Denpasar is the capital of Bali and is situated just north of Nusa Dua. This town is not known as a major holiday maker attraction when visiting Bali. Being that it’s the capital, there are loads of Denpasar hotels to make a choice from for all budgets. For many budget travels, the hotels in Denpasar are a perfect place to stay as there are masses of cheap hotels and accommodation to be found. The service you will receive will be excellent, but the comforts will be extremely lacking. For the more discerning traveler there are lush places that you can stay at that offer five star facilities and services, but these are often occupied by businessmen traveling through. The lack of any beaches or other tropical views limits the Bali hotels in Denpasar to what they are able to provide the tourist. Not having the stunning blue ocean or lush forest as a view means that all of the hotels here may simply be able to provide views of the city. As much as the Balinese lifestyle is uniquely different and worth exploring, activities in Denpasar are limited and therefore the variety of accommodation is also limited. You will not find any private villas with access to isolated beaches or be ready to step out of a hotel in Denpasar onto a stunning white beach. If choosing to stay here in one of the opulent Denpasar hotels and you want to experience all that Bali has to offer you are going to need to commute from the hotel to the site of your chosen activity. All of the top rated hotels in Denpasar city will have access to whatever it is that you want to do on a Bali tour, it is just a matter of booking it with the reception desk and they’ll readily prepare everything for you, from transportation to any mandatory equipment. These hotels will be able to provide you some Bali holiday packages that will include various activities.Only the top Denpasar hotels will have a website for you to book online and seeing as the city is not a popular tourist destination it is possible to find accommodation throughout the year without booking in advance. The one time that you may find the hotels completely booked is if there’s a major conference being held and then it could be tricky to find something. If you do intend to spend a night or 2 here and need to stay in a luxury apartment then it is certainly sensible to book early ahead. Backpackers and budget travels do not have to worry as there’s always room at the inn somewhere in Denpasar. Booking into one of the top Denpasar hotels, all of your rooms will be air conditioned and all room amenities working, but if going for a cheaper hotel it’s best to inspect the room before paying for it to be sure the air conditioning works and the toilets are useable. The other thing that you need to be sure of is if you want to have a hot bath or shower, make sure that these facilities are available. Coming from a developed country we immediately assume that hot water is available, not so in Bali or anywhere in Indonesia. You may have to order the tank to be switched on a couple of hours before you wish to take a bath at some of the more budget Denpasar hotels.
