Taman Mekar Beach Inn 2

The street next to the place isn't the nicest, though getting around on a bike is no problem. The room itself was comfortable and a good size for two, with its own bathroom. The staff were super nice and always ready to help. I'd recommend it for budget travelers.

It's a cheap but decent hotel, and the area is pretty quiet. The location is great for beach life, though not so much for seeing the rest of Bali, like the temples you see in Instagram photos.

The rooms are large and have a verandah, and the WiFi is really fast. Shops are about two minutes away, the beach is an eight-minute walk, and Statbucks is six minutes away. The only downside is there's no hot water. The price is very reasonable.

For a shortish stay, it's excellent value at well under $20 USD a night. The location is very good, just off Poppies Lane and close enough to walk over when needed. The room was an adequate size, the bathroom was clean, and the AC and WiFi worked well enough. The place could use an update, but Putu, the manager, was a lovely man who worked extremely hard. Cleaning and washing were just part of what he handled. He deserves a lot of credit. Whenever I had a request, I knew he'd try to help, and all the staff were eager to assist, especially Putu.
