Smaller Balinese style hotel in great location, just behind Matahari's in Kuta but no noise, laneway to get to hotel has a school run off it.
Hotel is made up of block of standard rooms, 3 storey high, no lift, very basic and a row of standard rooms along the pool, again basic, have air-con, small fridge, hot/cold shower, queen or single beds, wardrobe, desk and chair.
8 or 9 deluxe cottages which have 1 or 2 queen size beds, wardrobe, desk and chair, air-con, and outdoor bathrooms, very roomy and comfy.
About 10 Superior rooms, just been renovated westernised style, again same in rooms as above.
Also a row of standard rooms with outdoor bathrooms.
Pool is small, not resort style and has a bubble spa at one end, grab rails to get in and out or enter by your bottom in the kiddy end of the pool, very small kiddy end. Clean and refrshing, can get warm.
Dining room has a standard a la carte menu which provides room service too, lunches same and have a spevcial on each day, includes drink and no taxes, very good value, meals very good. Breakfast is cooked to order, eggs however you like with bacon, sausage, tomatoes and toast. Buffet of nasi goreng and fried tomatoes, sometimes croissants or buns, juice, tea and coffee, cereal and milk.
Safety boxes at reception, they hold a key and you hold a key, need both keys to open. Very friendly staff, aren't they everywhere? Some of the rooms are getting rundown and in need of renovation but good value for the money.
