  Get what you pay for

  23 Jul 2019

  I was wary of this place as soon as I booked, as I contacted them several times asking if they could organise an airport pickup, and making sure I could check in late, but after 5 emails - 0 responses. A friend that lives in Bali organised a pickup for me, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that not only was there a nice friendly staff member there when I arrived, but I actually had a booking (never got a confirmation).I booked here for the location, but left the next day even though I had booked (and paid on arrival) for longer.As soon as I walked in the room I was blasted with the stench of mould and mildew, there was the sound of water running through my room the whole time. The bed was a noisy mushy spring thing with pillows a foot thick with the consistency of bricks, the bottom sheet was stained and there was no other sheet to protect me from the dodgy doona. Oh, and the air con seemed to have two settings - off, or ice. I had it as high as it could go, and found myself sleeping in Antarctica, so turned it off to add another layer of sweat to the already dank mattress.Only reason it got the 2nd star was the location, and the hot girl swimming in the pool.Glad to be out of there.

  For a Budget Traveller

  14 Jan 2019

  We stayed at Kubu hotel last Jan 9-11, 2019 and I can say it is worth it as a budget traveler. The place is quiet being located inside the poppies street having not so much guest in it but the staff are very accommodating and their facilities offer comfortable stay for every guest thought they offer the same breakfast everyday of a toasted bread with egg or yam and a choice of coffee or tea. Thanks Kubu for making our stay comfortable with.

  Nice staff, filthy room

  26 Sept 2018

  The hotel itself looked great from the outside. The staff were equally helpful. The downside though was our room. We had the standard room and it was filthy! It also felt unsecured as our door leading to our balcony was broken.Stuff from the bathroom was also broken as well as the windows. Bad stay.

  The most horrible experiences

  26 Sept 2018

  I and my friend booked the hotel for 12 nights and I regret my decision, as I did it each day there during the stay. In 12 nights we had to change into 4 rooms because of the issues the room had. Room no 104 second night and bed was full of bed bugs. Room no 108 second night and the air con never worked. Room no 109 one night and it was bed bugs again. Room no 107 and once again problems with aircon. Finally the room 280 for last three nights but it was the time where I and my friend gave up on complains. The staff said they can't do anything and the owner never was ready to listen. Horrible experience if I couldn't let it not trouble my holidays. The hotel management needs to know, guest must be given care and thought of if they want us back ever again. I would give negative rankings if allowed.

  Not what it says to be.

  02 Aug 2018

  Just vacated the place.They say a picture paints a thousand words.Firstly what you see with the Two beds by the pool that's all it is. With a multi roomed Hotel and Hostel Two sun loungers. The third one was broke. That is the only area the Sun goes on and that would be for a short while.The breakfast was embarrassing to say the least.The rooms are very very small,No fridge in room to keep anything cold. The TV is only in Indo.There is no top sheet just cover (Not sure how often that's cleaned)The drainage in the Bathroom needs sorting out.This is a classic one..In the afternoon I asked for a cup of Hot Water, were the lad said it wasn't allowed as Management didn't approve. Hot Water. !!!!!And to top it of, I had to ask people outside the room at 11pm then at 2pm if they wouldn't mind keeping the noise down, very loud and bottles being broken.Recommend the Hotel has more mature night security, instead of Two young (and I mean) lads to control people who had a drink.Overall would not recommend staying there when there are places close by with better deals.
