The Grey Boutique Inn

The room was roomy and had a fridge and hot water for showers. You can choose between a room with an indoor bathroom and one with an outdoor bathroom. The location is handy, close to Sunset Road, fast-food spots, and souvenir shops such as Krishna and Agung Bali Oleh-Oleh. The alley is quiet for walking, though watch out for online drivers. My main concern was the condition and security of the room. The bed was dusty, the floor felt sticky, and the balcony door's old lock didn't shut firmly. They use traditional keys rather than cards or automatic locks, so I wouldn't leave valuables like a laptop in the room. Housekeeping staff did ask what cleaning was needed. The parking is open-air and small, with space for about three cars and several motorbikes, though housekeeping might be able to help keep an eye on vehicles. The pool was dirty; I'd rather see that space used for more parking.

I slept well here since the area stays quiet at night, and the room was comfortable, spacious, and had plenty of light and outlets. There are lots of restaurants nearby, and the 24-hour reception was useful. The internet was very slow, so working from here could be difficult. Apart from that, I had nothing to complain about. Highly recommended.

The rooms and bathrooms are spacious, and the area is conveniently located. One problem: if the people next door smoke, the smell can drift into your room while you're trying to sleep.

Getting around was easy, with souvenir shops, Burger King and other places close by. The room was clean and large for an affordable price, service was friendly, and there was a nice pool. The air conditioner and refrigerator both worked well. Hot water was on and off, but for the price, it was worth it.
