The Paica

I did the booking with Booking.com, the price was really good and the lowest among all booking website, and on top on that, Booking.com offered free taxi from the airport to the hotel. The hotel offered to pick us up for IDR200,000, before that I already checked O-Jek they are charging only IDR107,000 for pickup.||||The lane into the hotel is hard to miss if you don't keep an eye out for it, it's a small lane that fits only one car. We were riding in an Avanza, he was having a hard time reversing as cars and bikes were parked around the property. Finally he managed to.||||We arrived pretty late about 2.30am, nobody was at the reception except guest. I tried knocking on the staff door but nobody answered so I called the property and someone picked up, he say he will contact his staff to allow us into the room. ||||Our room is sort of like a duplex, downstairs is very spacious toilet. There's no TV in the room. There's a dead bug on the bed but not a big deal. The room is quite spacious but I think the bathroom is much bigger. The bed is comfy has 2 pillows and 2 bolsters. Air-cond is working good. No bottled water provided, we had to ask from the staff and they gave us a cup. ||||Bathroom has a huge cupboard but there is no hanging space for clothes, more like to keep toiletries. Shower foam/Shampoo is provided however I didn't use it because it didn't look too clean from the appearance. Hot shower is good for first day, second day onwards the hot shower only worked for 10 mins and then lukewarm.||||Garbage was not disposed of properly, its littered around the ground where the scooters are parked even though there is a bin there.||||We rented a scooter with the property for IDR60k/24 hours. Very convenient to get around and definetely very good as Bali traffic is congested and packed with cars. ||You have to checked the total charges for the scooter as the staff recorded the scooter based on the date we checked in and not based on when we rented the bike. He put us for 5 days even though we arrived at 2.30am on the first night and only rented the bike at the following day around 3.30pm. After checking with the owner, he agreed that it was only 3 days.||||Staff is friendly, they greet us when they see us. However we didn't know the usage of the kitchen. We do see other guest helping themself or cooking behind the counter but we didn't dare to. Would be great if we were taught or given the info on how to utilize the facilities.||||But overall a good stay, we were mostly out exploring Bali and only get back to the hotel only at night.
