Denpasar hotels · head to head
Two ASTON-family hotels on Gatot Subroto Barat — four-star convention stock against three-star budget Neo — with thin samples and honesty about cleanliness at both.
By Kaiser Khan · last reviewed
Rates for both move constantly, so nothing here quotes a price. Each full review carries the rate comparison for that property.
Same road, same city belt, same airport-shuttle practical job. Readers choosing between Aston badges at different star classes face this pair, not a Sanur resort comparison.
We publish a handful of comparisons per city, chosen by an editor. We do not generate a page for every possible pairing: at thirty hotels that would be 435 near-identical pages per city, and at five hundred it would be 124,750 for one city alone — which is a doorway-page pattern, not a service to anybody trying to pick a hotel.
Should you book this hotel?
Neo if the higher headline score and lower star class match your budget; Aston if you need convention facilities and the city-centre location prose — neither offers a strong cleanliness story.
Neither hotel has POI rows. Both sit on Gatot Subroto Barat in the Denpasar city belt with DPS on the property records row. Location scores are close — 8.65 at Aston against 7.59 at Neo — with different prose: strategic city centre versus convenient-but-noisy.
Neo posts the higher supplier rating — 7.9 from 180 reviews against 7.6 from 264 at Aston, captured 16 January and 9 January 2026. Aston leads on location sentiment; Neo leads on service (8.55 against 8.65 is close) and avoids the worst cleanliness number — 7.58 against 6.65. Both carry cleanliness complaints.
Facilities: Aston adds convention facilities, fitness centre and valet parking; Neo is leaner with pool, restaurant and spa. Star class splits four-star versus three-star; chain splits Aston versus Neo.
Verdict last reviewed . Rates, refurbishments and management change — re-check anything time-sensitive before booking.

Every row is checkable against the supplier data on the two property pages. “Level” is a real answer and is used — a comparison where one side wins every row is usually a comparison somebody wrote backwards from the conclusion.
