REVIEW: Spartacus Hotel – Seminyak, Bali

It had been a long flight from London to Denpasar. It was then about a 40 minute taxi ride from the airport to Seminyak where my accommodation was for the first night of my holiday.

The grandly named Spartacus.

The taxi-driver had a little difficulty finding it, but phoned ahead for precise directions. The entrance was discrete, but once inside the grounds are immediately attractive, the rooms surrounding a central pool.

The rooms were spacious – simple and modern without being luxurious. Extra points for having a towel swan to welcome me on the bed.

Spartacus is a men-only kind of place, but there wasn’t anything sleazy or overtly sexual about it. Other guests seemed generally friendly, but if you weren’t looking for conversation then you could easily just mind your own business.

All rooms were fully booked during my stay and it was a mixed crowd – some couples, groups of friends on holidays – most people seemed to be in the 30-50 age bracket.

The service was friendly and professional, and the wifi worked in the rooms and around the pool.

It was an easy walk to the bars and restaurants of Seminyak, and taxis were readily available for exploring the island.

Highly recommended.
