The 37-room mid-range Adi Dharma Cottages has gorgeously landscaped grounds and traditional Balinese architecture throughout -- all within a that’s a 10-minute walk from Kuta's restaurants, the beach, attractions, and bars. Large, simple rooms with Balinese accents have air-conditioning and free WI-Fi, and all feature balconies or terraces with seating (some with lovely garden and/or pool views). Exterior and traffic noise can be an issue, though, and some rooms show wear and tear. The outdoor pool with a kids area is a major plus here, as is the free, expansive breakfast.

Guests looking to stay adjacent to the beach may want to try the Maharani Beach Hotel, though rates can be a bit higher and features like Wi-Fi are not free.
