Only if you're desperate, and still maybe not.

This is not a hotel, but a unit within a townhouse complex. It's in the middle of a sketchy neighbourhood with very little English. Instead of a 9 minute drive from the airport (according to google maps) our cab driver spent 60 minutes trying to find it, even asked 3 people for directions. Because it wasn't a hotel, no one had heard of it.
The two-room townhouse was...well, \"budget\" would be putting it kindly. The rooms are small, dirty, the air was thick with mosquitos and mildew, I had to cover my pillow in the towel provided because it smelled mouldy. The bathroom was grimey and we did have to kill a big cockroach. Also, THERE IS NO WIFI at all. We were all a bit spooked by this place.

To their credit, the young man and woman who we had to \"check-out\" with (if you can call it that) were very kind and gave us their hotspot to find an uber to gtfo the next day.

While it was cheap, I would not stay there again, and would recommend this place only for the fearless and (very) frugal.

Horrendous

Really dont know what to say, keeping it short as its important people read this before booking, there are many hotels that would appreciate you and your money, this place is a joke, i have no time for a full on review, staff no time for you, not the true Bali, no towels in your no window room, no drinking water provided, as for cleanliness, well! I have stayed in many hotel's etc, this place put a downer on Bali for me .

Comfortable & homey studio far away from tourists

I found the place to be a comfortable and homey studio for a single person inside an old villa not catered to the typical foreign tourist. There was no wifi, no wine, only beer, the restaurant did not accept VISA and the closest ATM was not part of the cirrus network. As I had limited local currency, I spent my first afternoon and the following morning trying to get someone to take me to the ANZ ATM in town. To no avail. There is a larger quite magnificent complex with swimming pool nearby under the same management and the manager would not have me taken there. Instead, she phoned ANZ only to be told they were not linked to cirrus either. Finally, the security guy at my complex who seemed the only person to know anything about western ways volunteered. By the time, I got enough local money, it was late in the second day of my stopover. Fortunately, I had had enough money to buy myself some beer and street food of which there was aplenty. I did not see any supermarket that the manager had told me about and doubted even if there had been one that they would have accepted VISA. There were a lot of small shops lining the street but I had to walk some distance to one that had real fruit juice (instead of fruit drinks loaded with sugar)
The manager of my smaller complex was young and green and could not show me where we were on the map of Central Denpassar that I showed her. For sure the hotel was in the middle of a bustling town or village away from the tourist areas.
