The Room Padang Padang

The Room is a guesthouse at Jl. Labuansait No. 73, almost opposite the entrance to Padang Padang beach and the Labuan Sait bridge. Its two-storey buildings, painted a vivid orange, wrap around a garden and swimming pool, with loungers and Balinese daybeds for lazy afternoons between surfs.

Rooms are clean, white and simple, with air conditioning and private bathrooms; breakfast is included and there is an on-site restaurant. Amenities listed include free wi-fi, airport shuttle and parking. The location is the main draw: you can walk to Padang Padang beach in minutes, and the cafés, warungs and surf shops of the strip are on the doorstep.

It is rated 4.6 on Google from around 380 reviews, with guests praising the friendly staff and the value for money. Book directly through the website or by WhatsApp. Rooms facing the main road can pick up traffic noise, so ask for one at the back if you are a light sleeper. Surf lessons and board hire are easy to arrange nearby.
