I stayed here previously, really liked it and recommended it to friends and family: comfortable, quirky, fantastic location etc. On this visit, I was disappointed and can see why reviews are so divergent. I had room 7 this time - classified as 'superior' - the lowest category. These rooms really should be classified 'budget' and the 'deluxe' rooms classified as... More

We stayed at La Taverna for 3 nights and really enjoyed it. The location is excellent, right on the beach, and the staff very friendly and willing to help. Our room was a family deluxe (two large interconnecting rooms) overlooking the gardens. It was comfortable (beds especially) and equipped with everything you needed, except for TV. The staff said those... More

We stayed in La taverna for 3 nights in January and had booked a family room (two bedrooms). We arrived in the middle of the night to a hotel room that had no mosquito nets, the rooms were small and in the main bedroom there was nowhere to sit down except for the bed. The bathroom was situated between the... More

This is a great hotel and an old stalwalt of the Bali scene. A very different experience from most of the resort type hotels along the beach and to most this will be obvious. Rooms have character, the restaurant a beachfront are great and the staff very friendly and helpful. If you want to experience a bit of Bali history,... More

We stayed there for 2 nights and for 3 we have decided to move to other hotel. The room we had was claustrophobic, small and dark. Needs renovation. First night we needed to call the staff twice because we could not close the door for the night. The restaurant is good but quite expensive, the hotel beach is nice and... More

I chose this hotel because it was one of the top picks from Lonely Planet. It's nice, but as I walked along the boardwalk, I saw nicer looking places. Good location, clean and nice staff. Food is good. Downside..which seems to be a trend is that their doing renovations, so there's a ton of hammering going on all day. So...if... More

We stayed at La Taverna for three nights. We were three and had two rooms. La Taverna is nicely located on the beach and the boardwalk. The bed linens were sparkling clean and changed daily, as requested by guests. The "white" towels were gray and need replacing. Both rooms smelled musty and there was mould visible on the walls and... More

We live in Bali and I always tell people to stay here first to relax after the long flight and ease into the slower pace of Bali. Cute rooms, ask for a room in the white buildings which have large private terraces/ porches. More

I travelled with my husband and two kids. We had a family room, which consisted of two rooms separated by the bathroom. There was a large step in the kids bedroom, which might be a problem if you had small kids. There was also a large balcony which was great. The breakfasts were fantastic, by the pool overlooking the beach.... More
