Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Incredible value for money in an overpriced neighborhood
- Two sparkling pools (one plunge, one lap-worthy)
- Shared kitchen that actually makes you want to cook
- Legendary staff (shoutout to Diana and Felis) who treat you like family
Snel Overzicht: A rare budget gem that delivers 5-star cleanliness in a 1-star traffic zone.
Beoordeeld door @hotelintro: I was shocked this place was only $60 a night! My room had the cutest boho decor, and working from the open-air co-working space by the pool was a total game-changer. It’s the perfect spot if you want that Canggu vibe without breaking the bank.

- You're a digital nomad on a budget
- You ride a scooter and want to be between Berawa and Batu Bolong
- You appreciate a communal kitchen to save cash on breakfast

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is breakfast included?
No, but there's a fully equipped shared kitchen and a cafe literally 1 minute away.
Can I walk to the beach?
Technically yes (15-20 mins), but the heat and lack of sidewalks make it a sweaty, stressful trek. Rent a scooter.
Is the wifi good for work?
Yes, speeds are generally fast (often cited around 100+ Mbps) and reliable for calls.
Is there car parking?
Absolutely not. The access road is narrow and gridlocked. Scooter parking only.
Is it social?
It has a friendly communal vibe due to the kitchen and pool, but it's not a party hostel.
How bad is the Shortcut traffic?
It's legendary. Expect gridlock at sunset. Being *on* it means you're in the thick of it, but also centrally located.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
Ask for the 'Joglo' room if you want a more unique, Balinese feel rather than the standard concrete box.
- ✨
Use the back roads to get to Berawa if the Shortcut is jammed (ask staff for the map).
- ✨
The washing machine is free or very cheap for guests—buy your own detergent at the minimart down the road.
