Well from what I have read over the last year or so I think that I am the only person on the BTF that actually likes & regularly stays at the IGBB in Sanur!!
I've recommended the hotel to friends - have shown them photos and explained why I like it before they book - the location on the beachfront in northern end of sanur, large grounds with palm trees and grass by the garden wing pool, cheap yummy pizza by the pool, cold a/c in the rooms, friendly housekeeping/garden staff etc.
My friends that have stayed there - in the garden wing, not the horrible high rise section!! - have all liked it and would return too. We take the hotel for what it is - it's relatively cheap, its clean and its in a great location. Yes the bathrooms need renovating and the a/c can sometimes be a bit noisy but to me the pros outweigh the cons.
However in saying how much i like it (as i probably see the "old hotel" that is in need of a few renos through rose coloured glasses) I would now hesitate to recommend the hotel on the BTF as there are so many negative comments written by other people. I wouldn't want to be part of "ruining" someone's Bali holiday if they didn't like the hotel that I had recommended to them.
Hope that helps & sorry for rambling on.. just wanted to give my 2 cents worth..
