I used to be a fan of Agung Cottages, where I paid Rp 120,000 last year. This year the rate increased to Rp 250,000 which is poor value for a non-airconditioned room.
I found this year that Taman Sari Cottages in Poppies 2 Lane was better value at Rp 180,000 per night. The price of the room includes breakfast. There is a small fridge in the room, a balcony, a backup generator and the room was airconditioned.
Taman Sari Cottages is only a short way down Poppies 2 Lane from Jalan Legian. It is well lit and always full of people and vehicles.
I have never stayed at the Simpang Inn, but I like the steak sandwiches at the Simpang Cafe. I was never sick from eating there.
