Stephen I have just returned home from my Indonesia holiday including 8 days in Bali and stayed for 5 nights in Balisandy Cottages in Kuta. I could say the room rate for this hotel meet my pocket for such 5 nights.
I travel alone but meet other people in Bali. The staff were friendly at this small hotel. Eager to spend time just to talk with foreigner. I personally recommend Balisandy for anybody who wants to spend a few dollars but get the equal services.
