If you want to stay in Canggu for the chill atmosphere on the street by the beaches while maintaining a balance between work and the nightlife, you’d be better off at a hostel than one of fancy hotels. I’ve put together a list of some of the best hostels you can check out to plan for your trip to Canggu! Let’s check them out.

  • 1. Kos One Hostel

    A lot of visitors fall in love with Kos One Hostel! The place is just the best for relaxation. Hot showers, a spa, and access to a temple, a cafe, and the sand beach make it a wonderful setting for tours. You can spend the night with a book under a reading light, or you can part the curtains and take in the beauty of the setting. Anyone with any questions is treated with utmost respect by the local staff, and all your linens are well taken care of as part of the bonus services.

    Free from the bustle of town and cheaper than dedicated villas and spas, the value of Kos One hostel cannot be overstated. They also have coworking spaces for the tribe of digital nomads, a table of billiards for people wanting to relax after each adventurous day, and an endless supply of beer at the booths straight from the beach clubs. This is as good as a Balinese holiday will get!

Expert Opinion

I have been living in Bali for ten years. To some degree, I have witnessed a lot of welcomes and goodbyes as people and friends come and go. Living on this paradise island, I often meet the typical digital nomads who make friends around the globe and continue to connect over the long term. Many of these people are drawn to the hostel community.

So, here are my best selections of the best hostels in Canggu:

Kos One Hostel, Tribal Hostel, and Dip & Doze Boutique Hostel

The reason why these make up my best selections is the vibes, pools, environment, cleanliness, and facilities. In my opinion, these hostels will make you forget that you are a backpacker traveller! They provide for the needs of the backpacker. Some of them also have a bungalow if you are a couple and want some privacy.

So, if you booked your ticket to Bali and are travelling on a budget, it’s time to book your hostel. Happy hostel hunting! Enjoy Canggu Bali!
