i have stayed at astana pengembak a few times.. what would you like to know?
new, clean, big room, big bathroom etc. havent used the kitchen facilities but each room has a kitchenette with a 3/4 size fridge (not quite full size but much bigger than a bar fridge) pool is lovely, staff are friendly etc etc i really enjoy staying there and have got some good deals on booking.com, have bought lunch there once and the food was good. usually book a room without breakfast so cant comment on that.
for me the only negative is the location as most of my local friends are based in northern sanur. either i use the hotel shuttle service, my friends pick me up or i catch a bluebird to northern sanur for approx rp20,000-25,000. not really a big deal but for some it would be a issue not being close to the main part of sanur.
