Zen Inn

We dropped into the Zen for lunch while we waited for our taxi. The restaurant is really clean, the staff are very friendly and helpful. Food is great value and I found it to be good quality. It's a busy street so if you are staying there it would be noisy. It's right next to the large ferry port. For convenience, friendly staff and close to everything else in town it's good value.

The worst experience ever. They accept late check in only if you take a taxi that they offer. So we tried to make a reservation through their taxi, but their communication was very slow and not smooth. We had only one day left before our departure date, and could not receive response from them. so we found our own taxi. As a result, they didn't let us check in, and we had to find other hotel, and couldn't get a refund. Very irresponsible. Seriously the worst experience ever !

Overpriced. Bad quality. Worst breakfast we had in Bali. Two slice bread with fried eggs (eggs weren’t even well done) and two slices of bread with scrambled eggs. We were the only customers and we were waiting more than 30 min. The only good thing was the service.

The room was OK for what you pay. Nice size with a comfortable bed. The location is excellent for catching one of the ferries to lombok or gili's.

We booked a room at Zen Inn for its location near the pier and based on the nice reviews. I’m not sure why they picked the name « Zen », nor whether the reviews are authentic… The rooms were extremely noisy. I barely slept 3 hours because I could hear everything going on in the nearby streets (motorbikes, dogs, harbor sirens, boat sirens, conversations in the buildings…). The doors and windows aren’t isolating. Lots of light was coming from the corridor from around the door, and the windows didn’t close properly (when I told the manager she asked why… why indeed?). One of the window also didn’t have a curtain. We had to use a towel. The room itself is very old and definitely needs works. The walls are damaged and there seems to be a humidity infiltration problem.

The same quality and uniqueness as many years ago. Built by my friend, Mike. Later run by my friend, Liam (deceased). Now an Aussie is keeping up the tradition. They've always had the best staff and still do. 5 STARS!!

Excellent room with everything we needed and more. Lovely little private outdoor area. Very clean and very friendly accommodation. Meals were also fresh and tasty. Very close to pier for boat transfers and the beach. |Lala the host is amazing, she is so kind, honest and helpful. |Would definitely stay here again.

Simple but very cosy room. Rooms have AC, little private garden, tv with DVDs and important the bed has the Mosquito Net. Staff very friendly and helpful, I felt really welcomed. Location is perfect to catch the ferry next day or day before to/from Gilis - Lombok - Nusa Penida etc. Really fair price for what you get, breakfast included. Honestly you cannot ask more than that. I really enjoyed my stay there even if it was only for one night.
