Famous Hotel Kuta, formerly Permata Kuta Hotel, is a 4-star hotel in Tuban with a guest score of 8.0 out of 10 from 552 reviews. Guests say it is a short distance from the airport and from local food stalls. That makes it a good fit for a first or last night in Bali, or for budget travellers who want a pool and a gym without paying much.
It ranked last of the 8 hotels we compared on guest score, so it is not the pick for travellers who want the best-rated stay. If a full, tasty breakfast matters to you, note the complaints below.
Location and getting around
The address is Jl. Kediri No 5, Bali, in the Tuban area. Location scores 8.4 out of 10, mostly for the airport and the food stalls nearby.
Other places in our data are far. Legian is about 4.3 km away, roughly 54 minutes on foot. The Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park is about 8.1 km and the Garuda Wisnu Kencana statue about 8.6 km, both well over 90 minutes walking. These are straight-line estimates. Plan on a taxi or other transport for all of them. Distance to the beach is not in our data, so check a map if that matters.
What guests say
Staff earn the most praise: guests call the team friendly, helpful and accommodating, with efficient service. The short trip to the airport and local food is the other plus.
Breakfast is the weak point. The buffet has variety, but guests say it is often depleted quickly or lacks flavour. Room size, noise and renovation condition have not been assessed.
Price compared with our other Kuta picks
The reference price we saw was €23.21 per night, about €46 for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults in one room. That is a reference price for those dates, not a live quote, so check today's price for yours. It was 50% below the sample median of €46.67.
Our Best Value pick, The Vira Bali Boutique Hotel & Suite, was €49.78 per night with 8.9 and 4 stars. Our Luxury pick, Rama Beach Resort and Villas, was €65.77 with 9.0 and 5 stars. Both are still affordable, so if your budget allows an extra €27 to €43 a night, you get a clearly higher guest score.
The facilities list includes a gym, spa, pool, restaurant, family rooms, garden, terrace, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. Breakfast types listed include continental, vegetarian, halal, Asian, American, buffet and breakfast to go. Inclusion in your rate is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 8 eligible hotels in Kuta. After setting aside the upscale choice, this one had the lowest eligible reference price, which is how our Budget slot works. A 4-star listing with this many facilities at about €23 a night is the reason it earns the spot.
Before you book
Check whether breakfast is in your rate. Given the complaints, you may prefer a room-only rate and eat at the food stalls guests mention. Confirm that the pool, spa and gym are open on your dates and whether they cost extra.
Read the cancellation terms, which we have not assessed. If you have an early flight, ask whether the breakfast to go option can be arranged.
