We stayed there for 6 nights two weeks ago.
Yes I believe the rooms on the lower floor at the front are very mouldy and smelly, as a friend was given one of these rooms but would not accept it and was given another room. We had a standard room on the first floor which was very nice and in ways better than some of the standard rooms we have stayed in elsewhere.
I didn't find the staff rude but a little stand-offish maybe.
Breakfast also was a little ordinary compaired to other hotels.
The pool area is nice but only some many pool lounges when the hotel is full which it has been recently..
The hotel does have a manoploy on transport but it is not over the top. i.e, 20,000 to go to Kuta where a metered cab would cost you about 13,000 Rp. Still cheap compaired to anywhere in Aust.
On a positive note, The beach is fabulos, the location is great for all the better class restaurants in the Seminyak area and the day Spa is one of the best i have come across and i have a lot of massages.
I would be happy to stay there again if it were in a quieter period of the year.
