I found this in Lonely Planet, which should have been a warning. Relatively cheap at $8 for a basic setup but it was a dive, which certainly is an any port in a storm sort of place.
Very poor quality. Sheets haven't been changed in I don't know how long. Dark dank rooms that all face an enclosed small courtyard that encourages groups to hang out and make noise. Indonesians have no concept of how much their noise impinges on you so this was a major problem until well after midnight when I got up and asked them to be more respectful.
Though the toilet looked clean, it reeked of urine, which no amount of water could remove and as the toilet door wouldn't close, the smell permeated the room. This was marginally helped by the barely working fan.
The only saving grace was that the staff were fantastic people, there is nothing that I could fault them on, so I gave it two stars instead of one.
