The Niche Hotel is right in the heart of Kuta. The location is great, with easy access to the beach (approx. 10 min walk), shops, restaurants, and bars/clubs. Despite being so central, the rooms are very quiet. If you don't feel like venturing far, there are several convenience stores within 1-3 minutes walk.
Room was nice, clean, and a good size. Shower was warm with great water pressure. Wi-Fi was good - could even stream Netflix with no issues. To my surprise - my room even had a built-in Australian electricity socket!
The hotel at the pool is a nice size and quite refreshing all day long. Of note is that it has railed stairs entering into the pool - which seems quite rare in Bali. (This was very important to me as I clumsily injured my foot on my last holiday trying to heave myself out of a pool.) It also has lots of underwater ledges to relax on and even a pool bar open for service all day.
The food at the hotel itself is quite nice and reasonably priced. There were always lots of staff around happy to help with anything.
Overall, would highly recommend. Was very happy with my stay.
