Pipes Hostel

Pipes Hostel is a budget hostel on Jl. Raya Kuta at the northern edge of town, popular with solo travellers, surfers and digital nomads. It scores 9.3 from more than 1,000 Hostelworld reviews and 4.7 on Google, with recent stays in autumn 2026 praising the staff and community feel.

Accommodation is mainly mixed dorms plus some private rooms. Shared facilities include an outdoor pool in a leafy garden, a concrete skate bowl, a café and bar, free breakfast, free Wi-Fi, luggage storage and a tour desk that can arrange surf trips and transport.

It is about a five-minute scooter ride into the centre and the beach, so renting a bike is worthwhile. Book through Hostelworld or Booking.com; dorms fill quickly in July and August.
