Swiss-Belhotel Petitenget is an upper-middle-range hotel with a full range of facilities, 112 modern rooms, and rice field views. The bright and fresh hotel is on the outskirts of downtown Petitenget, but it's within walking distance from bars and restaurants, plus a 15-minute drive from the beach. Rooms are spacious and feature clean contemporary interiors, parquet wood floors, balconies, and a blend of modern and traditional Balinese decorations. Facilities include a swimming pool with a poolside bar, a restaurant serving international cuisine, a happening bar, a small spa, and a tiny fitness center. Free breakfast, shuttle services, and Wi-Fi add value to already reasonable rates. As an alternative, Daun Bali Seminyak Hotel is even cheaper and has rice field views and decent facilities -- but the rooms aren't as modern.
Scene
A modern urban hotel with rice field views, breezy common areas, and a relaxed atmosphere
Swiss-Belhotel Petitenget has a laid-back vibe. Although the hotel is located pretty near to Seminyak's buzzing nightlife scene, the hotel tends to be more popular with families and couples than with partygoers. The property features rice field views, breezy common areas, and stylish interiors with modern and traditional Balinese design elements. Guests tend to congregate around the hotel's outdoor swimming pool throughout the day and it's often buzzing with activity. Although, the pool is fairly cramped and there are limited lounge chairs, so it can get crowded at times. Guests can order cocktails and light bites while sitting at the pool. The lobby area adjoins the pool and features a polished modern look with cream-colored marble floors, a large marble reception desk, comfy upholstered couches, stylish metal lighting fixtures, and natural stone accent walls. Paon Restaurant has an eclectic range of seating both indoors and out on the terrace overlooking the rice fields, swimming pool, and street. A-Bar has a more happening vibe and is popular with both in-house and outside guests. The bar is set overlooking the buzzing street and features industrial interior stylings, a pool table, and a karaoke machine. The bar has frequent live music events and daily sporting events are projected onto a large screen.
Location
Near bars, restaurants, and shops, plus a 15-minute drive from downtown Seminyak and beach clubs
The hotel is located on the outskirts of downtown Petitenget, near bars, restaurants, spas, and boutiques. Seminyak's opulent Beach clubs like Potato Head, W Bali, and KU DE TA are all within a 15-minute drive from the hotel. Finns Beach Club, on Berawa Beach, is around a 20-minute drive from the hotel and Canggu is about 30 minutes away. Jl. Kayu Aya, a buzzing downtown Seminyak locale lined with nightclubs, restaurants, bars, and boutiques is a 20-minute drive. Kuta Beach and Legian can be reached in about 30 minutes by car. Guests should budget about an hour for airport transfers and around 90 minutes for transfers to Ubud.
