The 1O1 Bali Fontana Seminyak

“Feels like home”

It always feels like home everytime we stay at Fontana Bali. Kudos to all the staff and the overall ambiance..

“Cozy hotel”

The hotel is close to nice restaurants and shops. It takes 25 minutes from the Airport. The check in is fast and I got my room earlier than the normal 3 pm check in time.

The hotel is close to nice restaurants and shops. It takes 25 minutes from the Airport. The check in is fast and I got my room earlier than the normal 3 pm check in time. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The hotel atmosphere feels tropical, relaxed and nice. The room is clean and exactly like the photo. The only down side is I think the lighting is too dim especially on the corridor and the bathroom, as the wall is also dark-coloured.

The 1o1 Bali Fontana quickly became one of our favorite memories in Bali! There are so many great things about it…some of my favorites: 1 ) As a designer I truly appreciate great design and attention to detail. The 1o1 wins in so many aspects. Here is some background for the design enthusiasts: The 1O1 Bali Fontana Seminyak is the rare hotel born from a genuine creative partnership — environmental architect Popo Danes (the two-time ASEAN Energy Award winner who reshaped Balinese design) and Nobuyuki Narabayashi of Tokyo’s legendary Super Potato studio brought their combined brilliance to Seminyak and created something that defies the usual hotel formula. Together, they conceived the hotel around a hotel-gallery concept— every corridor, lobby, and room is a visual statement, not just a space to pass through. From the crispy fresh sheets, waffle robe, the custom slippers to the thoughtfully designed peaceful pool view rooms & the pool, the 1o1 is an amazing value! 2). This was our third time coming to Bali and we always got in after 10pm, really hungry but too late to get any quality food. When you stay at the 1o1, you get to have a delicious meal until really late at night (2am exactly) at their lovely 24/7 hour Sunny16 Cafe. This is just a huge plus. Btw, anyone can hang out at their cafe, so even if you’re not staying at the hotel, you can still have a date or late night work session at Sunny Cafe. 3). The food is just amazing!! Their restaurant Portabella is outstanding. This is not your average continental breakfast…Honestly, the breakfast buffet is so abundant, we were always looking forward to starting the day with it. Fresh fruits, juices, cereal, pancakes and crepes, fruit and salad bar, as well as the local Balinese dishes were always winners. Our absolute favorite dinner experience was the Balinese cultural night on Mondays (we had it twice) with live Gamelan players at Portabella. It literally made both of us fall in love with Balinese food. So many varieties of delicious dishes, and you actually get to experience a wide range of authentic Balinese specialties (and learn their names). While I like the classic Nasi Goreng, this was a next level deep dive into some of the most amazing Balinese dishes ( …and they were sautéed and grilled instead of the usual deep fry elsewhere.) The soups and local deserts were also delicious. At the time of writing, the all you can eat buffet was 195K/ person. A must try!! 4). The award-winning Suma spa on the rooftop is a beautiful sanctuary inspired by Japanese gardens. The whole space has a minimalist, Japanese aesthetic and the massages we got there were amazing. Apparently, you can even have a whole day experience getting pampered for 5 hours! We heard that people fly in from Japan for that one alone. The staff is the best! Always attentive, kind & smiling, they set the bar high for other hotels. I want to shout out Nia, Yuli, Gopi, Desi & Dida and truly everyone else whose name I didn’t capture. A+++++ It’s clear that we really loved the 1O1, as you can see from my whole novel long review. But for real, this is an amazing place with great value…we’ll definitely be back next time.
