Griya Ayu Inn

It was okay, but the room was HOT. The AC was preset to Fan mode, so I couldn’t adjust the temperature, and I couldn’t sleep.

I’ve stayed here before and would come back. There are a few small issues, but it’s still very good value for the money.

The clean garden and pool were a nice surprise, and there’s a shared fridge guests can use. Our bed was comfortable, the water was hot, and the staff were friendly. They even let my toddler feed their fish, which I think was one of her trip highlights 😅 We’d already messaged ahead, but when we arrived at 3am the staff seemed surprised to see us. The aircon in our room wasn’t working. I didn’t want to make a fuss in the middle of the night, so we moved rooms the next day and that one was perfectly fine. It’s near restaurants and not too far from the beach, though with a toddler and all our beach gear the walk felt longer. There’s no restaurant on site, and the room could use a paint job, but it was clean, which mattered most to me. Great value, and I’d stay again.

It’s cheap and worth the price, and the place was neat and clean. The bathroom was the weak point: it’s old-fashioned, the shower didn’t work, and the bathtub didn’t work either. The shared balcony was fine, but the AC wasn’t very effective.
