Novotel Bali Ngurah Rai Airport

It was the last day of our vacation in Bali, we checked out from Hawaii Bali Villa around 11.00am using Grab car.

That was the first time we were using Grab apps in foreign country and our first ever experience using Grab. Frankly, it was so fast and so efficient! I think we will use more if we were here again.

Our flight back to Kuala Lumpur was around 8.55pm, actually there was still a lot of time to visit a place or two if want. But we were thinking of may be just drop our luggage at the air port first, then only took a Taxi or Grab to the nearest place and walk around.

Unfortunately, during we reached air port we can hardly find one shop that can do the luggage storage and it really costs a boom just to put one luggage.

Plus seeing the weather was so hot, and we were thinking of may be just check-in to the air port hotel and rest before the flight tonight. And, here we went to the Novotel Bali Ngurah Airport.

The hotel is located within walking distance from the arrivals exit. It is well signposted, however is marked as "Airport Hotel" rather than Novotel. It took about 5mins to walk under a covered walkway.

We went up to the reception counter and asked about the rate as we only may be have few hours only.

Thus, the front desk staff is very helpful and offered us a 4 hours stay at the discounted rate and we shall check-out at 4pm. It was due to we have to check-in to the counter around 6.00pm.

Check in was friendly and we were given a welcome drink while they checked us in. The porter escorted us and our luggage to the room which was on the third floor.

The room was light and a bit small but it was sufficient enough for us as we just took a rest before our flight.

It was clean throughout and still had a new feel to it. The bed was comfortable. There was a safe. Tea and coffee making facility and the complementary in-room Wi-Fi was decent.

The bathroom was clean with a western style toilet. The shower was a large rainfall style one with view into the room. There is a privacy blind as well. Water temperature varied from cool to scalding during shower which was disappointing in an otherwise great room.

There is a nice pool in an inner courtyard with some loungers. Both children and Daddy went for a swim after put down our luggage in the room.

It was a great ‘short stay’ for us and it is really convenient for us to go to the check-in to the International Departure Hall with the special access  given.

This actually expedite the process of checking and clearing the custom of our luggage. The staffs are very friendly and polite. We would definitely stay again if transiting through Bali.
