Celagi Inn

Good location from the ferry port. Breakfast was good and staff were friendly.

It was good for a short stay.

The location was perfect for us catching a ferry the next day to Gilli T. The room was spacious and clean. Beds super comfy. The large balcony was lovely to sit at and listen to nature. The staff were friendly. They spoke little English but they tried hard to communicate with us. Breakfast was tasty too.

Loved staying at Celagi inn. The rooms are comfortable, clean and cool so I didn’t have any trouble with no aircon. Breakfast is good and served on the top floor with a great view, and the staff are exceptionally kind and welcoming.

I stayed the night here to take the ferry to Lombok. It was close to the ferry terminal and the staff were all very nice. The breakfast was tasty and large by comparison to other places. I'd had a very long day of hiking, so the comfortable bed was welcome and the room was a good size. There were some nice views from the terrace.

The price was quite low, so I wasn't expecting luxury. However, it was quite different to the pictures. The furniture in the room was old and tired. The desk was damaged, some of the bedside lights didn't work, there was no power point near the bed for my phone. The shower didn't run very well. There were weird bugs. The key to the door and to the balcony were old and difficult to use. There was no aircon. It felt a bit unsafe accessing the place via an alley. The staff were friendly but hard to find. The desk was never manned. It was quite basic which I should have expected. It was a bit of a shock from the previous place I'd stayed in Ubud which was less than ten dollars more expensive but quite luxurious. That place was down an alley too but I didn't think twice about it. I think the photos of the Celagi gave a different impression to what it was really like and I felt disappointed. I think if I hadn't arrived so late I probably would have gone somewhere else to have a nicer night my last night in Bali but I was too tired and had some errands to run. I think my feelings about the hotel were affected by my feelings about Padang Bai in general. Of all the places in Bali I visited I liked it the least. There's a lot of people touting for business during the day, more than in other places, to the point I felt quite harassed. You must be very careful who you talk to, especially if you've booked something as people will say anything. Then at night it shuts down early and there's no places like the circle k or an apotek open. Only in Padang Bai did I have people actually, blatantly changing prices on me when I went to find dinner or buy a beer. I understand that people need to make money but I felt in this town, more than any other they are out to get you as a tourist, to a level that felt mean and unpleasant, which wasn't my experience elsewhere.
