Another excellent 2 night stay here and once again the service was great. Upgraded to the brilliant Sky Suite which gives great views of the city. Used our welcome drinks at Vertigo which offers amazing rooftop views. Breakfast was fantastic, smallish buffet but could choose as much as you wanted from the menu. Had a great Beef Rendang on the outdoor terrace. Prompt check in and check out and staff were impeccable for whole stay. Will definitely be back.

Property: Pullman Legian Beach
Status: Accor Plus Diamond
Room booked: 2x Premium Deluxe Ocean view rooms
Room upgraded/type: No
Rate: $196p/n each room
Free internet: Yes
Free Breakfast: Yes
Early check in/late out: Automatic 3pm check out granted
Welcome drink: Yes, 4 digital plus given another 10x drinks vouchers at check in. Used at the pool bars
Welcome gift: Yes, small cake and nuts plate plus 2 bottles of Bali cider

Booked this property for 3 nights against better judgement as we had a large group on holidays together and moving into a Villa together once everyone arrived. We were all coming over at different times and at the suggestion of some others we booked this property. I will start with the positives and that is the room views are pretty darn good and the staff were mostly great. Large breakfast areas with not a bad spread. The property itself isn’t too bad with some decent pools and bars. Now the negatives. Check in is at 3pm and we arrived just before 3pm to be told our rooms weren’t ready yet. OK no problems I’ll have a drink at the bar and relax. Room was finally ready at 4:45pm which is quite frankly pretty poor. No upgrade offered as a Diamond and told hotel is full for school holidays but was offered 10x drinks vouchers as a sweetener for being a Diamond member. Welcome gift was a bit average but no problem with that. Room whilst offering great views and having a decent cooling system had beds that were harder than the floor and absolutely uncomfortable to the point one night I grabbed extra towels from housekeeping to use as padding. Being located right on Legian beach meant that very little sleep was had on any night as the soundproofing is substandard and the constant fireworks and motorbikes throughout the night made sleeping impossible.
Was very happy to get out of there and into our Villa and definitely won’t be returning to this property. Will be giving suitable feedback to management on the stay

Glad you found some positives in the stay but your mention of the noise and rock hard bed is certainly making me questioning my stay later this month, again, although i didn't book this room so maybe i'll get lucky in the back corner. My thinking was to book somewhere sort of central to keep it easy but not if we can't sleep well for the 5 nights. Thanks for the review!

Property: Novotel, Melbourne Airport
Status: Accor Plus Gold
Room booked: Superior Room with 1 Queen,
Room upgraded/type: Yes, King deluxe
Rate: $208
Free internet: Yes
Early check in/late out: Not needed
Welcome drink: Yes, card. I grabbed a way drinking cab sav with my pasta
Welcome gift: 2x still water and socks!

Fantastic hotel! Easy to walk to from terminals, airport views, good restaurant, friendly staff and nice rooms. But the real jewel of this hotel is the gym. The gym is easily better than most stand alone gyms I have ever used. The range of equipment is huge, duplicated and high quality.

On our last night stay there were people launching fireworks off the roof of our hotel at 0345 on a Tuesday night.

Thanks for your review @gaz0303 am using Stay Plus night in early December ( rate $255)
Sounds like you did not take advantage of shuttle or parking, if you did though, your thoughts?

Great to see another Novotel Airport hotel providing take away socks as a gift. Here are my pair from the Novotel Montréal Airport when I stayed in July:

What on earth?? It's been a while since i've been to Bali, but i don't recall fireworks being all that common, maybe i've just never stayed this close to the beach before. Hmm

On the beach they go off every hour or so for about 30-40 seconds at a time. Sounds like rapid shot gunfire. Maybe the rooms at the back of the property are shielded from the noise

Sorry, I walked. 10 minutes to T1 departures.
