Da Housetel

The only best place in Kuta for staying with the family vibe, and chill in the day, with hostel life and easy-to-get-to-know people from every background! Party? They have live music! They don't stop if u not start to jump and get drunk on their music! 🎉🍻🔥 Just don't miss it!

Big difference in their air-conditioned rooms vs. their non-air conditioned rooms. The price is the same so make sure to book the one with air conditioning. I booked the one without unfortunately so I stayed in a room that didn't have walls right next to the pool so you could hear their conversations clearly, they provide a tiny fan but that does nothing to help with the humid heat, their mosquito net curtains need a good wash with bleach because they had mold on them, and if you are on the top bunk than the curtain is less than a foot from your face so you are breathing in the mold. Spiders live in the corner and cracks of the curtains as well, and the light is right in your face if you are by the light on the top bunk, the light stays on all night, and the wifi is the worst, only in the main hangout areas is it strong. I got diarrhea immediately after having their free dinner which was rice, boiled cabbage, and tofu. I can't tell if it was from the food or from the dirty communal dishes which everyone is required to wash themselves after use. I'm guessing maybe someone didn't properly clean the dishes, or it was the sink water which they used to rinse it. Pool looked green one day and after they put in chemicals it went back to normal color but I didn't want to swim in it after that. Location isn't the best, nothing really in the area. Arrived here from the airport close to midnight, they didn't have my reservation on record even though I booked online hours before arrival. I had to show my confirmation and which bed type I was in. They walked me up to the room where I was staying and pointed to a bed and walked away. The bed they gave me had a sheet in a wad which was clearly used, trash on the bed, and a sock. Clearly the bed wasn't cleaned but I was so tired I didn't care and slept in someone elses body sweat. I stayed one more night and moved to the air-conditioned room to try their free dinner that night and give the hostel a chance since I arrived close to midnight. Although the air conditioned room got cold, the wifi was worse. People there are long-term guests mainly and an older crowd aged 30-65. Pros: they provide free cold and hot water, instant coffee, and tea bags. Bag storage is in view of staff so I knew my bags would be safe. They have hanging racks in their girls bathroom. & nice places to hangout if you wear mosquito repellant (there are lots of mosquitoes). They provide a cheap sim card, you'll save about 100,000 having them do it rather than paying at the airport. Only con is it doesn't come with calling or texting, and it takes forever for them to activate it (hours, mine took a full day).
