Kamar Kamar Boutique Hotel

The bed was really big and comfortable and we had great dreams.

The pool had a lot of fallen leaves in it which made it less inviting.

Kamar Kamar Boutique Hotel, Seminyak: The beautiful thing about staying where I have been is that the owner is a designer and antiquities collector and everything is from his personal collection. I’ve been to a couple of museums in Bali in the past but Katyia has pieces from all over Indonesia. Every corner was beautiful and full of gorgeousness, but there was still the sense of minimalism. I don’t know how he has done it. I can highly recommend Kamarkamar Rumahtamu . 24 hour security, only 10 rooms (I took 4 steps and I was in the pool), polite discrete staff, daily cleaning, nightly mosquito spraying and complimentary mosquito repellent lotion, a cafe over the road open at 7am with 3 other delicious and affordable cafes within walking distance. A wonderful hotel manager- Poppy. Laundry, beauty spa and Circle K around the corner. Off the main roads but still only a $3 maximum Grab fare into main Seminyak, and $4 to Petitenget and Kerobokan. A delicious and healthy local Warung 1 minute walk where you can sit with the locals or have a little brown paper cone of freshly cooked Nasi Campur to take back to your room for under $4 everytime. 3 schools in the village. I loved being away from the main stretch of Seminyak as I felt the sense of a modernised local village life rather than just seeing tourists. Double Six Beach was a very easy and interesting but totally safe 60 minute walk. Sunset Road was a 4 minute walk. The nearest biggish supermarket (Frestive) was a 7 minute walk depending on how insane Sunset Road, be prepared to pray for your life as you cross it. The BNI Bank was a 4 minute walk.

I can’t think of anything that I didn’t like.

The staff were exceptional, in particular Poppy the manager, who went out of her way to help us firstly with locating a repair/spare parts place for our bike, and also was a fantastic support when I got Bali belly. Beyond and above what I would have expected. Keep up your good work Poppy.

The binds in our room did not work correctly and need to be fixed.

Location is "good". When you add in the friendly, welcoming service from Poppy and the staff, the beautiful sanctuary of the interior area, the pool and gardens and the well appointed rooms then considering the pricing then "good" becomes "excellent" and outstanding value for money. Each unit has a lounge and kitchen area with small dining table, fridge, sofa, coffee table and Samsung Flatscreen TV. Separate to that there is a good sized Bedroom (good AC Unit) with en-suite enclosed bathroom. Pool is a perfect size for this small hotel (only 10 suites) and never was busy. There are several convenience stores within 2 to 5 minutes walk, several Warung in the same area. 5 minutes walk to Sunset Road (easy to cross with the intersection & traffic lights) and another 10 minutes walk brings you to the crossroads at the start of Jalan Camplung Tanduk for all that has to offer and the direct access to the beach at the end of that road where the great restaurant/bar "Chez Gado Gado" is. Hotel was peaceful, clean, well looked after and staff always available to help and with smiles. Poppy was great to deal with and definitely would not hesitate to come back again and again. Great value for money and fantastic experience.

The swimming pool is located right in front of the room. The room is very spacious, come with mini kitchen , living room and then you will enter the bedroom. Behind the bedroom there is a small balcony with seats for you to chill. Overall design of the place is beautiful . Staff is polite and efficient. More importantly the bed is big and comfortable. The surrounding is quiet and minutes walk to convenience store and main road.

The bathroom shower pressure is no strong. Also the shower head and hand held shower need to be changed.
