For the price, the hotel is ok. But on the first day, i was greeted with few centipede. Being asian n seeing the size, it is not a problem.
However, my room was the first room near the cafe. I dont know whether it is the guest or the worker who were hanging out at the cafe and chattering loudly in wee hours (1am-3am). Most probably will only come back if this is my last resort.

I have been to Bali many times since the eighties and have started stayi here the past five or so years. It is a 15 minute from Kuta beach, a 5 minute walk to Matahari department store and restaurants. It is a basic guesthouse, but they will clean it every day if you want and leave 2 bottles of water. If you don't want them to clean it they won't, like so many other insist on doing. They will get you a GRAB cab, they cost peanuts and are cheaper than uber etc if you need one, which cost a fraction of what a taxi charges. Not that I want to be cheap here, but they insist on getting you one. Look, when I got with friends I will probably go to the Secret Garden Inn,it has a pool, but on my own this place suits me perfectly. It has cable, about 5 movie channels and 3 sport, + rugger on setanta if you're that way inclined. And there's a horror channel too. But I have to say this last holiday was different. I went for 4 weeks, and for the past ten days have been holed up in the room with a dislocated kneecap. They did everything for me, got me coffee, food etc from the shop across the road, given the pain I was in. When I continually tried to give them money they didn't want to take it. It may not be the Hilton, but I will never forget what these people did for me when it mattered. I'll probably be back there in June. On the day my accident happened, they moved everything down from my second floor room, which was very quiet, to a ground floor room, noisy, but my knee preferred it.

Good location for food and shopping

Nice location and friendly staff. The room is fair clean and the bed is comfortable, but the bed sheet has little dirts and the door of restroom had been broken and not functioning well. I think they can fix it, it is more better for customers.

Wouldn't stay here again.

Was just a short stay as had to wait for flight so were there only a few hours. But the room was not advertised correctly in Expedia as it stated it was 52 sq meters and it was more like 20. So that was a disappointment. Room very dismal with marks on walls. No window. There were 2 hugh cockroaches in the bathroom when we arrived and we had to get staff to remove them.

Good for low budget

The hotel staff are very friendly, the internet is good, I mean the hotel is good for people who want a place to crash at night and head out most of the day. The location is great and close to many hotspots. I would consider booking at the same hotel if I ever needed a break with a tight budget. Mostly recommanded for solo travellers.

Good place for a short stay

We arrived late because we were coming from Java and had only booked one night as we had an early flight the next morning from the the Denpasar airport (great place to stay if you need early short transport to the airport, only 20 minutes and 45,000 Rupiah by metered taxi) But the man checking us in was asking us why we were staying here, seemingly like he didn't want us there or was annoyed we were checking in so late and leaving so early (maybe wanted us to stay more nights {upsell?} and/or wanted us to buy into the 15,000 rp breakfast) either way, he made us feel a little put off and unwanted. Other than that the room was big enough for sleeping and showering which is really all we needed before our flight in the morning. We walked down to the sports bar/restaurant and ended up walking right into their 10pm happy hour which was nice, had some delicious nachos and clam chowder and called it a night about 11pm, The hotel is 5 minute walking distance from a main strip in Kuta, lots of shops, restaurants, ATMs, bars, etc. Would recommend for a short stay but not for any longer than two nights.

Budget hotel for those that don't want flashy.

It was a basic hotel that had everything you needed; A/c, fridge, TV with Foxtel, kettle, Bali coffee, tea, sugar, (no milk was available though) complimentary water bottle per day, extra towels, if you requested it. Night staff member Stanley was very happy to help with requests and had a lovely friendly personality. Day staff was not very good with English so I avoided organising anything with her and preferred to wait for Stanley to be back on. Was a bit put off when we first arrived to find a towel with a big hole in it, however extra towels requested were of better condition. Cleaning was passable on arrival. Room was not re-cleaned in the 5 days we were there. (Not sure if we needed to request it but we didn't mind as we were hardly there). Ensuite was quite small but again good enough to serve it's purpose. Great hotel if you're looking for something cheap to use for showering and sleeping, and plan to be out exploring Bali most of your days. A restaurant was being built while I was there and was going to be ready about 2 weeks after I left. This would improve things as you would then have an option to have breakfast there instead of going out to find somewhere to eat. Also, WiFi was available but as with most of Bali was a weak connection and I found it was stronger if I stood near my door. It was enough though to keep me connected to family and friends back home through facebook. We were able to walk everywhere in Kuta from there too.

No Frills Accomodation

It was below average consider value for the money charged. Location is great and convenient - which is a plus! Everything is \"self-serve\" make every request from cleaning the room to complimentary bottle water. 3rd bed was just a mattress on the floor, which is quite dirty and black. Would stay again for ONLY budget /cheap traveling with 2 guests but not three in group. Staff was friendly but language is a big thing - They can serve you better if you could use some local words. Wifi is really slow and drop off frequently.

A cheap place to sleep at night

They advertised as Wi-Fi available in all rooms. But no Wi-Fi signal in any of the rooms. Wi-Fi signal is available only in the lobby. But only two chairs are in the lobby which would be always occupied by the hotel staff and no place for customers to sit and use internet. Location is not bad and everything is in walking distance. Overall it is a cheap place and you will get for what you pay.

Very cheap Homestay, you get what you pay for

Stayed there two nights when in Kuta during a recent trip. While the service is a bit amateur-ish, it is still very friendly. On the same notes, the rooms could be better-equipped and a tad cleaner, but you're not staying at or paying for 5-star hotel. All in all I was happy about my stay.

Pretty good

The staff were very friendly which was the nicest thing about the hotel. They were always willing to help with problems or booking. The location is great too; there are many places to eat along the road and excellent shopping the next street up. Plus, the pool was totally worth it! The only \"problems\" are that our room only had one tv channel and that there was a very slight musky odor. However, we were there in shoulder season (March) where there was a lot of rain so that might explain that. In any case we just bought incence so it was fine. Either way, I would stay here again.

Cheap, no frills accomodation

We wanted a cheap hotel and we got it. There was no safe in the room, no daily water, no daily room cleans etc (however, you could request them), no pool, and no breakfast BUT it was really cheap, in a great location, and the staff were friendly and helpful when required. Overall, we were satisfied with our accomodation but I would only recommend to those who aren't afraid of less than 3 star quality.

Evening staff is more helpful than morning staff

The gentleman who works in the evenings (Andy) was very helpful and knew the most english. The ladies in the morning, did not know as much english or information about the surrounding area. Overall, the stay was great, the rooms were clean, and the kitchenette facilities are in the room and useable. I would definitely recommend this guest house to others!

I booked this hotel online, so I was a bit sceptical first. But when we arrived there we were very suprised since the room was very nice and clean. No breakfast though, but the hotel is surrounded by many shops and restaurants, so that's not so big deal. Staff was very friendly.

Worst than expected!

Staff was terrible, unwilling to help with anything. Internet was non-existent and room was pretty dirty. Also, smoking is allowed in the rooms and you can tell! They did give free bottled water though so it's not all bad! Plus the location is pretty decent too. There are MANY other hotels/hostels/guest houses that offer better options in the area.

Great budget accomodation in Kuta, MATAHARI

First of all, location:

Walking distances to all places, food from international (many options in Matahari Kuta Square) to traditional (famous Warung Made or along Raya Kuta Street - soo many option and also Kuta Traditional Market for best photoshoot and tasty local food)

Situated in Tegal Wangi Street, which is one way street, really quite at night, really good for night sleep

For me, the most important thing is, close to the Airport, really convinience!

My next visit, definitely staying in this place

and the accomodation it self:

You can't compare with other fancy hotel, this is only 'Guest House' class, not even single Star, however, for 'Guest House' class, you can't beat with other especially for their cleanliness (room+bathroom with hot water shower), aircon, good size of flatscreen telly with cable...Bedsheet...everything. This is enough for me, because the reason you come to this Island is to explore, not to just staying in your room!!!

気軽に泊まれるホテル。

客室は広めで、TV、冷蔵庫、クーラーがついています。日本のテレビも写ります。
クローゼットもありますがハンガーが無いので持って行くか買うといいとおもいます。
アメニティーは基本ありません。トイレットペーパー、ティッシュペーパーもありません。全てあちらで揃えるようです。
スーパー、コンビニも徒歩圏内にあるので便利だと思います。
2週間滞在しましたが、ルームメイクは一度でした。バスタオルもフロントに言わないと変えてくれません。
ただ、立地条件や便利性を考えるとコスパは良いと思います。
マタハリデパートも歩いて5分以内に着きますし、ビーチまでも歩いて10分かかりません。
洗濯は近所に洗濯屋さんがあるので困りません。バリにはコインランドリーがありません。
バリに行く際にはまた利用しようと思います。
