Amed Cafe & Hotel Kebun Wayan, Karangasem

Solid place to stay by the beach in Amed. Loved that there was an outside patio that was private and furnished. Wish the AC was stronger. Otherwise, it was a lovely placeto stay (amount of windows are awesome in a corner unit)

The breakfast was great and the staff are exceedingly friendly - though you get the impression they're always looking for an in to sell you something. I had booked a fan room and arrived to learn it didn't have hot water. Fortunately a friend had decided to join me so we upgraded to a room double the cost. We saw the fan room and a lower cost A/C room and they smelled musty. Our room was clean, though the towels were dingy grey. The biggest "feature" of this room is that it had frosted glass doors between the room and the outside as well as between the room and the bathroom. What's more, there was a panel of frosted glass between the bathroom and the outside!! My friend happened to be of the opposite gender so it was interesting - but not as uncomfortable as the feeling that somebody from the outside could be looking in when you shower at night and you'd never know. I was happy when I saw the shower curtain that would block the direct view so I pulled it across only to find out it was sheer! A previous reviewer had mentioned a "design flaw" with the glass in the bathroom; I don't see how this could have been anything but intentional. Also, we had a large window overlooking the street and when we looked out, men offering us transport pointed to their cars. Needless to say we kept the curtains closed, sadly blocking the beautiful light.

Great place to stay if you want to dive or snorkle. Good was good too. The town isn't very walkable, no sidewalk, walked the beach, that was nice. Easy transport to the Gili Islands!!

Old and damp, would not go back, left a day early, the Hotel is empty, was not possible to get a breakfast, to compensate the served it at night, other times dry bread and water

Average for price. Rooms, bathroom clean but old. No free water and only soap for toiletries. Towels worn and grey. Location OK but will stay elsewhere next time. Had one very ordinary meal in restaurant. Beer warm. Wi Fi frustrating. Staff friendly.
