We have stayed there many times, last one was Dec/Jan 2008. It's a really nice place to stay with great staff and always friendly guests. The only criticism I have really heard is that the bathrooms get wet entirely when you shower. Typical Indonesian style bathroom with no shower screen you see. Didn't find this a problem ourselves as last one out simply did a little dance (whilst naked of course) wiping the floor over with the bath mat. The rooms themselves are actually good for a budget hotel with plenty of storage space, TV, A/C,fan.
My only reservation in your son's case would be I don't feel it's a very young person oriented hotel so if they are looking for a social scene with other young people around the pool, maybe not. If they are always out and about and really only plan to sleep there then they would be fine.
It is a great location, honest money changer next door and so may bars and restaurants that you just can't try them all. About 10 minutes walk to Kuta Beach and five minutes the other way to Legian St.
