Really good!
Pros:

Everything was super clean and the location is really good, close to Kuta but not in the middle of caos. Room is simple but very comfortable and the staff is super sweet!

Cons:

Breakfast is really simple, not very good. Hot water doesn’t last long in the shower. And we stood there for 5 days and no one offered to clean the bedroom.

A good location and the owner is so nice!
Pros:

Th owner. This is a little bit of an emotive review if I’m honest as the owner was so kind and trie his best to resolve issues and ensure all the guests were happy. He’s such a lovely man and so helpful.
The room is really well decorated and the location is excellent.

Cons:

The hotel has potential, but there were several disappointing issues. I was charged more for a transfer than the price quoted in the room because I was travelling solo, which didn't feel fair.
The room door lock didn't close properly but he changed the lock on the second day, and there was an occasional sewage smell. I was offered another room on my second day, but with only one night left, I chose not to move. The rooms are close together and the first night was quite noisy because of my neighbours - not intentionally but sound travels. The second night was quiet.

My biggest concern was the taxi arranged through the hotel. The first driver was excellent, but for my return journey he sent a friend from Sinum Transport as his WhatsApp name, who charged me much more than the agreed price in addition to absolutely Wreckless driving. As a solo female traveller on a quiet road, I didn't feel comfortable arguing. I would recommend the hotel stops using this driver, as I found him dishonest - please be careful ladies.

After travelling around Indonesia for several weeks, this was the first place where I genuinely felt ripped off for being a foreigner
