Hotel Kumpul Kumpul Villa II Legian (Legian, Indonesia)

Breakfast is fine; members of staff are friendly and helpful. Can't complain … at all.

The complex is small, attractive and it feels safe. This is a big ‘plus' when considering self-catering accommodation in this - or any other - area in the region.

It's a great location for families. The ‘self-catering' aspect helps to make it even more attractive, financially. Add to this the fact that the accommodation is spacious, then this complex is destined to become a real … family favourite.

Designed to meet the smaller budget, you'll naturally expect to see some things that are less than impressive. Towels fall easily into this category. They're very thin and after a few more shower sessions, they'll probably disintegrate … completely!

Maybe they've been ‘pinched' by the ‘Legian' of visiting guests ... but kitchen equipment and utensils are thin on the ground. It seems that they've allowed items to disappear, but have omitted to replace them. This activity is now well overdue. Poolside beds are in short supply too. There's no shortage of chlorine though. It is completely over-powering in the pool.

As with much ‘budget' type accommodation, there has been little, if any, apparent upgrading over recent years. Consequently, it is dated and on the verge of becoming depressing. Beds are extremely hard and uncomfortable, but you expect that in this part of the world. Lots of leaks though … such as the refrigerator and - more worryingly - the toilet. Wonder why are there no extract fans in the bathroom and kitchen - the precise areas where they are really needed!
