Check Out 12 Best Kost in Denpasar

Hello FlokqFebruary 11, 2021

Due to the island being a huge expat destination, Denpasar has a variety of kost options for you. From luxury hotels to cozy guesthouses, you can find any kind of living arrangements you want here. One such living arrangements are kosts/indekos. This living arrangement, like any, allows you to stay at one place for a certain period of time after paying a certain amount of money. Kosts generally charge monthly, but there are also kosts that charge daily for one or two night stays. 

Knowing where and what to expect when it comes to kosts can be handy in some situations. Say if you’re lost and you’re looking for a cheap place to stay for the night (they’re not that cheap, but they tend to be cheaper than most hotels or even guesthouses). Or, maybe you’re really looking to budget your stay in Bali as much as possible. In those two scenarios, kosts/indekos living arrangements can definitely benefit you. Heck, that’s why kosts are very popular for local students and workers to stay in. In a place that can get real lavish like Bali, you definitely need to know where to look when it comes to budget stays.
