Gran Hotel Bali^{(4 stars)}

Run-down. More would I usually do not write. The hotel is 10-years-old, and so run-down, this is really a crazy. Full popular tourist area, since any week who other, the main thing was that the money is coming from, but on furniture or renovations is not watching. At least for southern standards, very clean. Even if the instruction upon arrival, the toilet sterilized is, surely a joke is. Apart from that it does its purpose, small balcony for sit outside. Unfortunately only a German speaking television channel... And that is not exactly the best.

Really good at least, that the hygiene of the offered food must fit. Even ' dangerous' dishes such as seafood or washed salad (, because chlorinated water) have nothing salemp, no bellyache no diarrhea. There are 2 restaurants a on the ground floor and a in the basement. Definitely in the restaurant in the basement-view it doesn't-but you didn't have such a massenfütterungsatmosphäre. In the restaurant on the ground floor, there is the kitchen staff the refilling in the shabbiest clothes there and wait bored on their use. The guests are also very rude, you grab the nachfülltablett of the kitchen staff something down... I have the whole as raubtierfütterung luguru. In a cellar restaurant one has this atmosphere not, the kitchen staff is clean and is not around. The waiters are unfortunately exactly inattentive, are bored around, gossip together, often piled up 4-5 plates to once again who clearing comes. What disturbed me very much, because inconvenient, it's not possible the beverages (btw sb ) to the room book leave. All bar pay immediately, but are the prices very, very low, 0.5 liters mineral water 1.25 Euro... This is good. Yes there is allegedly a possibility, as you to the room can book, you enabled somehow your room key as credit card and book a amount dorthinauf. But, because the front desk so unfriendly and not helpful, I not at all asked. The tables are carelessly set up, everyone has a table set (so a small stoffding ), the table itself has no table cloth. Also the glasses mismatch, only wine glasses at the table, no drink -glasses etc. And there are not even all the same wine glasses, it is very mixed between red and weißweingläsern. Eat it enough, it changes also always good, but it was just a lot of deep-fried, much fried and if not fried with very much oil or fat prepared. But there are a lot of fresh fruits and a massive salad bar. The labelling of the food leaves much to be desired. There are things from the spanish untranslated into English ( for example clear soup, is available exclusively on spanish as... Something consommee is frankly, I cannot even make out), often is the card with the wrong food ( blätterteigecken with cheese scolloped are rather a pseudo -pizza and no lasagne and not any vegetables-sticks if meat inside?) All together, bad inattentive service and food, that mass is laid out. , nothing special thereby, no local kitchen, the highest of emotions was once a Paella, but it was good.

The only really friendly staff were the cleaning crew. Front desk employees are unattentive, rude and slow. At the check-in you get his card with a small folder, it is shown where the elevator and where the restaurants are and wiederschauen. No question like the arrival was, or welcome blah blah blah... This is all just small talk but makes nevertheless much from. I then a wi-fi-package was promptly sent up, mumbling explained me for how many days this can take and how much it costs. Then immediately cash, it drives me a note with the code into your hand, not even 'goodbye' she said, let alone explains how it works (it could be, that you do not know). Check out even worse, we will move from a list and the lady says only 'it's ok'. Such a complete 'I don't care' -attitude I had never experienced. Foreign languages skills moderate, German I cannot judge, I have only English talked to them, this knowledge were bad, surprising, given the guest structure.

From the in the hotel offered animation ( the interested me not, but nevertheless) I didn't notice. There is a games room with pool etc. , but since I was not inside. Loungers at the pool are mixed, a few new a few old. The chair pillows are all old and filthy, umbrella there are too few. There are 2 pools... Actually 3, but I have never swim seen, also looks rather more to honor from. In the evening always music and show, that was nice, there were often really good band thereby, you of course from the room also with listening to. The beach is really nice, no seaweed no trash. That some smokers to today yet not understand, that cigarettes in the sand not so quickly decompose and you maybe a ashtray from foil or a bottle or box can use, that is unfortunately so. Apart from that really clean, for a beach chair 4 Euro for a umbrella 4 Euro. What I also fascinated, there is a massive offer for old and disabled, even own ' schwimmbote ' around with them a little into the water to drive. Showers fun way I not a single discovered, but upmarket perfect clean.

Shabby popular tourist area with very cold atmosphere because of the many marbles. Posters and information stand is possible without system somehow distributed. Then one sees so posters as' Xbox 360', yes what, to borrow, there is in the rooms which... I don't know until today not. And no, it was just not a microsoft congress. To another vacationer to quote, the hotel has the flair of train station. Meet perfectly. On the elevators one waited for hours. There are 43 floors and I have stayed in many metropolis the world, there are a few 'ultra' - hochgeschwindigkeitslifte, a few lifts the for example only the 20.-43rd Floor drive... In this hotel there is only one thing-no system such as the lifts drive. The 2 panoramalifte glass are mostly out of business because of strong wind. The people understand also not, that with a lift for 9 people is authorized not 12 drive for overalloc. Normally I the other guests no matter, I which do not talk. Guest structure: mainly british and spanish guests. And 90% at age 65 +. The british were not so disturbing, but the spanish were loud and übergedreht and have one with an obvious on spanish angeplappert, as if there were no other languages and nationalities on this world respectively in this hotel there. My most important sentence in the week was (and is certainly not): non espanol. Are you puzzled as, they have at least with my question 'do you speak English' languages. I can but not easy to other guests again, because I ask you something and on German to speak with you. Wi-fi there are for a fee only on the ground floor (1 week for 10 Euro), but the wi-fi speed from the years snow, more than emails do not, as the side expansion forever. It is better if you take a roaming package, costs more, but you normal UMTS/ hspa and so on

Very peaceful location. To the beach it are only approximately 200 meters (7 minutes ) on foot or for the lazy a station by bus. In 50 meters distance is a pharmacy and a supermarket. At the way to the beach some snack bars and touristenramschläden.
