For what you are wanting the Suriwathi Hotel on Jl Sahadewa would be excellent.
Room and breakfast start at $20..basic but clean or two people could share a $42 per nt room. Sort of balinese style, pool,etc but LOCATION is fantastic. Right on Jl Padma and surrounded by many inexpensive night clubs and resturants. Even if you book something else before you go, do take time to check this one out when you get there. Warung Yogya in Jl Padma Utara serves great meals for under $2.00 and many others around..Close to Commonwealth Bank which is a good place to use an ATM. A driver for whole day will be around 300,000 rupiah to take you wherever you want to go.
