Quiet rooms at Holiday Inn Resort Bali Nusa Dua by IHG
Sound insulation is poor across multiple dimensions: noise bleeds from adjacent rooms, corridors near lifts, pool areas, and external sources. Reviewers consistently report disrupted sleep quality.
Strong concentration of complaints in May–July 2026 (7 of 10 claims), with earlier isolated reports in August 2025 and September 2025. The recent clustering suggests sound insulation remains a persistent current issue, not a resolved historical problem. No evidence of improvement over time.
What the reviews tell us
Consistent complaints about noise transmission from adjacent rooms and corridors, with particular weakness noted around lift/elevator areas
Inner pool-facing rooms and front road-facing rooms are specifically problematic; pool sounds and external traffic penetrate directly into guest spaces
Sliding glass doors in ocean view rooms permit excessive sound ingress, degrading their premium appeal
Sleep quality is measurably affected; multiple independent reviewers explicitly report being unable to sleep due to noise levels
Operational noise (pool repairs, lobby activity) audibly penetrates guest rooms, indicating systemic insulation shortfall
Holiday Inn Resort Bali Nusa Dua exhibits significant and consistent sound insulation deficiencies that negatively impact guest sleep and comfort. The evidence spans multiple noise sources and room locations. Guests in inner pool-facing rooms report hearing conversations and activity from the pool and restaurant areas, with one reviewer noting that pool sounds enter through the main door itself. Road-facing front rooms suffer from exterior noise, prompting expert recommendations for triple-glazed windows. Sliding glass doors in ocean view rooms permit substantial sound transmission. Adjacent room noise is a documented issue, as is noise from the lift/elevator areas in corridors. The acoustic weakness extends to operational noise: even pool maintenance work creates audible disruption in guest rooms. Review dates cluster primarily in mid-2026 (May–July), indicating these are current rather than historical concerns. Geographically, complaints originate from diverse markets (Singapore, China, Poland, Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, United States), suggesting the problem is systematic rather than localized perception.
The evidence
Representative quotes from 10 supporting reviewsSound insulation could be better especially if you're around the lifts
Sound proof can be better, one can hear everyone from the pool (the sound enters from the main door)
It can get noisy if you get the inner pool room because you hear all sounds from people in the pool and restaurant
the owners need to invest in triple glazing for the rooms out the front
