Awesome surprise location for a two-star hostel! Centrally located on Batu Bolong street, at a fair price.
Let’s start with the welcome! With Ini Vie Hospitality, I’m not surprised to find the place so well maintained, from activities like the evening movie on the big screen to the volleyball match in the pool. The welcome is very good for my first experience in a hostel in Bali, the design doesn’t take your breath away when I arrived, but then I saw it and I knew I wasn’t going to be disappointed by my room!
No dormitory for me, no shared bathroom, I need my privacy. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the room’s equipment: filtered water, kettle, alcohol available for a fee, TV with Netflix, hairdryer… However, forget about the free cuttelery if you haven’t consumed anything, they don’t give you any.
The decor is very peaceful, all in orange tones! The concierge is reactive, and comes by to ask if you need anything around 8:30 pm, which in itself is very useful when you need water. On the other hand, the bathroom was a big disappointment, with a clogged shower. Bugs are normal. We’re in a hot, humid country.
I didn’t like the fact that I was on the rice floor, with little guys squatting on my terrace. It was soon sorted out. Nobody invades my personal space.
I’ll go back if I can’t find any other place, not because I didn’t like it, because it was a good experience, because I’m not much of a hostel person !
