Senggigi Cottages Lombok is a small garden hotel in central Senggigi, the long-established beach strip on Lombok's west coast. It is a simple, relaxed place with an outdoor pool, a terrace, a garden and a library, and it offers a wide range of rooms for different group sizes, from a single room to superior, garden-view and pool-view rooms, deluxe rooms and family rooms with two queen beds that sleep several people. Rooms have air conditioning, a refrigerator, a separate sitting area, premium bedding, free toiletries and a hair dryer, and many have a balcony or patio. Free Wi-Fi is available in rooms, a restaurant and bar serve meals and drinks, and a free daily manager's reception gives guests a chance to meet staff and other travellers. Reception staff speak several languages, and a concierge and tour desk can arrange trips to the Gili islands, Mount Rinjani and the south coast. Laundry, luggage storage and a front-desk safe are also available. It is a low-key choice for budget travellers, small families and groups of friends who want a pool and a walkable location rather than resort polish.
Location and getting around
The hotel is on the main road through Senggigi, and the beach is around nine minutes on foot, with the Senggigi Art Market about eight minutes away. Pura Batu Bolong, the seaside Hindu temple famous for sunsets, is a short drive of about four minutes. Nipah Beach is around nineteen minutes by car and the Bangsal harbour for boats to the Gili islands is around forty minutes away.
The airport is more than an hour by road, so budget time for the transfer, and the hotel can arrange a round-trip shuttle on request for a per-vehicle charge. There is no parking on site, so most guests use taxis or a hired driver.
What to expect
The pool-view rooms are the best of the range, looking over the water and the garden, and the family rooms are practical for groups. The restaurant serves breakfast and simple meals, and there are plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby along the main road, including local warungs and small tourist restaurants.
Senggigi is quieter than it used to be, with a handful of beachfront bars and live music venues, so evenings are mellow. The hotel has no spa, but massage is easy to arrange nearby. Rooms are modest and clean, with the focus on value rather than design.
Good to know
Check-in starts in the afternoon and runs until midnight, with late arrival possible during limited hours, and check-out is in the morning. Pets are not allowed. Free cancellation is offered on select room rates. The hotel is a good option for travellers who plan to base themselves in Senggigi for several nights, take day trips to the Gili islands or the Rinjani trailhead, and want a comfortable pool to return to.
If you want a beachfront resort with a spa, look at the larger Senggigi and Mangsit resorts instead. For a pool and a friendly welcome at a low price, this is a solid pick.
