Kuta Travel Forum

Hi there!

Will be in Kuta this summer, and I can't quite make up my mind, hope someone can help me. Last summer I stayed in Wina hotel, which was excellent price/value. They increased their prices, a bit, but as we're on a pretty tight budget this year, we're considering going to Bakungsari hotel. It's about 5 euros cheaper a night, but I'm wondering if it's a big bother getting to Kuta beach from this hotel, and how the previous experiences in the hotel are? Basically, is it worth saving the 5 euros a night, or should I stick to Wina?

Thanks!

It is about a 15 minute walk to the beach from the hotel, interesting if you like to say hello with all of the street traders and other locals who sit around on the way.
(they will all probably ask where you are going?)Not too difficult a walk, and you can always go the other way and walk along towards Kartika plaza past the new shopping center. The rooms are cheap and cheerful, and the staff very helpful. I suppose it depends on what youwant for your money. I believe that the hotel has also recently increased prices (as most on Bali should do) this is the first increase since 2001.

i think bakung sari hotel is even less than 15 minutes walking to the beach. all you need is just taking some shortcut to get to jl. bakung sari then it's already very close to the beach near kuta square.
the hotel is not on a big street. but since people there are very friendly, don't hestitate to ask your way.
the hotel also next to the famous cheap local food: warung nikmat. you should try eat there.

I suppose it depends on how fast you walk, for me it takes 15 minutes, maybe because my legs are getting old. My house is just around the corner from the Hotel and i walk it every day when i am in Bali.
