Gana Inn Legian

If you're considering this place, I'd skip it and spend a few more dollars a night somewhere else. There's a reason it's the cheapest option you can find. The rooms have so much mold and dirt that I worried the air could make someone sick. I kept waking up with a blocked nose and a tickly throat. I even bought cleaning supplies because I thought I might have to clean the room myself in case someone got ill. The bathroom smelled of urine so strongly you could smell it from the bed. There were obvious mold patches all over the walls. The one wall in my attached photo was typical of the rest. I spent 15 minutes checking the bed for bugs because the dirt made it hard to tell if the flecks were bugs. It didn't look like the sheets had been cleaned or changed between guests. The walls were painted white or cream, but black in the areas people touch as they move around. The TV was broken, which seemed to sum up the state of the place. There was only one accessible power outlet in the room, so good luck if there are two or more of you. The location is actually good, with lots of bars and restaurants nearby and the beach a short walk away.

I paid IDR 180.000 and regretted booking this place. It smelled awful, and the hotel was the dirtiest, most disgusting one I’ve ever stayed in. There are plenty of cheaper, cleaner hotels around. This place shouldn’t be open.

The room was clean and the service was okay. Legian Street is right nearby, with Sky Garden and lots of restaurants around, so you can just head out and enjoy Bali’s nightlife. For a backpacker, it’s a decent option for what you pay.

Cheap, clean, and the Wi-Fi worked for me. I’d pick a superior room. The location is great, just a minute from restaurants, bars, and stores near the main street. It’s good for a budget stay, and I’d come back.
