Gooday all, esp R&H, thanks for the URL. That Sol Inn sounds like an expensive pad that would want to be 5*. Really guys, even if it was extra grouse why would you want to be in the hotel long enough to justify the room rate. Sleep & shower then out into the street where there are people to meet and things to eat at fair dinkum budget councious prices (except if that darned rupiah don't keep doubling it's weight like a new born hen).
The Sol's web page quotes a twin at US$80 which generally translates to $45 if you know your cats name. That is considered expensive in Bali and can command very nice accomodation. If that's your desire then great but it really does belie what's outside the front door. Frankly I felt a little guilty in a US$25 (got for AUS$24 prepaid in Oz, Barong, Jelang Poppies II) when having staff serve me who would be lucky to get paid my daily rent for a months work.
I guess I'm just reflecting the size of my wallet or my Welsh ancestry:)
