Scene
Sleek urban hotel with modern facilities and eccentric decor
Combining industrial design and colorful pop touches -- including bold photo and pop-art murals -- this four-pearl resort is an appealing options for those wishing to stay in the center of Seminyak. The property features an eccentric primary-colored facade consisting of balconies complete with reclining human statues, and huge pipes running down from the roof to the entrance. Just as funky, the lobby is home to walls of bicycle wheels, gray ceilings, and a huge red abacus behind the reception desk. A varnished irregular wooden slab serves as a bench. While the red pool with an adjacent huge upside-down red rabbit (the hotel’s mascot) is undeniably striking, the rooftop bar with colorful daybeds, fake grass, and ocean views is the most alluring spot. This hotel is geared toward young couples and friends seeking a fun and affordable stay near all the action.
Location
Right in the center of Seminyak, plus walking distance to bars, restaurants, and the beach
Situated on the vibrant Petitenget Street in the trendy area of Seminyak, the hotel is across the road from Potato Head, one of Bali’s most happening beach clubs. It's also a few steps away from some of the island’s most popular cafes, including Biku and the Fat Turtle. The beach is a 15-minute walk, although some might prefer to head down to Double Six Beach, which is cleaner and around a 10-minute drive away. Ngurah Rai International Airport is a 30-minute drive away, while Waterbom and Discovery Mall are a 20-minute drive and the lively Kuta area is around 10 minutes. The resort offers free parking and a complimentary shuttle service to a nearby beach and shopping complex.
Rooms
Hip, urban rooms with murals, bespoke industrial furniture, and balconies
The chic, colorful rooms come with bold murals (think Wonder Woman and pop art), a stuffed upside-down red bunny, striking industrial light fixtures, bespoke iron and wood furnishings, and a host of other quirky touches such as neon signs. All rooms have comfy beds, phrases painted on the ceilings, and furnished balconies or patios either overlooking the pool or the road. Roadside-room guests won't be alone on the balconies, as the spaces are also home to colorful human statues. There are three room categories, ranging from the 344-square-foot (32-square-meter) Dash STUDIO to the 516-square-foot (48-square-meter) Dash DELUXE and the 1033-square-foot (96-square-meter) Dash TWO. All have flat-screen, wall-mounted TVs with 75 channels, minibars, tea- and coffee-making facilities, laptop-compatible safes, and free Wi-Fi.
The industrial-style cement bathrooms feature rainfall showers, toiletries, kimonos, and slippers, and some come with freestanding bathtubs. The Dash DELUXE rooms feature iron headboards and wooden beds constructed from Javanese joglos, while the Dash TWO apartment comes with a spacious master bedroom with en-suite bath, living room, dining area, and twin bedroom with a bathroom. Note that some bathrooms are open-plan and may not suit those seeking privacy.
Features
Red courtyard pool and rooftop bar are highlights
The hotel’s numerous facilities include a courtyard swimming pool, surrounded by daybeds, ottomans, and a gigantic statue of an upside-down red rabbit under an analog clock. On the downside, guests have complained that the area receives very little sunlight. The spacious semi-open MYA Restaurant serves Asian and Balinese-inspired cuisine, plus a range of cocktails. A cross between a sports bar and a funky lounge, MYA features numerous TV screens and a pool table alongside large murals, a striking purple bar, and red pipe light fixture snaking across the ceiling. Many guests rave about the restaurant’s buffet and a la carte breakfast. The Shack is a cool rooftop lounge bar with daybeds and a view across Seminyak that's particularly stunning at sunset.
Wellness enthusiasts will be pleased to know that the hotel also features a gym and spa, which offers a wide range of treatments such as cream baths and massages. The hotel also features a funky internet lounge complete with iPads, three meeting rooms for between 10 and 100 guests, and a rooftop meeting space. Wi-Fi is free but it can be spotty in some spots.
