Nuansa Penida Hostel

The hostel is beautiful and clean. Good for those who wants to chill at the pool and spending more time in the hostel. Every night they organize an event (some are paid others aren't), unfortunately I didn't have the chance to attend. It's more a chill hostel than a party hostel, though. The massage they offer is just perfect! It is located in a calm street parallel to the busy area. To get closer to the center it is possible to walk but at night the way to reach the busy area crossing the monkey forest gets very dark.

A pleasant stay all throughout. Surprised that we got welcome drinks upon checking in, thought we were staying in a resort lol. The dorm rooms were also very spacious, as well as the bathrooms. Again, something rare when it comes to hostels. Guests are also provided with huge lockers. Tours and transfers to the port are easily booked at the front desk, and scooters can be rented for a very cheap rate. the pool area is perfect for relaxing after a long day. The staff were amazing. They were very friendly and helpful. It's not a beachfront hostel, but the beach can easily be reached by scooter or by foot ( about a 30 minute walk). Great social atmosphere, it's easy to make friends. This is definitely the place to stay for backpackers in Nusa, which would explain why it's often fully booked.
