    The hotel is dirty. The stairs haven't been cleaned in years. The bathroom isn't even worth mentioning.

    We had to book and pay for 2 rooms because a spare mattress wasn't available for our young child. We there left one room vacant and carried the large main mattress (heavy!) to the other room and slept in the same room anyway, but with far less space. One of the rooms had noisy air conditioning so we struggled to sleep, before switching rooms again! Also, the shower constantly dripped - which meant that, with the drain on the opposite side of the bathroom, the bathroom floor was always wet. Always wet feet even to go to toilet. Also, no hot water in any rooms. There were beer bottles outside the rooms throughout our stay, they were never picked up by the staff. There are wild dogs around the property, thankfully they were not intimidating, but they can make a noise at night.

    Close to beach. Affordable. Room size ok.

    It must have been a fantastic hotel when it was built, just like a paradise, with cosy rooms and nice bathrooms, crowned by a great bar on the roof with romantic bowers overlooking the beautiful Balangan Cliff and the beach nearby… However, little care was paid to the maintenance in the following years, so nowadays the rooms are a bit dingy, bathrooms smelly with rusty metal plates on the door… The roof-top bar and bowers are in ruins now, broken planks with rusty nails everywhere, there is nowhere to sit down there on the roof now to watch romantic sunsets. Showers are with cold water only, and quite often even without tap water at all – one evening we were just supplied with plastic buckets with cold water…

    location is perfect, not far from the airport, and very close to fantastic Balangan Cliff and the beach nearby

    There was a rat in the room, the water ran brown and dirty at times & stopped running completely other times. The air con in one of our rooms was awful, it barely worked and the room was stuffy and hot the whole stay. The location is very far away from everything else except Balangan Beach.

    Very close to Balangan beach.

    The staff was extremely unfriendly, it was extreme loud. The scooter were driving like it was a main road and then the dogs won’t shout out until sometimes 4 am. The room was ok but was pricey for the facilities. The internet sucked. Needed to connect only in the corredor. And no phone connection. Was nothing to hang the wet clothes. The bath was always wet like a pool, and drop the entire night. Cleaning was not the best. There is no breakfast spot around.

    That was 3 feet from the beach. It was very good located and you save to pay the beach fee.

    Weirdly placed light switches and had to move the bed to access power point.. Nowhere to hang stuff to dry.. Nowhere to put soap or hang hose in bathroom.. A mirror over the sink would be a nice touch..

    There was mould around the edges, the room smelled and the bathroom was not clean and in a really bad condition. They only had cold water, so no warm shower in the evening. The bed covers did not seem washed.

    The only good thing about the property is the price. The rest was a bit rough.

    Not very clean, I had to clean myself a bit but for how cheap it was I can’t complain too much on that regard

    Balangan is by far my favorite beach/area in Bali, there is nothing better and this is the closest hotel to the beach. It’s listed as a hostel but you get your own room and have no shared facilities which is epic

    The bathroom was mouldy and the tiles were stained brown. The paint and plaster on the walls were peeling and looks really unmaintained. Because there’s no service I relied heavily on the wifi for planning but the wifi only worked outside of my room which I found to be a plan.

    Close walk to the cliff face which was nice

    The shower was laughable but you get what you pay for. Friends room didn't lock so had to keep his stuff in my room and his AC was not great at all.

    At the top of the stairs to the beach and has a great sunset viewing point. My AC was awesome, my friends didn't even seem like it was on. You're paying to be close to the beach and that's it.

    The building is a little worn out which is why the prices are low.

    Location is excellent since it is about 50 steps to the beach. The rooms are ample and clean with excellent wifi and AC. Once you are on the North end of the beach you can have your pick of food and surf schools. Aslo it's just above a convenience store for cold drinks, water, etc
