Huge, comfortable bed. 10 minutes to the airport. 5 minutes walking to shops, restaurants, and a huge mall. Very clean. Fine for 1 night.

We were on the first floor and the smell in the room was so strong of sewage and chemicals. We've stayed all over the world and are used to things like this, but as soon as we opened our door, the bad smell hit us in the face. We had to open our window, which led to mosquitoes entering the room. I think maybe the 2nd floor doesn't have this problem, and we should've asked to switch rooms. Wifi was also spotty, which is common all throughout Bali. It's down a very narrow alley which can be difficult for larger vehicles to navigate.

The room is small but the bed is really comfortable. The location is perfect if you have a flight to catch the next day because it’s very close to the airport. Lots of food nearby too.

The hotel is located at the end of a small alley and there are dogs roaming and will bark at you which makes it difficult to walk back to the hotel if you’re scared of dogs.

Sparkling clean. Lovely staff. Amazing Wi-Fi!! Great location. VERY comfy bed and powerful shower.

Nothing to do with the property, but a warning to future guests - when it rains the road floods, just a warning to those with nice shoes. It was fun walking through the water though.

We had a good time in Ara Inn, it's a good budget option, close to the beach and to the airport. The rooms are small but ok for short stays. Some wardrobe or at least a shelf would be good.

The guy who checked us in wasn't really nice. He wasn't able to answer our questions, didn't tell us any information and it all felt quite inconvenient and rude. I think that it was partially caused by his insufficient level of English which is not great when you work at the reception of a hotel. He didn't seem to put any effort into helping us or answering the questions and just ignored me... On the other hand, the lady who was there for the rest of our stay was lovely, helpful and always smiling! So I don't want to say that the staff in this hotel are bad as it was just this particular person. The most inconvenient thing were dogs barking the whole night. But I understand that this is something the hotel can't really affect.

This is a hidden gem. Don't judge the accommodation by the outside of this building. I did, and before I set foot in the building I decided it was going to be horrible. My mood changed the instant I opened the door to my room. The room is small, however it had been recently redecorated. The look is very modern and the facilities are up to date and in perfect working condition. I previously said the room is small: probably because it is dominated by the biggest most luxurious bed I have slept in. It really is a rare find.

Nothing to dislike

closeness to beach and great choice of food stalls on beach. Provided mosquito deterents in room. nice Linen, comfortable mattress. cold water available at entrance. safe in room

Very noisy neighbourhood dogs barking a lot at night. outside hotel. building next door was a bit noisy but would finish when building is done I guess.

Don't leave Bali without seeing dance

For the price and the location it was way better than expected. short walk to the beach with reef breaks out the back (surfing) and a short walk and your right in the heart of town. Big double beds, hot water & good shower pressure, air con did the trick, for anyone who visited Bali over a decade ago these items where not always guaranteed, not at that price.

Down a bit of an Alley so at night there are some stray dogs & its dim, this could be off putting especially for females.

Best stay in Indonesia for solo traveler/digital nomad. Huge comfy bed, new bathroom. Everything is clean. Kettle in the room. Huge smart tv. WiFi works perfectly. We aircon. Shared common space with the fridge to use and tables to eat/work.

The alley the hotel is located. Dogs will bark at you each time you pass by and some rats here and there but it’s Bali so it’s everywhere and it’s not hotel’s fault.

great value room, we only stayed for 1 night, but was perfect to get a nights sleep and get to the airport its an 8 min journey and less than $5aud in a grab. it was also really near some nice resturants and a bustling area + beach.

the lighting was a little stark but not a big deal, its down quite a small road thats a little dark, but no big deal.
