I rarely write feedback on hotels, but we had such a pleasant stay at the Peneeda Hotel that I am making an exception. It felt genuinely Balinese, lived-in and welcoming. It fit perfectly our main criteria, which were proximity to the beach, convenience, and character. *Location*: it's ideal. The airy restaurant/bar is open on one side towards one of the pools, and on the other side towards the promenade and beach. You can be sitting over breakfast in the gentle sea breeze, while watching a neighbour place a morning offering on the beach. The hotel is quiet and secluded, yet just a short walk away from the main street, a large supermarket and a good bookshop, as well as all the restaurants on the beach. *Convenience*: we had one of the family rooms, which was really two interconnecting rooms (and a bathroom) with a private entrance and a little patio area with a table and seats. It was a very good layout for a stay with young children (we had them sleep in the room at the back). We enjoyed the large bathroom with a indoor bath and an outdoor rain shower. *Character*: there is a lovely and peaceful atmosphere, and as a business run by a local family, it had in our view much more charm (while being much cheaper!) than the many impersonal 5* resorts along the beach. At the Peneeda, the large communal areas are furnished with taste, and include pieces of genuine traditional furniture of sculpted wood, like the two beautiful antique beds that have been converted into reading nooks. Our room was very nice and comfortable too, with wooden floors and furniture in the local style. Good beds, meticulous room-service. All the staff were very kind, full of little attentions towards to our children especially. We felt we had found exactly the hotel we were hoping for.

The location is amazing. The staff friendly and very helpful. An older traditional property which we love and suits us. Quieter and more personal. Great value for money. Would definitely .book again.

The location is amazing between the beach and main street plus right in middle of sanur so can go north or south with ease. It's quiet with a lovely garden walkway to the beach. The staff were very helpful and friendly. It's older style but very comfortable and value for money.

Good place to stay.A bit older build style resort.Restaurant straight at the Beach.The Location is suberb. Outside the gate right direction many good , pubs restaurant with great life music. As there is a foodpath along the beach it is possible to walk, bike. Not too much people walked by in this area. A good breeze straight from the sea at the restaurant. Carefully like everywhere when raining as tiles get wet and slippy The resort has different pools and areas for small kids too. Nice garden. There was not an extensive choices from the menu but the food they made was great. Great cooks. Breakfast ist not included in the price and must be paid at the restaurant. Had the family room which contains 2 rooms with 2 single and one double. It was about 25 % more expensive than just double which I haven't seen. Good verandas with stable table and 4 chairs. Wifi was free and good..Day times never problem and if sometimes weaker it will come back within a minute to good speed. Good TV.Larger refrigarator. and in there was a bathtube which had nice hot water.( Family room ) I think this spot is perfect for families with kids at all ages but especially small kids. No noise from the road , not at all. The water is very shallow and far outer there is a riff which break the waves, which means the water is very calm. Small kids can play in the water and no worries that a wave hit them. Mainly a bit curser sand and in the water there a no corals, stone etc which can hurt the feet. I always use sailing shoes in case. Nice friendly people all around,no beach sellers, many nations, older traveller, families, mainly. The traffic is not busy whis good and it is easy to get a taxi and drive around. Paid 250 000 for taxi to the airport which took 30 minutes but we been lucky. So better calculate one hours. Immigration can be busy but much better than arrival. There many good restaurants in the departure area. 3 hrs before arrival I recommend and have some food there.

I found the space a little cramped in the standard room and we were lucky to be upgraded after the first night to a bungalow. The hotel is so peaceful and being a smaller hotel there was always a sunbed available and often we were the only ones at the pool. There are 3 pools to choose from. The beach is to the rear of the property and is calm with beautiful yellow sand. I love that the hotel is trying to be more environmentally conscious and the food at the bar is good and well priced. I definitely would stay again and recommend it to those who want an old school Bali vibe.

Really lovely place - rooms stretch from backing onto the street in a street all the way to just back from the beach. I was in a street side room but it was still quiet and very lovely. The rooms in that section all had their own large fridge and water dispenser, which can do boiling water. Nice balconies and comfy outside seating too. Room was a good size with space for cases and wardrobe. Two pools plus a few loungers on beach front.

Beautiful hotel with Bali charm. I've booked a few rooms for the trip - stand alone cottages are very nice and quite. Near the beach. Has a gym and a swimming pool. Previously, 2-storey cottages had a private yard and very very private and nice.

Accessible for mobility aids, wheelchair, walking frame etc, they were in the process of adding a ramp to the dining area which was fantastic as that was the only difficulty we had. Large spacious rooms with nice outdoor seating area. Huge comfy bed. Handrail in the shower, with secure shower mat provided. Handrail next to the toilet. All of above are from an older couple.

We loved the Balinese style hotel, it's a bit dated compared to the high end resorts it's sandwiched between, but adds to the charm! If you don't want to be in a resort but want to be directly on the beach, then this is your place! Yes there are cheaper places on the main road but they don't have beach access. We were travelling with children and in the end were so happy we paid extra to be on the beach as you have to walk around the resorts to find beach access - no problem if you're a grown adult but 10 minutes in the heat with littles is challenging! We loved all the pool areas and there were lots of nice spaces to hang out, which was great when it was too hot sunny or heavy rain and you didn't want to be in your room. We stayed in the family room with garden view and there was plenty of room for us and our luggage as well as cot and pram! We heard some negative things about the food so we didn't try it until the second last day and we were really pleasantly surprised - it's basic but good if you want Asian food - we didn't try the western food! The refillable water station was a great touch too - we would definitely recommend it here! We would also recommend White Orchid for eating - nice atmosphere, friendly staff, good food at a reasonable price for the area!
