Sunset Road is a large thoroughfare running from Kuta to Seminyak in Southern Bali. In recent years, it has become the best place to find cheap, budget hotels with amazing value.
It is a very strategic and convenient location to explore Bali. The traffic is smoother than elsewhere and it is only 10-15 minutes away from the airport. From there, you can also easily go to Denpasar, Kuta, Seminyak, Sanur or even Ubud (through Jalan ByPass Ngurah Rai).
Sleeping in Sunset Road is less expensive than elsewhere but there is one catch: You do not have a direct access to the beach by foot. Beaches are about 2 kilometers away and the shopping street of Jalan Legian is 1 kilometer away. Since there are not sidewalks in Bali, it is better to use either a taxi or your own motorbike. Alternatively, you can also take the Kura Kura shuttle bus or download a transportation app like Uber/Grab/Gojek.
For eating, Sunset Road is close to Jalan Dewi Street and Jalan Nakula (5 minutes away). Those streets are perfect to get cheap international and Indonesian food, for instance in Gourmet Café or Warung Pepe.
Two of the best nightclubs in Bali are near Sunset Road: Pyramid and Jenja. Spa-lovers may also want to try the spas Delta and Star Bugar. Beware, they are reserved for male.
If you don't mind being a bit further from the action, you can expect to save up to 50% compared to the price of hotels on Jalan Legian or Jalan Pantai Kuta.
Below are my recommendations for the 7 best-value hotels on Jalan Sunset Road. All of them have a rating of at least 7/10 or higher on Agoda.
Previously a 5-star hotel under the brand Best Western Premier Sunset Road, it is one of the best options in the area. They have a free shuttle to Kuta Beach, a nice rooftop pool and comfortable beds.
Cheapest price found:
50$ net for one night on Agoda - Ramada Bali Sunset Road
Previously managed by Swiss-Bel Group, this 200-room property is close from Jalan Kunti where many cheap quality restaurants can be found. As it is located at the end of Sunset Road, it is actually walking distance from Seminyak center (10 minutes). For a budget hotel, it has a rather luxurious feel thanks to the large lobby and the garden in the pool area.
Cheapest price found:
23$ per night on Agoda - Sense Sunset Hotel Seminyak
This brand new resort is only 10 minutes from the airport and just across from Bali Galeria Mall. It features a huge lagoon-shaped swimming pool within a tropical garden.
Cheapest price found:
70$ net for one night on Agoda - Golden Tulip Jineng Hotel Sunset Road
Favehotel is one of the best budget hotel chains in Indonesia. They have great properties in Jakarta where I've slept countless times. The Favehotel Sunset Seminyak is very close from the famous eating street Jalan Oberoi and from the shopping center "Sunset Point" (with a Burger King, Domino's Pizza, etc). It is cheap, less than 30$ per night, and for this price you have a swimming pool, a powerful shower, a flat screen TV and a 5-star hotel quality bedding.
Cheapest price found:
22$ net per night on Agoda - Favehotel Sunset Seminyak
I used to go to this hotel quite often when I was living in Bali because it has a nice rooftop swimming pool. It is a quality property, managed by the same group behind Century Park Hotel in Jakarta. You can walk to Krishna Bali from there.
Cheapest price found:
34$ net per night on Agoda - Atanya Hotel Sunset Road
This hotel is close from Carrefour and Siloam Hospital. It is at the crossroads of Jalan Imam Bonjol (to Denpasar) and Jalan Raya Kuta (to Kuta beach).
Cheapest price found:
30$ net for on night on Agoda - Swiss-Bel Hotel Rainforest
Avilla Group has a selection of budget hotels around Kuta/Denpasar. Berry Biz is one of their latest properties. It is targeting businessmen or travelers who just need to sleep near the airport before or after a flight. No swimming pool but clean and modern rooms. Each of them has an inspirational quote from an entrepreneur written on the wall.
Cheapest price found:
28$ net per night on Agoda - Berry Biz Sunset Road Hotel Bali
This hotel is not as good as the ones listed above, but it is still decent and within 10 minutes from the airport. Due to the intense competition in the area, they've decreased their prices as low as 21$ for a Deluxe Room with Pool View.
Cheapest price found:
21$ per night on Agoda - Adhi Jaya Hotel
Note:
I searched for the price of these hotels on Agoda. You can compare their rates with those of Booking.com or Expedia on the hotel comparator HotelsCombined.
