Where to start? Hard Rock Hotel is not for everyone. If you like The Beatles and Stones by the pool it is great (I do), romantic honeymoon resort, probably not. The rooms are spacious and clean. But they are showing their age now. The freeform pool is really fantastic, the best we have been to. Staff are friendly, helpful and polite. The main bar and its evening band Siluet are great fun and the band makes a point of meeting with guests and playing their requests. The Wednesday 'spectatular' is bizarre but great fun, not to be missed.
The location is very central and near to shops and other facilities. However, the traffic in the area is awful. The beach opposite is almost unuseable, due to the hawkers and resport/time share salesmen - stay by the pool. Security is excellent, private security company with police back-up, a bit impossing at first, but exactly as it should be under the circumstances.
Other attractions - Legian area (3 km from Hard Rock) is great for local arts and crafts, watersports (arrange in the hotel) at Nusa Dur are very good (if expensive). TIP: do not hire a car. To go anywhere across the island you have to go through Dempresar which is clogged with traffic and then you have to negotiate Kuta.......! I would recommend The Hard Rock Hotel to anyone determined to go to Bali, particularly if you like 60s/70s music, even The Beasty Boys at breakfast seemed in context.

The standard of service for breakfast for the three days that the Orthodontist conference was on was way below normal standards. Sometimes there was a que of around 20 to 30 people waiting for a table which then resulted in ques for every breakfast station. The hotel pools are fabulous and music is good. Location is very central for beach and shops. Donald Yoshida, United States
We had a great time, we swithced room once because it was too close to center stage and was noisy. If you want peace and quiet, Hard Rock is not the place, if you want activities, action, and close to beach and shopping, then it is the place. Great, friendly staff, most able to communicate in english. Compared to hotels in America, Hard Rock Bali gives you a lot for your money.

Nice environment & convenient location, friendly & helpful staff, great pool. But room (Deluxe) was run down for the amount that we paid at USD90. Breakfast has very limited selection. A HotelTravel.com Member, Korea
I stayed at Hard Rock Hotel for three days, which was so cool and convenient. It stands a fine location at the center of the Kuta area that it has many restaurants, shops, money exchange shops, night spots etc. And the pool is good enough to enjoy the whole day. The atmosphere in the hotel is so vivid that you can feel you are really in HOLIDAYS!!
The reception area is somewhat small that you'd better to check out a littlle earlier, if not, you may wait some time before the check out is completed.
The Hard Rock Cafe, the entrance of which is for free for a Hard Rock Hotel guests, is a good club, too. But they'd be better to take actions on the women near the bar area,who seemed to be whore. Except that, I really enjoyed it, and the live performance of the band named Asia Reform was so excellent. Mohamed Yusri Mohamed Yusof, Singapore
This hotel & its near surroundings definitely has anything and everything that one can ask for, whether you're a single, a couple or a family. The entertainment in the hotel is great!!! I thought of coming back again soon. A HotelTravel.com Member, Malaysia
