The Best 2-star Hotels in Bali to Save Money on Accommodation
Table of Contents
You are now ready to start your adventure. Bali is a fantastic place to start, although there is no shortage of beautiful hotels in other locations.
You see, there are many 2-star hotels in Bali for rent, offering optimal service, comfortable rooms, and reasonable prices.
I love putting together lists like this, as I feel you should have a good idea of what you want and then scan the market for the best deals.
Let’s take a look at some options. I’ll test some 2-star hotels, see what they’re like, what’s included, and find out if the price is the cheapest it gets.
I warn you though, there are 3-star hotels that pack similar offers and cost less.
1. Zest Hotel Legian
Location: Jl. Werkudara No. 525, Legian 80361 Indonesia
Starting Rate: $19/ night
There’s nothing like the feeling of arriving at your hotel to find a cold drink waiting for you on the counter and a smile from the front desk staff.
That’s why I think Zest Hotel Legian is the perfect place to stay if you’re looking for a casual and relaxed atmosphere.
Located only 8.4km from Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport, this hotel is easily accessible for your arrival.
The hotel offers Zest Queen Rooms and 27 Zest King and Twin Rooms that have 2 single beds and can be combined into 1 large double bed.
Their offer also includes 8 Zest Queen balcony rooms and 9 Zest Twin balcony rooms.
All rooms have air conditioning, a mini bar, and a flat-screen TV with cable channels.
After a long day of relaxing on the gorgeous Legian beach or surfing on the waves, you should take an intimate stroll through the southern part of Legian.
This hotel is first on my list because it’s quite easy to enjoy Legian’s nightlife and has a convenient location.
While there are better 3-star hotels in terms of pricing, the difference is not that important for the majority of travellers.
Even if you paid $9/night less for your accommodation, you would lose them in transportation and time.

Location: Jalan Bumi Ayu 23, Sanur, Denpasar 80228 Indonesia
Starting Rate: $42/ night
If you’re looking for an affordable place to rest your head and close to the beach, look no further than Sanur House in Bali.
This chic boutique hotel with a white exterior and tile roof is just 2 kilometres from Le Mayeur Museum and a 10-minute walk to Werdhapura Beach.
It’s located just off a major street, so you can quickly get around town without worrying about getting lost or stuck in traffic.
The rooms are carefully designed to be spacious and modern, with high ceilings and vibrant colours.
The most important detail is how clean they are, and I admit the staff at Sanur House is doing a great job. Speaking of which, I loved their politeness and availability.
Amenities include free Wi-Fi throughout the building and an outdoor swimming pool with loungers.
The price is definitely higher than some other entries in this list, but you are paying for the location and the excellent staff.
For eating, I recommend their outdoor casual restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily. If you are not happy, you can check my list below to see what suits your culinary tastes.
