La Walon Hotel in Kuta

2 other groups made the same mistake as me and mixed up La Walon and La Grand Walon as I stayed at grand before but didn't pay enough attention. Opposite a big building site. Breakfast and staff good and rooms large but place is run down and not like La Grand Walon so switched hotels after 1st night and although owned by same company wouldn't change over so lost 2 nights charge but had no real choice as Grand is in better area and location which is why I wanted that in first place. Beware of this as if 3 groups on same day made same mistake must be common. The Walon group should account for this and do exchange internally as it's the same company even if pay only for the difference.

Room 211 , bathroom has been renovated. There is a gap at top of wall with perplex to let light in. There are large holes to air. These give access to the mosquitos, geckos and who knows what other creatures as they are not wired. The floor has been tiled with slippery tiles so the open shower water runs down to the toilet causing death defying tiny steps. The drain was blocked my first night and I had to pull the lid off that had a plastic lid attached to it this drained the water out. The toliet area smelt badly and I noted "Splatter" marks on the tiled walls, I can only presume. There are no lifts. The banister to the 3rd flight of stairs was loose. The porter carried my heavy luggage up and was kind and courteous. I felt guilt he had to carry a heavy bag. The pool had either stained tiled walls or needed a good clean. The sheets were more grey then white and the room had not been aired so was not a pleasant smell. No hand towels or face washers. The staff were pleasant, and the foyer is well presented.
