This place is affordable. The room is clean and the price is reasonable. If you come from the city center of gudnia, its not easy to get there on foot as it takes around 3 km to walk. Behind the hotel, there is a parking lot. Free for hotel guests.

The location is quite close to several interesting places such as pinang peranakan mansion and fort cornwallis. There are several food stalls nearby this hotel if you want breakfast or lunch too. This hotel is excellent and offers good value for the money. The staff is also friendly and helpful.

I spent three days there and had a great time. Every penny we spend is well worth it.

The room was quite small and the soundproofing wasnt great, but for what i paid 120 rm per night for one queen bed, it was decent value, and ill stay here again. The location is excellent, there are many good restaurants nearby (less than 6 ringgit uber ride away).

We had a wonderful stay here. Id like to express my gratitude to the lady boss for her helpful information on local attractions and for providing us with stadia as my mother was inconvenienced. The staff was friendly and helpful.

The staff is amazing, friendly, helpful and genuinely good people. We were there for 4 nights and found it to be a good amount of time. Dont expect much, but in Georgetown this is probably one of the best options you can find at utmost affordability. Still the value you get for your money as in all of malaysia is sadly mediocre.

The guesthouse offers exceptional comfort at a reasonable price point. The room itself was impeccably clean and wellmaintained, with surprisingly spacious bathrooms and air conditioning that worked well. I had countless enjoyable experiences thanks to the host and staffs friendliness, which made my stay truly enjoyable. Additionally, the guest houses location is conveniently close to all of canggus top attractions. Without limiting its appeal, i would highly recommend this guest house to anyone seeking accommodation in bali for both short and long stays.

Very clean and comfortable. The service was great and always had great suggestions! Very quiet at night. Will stay again.

This is a very simple hotel. The staff are very helpful, the room was clear, nice cotton bedding, albeit tattered in some places, and towels. No problem and overall good value. Red garden is worth i visit for its good food and entertainment.

My girlfriend and i stayed there for three days. We reserved a room without windows. The staff is fantastic! Particularly the young chinese woman. She is always cheerful and very helpful! The cleaning service is excellent! Excellent hotel at incredibly affordable prices!.

This place has recently been renovated and is spotless. The location is right across the street from a convenience store and laundry service. Behind it are hypermart mydin, 7eleven, and i can reach the local wet market. There is thai spa and food court in hong yuan. Strong wifi with smart security room lock system.

The location is good, the staff is friendly.

4.6/51 May 2023

This place is very nice. It is conveniently located near red garden and love lane. There are many delicious food options around this place. The staff is also very friendly. Clean and comfortable rooms are also provided. A laundry facility is nearby. However, the only issue is that the location is close to the street, which can be noisy in some rooms.

4.6/521 Feb 2023

The hotel is good. Our room and bathroom were both clean. The staff was very kind. However, the only issue we encountered was that there was no leg space around the toilet. This is probably not the case in all bathrooms, but it might be a good idea to check and ask if you are taller than 1.65 m.

I would strongly recommend this villa! Among the best villas ive ever stayed at, its in a very handy location, and the host is quite friendly. The wifi was dependable and quick, which was pleasant for those who needed to stay connected. It couldnt have been more convenient because it was close to everything we wanted to see. Not only was the property wellfurnished, but it had also been tastefully decorated, creating cosy and inviting balinese atmosphere. We truly felt as though we had everything you needed right at our fingertips.
