In Reply to: Barong Hotel (Poppies 2) = FAIL posted by Barry on Friday, 24. June 2011 at 14:31 Bali Time:
We stayed at the Barong for 3 nights last month.
We had a standard room on the 3rd floor at the very back of the hotel @ approx USD$75 per night.
It was in a GREAT location for us and we had a clean and comfortable room. The bathroom was clean and spacious, had a nice balcony with views over the pool and watched the squirrels scampering up the palm trees in the early hours of the morning. It was relatively quiet, aircon and TV worked fine.
Staff were friendly and helpful and fell over backwards to arrange a trolley and help us with our luggage on departure. They did it all and we never touched our luggage.
Perhaps they took pitty on me cause Im old LOLOLOL !
I agree the breakfast was extremely poor, but if you just wanted a juice, some fruit, toast and eggs anyway you liked it was passible.
At the right price, I would be happy to stay there again, on a short term basis only, simply as it is in a perfect location.
Cheers, K
