# Quest San Denpasar by ASTON vs Neo Denpasar by ASTON

Two three-star city-belt budget hotels — Mahendradata against Gatot Subroto Barat — with no POI kilometres in our seed and honesty about cleanliness at both.

## Why this pair

Same star class, same Denpasar city-belt job, different ASTON-family brands. Readers actually choose between the larger-sample Quest and the thinner-sample Neo; Sanur beach would be a different trip.

## Verdict

Quest if the 1,642-review sample and slightly stronger room-quality scores matter; Neo if you want Gatot Subroto Barat and accept an even thinner sample — neither offers a strong cleanliness story.

Neither hotel has POI rows. Quest is on Jalan Mahendradata; Neo is on Jalan Gatot Subroto Barat. Location scores 7.54 against 7.59 — Quest’s guest prose calls the pin remote with long taxi rides; Neo’s calls it convenient for purpose with noise issues named.

Supplier ratings favour Quest — 8.2 from 1,642 reviews as of 8 January 2026 against 7.9 from 180 at Neo as of 16 January 2026. Quest’s sample is nearly ten times larger. Room quality 7.99 against 7.04; value 8.48 against 8.03; cleanliness 7.53 against 7.58 — nearly tied and soft at both.

Facilities: both list outdoor pool, restaurant, airport shuttle and spa/massage. Quest adds free parking, soundproof rooms and spa/wellness centre; Neo adds garden, private parking and ATM on site. Chain splits Quest versus Neo.

Cons: Quest names cleanliness issues and remote location; Neo names noise, maintenance and old linen. Check-in and check-out times are not published for either property in the editorial we cite.

**Best for:**
- Choosing between two three-star ASTON-family city-belt bases
- Budget travellers who want pool and airport shuttle listed without Sanur resort rates

**Not for:**
- Anyone who needs a spotless cleanliness story — both score in the mid-7s with named issues
- Sanur beachfront seekers — see The Meru Sanur instead
