Pop! Hotel – Kuta Beach
Bright colors immediately greet you when you enter the lobby of Pop! Hotel in Kuta. The swimming pool isn’t hard to miss because it just sits in plain sight in front of the lobby giving you that awesome beach vibe despite being tucked a few meters inside the Kuta beach area.
Because of the friendly rates of this hotel, you may be overwhelmed with the number of guests checking in at that designated hour so a little patience might be needed.
But check in is smooth and fast, and once you get past that stage and head to your rooms, it’s a totally different story.
Pop! Hotel – Kuta is a delight once you see it. Their place is full of color you’d think you’re in a child’s playground. The hotel’s choice of color adds vibe to the atmosphere and I simply like it.
Rooms at Pop! Hotel
This budget hotel in Kuta Beach, Bali offers modern accommodations. They have comfortable double or twin beds ensuite with a unique private bathroom.
A sofa bed is also put in place but guests might find the sofa hard to sleep on.
But for me, I used the sofa to stow my backpack and made it my open closet so that I can easily see the things I need to use during my 2-nights stay.
Each room is also fitted with a flat-screen satellite TV and an electronic safe is available. Toiletries, towels and bottler water are provided too for guests’ convenience. And if your bottled water is not enough, there’s a drinking station available at the lobby offering round the clock supply of hot or cold water.

The outdoor swimming pool is Pop! Hotel’s awesome treat to its guests. The rates at Pop Hotel is quite a steal actually.

What a wonderful post about Bali, I absolutely adore it. The two best places to stay in Bali are Ubud and Kuta beach, in my opinion, as they are the most relaxed and party places.
