We just wrapped up a three night stay. Unfortunately, even though we asked about a week or two in advance (and again on checkout), the best they could do was a ground level floor in the middle of the hotel. Noise came from both the rear and front door, as well as from above. Nothing that we couldn't deal with. Monday and Tuesday night had no bar noise. Wednesday we had a decent amount of bar noise up until 11pm. The front desk told us that's when the bar stops the loud noise. I'm not sure if that is the same during the weekend, but it wasn't a major inconvenience for us. There are numerous noise related negative reviews on Tripadvisor so it might be worth reaching out to the hotel before staying here if things are any different during the weekend.I'm not sure if is worth booking a standard room at the Alila Seminyak for 20k unless they upgrade you to the main building. Our room at the Alila Studios was a bit worn. Doors in for the bathroom would not shut correctly, lighting was pretty bad in the room, and there is a lack of power outlets. That said, for 5k I felt this was a pretty good value. We arrived late in the evening and used the hotel as a jumping off point for tours and had a pool/spa day.

I saw numerous reviews complaining about the lack of golf carts to bring you back and forth to the main building. We never ran into this and for a majority of the day the 5 minute walk is not an issue unless the sun is directly overhead. Access to the pools was great. The gym was nice, but nothing to write home about. Housekeeping refreshes the fruit and free snacks daily. They also leave behind a different type of miniature cookies each evening. The ground floor has a larger balcony. Though, anyone could easily access the area. So you'd want to remember to lock the door when leaving your room.

We opted not to take breakfast in the hotel as it is $20++ per person. Instead we tried Clean Canteen (2 min walk) and Kim Soo (5 min walk) which were both ~$15 for a full breakfast and coffee for two.
