Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Sol Benoa by Melia, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor, ideally 5th floor or above, to minimize potential street noise from Jalan Pratama. This hotel has a total of 3 floors, so the higher you go, the less noise you'll encounter. Additionally, being on a higher floor will give you a better chance of having a sea view, considering the hotel's location in Badung.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the lift, especially on lower floors, as street noise from Jalan Pratama can still be audible. Rooms near the service entrance may also experience some noise, although it's likely to be minimal.
Best views
Guests on higher floors, especially the 5th floor, may have a sea view, although the exact view will depend on the room's orientation and the surrounding buildings.
Quietest floors
The 5th floor is likely to be the quietest, given its higher elevation and distance from the street.
🔊 Noise notes
Jalan Pratama is a main road, so expect some traffic noise, especially during peak hours. However, the hotel's location in Badung means that the noise is unlikely to be excessive.
Insider tips
Consider requesting a room with a balcony to enjoy the sea view and a bit more natural light. If you're arriving by car, be aware that parking may be limited, so it's a good idea to inform the hotel in advance to secure a spot.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field

Use ATMs at reputable banks like Mandiri or BCA for the best rates; avoid airport and tourist bureau money changers — they often give poor rates or short-change you.
Cards are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and larger shops, but smaller warungs and street stalls are cash-only; contactless is common in malls but not everywhere.
Not expected but appreciated: round up taxi fare, leave 5-10% at restaurants if service charge isn't included, and give 5,000-10,000 IDR to hotel porters.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Local coffee (kopi) from a warung or street stall — around 5,000-10,000 IDR.

Head to any pasar malam (night market) or food stalls along major roads for sate, bakso, and martabak; prices from 5,000-15,000 IDR per item.
Supermarkets like Pepito, Hardy's, and Grand Lucky are common in this area for groceries and imported goods.
Cheap clothes and fashion are found at local markets like those in Seminyak or Kuta; look for cotton shirts, sarongs, and beachwear at 30,000-100,000 IDR.
The cheapest way around is by scooter rental (around 50,000-80,000 IDR per day) or ride-hailing apps like Gojek and Grab (per-ride from 10,000 IDR); from the airport, take a Grab/Gojek car (around 50,000-80,000 IDR) or a pre-paid taxi counter (avoid touts).
Always pay with small denominations since shopkeepers often lack change; buy bottled water and snacks at local minimarkets (like Indomaret or Alfamart) rather than convenience stores; haggle respectfully at markets but not at warungs or fixed-price shops.

Top Attractions in Badung
💡 Weekday mornings are quietest. If you fish, bring your own bait — the on-site options are limited and pricey. There's a small food stall selling iced tea and gorengan.
💡 Go early before 10am to avoid tour groups; wear a sarong (rental available at entrance for a small fee, often free entry includes a sash).
💡 Don't bring plastic bags or food in your hands; the monkeys will snatch them. Keep valuables secure and avoid direct eye contact with dominant males.
💡 Arrive 30 minutes before sunset; avoid the wet sand near the river mouth to the north. Wear shoes if you walk along the beach — broken glass sometimes washes up.
💡 Donation-based entry — bring a few coins for the donation box. The museum's visual guides are in Indonesian, so ask staff for a brief English explanation.
