Denpasar is the capital of Bali and is situated just north of Nusa Dua.  This city isn’t known as a major tourist attraction when visiting Bali.  Being that it’s the capital, there are loads of Denpasar hotels to choose from for all budgets.  For many budget travels, the hotels in Denpasar are an ideal place to stay as there are masses of inexpensive hotels and accommodation to be found.  The service you will receive will be excellent, but the comforts will be very lacking.  For the more discerning traveler there are luxurious places that you can stay at that offer 5 star facilities and services, but these are mostly occupied by business people traveling thru. 

The absence of any beaches or other tropical views restricts the Bali Hotels in Denpasar to what they are able to give the tourist.  Not having the gorgeous blue ocean or lush forest as a view means that all of the hotels here will only be able to provide views of the town.  As much as the Balinese approach to life is uniquely different and worth exploring, activities in Denpasar are limited and therefore the variety of accommodation is also limited.  You won’t find any private villas with access to secluded beaches or be able to step out of a hotel in Denpasar onto a dazzling white beach.  If selecting 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 be forced 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 would like to do on a Bali tour, it is just a matter of booking it with the reception desk and they may gladly prepare everything for you, from transport to any required equipment.  These hotels will be able to offer you some Bali Holiday Packages that will include various activities.

Only the top Denpasar Hotels will have a site for you to order online and seeing as the city isn’t a popular tourist destination it is feasible to find accommodation throughout the year without booking in advance.  The single time that you’ll find the hotels absolutely booked is if there’s a major conference being held and then it could be hard to find something.  If you do mean to spend a night or 2 here and wish to stay in a luxury apartment then it is certainly a good idea to book early ahead.  Backpackers and budget travels do not have to worry as there’s always room at the hotel somewhere in Denpasar. 

Booking into one of the top Denpasar hotels, all of your rooms will be air conditioned and all room facilities working, but if going for a less expensive 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 next thing that you need to be sure of is if you want to have a hot bath or shower, ensure that these facilities are available.  Coming from a developed country we immediately presume that hot water is available, not so in Bali or anywhere in Indonesia.  You could have to order the tank to be switched on one or two hours before you want to take a bath at some of the more budget Denpasar hotels.
