There is plenty of good rest/shopping in the Seminyak area. Really good shopping for homewares more upmarket stuff not just (market) stuff. Also some of the best rest are up this end of town.
We tend to stay more in the Legian area cause it's about half way so you can go in either direction.
In legian we have stayed in The Locka, The Padma, Padma suites and the All Seasons.
All Seasons is the most modern and the rooms are the cleanest it is a good price as well especially booked through the accor website. It does lack a bit of bali flavour & the pool does not get sun all day so we like The Locka as well rooms are a bit worn (not as bad as the Pelangi) but it has good pool and Restaurant area.You would be looking around the $70/80 / room a night for these 2 options.
Hope this helps
Happy travels
