The hype
Guests rave about the staff's warmth and the incredible breakfast spread, but often mention the rooms feel a bit dark or 'cave-like'.
The Stones Hotel Legian Bali, Autograph Collection
$130-220/ noche
Reserva esto si You want a high-energy, pool-centric party vibe in Kuta without sacrificing 5-star Marriott hygiene standards.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- The massive 3,000sqm pool with swim-up bar and DJ sessions
- Legendary buffet breakfast with gluten-free options and barista coffee
- Walking distance to both Kuta's chaos and Legian's slightly chiller beach bars
Resumen rápido: It’s a glossy, loud oasis for extroverts who want to be near the action, not a zen retreat for meditation.
Reseñado por @kazplum: I spent my days lounging by this massive pool while the kids played non-stop. The room was spacious and modern, but honestly, the poolside cocktails were the highlight of the trip. It's the perfect spot to just disconnect and let the hotel staff take care of everything.
Lo que dijeron los huéspedes que se hospedaron aquí
Reality check
A recurring complaint is a sewage-like smell coming from the bathroom drains in some rooms, likely due to local plumbing issues.
- You live for the pool scene and happy hour cocktails
- You are a Marriott Bonvoy member chasing points in Bali
- You want to be in the heart of Kuta/Legian but sleep in a secure bubble
Limpieza y Mantenimiento
8.2
- Housekeeping: Generally thorough daily service, though some reports of 'sticky floors' in humid weather.
- Bathroom hygiene: Grout and glass are usually clean, but the recurring 'sewage smell' complaint drags the score down.
- Maintenance: Good overall, but expect some scuffs on furniture and worn edges in high-traffic areas.
- Linens & towels: Crisp and white, typical Marriott standard. Pool towels are plentiful.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells fresh (signature scent), but hallways can smell of damp/humidity and occasional drain issues.

Preguntas frecuentes y consejos ocultos
Todo lo que realmente quieres saber antes de reservar.
Is the pool really that loud?
Yes. It has a 'beach club' vibe with a DJ. If you want to read a book in silence, this is not the pool for you.
Can I walk to the beach?
Yes, it's just across the street (Jl. Pantai Kuta), but be careful crossing the traffic.
Is breakfast included?
Not always. If you pay separately, it's approx IDR 320,650 (~$20 USD) per adult, but highly rated.
Are the rooms dated?
They are modern but showing wear (scuffs, older tech). Some guests find the lighting too dim/moody.
Is it good for kids?
Yes, there is a free Kids Club (first 2 hours free) and the pool has shallow areas, but the vibe is more 'adult party' than 'Disney'.
Does the bathroom have a bathtub?
Most standard rooms do NOT have a tub, only a rain shower. Suites and some balcony rooms have tubs.
Consejos de Insiders
- ✨
Ask for the 'Magic Towel' at check-in – a compressed tablet that expands into a cold towel.
- ✨
The 'Gourmet Express' room service comes in a hot box and is surprisingly good value compared to hotel restaurants.
- ✨
You can request 'Breakfast in the Bathtub' if you book a suite with a balcony tub (extra charge applies).
5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The 'convenience store' on the driveway is not part of the hotel and has had reports of rats nearby.
💡The gym has low ceilings in parts and can feel a bit claustrophobic despite being well-equipped.
💡You might get a 'sewage smell' in the bathroom after heavy rain – run the water to clear the trap.
💡The 'vertical gardens' are impressive but can block natural light in lower-floor rooms.
💡Security is tight – they check under your car with mirrors every time you enter.
