Febris is an OK hotel with good management but I would request a ground floor room as the stairs are unusually steep and killed my legs on the two nights we stayed there. it is on a main road (one way) and near the discovery mall and waterbom park. Hotel is newish (guessing 4 years old). My sister really liked the spa here.
Adhi dharma has a hotel and cottages, the hotel is located in more of a laneway but is in the heart of the poppies shopping/places to eat area. Cottages are on Legian st. I stayed in the family room in the hotel on ground floor here and really liked our stay it is an older hotel but the food was good and really really cheap.
Both hotels are good budget properties but located in very different locations.
I have stayed at and quite liked both, but if you can afford more maybe try the Bali Garden, Kuta Inna, which are more beachfront and have better pool areas as they look more like resorts in their grounds.
