The hotel itself is very nice for its price range. It’s clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. The rooms are not big, but it was nice to have an outdoor seating area and felt very private. The pool also looked beautiful, although we did not use it. The staff was very nice and helpful, and the breakfasts were decent. The issue is that this hotel is very close to the central mosque on Gili Air, so you can hear the call to prayer very very loudly. Unlike in the Middle East where you only hear it for 5-10 minutes, each call to prayer + subsequent prayer service lasted at least 60-90 minutes, while on Friday it went on all night long (6pm-5am). We are told this is because it was Ramadan, but if you read other reviews of Gili Air generally, you will see similar complaints about the mosque all year round. It’s very unfortunate because the hotel itself is lovely; however we cut our trip short and left Gili Air after two days because we were unable to get any sleep. We did also walk all around the island to see if there was a place where we couldn’t hear the mosque, but it was clearly audible everywhere. It was a relief to get back to Bali and have a full night’s rest.
