Stayed at Tulamben Wreck Divers Hotel as part of a package for my 2 days 1 night diving experience. As there was a night dive, it made practical sense to just stay over. Overall 3 dives were done at USAT Liberty, with 2 more dives at the Amed side. Note that getting here from Denpasar area is about a 2 hour and 30 mins ride.
Accommodation 3/5 - Rooms are ultimately functional, it is actually surprisingly large (i was given a double and single bed for 1 pax) and there is functional air-conditioning. Shower was slightly ordinary but there is hot water and toilet bowl seat is actually pretty new. It is good to stay for the purpose of diving but probably nothing more then 2 nights. Wifi works pretty fairly.
Location 4/5 - Location is definitely prime for the purpose of diving. It is also in the middle of the walkable area for all the other cafes and hotels serving the Tulamben stretch (note though that it is not really that many anyway). Note that most shops and hotel linked cafes close pretty early so there is nothing much to do besides sleep early. Even the restaurant itself in the "hotel" closes early.
Service 2/5 - Not much service to talk about and service staff are not that conversant in english. There is security at the front so overall at least you can say it is safe. Its just entirely functional. Note that there is no given shampoo/conditioner/toothbrush either, but they did provide soap.
Atmosphere 3/5 - Being in the diving area, would say it serves it's purpose and is nice and quiet. I guess in theory if you wanted to, you could even walk down to the USAT wreck side and enjoy the night breeze.
Price 3/5 - Seems to be priced about $36 according to google (pardon me as i paid for it as part of the dive package so i do not know exact cost for my stay). For size of room, cleanliness and for purpose, it is pretty fair but if you have 3 people staying, then it will start to be a bit crowded (but you could always relax outside of the room instead)
Overall, satisfactory place to stay and for the price, it is what you get. This won't be your main draw to the Tulamben area anyway. - via
