Good location if you like being on the main road...
Looks a bit dingy from the street with restaurant at front.
Was a bit dim & had dirty table cloths from nite before/breakfast?
Tables mostly inside with some on street frontage
Staff very friendly.
Rooms and pool located through a door next to reception and behind the restaurant area
Quieter as its blocked off from noise on street.
Standard rooms big with separate sitting area, clean, bathrooms good but not overly large.
Aircon was was very cold in the room we looked at.
Standard rooms in 2 storey blocks on one side with pool located in the centre.
Bungalows/cottages are single storey & more expensive.
Located on the opposite side to the standard rooms
Room not quite as large as standard.
Sitting area near the window as for standard room.
Extra cost is for the Balinese bathroom (outside/garden etc)
Was given a price of 250000rp with breakfast for standard & 350 for cottage.
Didn't try for less as I was not staying there.
The pool was clean & located in the middle between 2 room sections.
Small but ok.
Gardens nice.

Staff would rectify this or any problems if asked but we did not ask as it did not bother us.
No real problem with mozzies in the bathroom or open living areas but we did use spray in the rooms at times.
At times ants in the bathrooms etc
Staff also sprayed on occasions when they cleaned.

Evidence of leaking in main living areas & second bedroom when it rains (walls wet/dark) but no problem.
