Bali's Cutest Hotel? OYO 90568 Kawaii Apartment Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! Because we're diving headfirst into the pastel-colored, presumably adorable world of Bali's Cutest Hotel? OYO 90568 Kawaii Apartment Awaits!. Look, I'm not gonna lie. The name itself is enough to make you either coo with delight or run screaming for a minimalist, Brutalist-chic option. Let's find out which side of that coin we land on, shall we? This review… is gonna be a journey.
(Disclaimer: All of this is based on listed amenities and general assumptions. I have NOT physically stayed there, unfortunately. My bank account is currently protesting any Balinese adventures. Consider this the excited, armchair traveler's guide.)
First Impressions & The Kawaii Factor (Or Lack Thereof?):
Okay, so… "Kawaii Apartment Awaits!" I'm envisioning Hello Kitty EVERYTHING. Think oversized bows, maybe some strategically placed plushies. This… is what I hope for. The name sets a high bar, right? It's a promise of cuteness. We'll see if it delivers. The fact it's an OYO hotel… well, that introduces a level of uncertainty. OYOs can be a mixed bag. Let's hope this one leans towards the "charming, slightly quirky" side and avoids the "slightly… sketchy" end of the spectrum.
Accessibility & Getting Around (Not as cute, but VERY important!):
Alright, accessibility. This is where things can get tricky. The description says "Facilities for disabled guests" which is… vague. "Facilities" can mean anything from a slightly wider door frame to a fully adapted suite. We desperately need details, and unfortunately, the listed amenities don't go into specifics. Major fail here, OYO! Not a huge fan of a hotel that skips this crucial info, the accessibility is something I'd need to confirm before booking.
- Accessibility: This needs MORE info from the hotel directly.
- Elevator: YES! Vital for anyone with mobility issues. Good.
- Car Park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Valet Parking: These are all good, but doesn’t automatically mean accessibility.
The Digital Life (Internet, because let's be real):
Thank god for this. I need the internet like I need oxygen. The listing boasts a laundry list of internet accessibility:
- Internet access – LAN - Old school, love it
- Internet access – wireless, which is the norm these days, love that as well!
- Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! - YES!
- Wi-Fi in public areas - Double YES!
I am immediately calmed about that. Now, if the Wi-Fi is slow because everyone's trying to stream K-dramas… well, that's a different story.
Relaxation Station (Spa, Pool, and Pretend Bliss):
Okay, the supposed "Kawaii" should be a highlight. But lets see the options on offer and if the reality of the Kawaii is a delight or not…
- Pool with view, Sauna, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor]: – These all sound amazing. Imagine floating in a pool, looking at the Balinese lushness. If the water's cold, I'm sulking.
- Fitness center, Gym/fitness: – For you, the perpetually active people. Pass. I'll take a massage, please.
- Body scrub, Body wrap, Massage: – Now we're talking! Sign me up for the full pampering experience. Especially after a long flight. I need to be de-stressed and ready to take a look at the island.
Cleanliness and Safety (Because nobody wants Bali Belly):
This is a BIG one, especially post-pandemic. Does "Kawaii" mean clean? Or is it just… cute? Thank goodness for this list:
- Anti-viral cleaning products: Good.
- Daily disinfection in common areas: Excellent.
- Hand sanitizer: Essential.
- Rooms sanitized between stays, Sterilizing equipment, Professional-grade sanitizing services: Reassuring!
- Doctor/nurse on call, First aid kit: Smart.
- Staff trained in safety protocol: Absolutely necessary.
- Smoking area: Understandable.
Hopefully, the reality matches the promises! I am hopeful even in the worst of it all.
I would want to know if the bathrooms shine!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (Because let's face it, we're here to eat):
This is where the "Kawaii" theme could really shine. Imagine: pastel-colored pastries, heart-shaped lattes, mini pancakes shaped like kittens! Sadly, the listing is vague:
- Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant, A la carte in restaurant, Bottle of water, Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Restaurants, Room service [24-hour], Salad in restaurant, Snack bar, Soup in restaurant: – A LOT of options. I like options!
- Breakfast in room, Breakfast takeaway service: – Perfect for those lazy mornings.
My brain is imagining a pastel-colored buffet. My only REAL worry – are the food options are safe for sensitive tummies?
Services and Conveniences (The Practical Stuff):
- Air conditioning in public area, Concierge, Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Safety deposit boxes, Terrace: Standard, useful, and appreciated.
- Cash withdrawal: Helpful for my wallet.
- Contactless check-in/out: Progress!
For the Kids (If you have them, I don’t, personally):
- Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal – Useful if you’re traveling with mini-humans.
The Nitty-Gritty Room Details (Where the Magic Happens – Or Doesn't):
This is where the potential for "Kawaii" really gets put to the test!
- Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens: – Wow. A lot of stuff here. A full suite of amenities.
My Big Question: Are the little things, the details, also cute? Is there a small, plushie waiting for me? Are the toiletries in adorable, pastel-colored bottles? THIS is what I need to know!
Safety/Security Features:
- CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, Check-in/out [express], Check-in/out [private], Fire extinguisher, Front desk [24-hour], Non-smoking rooms, Smoke alarms, Soundproof rooms, Security [24-hour].
Getting Around (The Adventures Begin):
- Airport transfer, Bicycle parking, Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Car power charging station, Taxi service, Valet parking.
The Verdict (My Messy, Opinionated Take):
Okay, so based on the listing, OYO 90568 Kawaii Apartment Awaits! could be a good choice. But… there are definite caveats. The name promises a level of… well, cuteness the listing doesn't fully deliver. It could be the most adorable thing I've ever seen or basic, which is a gamble. It's missing key details (accessibility being the biggest red flag), and the lack of specific "Kawaii" touches is a bit disappointing.
What I need to make a booking:
- More info on the “Kawaii” factor. Is it just the name?
- Confirmation on accessibility. This is non-negotiable.
- Photos of the hotel's decor. I need visual confirmation of the promised cuteness!
My Hypothetical Reviewer's Score: 3 out of 5 stars… WITH A LOT OF HOPE! It has potential, but needs work on the details and a little bit of that promised "Kawaii" magic.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dissect my Bali adventure at the gloriously named OYO 90568 Kawaii Apartment. “Kawaii.” I mean, I’m not exactly a Hello Kitty enthusiast, but who am I to judge? This is gonna be a wild ride, a glorious disaster, probably involving too much Bintang and a healthy dose of existential dread. Here goes…
MY BALI BLUNDER (aka The Kawaii Chronicles)
Day 1: Arrival & The Great Scooter Scramble
Morning (aka “The Hangover of My Expectations”): Landed in Denpasar. It was hot. Like, sticky hot. The air immediately clung to me like a particularly aggressive toddler. Immigration was a breeze. Then, the chaos began. Figuring out the Bluebird taxi situation was a level of logistical torture I wasn’t prepared for. Finally, I found one and, after a white-knuckled ride through traffic that defied all known laws of physics, I arrived at the promised land: the Kawaii Apartment.
Afternoon (aka “Apartment Apocalypse”): The "Kawaii" part? Let's just say the floral wallpaper screamed more "Grandma’s Guest Room" than "Instagram-Worthy Paradise." It was…functional. Okay, it had air conditioning. That fact alone saved my sanity. The bed looked inviting, BUT first: the scooter. Oh, the scooter. I’d envisioned myself effortlessly gliding through rice paddies, a vision of bohemian chic. Reality? My driving skills were more "dodgy toddler learning to walk" than "Valentino on wheels." After the rental guy, a guy named Wayan (everyone's named Wayan!), showed me (very briefly), it was all me! The first 5 minutes? Utter, terrifying panic. I forgot EVERYTHING he said. I went through more intersections than I was supposed to, nearly taking out a cow. I'm pretty sure I prayed to Buddha, Allah, and possibly the Flying Spaghetti Monster all at once. It was…an experience.
Evening (aka “Bintang and Regret”): Wound up at a warung (local restaurant) that was so dingy, it was gorgeous. Ordered Nasi Goreng (duh) and a Bintang. Multiple Bintangs. A LOT of Bintangs. The scooter ride back? A blur. I vaguely remember singing off-key along to some Balinese pop music. Woke up with a pounding headache and a feeling of profound shame. But, hey, Bali, right?
Day 2: Ubud & The Monkey Business (Literally)
Morning (aka "The Aftermath"): My scooter anxiety reached new heights. Did I actually hurt someone? Did I run over a cat? My conscience will haunt me forever. Still, gotta press on! To Ubud! The spiritual heart of Bali!
Afternoon (aka "Monkey Mayhem"): The Monkey Forest. It was beautiful. Lush. And…infested with thieving, grumpy monkeys. They were eyeing my water bottle with a predatory gleam. I kept my sunglasses on, and they still tried to snatch them. It was as though the monkeys were judging my choices. I did a lot of silent internal screaming. One monkey straight up jumped on my back. I squealed. I'm not proud. Left the forest with a near-constant anxiety that I was being watched.
Late Afternoon (aka "Rice Paddy Reverie and My Existential Crisis"): Found a rice paddy that felt like a painting come to life. Seriously, stunning. Took approximately 763 photos. Sat there for hours, pretending to contemplate the meaning of life and basically just thinking about what to eat for dinner. Feeling a bit lost, I ordered a latte. It was, unsurprisingly, bad.
Evening (aka "Yoga and the Shame of My Inner Self"): Tried a yoga class. I lasted about 20 minutes before I was completely certain I would die of heat exhaustion. I've never felt more uncoordinated in my life. Walked out feeling like an utter fraud. Ate terrible noodles outside and took a scooter ride.
Day 3: Coastline and the Secret Beach (kind of)
Morning (aka "The Blue Water Myth"): The day was dedicated to the coast. It was amazing and I spent the morning wandering along Seminyak and Kuta beaches, and was surrounded by waves, and waves of tourists. The beach was a beautiful mess of people.
Afternoon (aka "Secret Beach Search and the Sand Between My Teeth"): I decided to find a “secret beach.” After much online searching, I went on a long ride and got lost. I eventually found a beach that was kinda secret, but not really. It was gorgeous, though. The waves crashed, the sun beat down, and I got sand. Everywhere. I ate local food.
Evening (aka "Sunset Bliss, Mosquito Bites, and the Bintang Backlog"): The sunset at Uluwatu. Seriously, breathtaking. It made all the motorcycle fear worth it. I stared, I drank Bintang, and I felt at peace. Until the mosquitoes discovered me. I, unfortunately, took more than a few bites.
Day 4: Departure (and the lingering smell of sunscreen and regret)
- Morning (aka "Last-Minute Panicking and the Kawaii Farewell"): Ate the last of the packaged snacks I found at the convenience store. I double-checked that I had my passport, and paid up for my time at the Kawaii Apartments. I took those last few photos, and prepared myself for the flight back.
- Departure: Arrived at the airport with approximately 45 minutes to spare. I'm going to miss this island.
Quirky Observations & Random Thoughts:
- Traffic is a blood sport. Seriously.
- Everywhere smells faintly of incense and frangipani. (Mostly just incense.)
- Balinese people are the kindest, most patient people on earth, especially when dealing with clumsy tourists like me.
- My brain is currently composed of Bintang and the lingering memory of monkeys.
- I need to learn to say "No, thank you" to persistent vendors.
- I will probably never be able to ride a scooter properly.
- I’m pretty sure I’ve only scratched the surface of what Bali has to offer.
Final Verdict:
Bali. It’s chaotic. It’s beautiful. It’s messy. It's…definitely an experience. Would I go back? Absolutely. Hopefully, next time I'll remember where I parked my scooter. And maybe, just maybe, I'll learn how to truly relax and embrace the chaos. Or at least, survive it. And maybe, just maybe, the next apartment won't be so "Kawaii."
