The Open House Jimbaran Bali

Really gorgeous setting with a lovely pool area - complete with an open air library and spa. Only a couple of minutes walk from Jimbaran beach and all of the seafood restaurants. This was the last stop on our trip and we ended up relaxing at the hotel quite a bit as it was so beautiful! Really friendly staff and great food as well.

The Open House is just that, off the busy open traffic into a delightful small tranquil reserve. Open arms welcome you warmly along with an enthusiastic highland terrier waggling tail, a great hit with the children. Effortlessly the concierge service relieves in of their luggage to the rooms, completes the registration process whilst being served refreshments at their open space beautifully designed Balinese style restaurant with open kitchen overlooking the pool. This is the central hub of the courtyard . Lined in one side by lush local flora upon which the rooms either open on the ground floor or their balconies face, the restaurant at the head and at the end the open library, massage and wellness spa pavilion. The rooms are spacious well lit, studio style, dimly yet tastefully furnished in the Balinese style. Great shower, great air con albeit too. The kitchen had a fixed a la carte menu, that was deliciously flexible to cater to the nutritional needs of fussy little eaters, and even my coeliac gluten free wife. The staff, and of course the proprietor, seen watering or clipping the jungle garden, are amazingly friendly and helpful with all aspects of one’s stay but advice on local sites. Jimbaran beach and multitude of restaurants are 100m from the door. The fish market, a highlight of our holiday simply awesome at 0700 when the small traditional boats come in with their catch. Checking out, simple, sad goodbyes after two final nights on Bali with the hotel organised car to the airport that took 15mins at 15Euros added to the bill. Great value.

The best thing this hotel has is that it is close to Cuca, an excellent tapas restaurant. Breakfast is good. The hotel has a decent restaurant, a massage parlor, a swimming pool. Our room has a terrace. The staff are very good and the room is clean. Service is very good. The hotel is almost next to the beach but when we were there the beach was not clean.

Open House has very interesting architecture, cool and comfortable accommodation, a restaurant and a menu with a variety of beautiful meals and drinks. I enjoyed having numerous swims during my stay. The staff are very caring. The cheap seafood restaurants on the beach are a 5 minute walk away and the fare is excellent. Australia beaches are cleaner than Jimbaran Beaches but people were swimming in the water. Pleasant enough to walk along the beach. 15 minute taxi to the airport and 15 minute taxi to Nusa Dua The Collection fashion shopping precinct.

The staff at the hotel were all amazing and kind. They greet you with a delicious snack and refreshing welcome drink upon check-in. The room was also clean, decorated well and they provide refillable water bottles to minimize environmental damage and waste which was greatly appreciated. The coffee during breakfast was also very nice!
