La proprietà — Bread & Jam Hostel
Bread & Jam Hostel in Tuban is a backpacker-oriented spot just back from Kuta Beach, with whitewashed walls, a small pool and a decent communal kitchen. The vibe is laid-back and social — expect travellers swapping tips in the common area — but it keeps the party volume low enough for decent sleep. It suits solo travellers and budget pairs who want a clean base near the surf without the chaos of central Kuta. Standing in the lobby, you’ll notice the breezy open-plan layout and a board of local tour deals pinned by the reception.
Cronache di Tuban
Tuban used to be a quiet fishing village before the 1970s tourism boom transformed Bali’s south coast. The area grew rapidly alongside Legian and Kuta, fuelled by surfers and then package tourism, but it remains less saturated. Its architecture mixes modest two-storey guesthouses with the odd Hindu temple, and the main road is a corridor of mini-marts and warungs. Contemporary Tuban is essentially a budget tourist corridor — functional, not charming — valued for its proximity to Ngurah Rai airport and the beach.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Tuban →I migliori mesi
April to June: the tail of the rainy season clears up, humidity drops a notch, and surf conditions are good without peak-crowd prices.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are the busiest months, driven by school holidays in Australia and Europe; hostel prices jump by 30–50%, and the beach road gets gridlocked; no single festival drives it, just the general high season.
Stagione di spalla
September to October: still dry, lighter crowds and rates drop 20–30% from July peaks; water stays warm, surf is reliable.
Meteo e imballaggio
July in Tuban is the heart of the dry season, so you’ll get blue skies but a strong south-east afternoon wind that whips up dust on the road. Pack a lightweight long-sleeve shirt for evening mozzies and a windbreaker for scooter rides along the coast.
Briefing della città — Tuban
- The new Bali Mandara toll road (Jalan Tol Bali Mandara) now connects the airport directly to Sanur and Nusa Dua, bypassing the Tuban-Kuta bottleneck — useful if you’re heading east.
- Tuban’s main beach had new public showers and changing rooms installed in early 2026, cleaning up the strip a bit, but parking still fills by 10am on weekends.
- Several warungs along Jalan Kebo Iwa have reopened after the pre-2026 road-widening work finished, offering 30–40% cheaper food than the hotel-adjacent options.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Bread & Jam Hostel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor facing away from Gang Kelapa Buntu. The street is a narrow alley, but motorbikes start early. Upper floors are quieter because the hostel has no lift – you’ll get better sound insulation from the ground floor common areas.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid any ground floor rooms. They’ll pick up noise from the alley, the reception/lobby, and the kitchen (if there’s a breakfast area). Also avoid rooms right next to the stairwell – foot traffic up to the rooftop bar/terrace can be loud until late.
Best views
Rooms at the back (away from the alley) might overlook nearby houses or a small temple. No sea view – you’re inland in Tuban. Best view is likely just the quiet local street life or a sliver of green.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 (top floor). The hostel is a simple 3-storey walk-up; these floors get less street noise and fewer people passing through.
🔊 Noise notes
Gang Kelapa Buntu is a narrow lane in a dense residential/tourist area. Expect motorbike horns from 6am and maybe some call to prayer from nearby mosque (typical for Bali). Alley-side rooms will get louder than those at the back. No lift means no machinery noise, but stairs can amplify footsteps.
Insider tips
Check in early to snag a back-facing room – they’re quieter and often less humid. If you’re on foot, the hostel is 10 minutes from Tuban beach; no parking on site (it’s a narrow gang), so park on the main road or use ride-sharing.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Get a travel card →Indonesian Rupiah, IDR
Use ATMs at major banks such as BNI, Mandiri, or BRI for the best rates; avoid currency exchange booths at the airport and tourist areas as they give poor rates.
Cards are accepted at larger hotels and some upmarket restaurants, but most local warungs, markets, and smaller shops only take cash; contactless pay is rare.
Tipping is not expected but appreciated: leave small change (around 5,000–10,000 IDR) at warungs, round up taxi fares, and tip hotel staff 10,000–20,000 IDR for carrying bags.
Mangiare, fare shopping e viaggiare su un budget
Cheap car hire →A cup of kopi (black coffee) from a local warung costs about 5,000–10,000 IDR.
Nasi campur (rice with mixed sides) at a warung costs around 15,000–25,000 IDR.
A main dish of mie goreng or nasi goreng at a basic eatery is roughly 20,000–35,000 IDR.
Jalan Raya Tuban (the main road) and the area around the Tuban market (Pasar Tuban) have clusters of street food stalls selling sate, bakso, and gorengan from late afternoon onwards.
Mid-sized supermarkets such as Indomaret, Alfamart, and Tip Top are common throughout Tuban for basics.
The local pasar (e.g., Pasar Tuban) has cheap casual clothes and batik; for more variety, head to the large outdoor market on Jalan Raya By Pass.
The cheapest way around is by bemo (shared minibus) for 5,000–10,000 IDR per ride; from the airport (Ngurah Rai), take a public bus or damri to Benoa (around 30,000 IDR) then a bemo or ojek to Tuban.
Eat at warung instead of tourist-focused restaurants; buy water at minimarkets (not at the hotel); haggle politely at markets but start at half the asking price.

Principali attrazioni a Tuban
💡 Come just before sunset for cooler light and fewer crowds. Respect dress code: cover legs and shoulders; women need a headscarf, which you can borrow at the entrance.
💡 Go between 7-9 am for the freshest fruit and to see the busiest action. Try a cup of wedang jahe (ginger tea) from the corner stall for 2,000 IDR.
💡 Ask the guard to turn on the lights if it's dim—they often keep them off to save power. The batik collection on the upper floor is the highlight.
💡 Go early morning (6-7 am) to avoid the heat and crowds. You can watch pilgrims recite prayers; be respectful and don't photograph inside the main tomb chamber.
💡 Walk north along the beach to the wooden jetty — it's a good spot for photos. Bring your own drinks; vendors nearby charge double.
