In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Staff consistently praised — Reviewers repeatedly highlight the friendly, attentive staff and host, with several noting they went out of their way to help.
- Central yet calm location — Within a short walk of Ubud Market, Palace, Radiantly Alive, and many restaurants, but set back from the main streets in a quiet area.
- Breakfast with a view — Breakfast is served on the terrace or in-room, with a choice of western options, good coffee, and views of the garden or mountains.
- Great value for the price — With rates from £44, guests feel they get a lot for the money, especially given the central location and breakfast.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if you're travelling with an animal.
- No lift mentioned — The property is only two floors, but if you have heavy luggage, be prepared for stairs—there's no elevator listed.
- Limited room variety — All rooms come with a king-size bed (or a double in the deluxe), so if you prefer twin beds, this might not be ideal.
- Check-in window starts at 14:00 — If you arrive earlier, you may not get into your room right away—though some guests mention early check-in was allowed when possible.

Getting around Ubud

Ubud Market: A 5-minute walk from the hotel, the market is the place for souvenirs, local crafts, and street food. It's a busy spot, especially in the late afternoon.
Ubud Royal Palace: Also about a 5-minute walk away, the palace is a historic complex with traditional dance performances in the evening. A quick visit is worth the time.
