years ago, but not rundown, have a look at the Satriya Cottages.
It is a gorgeous Balinese style building in a real Balinese compound.
You are in the heart of Kuta but in total serenity once you step through the walls of the entrance.
I have stayed at the Champlung and had a leaky roof, filthy brown water running down the bathroom walls, non functioning air con, dirty sheets that didn't reach the end of the bed.
What's in a hotel anyway ????
For me , comfort, cleanliness and security.
