Hotels near Gili Trawangan Sunset Beach, Gili Trawangan

An amazing place! Tucked away from the main roads and horse trails, it’s peaceful and has a wonderfully secluded vibe. The staff is attentive and friendly, the breakfasts are delicious with a wide variety to choose from. The room was clean, cozy, and everything looked new or very well maintained. I would definitely stay here again.

I actually cried when we left this villa! I'm truly speechless when it comes to describing the range of emotions and experiences that made up our vacation! It was unforgettable! The warmth and responsiveness of the staff, the excellent location, the cleanliness and comfort, the peace and quiet... I could go on forever! Everything was perfect, without exception – the room, the design, the grounds. The housekeeping was impeccable, not a speck of dust in the room, and the grounds were constantly maintained. The beach is just a stone's throw away, the water is crystal clear, there are lots of turtles, and beautiful fish. We walked at low tide to the turn on the left side, and from there, we started snorkeling along the edge of the reef where turtles gather in groups of 3-5. We even saw a venerable lady about a meter long. It's incredibly beautiful, they look like they're flying. Larger fish also swim in from the deep there. There are cats on the hotel grounds, so don't be lazy, pack a bag of cat food in your suitcase, and they'll thank you with their purrs. Not far from the hotel, there's a cat shelter where they treat sick animals, and also sell food and souvenirs, with the proceeds going towards animal care. Don't miss catching at least one sunrise and watching a sunset; photos simply don't do the beauty justice. After swimming to our heart's content and enjoying delicious dinners, we slept like babies on the comfortable beds, falling asleep and waking up to the sound of birdsong. It was a vacation for the mind and body, feeling as if we were in paradise. A special thank you to the staff who create this incredible atmosphere.

Sea Shell Hotel Gili is a small and cozy hotel where we stayed for two nights during our trip to the Gili Islands. The hotel is located inside the island rather than directly on the beach, but the ocean is still within easy walking distance — just a short walk to the left side of the island. Considering the size of Gili, the location is actually quite convenient and quiet. Our room was spacious with a large comfortable bed, perfect for relaxing after a day in the sun. The bathroom was also quite big with good plumbing — hot water was always available and the water pressure was strong. Overall everything was clean and well maintained. One small thing that felt a bit strange was that we were given only one towel per person. If a place positions itself as a hotel rather than a guesthouse, it would be nice to have at least two towels per guest. Another detail we didn’t love was the drinking water system. Water is provided in a jug rather than sealed plastic bottles. While it may be more eco-friendly, personally I feel a bit more comfortable when the drinking water comes in sealed bottles. The hotel has a large swimming pool which looks nice, although we didn’t end up using it — when you’re on Gili, swimming in the ocean feels like the obvious choice. Breakfast was probably the most disappointing part of the stay. There is a menu, but in reality there aren’t many options to choose from. On the second morning about half of the menu was unavailable when we tried to order, and no explanation was given. Amsterdam - Good cafe near the hotel :) in the end we sorted out our breakfast there Overall, Sea Shell Hotel Gili is a decent option if you’re looking for a quiet place to stay with spacious rooms and a good bathroom. It’s not perfect, but for a short stay on the island it worked well enough.

Don’t believe the pictures in the advertisement! They don’t reflect reality. The pictures pretend that the hotel is at least a 4 * location. The truth is that this is not the case! It is located at a very poor area in mid of the island where local people burn their trash including plastic. The smell is disgusting it is everywhere, in your room also during night and it burns in your eyes. The hotel is run by a group of very young unprofessional boys and I would like to emphasise that they are really friendly, kind and helpful and try to do their best. They also prepare breakfast in a kitchen which is disgusting! Therefore, I preferred to have breakfast at a proper place even though breakfast was included. See the attached fotos to get an impression what expects you and better choose another hotel if you want to enjoy your holidays. I had to pay 400 € for 3 nights, it is not worth half the price. I tried to get a reimbursement but the hotel didn’t accept. They obviously see the hotel as a cash cow and not a place where their guest should feel comfortable. This was very frustrating! At the end Trip. com accepted my complaint and offered me help. My advice: Choose a hotel at the beach, there are so many!

The hotel is conveniently located right next to the port. It's on a very lively street, with lots of tourists, shops, cafes, and even horses – always bustling with activity. The breakfasts are fantastic – a lavish buffet plus you can order additional dishes to be prepared. Truly among the best! The rooms are incredibly clean and beautiful. The hotel's design gets an A+! 🤓

The hotel is conveniently located on the west side of the island. A road connects the west side to the east, passing through the center of the island; it's about a 30-minute walk or a 10-minute scooter ride. The hotel grounds are well-maintained, lush with greenery, and feature a pool, bar, and breakfast service. The only minor downside is that after room cleaning, towels were sometimes forgotten or taken without new ones being provided, or toilet paper was missed. It's not critical, as you can always go to the front desk and ask. Overall, it was a pleasant stay here, and I recommend it.

A good hotel within walking distance from the port (5 minutes walk). The house lacks daylight. If possible, it is better to book without breakfast. The location is convenient, the beach and cafes are within walking distance.

The location is good, and the room is spacious and clean. They give you mineral water as well, which is nice. But it is extremely noisy, I think the speaker for the prayers is there or somewhere very close. The prayers happens very often and even at 4 or 5 am when you want to sleep, it won't stop. Also, my friend paid £2 in a place right in front of this one and they had a pool and jacuzzi. So for the price I paid, there was simple amenities. But staff is friendly and it's a safe place.

Good hotel, enjoyed everything. The pool is great, and it's only a 2-minute walk to the main street, with everything within walking distance. Their snorkeling trips are cheaper than anywhere else; you can pay at the hotel. It's 1100 out on the street, but only 175 here.

Be prepared for the villa to be very run-down; it's noticeable at first glance. Some floorboards are rotten and collapsing, the pool tiles are loose or missing in places, and the bathroom smells terrible, especially if it rains. Pros: This villa has a certain charm like a wooden cottage built in The Sims (heart-shaped lock, wooden windows, cozy blanket). Cons: The soundproofing is terrible. You can hear neighbors showering or swimming in the pool, the mosque singing until midnight, and the rain drumming all night as if you're sleeping in a greenhouse. The bathroom smells awful! And if it rains, the bathroom floods (because the shower is open to the elements).
