If you need a place to base yourself in Padangbai or you're just passing through, check out the Zen Inn. Liam & Wayan couldn't have done more for us after we missed the fast boat to Gili T. Truly, nothing was a hassle and it was great to stay in a place with real character(s!) The food is delicious and... More

We stayed here 3 nights and absolutely loved it. Padang Bai is a beautiful little place with a few stunning beaches. Both are walking distance from Zen Inn, as well as the town "centre" with its restaraunts and cafes (Go to the Padang Bai Cafe for the best $1 noodles you have ever had!) Staff were very friendly, and so... More

I stayed at the Zen Inn during my trip to Bali while I did my diving certification, and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Liam is a very gracious host and despite having recently been in a moto-crash, provided me with transport, recommendations, and lots of tips for Padang Bai. The Inn itself is nothing fancy, but it works (though it's probably worth... More

Liam makes this place. He's the owner come host. It's perfectly placed for getting on the ferry, but there are other places closer to the waterfront. The staff, food and drink were great. I wasn't feeling too great, but after the lovely fish BBQ and 6 or 8 (what was it Liam?) beers I felt fine. Not that his staff... More

Once I got there, the girls in the restaurant showed me my room and it was clean and simple with some cool... More

If you want a place to stay that is inexpensive, but responsive to the needs of the traveler, this is the place for you. Run by the affable Liam and the lovely Wayan, the Zen Inn offers modest but very honest accommodations attached to a bar/restaurant that serves excellent food at reasonable prices. For residents a basic breakfast is inclusive... More

We stayed at the Zen Inn during my first trip to Bali, as a gateway to the Gilli Islands. The hotel was friendly and comfortable, and the adjacent bar/restuarant was great. The staff were always friendly and went out of their way to help out, and the resident pet dog was gorgeous. I am going back to Bali this year... More
