I stayed at Swissbel Bay View deluxe room during my recent short trip to Bali for business purpose. The property itself is quite old including the furniture, but the room is cozy and price is really reasonable. There are many old hotels all over the places, however as long as they are well maintained and clean, this is not a big issue for me. Size of the room is good enough for me, since I was travelling alone. It also should not be a big issue for double occupancy with less luggage. If you are a couple or friends travelling with huge luggage, I would recommend you to choose the 1 bedroom suite, since it is very spacious and worth the price. Staff are very friendly and nice. Bathroom was clean, all amenities were in place. There was no minibar at all coz of their policy. If you require to have minibar, you need to ask for it and they will provide it to you. Breakfast had a lot of choices, and they tasted good.Since the hotel is located up the hill, it's quite far from shops and everywhere else. I rented a car for a day, and basically bought everything I needed before returning to hotel. If you are travelling for holiday and want to relax, this place is really great. All u need is just to have your transportation arranged during your stay (renting a car or motorcycle) and you will be fine.Swimming pools are awesome (even I didn't have a chance to swim at all) and view from rooftop restaurant is unbelievable. You could see the bay and sunset. From the rooftop restaurant, I could see the villas which belong to this hotel too. Each villa has private swimming pool and trust me, they look awesome. I met a lot of honeymooners stayed in those villas. Only two things that maybe hotel can improve, which are to have a free wi-fi and also adding more of food selection in the menu (there was no many choices of food, and if u stay there for longer period, this can be an issue). I would definitely come back to this hotel if I am on business trip.

The Swiss-Belhotel is located on a small hill and commands beautiful views of the bay, the staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is very relaxing. Breakfast is a highlight as the views are excellent. Shuttle services are available to key locations and a local taxi will charge Rp 100,000 to the Airport area. I found this an affordable hotel with a quiet atmosphere and a refreshing ambiance. Recommended for travelers on a budget.

We got a fantastic deal with this hotel for 6 nights in March 2013. On review of the hotel through trip advisor we were a little scepticle as the reviews were not great. On arrival to the hotel we were very impressed. The grounds were well maintained and the view was stunning. We originally booked into a deluxe room, which is a very basic, but clean room. On our third night our air con broke. We made one phone call and we were re located within minutes to another room. At breakfast the next morning, the manager personally introduced himself to us with his sincere apologese. We were impressed with the standard of care he showed. Without asking he upgraded us to the suite, with no hesitations. Now the suites are spectacular. The rooms are huge, the views awesome. I highly recommend spending the extra for these rooms!!!As for the staff they could not be more pleasent or eager to serve you if they tried. Nothing was a problem for any of the staff, they always had smiles. The pools were fantastic, the roof top pool and its view were to die for.The food was standard for all bali hotels, the location quite yet easily accessable with courtesy busses and taxis. Taxis to Kuta $8.I would defiently recommend this hotel as the view, service and staff are amazing.

This is the third time have stayed here. Welcomed back with everything ready for our arrival. We had a villa with our own pool. Was great - plenty of room, own yard, outside area. Unfortunately it rained nearly the whole week. The staff are always friendly expecially the security (which there is plenty of). The restaurant has great meals and the view is to die for. Watching the building of the new highway across the bay was great. The only comment was regarding the TV - There is only one english speaking channel CNN - Also Wi Fi - This is the only place is Bali where you have to pay for service. 50,000 for a day. Not only that but you have to renew everyday which is a lot of inconvenience. I had this out with the Manager and he apologised and said that the TV and Wi Fi were all being upgraded. This is a great place to stay but bear in mind it is a long way to anything. Only 30,000 in cab in Nusa Dua and they have free bus to shopping and to Kuta.

We came to spend some quiet family time together (2kids 5 &8 years, their grandparents and us) and we got exactly that. The resort despite having several conferences on while we were there for 1 week was quiet and peaceful.We had a 3bedroom suite (2bedroom suite plus deluxe room) together and it was nice and spacious. The deluxe room was small and dark but since most of the time was spent together in the living room, it did not matter. The other two bedrooms in the suite was spacious, bright and we especially loved the little sitting reading alcove.The pools were inviting and always quiet. Limited lounge chairs but it was never busy so that was not an issue.Restaurant had a nice view but food was OK. Local food was of course better than the western fare.The staff are always helpful and friendly, from front desk to housekeeping to restaurant.The location is not great, you are in the middle of nowhere. No restaurants etc nearby. One of the days we were feeling energetic, kids and grandparents in tow we walked all the way for lunch to a local restaurant nearby (30minute walk) called "Babi Guling Rahayu". it is right next to klinik Rahayu on the main road. The local speciality Babi guling (roast suckling pig) and Ayam Betutu (chicken in some light curry broth) was fantastic. Authentic, good price and very local. Then, there was the 30 minute walk back to the hotel (UPHILL most of the way) to work off the lunch.We checked out the hotel's spa before booking. We looked at the treatment rooms and found them to be damp, water stains all around the bath and shower area that make it uninviting. We did not end up doing any spa treatments there. We found another place called Taman Sari royal heritage spa within walking distance from the hotel. We did a 2.5 hr treatment with massage, scrub and wrap for USD90. The treatment itself was great but the room smelled a bit damp and musty. It did not make me feel as relaxed as i should , perhaps its the colorful batik like dark sheets and towels. i would have preferred plain clean sheets to lie on. The sheets were probably very clean but with all the dark colors and patterns, one could not tell and therefore i could not fully relax. Overall, when compared to Phuket spas around the same price range, Phuket beats this place hands down in atmosphere and friendliness.Somehow, I was given the impression that this hotel is in Nusa Dua through my booking via Wyndham and also through some web references. This place is not in the "gated Nusa Dua " beach and resorts area as most of the other 5 stars hotels are. It is about 15 minutes by shuttle to the Nusa Dua beach area. Shuttle is provided by hotel at certain times of the day and you need to book a day in advance with reception.
