Deva Bali Apartment

For the price, it’s good value, and the area is a nice place to stay. The rooms are roomy and quiet, and I found mine pretty clean, though there’s room to do better. The staff are friendly, and you can rent a bike from them. I’d suggest asking to see the room first so you can choose one you like. You can’t expect too much at this price.

The room turned out to be spotless, with clean pillows, sheets, blankets, and bathroom, and the toilet worked perfectly. The staff were kind and friendly, too. I stayed two nights, and was surprised by how good it was after seeing so many terrible Google reviews and photos during the trip. Finding the place was easy. Nobody was at reception when I arrived, maybe they were getting other guests checked in, but after I rang twice the receptionist came quickly and was very helpful. For this price, I’d never find a place like it back home. I’d put it on my list for next time.

I booked five nights but was gone in under 12 hours, and found another hotel for the same price that was 100X better in every way. I travel on a budget a lot, and this is the first place I’ve left for my health. The location is bad as well. The online photos don’t show reality: the rooms smell awful, there was no running water, and they didn’t provide toilet paper or drinking water. There were huge water stains and a leak in the ceiling, with water dripping right onto the bed. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

I used to stay here plenty of times before COVID and the new renovation. Back then the rooms were much cleaner, and the kitchen actually worked. You’d think the renovation would’ve improved things, but it didn’t. This is very affordable, but not if your health is at risk, so I highly don’t recommend it. My first night, I found the room extremely dirty. The old pillows were moldy, and when I asked for replacements, they gave me the same ones with just two clean covers. The sheets were stained, and I can only imagine what the mattress was like. I had bites all over for days. Since I’d already paid, I left my belongings there and had to sleep at a friend’s place. The towels were worn out and barely absorbed water. There was also a medium-sized spider in the bathroom and an adult cockroach in the room. I took pictures of everything.
