For those who've been to Bali, can you suggest a good budget hotel under $25 a night?

The Aquarius, a little ways north of Kuta beach near the shopping mall. Nice hut-style rooms in a long garden area with a pool and a good hotel restaurant. When I was there in '04 it was about $12 a night. Good deal. Try to find a hotel set in a garden area as Kuta can be really noisy at night.

Agung cottages, around 20 US a night now, I think.

When they say single or double, does that refer to the type of bed or the size of the room?

Just down the road from Agung is the Dewa Baharata Bungalows (I think that's the name). It was 150rp a night including bfast and tax. They had aircon and tv in the rooms and a nice pool. It's set back off the street so it's like a nice break from the bustle of the street. Nice gardens too, I liked it better than Agung. I just spent 3 weeks in Bali and there is lots of accomadation available. I booked my first 2 nights in a more expensive place on the internet then during the day walked round till I found a place that I liked within my budget.

Forgot to add, went there with my wife in Feb and she booked us a room at Casa Padma in Legian where we got a suite for $33 a night; they usually go for over a hundred. Real nice boutique hotel, far enough away from the noise of Kuta, but close enough so I could stagger home in a drunked stupor on football nights. There is a huge pool and its about a 3 minute walk to the beach. She booked it through a travel agent she knows in Jakarta, so if you want the name, just PM me and I'll send it on to you. Selamat Jalan.
