First of all, it only cost $45 a night including breakfast in a room with a 40cm tv and air con. You get two dispensers in the shower for shampoo and body wash (I think it was body wash, it didn't have a label). Breakfast was sufficient but not what you'd get at $150 a night resort. There was a choice of egg dishes, 4 hot local dishes, toast and a tray of pastries, salads and one sort of fruit. You get two complimentary bottles of water each day as a bonus. I think this place would have been one of the original hotels and it's looking a bit aged, but then again you're paying less than $A50 a night.
It's at a fantastic spot at Pantai Jerman and it's very quiet compared to the craziness of Kuta which is just down the beach a little.
If you're into surfing, the boat to Airport Lefts. Middles and Kuta Reef cost $7 return and leaves from across the road to the hotel and there's some awesome warungs on the beach where you can get a meal and a drink for about $8.
The staff are lovely. The pool was a treat.
I was placed on the second floor, which I would call the third floor. There's no elevator so lugging all my boards up the stairs was a struggle.
Would a 62 year old surfer like me stay there again? Most certainly!
If I was looking for pure luxury, I'd look elsewhere but you can beat the value, quietness and location of this hotel
