It's usually fully booked, often months in advance. Ditto La Walon, which I prefer as it's a smaller hotel with much bigger rooms for comparable prices.
Hassling IS far worse in Poppies 1 & 2 than elsewhere around the tourist strip - nowhere near as bad in Seminyak or many parts of Legian.
Be that as it may, the OP actually asked for somewhere NOT central. Much as I have enjoyed my several stays at Masa & La Walon in Poppies 1 I feel that it would not suit this particular poster, that is all.
