The 122-room Legian Paradiso Hotel is a mid-range property located in the heart of Legian on a bustling main street lined with shops, restaurants, and bars. Rooms are spacious and clean, if a bit tired and dated, and outfitted with flat-screen TVs, minibars, tea/coffee facilities, and free Wi-Fi; plus, most have private balconies or patios overlooking the gardens or pool. There’s a restaurant serving local and international dishes that features live entertainment, as well as a relaxed sports bar screening games. The outdoor pool is surrounded by loungers and there’s a small pool bar, but constant music can be irritating and some guests have complained of rats around the area in the evenings. There’s also a spa and large fitness center on-site, as well as a playground for kids and two meeting rooms. Overall, this is an older property in need of a facelift, but travelers are drawn by the affordable rates. For something closer to the beach, travelers might want to consider the Kuta Playa Hotel & Villas.
Scene
This older hotel with traditional Balinese-style architecture has pretty green grounds, but it's in need of some updates.
The Legian Paradiso Hotel features typical Balinese-style architecture and interiors; guests are greeted in a spacious and breezy open-air lobby with a sloped, thatched roof and sleek tiled floors. Cream-colored couches are clustered around rustic wooden coffee tables and large potted plants flank stone columns. A huge wrought-iron traditional lighting fixture hangs at the center of the lobby, while the long, sleek front desk features intricately carved wooden details. The lobby is skirted in lush greenery and overlooks the grounds, which provide a nice, green backdrop to the neutral hues.
Outside, stone paths weave past grassy lawns, lush shrubbery, tropical plants, and trees. Pretty water features, like stone fountains speckled with lotus leaves and frog sculptures, dot the premises. Overall, this older property is a bit dated and in need of some revamps, plus the central location on Legian’s main street might not suit all tastes, but it is conveniently surrounded by restaurants, bars, and shops and within walking distance of the beach.
