Lost Inn Kuta Hostel

Lost Inn Kuta Hostel sits on Jl. Raya Kuta a little north of the town centre, so it is quieter than the hostels on the main strip; most guests rent a scooter from reception for the few minutes' ride into town and to the beaches.

Accommodation is in four dorm rooms, each with six modern capsule beds that have personal lighting, power outlets, a secure locker and a comfortable mattress. For more privacy there is a private bungalow with air conditioning and its own bathroom. Breakfast is included. Shared facilities include a swimming pool, communal lounge areas, a ping-pong table, free Wi-Fi and parking, and the hostel serves coffee and lunches and runs BBQ and movie nights.

The team arranges surf lessons, snorkelling, guided tours, scooter rental and airport transfers, and guests often mention how helpful the staff are with local tips and sunset spots. It suits solo travellers who want a sociable but chilled base at a low price.
