Martas Hotel Gili Trawangan

I’ve been travelling for 7 weeks in asia now, and it is one of the best stay I had. Front desk and staff, there are amazing! Every single person there is sweet. We had welcome juice. Room is big, with aircon and fan, perfect combination. Beds were clean, bathroom clean. Nice balcony. Breakfast, simply amazing. You have 3 choices too, and it comes with a lot of food. Pool is beautiful and refreshing. Nice location also. Muslim prayer at night and in the morning, and we were in the ramadan period, but with earplugs, it is perfectly fine. To have a good stay in Gili, you must go there. The bathroom as windows, so if you want an « open air » bathroom, you can open the windows.

It was amazing stay

The location was great....a block from the main strip and beach. It was very quiet....except for the extremely loud calling to prayer and chanting which go on several times a day from the nearby mosque. I doubt if there's anywhere on the busy east side of the island where you can avoid this, so bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper ( usually at least once in the middle of the night) The only other slightly negative is the fact that the bathroom is downstairs, and the bedroom up. For us 70 year olds, who usually have to get up at least once a night, the rather steep stairs were a challenge. Enough of the warnings....the rest is superb! The staff is amazing...couldn't do enough for you. Rooms were cleaned daily....a crew of 4 or 5 guys arrived at your leisure....and the unit was spotless. The pool was great to cool off in, and the grounds very lush. Joanna, the owner, was super friendly and helpful. The island itself is paradise....no cars or motor bikes (other than the odd electric scooter), and you get around by bike ($5 a day), walk, or horse drawn buggy. It's a scuba diver's and snorkellers heaven, and party central for the under 30 crowd, but we never felt out of place. Any trip to Bali should include Gili Trawangan, and Marta's is a great place to stay!

Really nice hotel!

We had a spectacular stay at Martas Gili from Jan 1-4 2018. We were situated in a family bungalow which was a good size and the beds were very clean and comfy. The bathroom was large enough. It took a while for hot water to come on but it was HOT when it did which I appreciated! There was AC in top and bottom floors. The breakfast was spectacular and the staff were absolutely over the top kind and accommodating. We even got to rent bikes from the hotel which made travel so quick and easy! The pool is a decent size for you to do a few laps. One night we saw a large crab hanging out in front of our bungalow! They provide mosquito repellent aroma in the room so that helped with bites at night. This was by far the highlight stay of our vacation and it made Gili so extremely enjoyable for us. Thank you so much for your amazing hospitality, we will certainly stay here again should we visit Gili in the future!
