Hotel Review: Tir Na Nog Gili Trawangan

Hotel Review: Welcome Inn Gili Trawangan

I stayed here in early Jun 2014 for my fourth visit to Gili Trawangan.

Room & Facility: 7/10

The room is alright. For the price, I could have gotten a lttle bit better. I got a two single bed bedroom with a very very basic bathroom. Well, there is a safety deposit box to be used, but it's not something that I need when I am in Gili, that's why I don't use it. The cleanliness of the room is probably only 7/10. Another facility includes a bar that is very crowded and alive at night right in front of the hotel, as a part of the hotel, Tir Na Nog Bar.

Value for Money: 7/10

I was charged about IDR 800.000. Like I said, I could have got a little bit better of facility, especially for the room.

Location: 9/10

If you want a location that is right in the middle of the party, this is it. At night, there are parties going on just outside the hotel. We thought it's gonna be very noisy at night when we try to sleep, but that's not the case. Somehow, the noise didn't get to our room despite the fact that our room is the first room and the closest to the gate to the bar outside.

Staff: 9/10

Staff was really great. We asked for a late checkout. Initially, the staff hesitated because they were fully booked the next day. However, we were given 1 hour late checkout. The staff also helped us organize a glass bottom boat rental for our snorkeling trip to the three gili islans (Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno, and Gili Air).

Pretty much I would say that there could be other great hotels to stay in Gili Trawangan that could offer better quality with the same price. Would I come back to this hotel to stay? Yes, but only at a discounted price. :)

Hotel Review: Welcome Inn Gili Trawangan

Hotel Review: Welcome Inn Gili Trawangan

I recently stayed at Welcome Inn in Gili Trawangan from December 27-29, 2013...

It's a basic accommodation with only 4 rooms with its own bathroom. The limited number of rooms makes Welcome Inn such a basic accommodation.

Room & Facility: 7/10

It is just a basic accommodation, so don't expect any great facilities. Their facility only includes bedroom with 2 beds, some towels, shower, a balcony, an air conditioner (AC), and a cupboard. Room is quite clean but could be a bit cleaner. If you are only looking for basic place to stay overnight with cheap price, then this could be for you.

Value for Money: 8/10

Well, since it's a basic place to stay, I was charged about IDR 600.000 during the high/peak season. I think they charge about 50% of the price I paid when it's a low season.

Location: 9/10

Welcome Inn is quite well located in the island of Gili Trawangan. It'e only one block from the main road. It's also close to the main strip of Gili Trawangan where activities take place. However, it's quite close to a local market that sometimes I feel uncomfortable walking back to the hotel because I had to go through a "dirty" part of the island.

Staff: 8/10

Staff is quite helpful. During my stay, I only saw one lady who attend to all our needs including making us breakfast and cleaning up our room.

In conclusion, I would recommend Welcome Inn to you who are looking for basic accommodation on the island and don't want to walk too far into the island.

Hotel Review: The Beach House Resort Gili Trawangan

What do I have to say about my experience at this hotel?
I stayed with 5 other friends in a two bedroom villa at this resort.

Villa Quality: 9/10
I had the best time here at Gili Trawangan including my time enjoying the villa. The villa had one small private swimming pool that is pretty clean. The villa also has half-open bathrooms that feel very close to nature.

Price: 8.5/10
The two bedroom villa that I stayed in was priced at Rp 2.500.000 per night and I think it's a pretty acceptable price for the quality of my stay.

Quality of Stay: 9.5/10
I had the best time staying at this hotel and given that the island itself is like a heaven to me.

Location: 10/10
The Beach House Resort Gili Trawangan is located at the heart of the island so it's a very strategic hotel where the crowds, cafes, bars, and restaurants are located.
One strong point of this hotel is LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION

Breakfast: 9/10
What can surpass the feeling of having breakfast in the morning by the beach with some good breakfast meals on the island?

Hotel Staff: 10/10
The hotel staffs are generally helpful and informative. You can ask a lot of information about the island including where the best snorkeling spot is, where to rent a bike, where can I party at night, etc....


However, on one negative note (and probably it's pretty common for all the hotels in this island), the water is pretty salty and when we needed to tak a shower, the hotel ran out of water and we needed to wait for them to "refill their water tank"......

Overall: 9.5/10
Overall, I had a great great stay here at the resort and would come back again to stay at this resort when I visit Gili Trawangan again. Would I recommend this hotel to everyone? Definitely YES.
