The owner was really sweet and extremely helpful. Helped me book multiple excursions when online bookings were difficult. Being a solo traveler, some places will try to charge you double to join in on their excursions but everything I booked through the hotel was the same price per person as any other group with multiple people. The property owner is very kind and makes a yummy breakfast every morning! Pretty views from the hotel and it’s so close to things in town but also tucked away enough that the noise doesn’t bother you at night. Rooms were comfortable and I felt safe the entire time. Definitely recommend staying here!

Everything was great :)

It’s in the very centre of Ubud, lots of cafes and Resturant’s within walking distance. Comfortable bed good enough for a solo traveller Great shower pressure and warm water all the time (I left my original accommodation because of the bathroom 🫠 so I’m happy this one was more suitable) Owner was very kind and gave you your privacy Good AC

Could use a kettle in the room Slightly over priced for what you get, it’s a very simple room could be a few euros cheaper in my opinion

,Good facility. I was happy to stay here. The view of the common area is beautiful. It was very good that they introduced me to the person who would accompany me, who would take me on a tour with his motorcycle for a reasonable price, whose name was Kadek if I'm not mistaken. I went from Ubud to Canggu. They stole my phone in Seminyak. I could not reach this person again. I would be very happy if this person's phone was delivered to me.

The imago room exactly like a what we have, view awesome paddy field and resort from room and the middle room also have awesome view and we love our breakfast there. Anwar with Restaurant and bar very strategis place and besar with Monkey forrest. The staf very friendly and Helpful as he help to baring our suitcase at second floor. My husband get good deep sleep as you can hear Nature( but because of near with love Music Cafe so the Music can be leaking to room)

The toilet clean and basic, The small road into the hotel quiet challenging if you have big luggage, if you back night time quiet dark, also We have bad experience with local taxi better use grab care 👌🏼

Location is really close to town but down a little alley so it is surprisingly not very noisy at night. Beds are clean and comfortable and the AC works well. The price is really good.

The bathroom could use a deep clean but it was OK. I would stay here again.

Budget friendly place in the middle of ubud. Very central. Many restaurants and shops around, very easy to walk everywhere. Not far from the monkey forest. Bed was comfortable. Shower has good water pressure and hot water. The man at reception (maybe owner?) was friendly and very helpful.

Towels smelled bad. Even when I got clean a one still smelled like humidity. Blanket doesn’t have a cover which I think is not very hygienic unless it’s washed after every guest.

Strategic location, amazing breakfast, owner was really welcoming, great view from common areas and room. Heart of Ubud but in a quiet location.

First room we were assigned to had bugs and bedding that was not completely clean. Owner switched us to an available room that did not have these problems

Great location, in rhetorical city centre but tucked away so it is peaceful and quiet. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Bed was a little hard and pillows weren’t amazing. No drinking water in room.

This property was perfect for a late arrival into Ubud! Our flight was delayed so we didn’t get into our rooms until after 1:30am. The owners were extremely accomodating and so lovely! Prime position on Monkey Forest Road, but so quiet, as it is down an alley, away from the Main Street.

The beds were a little uncomfortable, but ok for a short stay. The bathroom was a little musty, but again, ok for a short stay.

Really clean spacious rooms. Friendly staff & really good location for getting around Ubud.

Can be a little noisy with the bars being so near, but the live music usually finishes around 11.30pm
