The staff are very friendly, and the room manager, Jack, is very kind and thinks from the customer's perspective. He helps us passionately and helps us make perfect arrangements for booking an additional 3 nights. It's true. Pro. Manager Eka visited frequently to check in detail for any inconveniences, listened to even the slightest complaint, and brought the entire team to make up for any problems while we were out. They are so friendly and attentive, making you feel like you are receiving good service. It was my birthday, and all the staff congratulated me sincerely. I think it will be an unforgettable birthday party. Because of this kindness, I plan to visit the villa again next time. The villa swimming pool was very clean... I found a snail as a first-class local resident. I used the Dream studio on the first floor of the hotel for special memories... I got so many great photos of my life. This place was truly amazing. In particular, professional photographer Rizad was the best photographer I have ever met. The photo is so cool, like the main character in a movie poster. I think it was really well taken. Risma was by my side throughout the shoot, taking pictures with my cell phone, carrying my luggage and helping me very kindly, and Julio and Dewa ayu kindly served us. In particular, Dewa ayu listened to our overall requirements well. I am so thankful that I have great memories thanks to everyone. I definitely want to go to Bali again! I will visit W hotel Bali again and take pictures at Dream studio!^^

We stayed for 2 nights and it was the most relaxing time, breakfast buffet is next level, Adi’s hospitality is worth going there for. We had fun bidding for our dinner on Saturday which was freshly caught fish, Adi helped me get a good price!! By the pool the cocktails flowed and it’s the little extras like fresh sangria shots and sunglasses cleaned that made me smile. I will be back 💞

My best holiday ever! Wow, I was dazzled upon arrival at the W Hotel's signature service, architecture and atmosphere. I loved everything from the warm greeting at arrival, the welcome cocktail and cart ride to the villa, the immaculate one-bedroom villa with a private pool, the vibrant restaurants & bars, the super cool DJ music & especially the Silent Disco event, the delicious breakfast & service, the room service and spotless cleaners, the 24-hour serene spa, the location was perfect with immaculate landscaping, the pool areas and especially the personalised, friendly, team that couldn't do enough to cater for my needs. It exceeded my expectations, and I did not want to leave! Thank you, W Bali, Adi, and your team, for making my holiday so memorable. xoxo

I’ve stayed at this hotel at least 10 times since it first opened but I’ve not been back since the pandemic. The service at the hotel, particularly at Away Spa, is as great as ever. I also did the free yoga and fitness classes at the resort, which were fantastic.
I used points for this stay and at check-in was advised that a room upgrade was not available because I already booked a higher category room. I think W or Marriott should be clear on the website that there’s no point using more points for the higher category room if you’re an elite Bonvoy member because the upgrade is to the Ocean Facing room only. Having said this, the kind front desk team member sensed my disappointment and offered to upgrade us to a villa for the 2nd & 3rd night, which was a very nice gesture.
The rooms we stayed in (Ocean Facing and 1 bedroom villa) were very well maintained. Great amenities as always and the housekeeping team do a great job with cleaning.
The W Bali is very centrally located to shops and restaurants. While it’s in Seminyak, once you’re inside the resort it is very peaceful (especially in your villa).
Thanks W Bali team for another great stay. Looking forward to our next visit!

Stayed for 5 nights over the new year. We had a villa room which was great however the curtains in the room let in light and so as soon as its dawn you are woken up which I don’t like. For myself the curtains should be black out. This meant my sleep wasn’t great.
The service across the hotel was good and Duta our connector was superb and helped book a boat trip with less than 24 hours before. It was a great day out.
Breakfast and on the whole ok. On the 1st Jan had to wait 15 mins for a table as they closed the other restaurant and was manic and after waiting another 15 mins for coffee I went to the counter and had to grab someone to aid with making me a cup. Then the eggs came and they were hard. The breakfast this day wasn’t great.
We had New Year’s Eve tickets which we didn’t need to purchase as the hotel gave us these for free (frustrating as when we asked about the event they knew we were staying). Also once in the hotel they didn’t check for tickets anyway and so weren’t required. With friends we did have a seating area booked but service was hit and miss . They had limited food with most options not available. We had someone with dietary issues (both gluten free and lactose intolerant) and it was confirmed they could cater. When we tried to order this was a saga. They delivered a gluten free pizza but put cheese on it, despite being clear no cheese, and then they said no more gluten free and so my friend had no food all night. It was also far too hot with no fans. We all ended up back at our room as a result of poor service, no food and too warm. Would not pay to attend if I ever returned. Also don’t get a room at the front as the music is loud and goes till 3am. There was also an unfortunate issue with the fireworks which came in land. About half a dozen people were in reception who had been hit by the stray fireworks. A fragment of a firework did come our way but luckily skimmed behind myself and landed in my husband’s drink, we were lucky.
The gym is surprisingly small but ok. The spa is great and open 24/7!! We never used the pool area but seemed nice.
Overall we would stay again just not over new year, and would not pay for the event and the rooms need to have blackout curtains/blinds installed.

Our stay at the W Bali in Seminyak was simply fantastic and exceeded our expectations. As soon as we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by super friendly staff who were always helpful and courteous throughout our stay. The villa we were staying in was not only spacious, but also very clean and comfortable. The entire complex was also very well maintained and attractively designed, which contributed to a relaxed atmosphere. We were particularly impressed by the breakfast offer (Fire Restaurant), which offered a wide selection of regional products and international dishes. The waitress Daisy N. particularly stood out by reading our every wish from our lips. She was not only attentive, but also incredibly friendly and helped to make our breakfast a special experience every morning. Thank you for that!!
We were also thrilled by the activities on offer. The wide range of options, which are offered at fair prices, ensured lots of fun and variety. The personal tour guide and the cocktail mixing course are particularly recommended!
Overall, we can absolutely recommend the W Bali in Seminyak. The combination of super friendly staff, a flawless pool villa and grounds, a varied breakfast selection with regional products and, last but not least, the great activities at fair prices make this stay an unforgettable experience. We would love to come back!

My wife and I were made to feel welcome from the moment we stepped out of our grab car at the hotel lobby. Yuliana and Ella were very pleasant to talk to, joked around, and answered any and all questions we had about W Bali and Indonesia. We asked to check in at 1200 due to the hotel rate we selected. Yuliana and Ella assured us that they would do their best with our hotel room request.
We ate the Wagyu steak (it was tasty) and talked with Yanti and she gave us some recommendations for the area and we talked with her about her family and the surrounding area. Yanti made a Starfish Bloo Sunday brunch reservation for us with the ocean side view (we unfortunately cancelled because I felt sick).
After lunch, Ella booked an ocean view room for us at 1200 and Harry handled our baggage and answered any questions we had about our room. Harry was very professional and made sure he answered all our questions about our room. Our room layout was great except for the shower head water pressure (we like strong water pressure from the shower head).
The poolside was relaxing and the pools themselves were never too crowded. The beach was right in front of the hotel with great views of the Indian Ocean. Dewa took great care of us as our server and helped to set up our poolside lounge chairs. He was great to talk with and his customer service was excellent.
We booked the Woobar Bali two days in a row and Yuma took great care of us and booked us the best couches and seats and was fun to talk with on the first day. The next day Panda and Rein also took great care of us and made sure we also had a good couch and came around periodically to check up on us.
We ate at the Starfish Bloo two days in a row with excellent ocean views (we ate breakfast at 0720). Rindi and Winnie took great care of us and laughed and joked with us as well. Winne even gave us two special drinks to celebrate the Balinese culture.
Finally, Ella and one of the other front desk staff made sure our check out time was squared away and took pictures of my wife and me at their recommended spots. All the hotel staff were great to talk with and were always pleasant be around. I highly recommend this resort.

Rooms - sleek clean typical modern W style. Air con is a tiny bit weak (seems like it shuts off a few hours a day?). Otherwise perfect.
Food - great buffet breakfast included. Not a ton of restaurants but decent and enough They do “recycled” bottles for water. Would suggest fully closed/sealed bottles or filtered water filling stations
Gym - adequate, a bit small Spa - did not use Service - outstanding, especially concierge!
Location - perfect in heart of Seninyak
Overall - awesome, loved it
