The Mahata
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
The Mahata is worth booking if you want a highly rated 4-star base in Legian with a pool and restaurant for well under €50 a night. Skip it if lounging by a big pool is the main plan, because guests say the pool is small and sun loungers run short.

It is our Luxury pick for Legian, a 4-star hotel with a 9.4 guest score. In this town, luxury does not mean a large bill: the reference rate was about €46 a night. Couples and friends who want good service, a pool, a restaurant and free parking at a modest price fit it well.
Guests who picture long afternoons on a sun lounger should think twice. The pool is the one area reviewers criticise. Travellers who want to visit museums and monuments every day should also note that the two listed below are far away.
Location and getting around
The address is Jalan Lebak Bene, in the Legian City Center area. Guests rate the location 9.7 out of 10 and describe it as central and quiet, within walking distance of the beach and shops. We do not have measured distances to the beach, so check the map for your exact route.
The two landmarks in our data are far. The Bali Museum is about 7.9 km away, roughly 99 minutes on foot, and the Bajra Sandhi Monument is about 8.2 km, around 103 minutes. Plan on a taxi or other transport for both. These walking times are straight-line estimates.
What guests say
The score is 9.4 out of 10 from 858 reviews, and it placed first among the 9 hotels we compared. Staff come up often: guests call the team friendly, helpful, attentive and professional.
The main complaint is the swimming pool. It is clean and has a swim-up bar, but guests find it small, with limited sun loungers. If pool time matters, go early or check recent photos before booking.
Price and what you get against our other Legian picks
The reference price was €46.22 a night, about €92 for two nights. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates. The sample median was €37.26, so The Mahata costs a little more than a typical hotel here.
Grandmas Plus Hotel Legian, our Budget pick, is a 3-star with an 8.6 score at €17.84 a night. Fourteen Roses Boutique Hotel, Kuta, our Best Value pick, is also 4 stars, scores 8.9 and costs €41.48. The Mahata adds about €5 a night over Fourteen Roses for a higher guest score and a pool with a swim-up bar.
Breakfast options listed include continental, full English or Irish, vegetarian, Asian, American and buffet. Whether breakfast is included in your rate is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 9 hotels in Legian. Our Luxury slot goes to five-star hotels first, and a four-star can only take it with a score of at least 8.5. The Mahata cleared that bar easily with 9.4, the joint best score in the sample, plus a 9.7 for location.
