Stayed here for a few nights before/after a diving safari, in one of the cheap bungalows. The bathroom was very basic but acceptable. No mosquito issues. The fan worked. Breakfast was below average but not horrible. The most annoying thing was the hassle in front of the restaurant area with men trying to sell the usual things every single time... More

Good view of the harbour and sun set from our room. It was up lots of steps so tired me out to get to the top. The room was extremely hot and had to shower in my night clothes to stay cool. The fan didn't really work. And like most cheap places the shower was crap and it was a... More

After a seriously long journey we came to Gardenia because of the Lonely Planet which said it was a good place to stay. Well its not - its bloody awful. It may have been good 5 years ago but now it is tired and run down. The wood in the huts is crumbeling away. The bathroom is awful, no seat... More

The cheapest in town but far from the cleanest. Our room didn't even have a toilet set. The noise from the street was very loud with cars and trucks. Mouldy, damp rooms with very little class, hard mattress and no sheets. Bathroom did smell, breakfast was one stale bread roll and then I was pointed to a plastic tub stuffed... More

We booked a Komodo trip through Gardenia which went great. We had two nights free after the trip before our flight so we booked in to stay. The price was very cheap and the room reflected that. It is basic but this place is really just a pit stop for people going on tours to Komodo etc. The restaurant service... More

Service..... Didn't exist. No one had a clue really. Rooms first: cleanish, basic and cheap. Great. Try to organise anything with them however was a waste of time. Stayed there 2 nights. Went to an island for 2 nights on a trip through them, so booked for us arriving back. Arrived back at 9.30am to blank looks until we pointed... More

It always astounds me when people give a terrible review to cheap hotels. For me it pretty straight forward if you pay $10 per night for accommodation...I want the room to be clean and airy, the bed to be moderately comfortable, a fan is good, mosquito net yes, bathroom should be clean but tiles are ok, cold water is fine...

10 years ago, when this place wasn't so tired, and standards were lower, this place would have been okay, but now it's in need of a complete internal makeover. It's beyond shabby chic, it's just shabby. Fortunately I only stayed one night and I was drunk. The bathrooms are probably clean but appear quite manky, and the mattresses are foam.... More
