Nakula Familiar Inn

I arrived in Denpasar and used the pickup service that the hotel provided. The family that runs the hotel is really helpful and nice. The rooms have a good size for the price and the air conditioner is working without a problem. The downside is the smell of the drainage system in the bathroom but besides that you get what you pay for. In the evening you can grab something to eat from the night market which is close.

Great experience for my first time traveling to Bali. Hospitality is very good, I love to talk with owners hours and hours. The drink is on the house, don't worry about asking if you need some coffee or tea.

Family friendly accomodation, clean and kind people. Recommended location too. We had breakfast with them in the morning and was super cured! Terimah kasi!

Super friendly people and a good location. The bed was great, though the “air freshener balls” in the bathroom smelled like paint. The shower only had cold water.

What a great place! I Had to stay in Denpasar for a few days and luckily I found this guest house. Everything was very clean and quiet and the hosting family warm and caring. There are some nice cafe's and lots of street food within 5 minute walk. Highly recommended! Definitely a great choice for this price range. Enjoy Bali !

We didn't enjoy Bali very much in the beginning, mostly because we started our trip in super touristy Ubud - had only we known about Nakula Familiar Inn earlier, our whole Bali experience could have been so much better. Unfortunately we had only one afternoon and night there, because our flights to Sumatra were already booked. |Nakula Familiar Inn is a beautiful place with really nice rooms, ours even had a cozy balcony. The bed was super comfy. The courtyard is beautiful and idyllic with trees and plants and the house temple. |But what made our stay really special was adorable Adi, who owns Nakula Familiar Inn. She is such a sweet woman, who will try to make your stay as good as possible. Even though we stayed such a short time, it felt like staying with a close relative (the nice kind of close relatives). |She replied to my booking request via email almost instantly (which is so rare in Southeast Asia) and made sure we got up in the morning and found our driver. When we said we wanted to go for a massage, she just called a friend to come to our room and the massage was really great and not expensive at all.|The neighborhood is one of the few places we found on Bali, which wasn't crowded with tourists. You can find lots of little shops, warungs and foodcarts nearby. Much more authentic than Ubud for example. |So if you wanna stay with a great host in an area, which is not touristy, choose Nakula Familiar Inn. It would also make a good homebase for day tours around the island. We loved it!

We booked the Nakular Familiar Inn on the advice of other TripAdvisor’s and they were not wrong! They arranged pickup from the airport which was so convenient! The driver was very nice and showed us around town a little. Once we got there the host was super friendly. She sat with us and showed us lots of places to go both in Denpasar and in all of Bali. ||There is food to order here too which was helpful because we were tired from traveling. It was delicious. Breakfast in the morning was traditional and delicious as well. ||The only thing I would mention is that it’s not as close to the airport as I thought. It’s about a 30 minute drive north. We would have stayed here either way but may have gone South that first night if we had realized that.

I was very happy with my short stay here. The location is terrific in that is is a short walk to the flower market and the main market. I also comfortably walked to the bird market, temples and museum. There are a few places to eat close by.||The other reason i liked it was that the host was wonderful. She gave me a map and provided tremendous detail on the best walking routes, places to eat, see, etc. She also applied some magical healing oil on my fingers after i closed them in a car door.||The room was comfortable. Not beautiful, but fine. The private balcony was nice but i opted to have my evening cigar/reading in the courtyard, which is very nice, and chatted with another staff member. The shower was lousy but everything else was great. I recommend it.
