Budget Accommodation at Poppies Lanes Bali

Kuta -  Bali offers many ranges of accommodations mostly in the budget and mid-range markets. Private villas and five stars hotels are few as Kuta just lacks the space for expansive properties. There are a lot of budget accommodations on Poppies lanes, you can often find nicer places on the small lanes between Poppies I and II too.

For weekly and monthly stay try asking the staff for a discount. Among budget travelers this place is like a haven, it has no international standard services among various small hotels at the area, but it offers the homy balinese atmosphere.
