in Kuta,easy to do trips to lombok etc as a lot of travelers stay in this area so trips are easily booked.
Budget accomodation is getting a bit hard to find with lots of places raising the price of rooms.
Secret Garden inn was a good cheapish hotel but they keep putting up the room rate due to its popularity so may out price there selves.
Massa Inn is a good choice and La walon a bit better.
Bed Bug secret. If you want real budget bypass anywhere that have their beds and matresses out in the sun,other than profesional fumigation with a 24 hour no go period the sun is the only way to kill bed bugs temporerily.
So if a place has some beds out in the sun they have bed bugs not damp beds and dont want to lose room s for a day or pay for exterminator.
This is not a common problem with most places but was told most bed bugs were brought in from long stay visitors Bali north and Lombok.
