Bali Gianyar Hotels

This hotel is in great walking distance to the art market, restaurants, and shopping. Although the front entrance is being renovated, that does not impede access to the hotel and is not noisy. (New brickwork being laid on the ground) The ambiance of the location is quite nice with lots of greenery and unique architecture. Our room was clean and large, but the balcony cannot be used in the mornings or evenings due to the monkeys! This hotel is right next to the monkey forest, so expect visitors. Several monkeys blocked our way from walking out of our room one evening, but a hotel worker chased them off for us. It did take getting used to needing to hang wet bathing suits in the bathroom rather than a drying rack on a balcony. The monkeys seem to come early in the mornings (3:30-4:30!) and in the evenings (6:00-8:00). Other than those times, we did not see them nor have any problems with them. There is a small but nice hot buffet breakfast at the hotel and two swimming pools.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were beautiful with lovely little details. Afternoon tea was a lovely touch. A la carte breakfast was delicious. Staff were so helpful at all times, nothing was too much. Pool facilities lovely. Overall a very relaxing and calming hotel but still in the middle of Ubud. Would definitely stay again!

OH MY GOSH!!! We both love this hotel!!! This was the first time i stayed in Ubud area because i was looking for a 2 days retreat, no shopping, no going out. Just stayed in the hotel to relax. I booked the Alaya room and was satisfied with my choice and the help of the reservation department so that i was given the paddy field view. The only minus was the air conditioning was not as cold as expected, i supposed it needs some service. But that was just very minor that i didn't make any complaint. The bed was sooo oohh comfortable, but the pillows were a bit bulky and thick. The balcony was friendly to us. Since we webt there when it was the last week of liw season, we got a really nice quiet, and minimal guests in the hotel area. My room was in building 1 and it was excellent!! All staffs were wonderful, very helpful and very polite. I couldn't say more to express my satisfactions and gratitutes to all of you, but i can only let you know that the next time i m coming to stay in Ubud, ALAYA will be my number 1 choice!!

The rooms are clean, the view is nice, it's quiet, the jakuzi is big, the water is fast, the AC is cold like a refrigerator 👍👍, basically this hotel is the best for those looking for peace at one with nature 👍👍, will come here again if I go to Ubud... the kids are happy all 🫶

It’s a very good location and the main sights in Ubud are easy to access from here. There are lots of restaurants and shops within walking distance and the staff were very friendly. The room was basic but it has everything that you need. The WiFi wasn’t great in the room but if you want to explore, it’s a great place to base.

A hotel where you can receive the best service. I love Ritz, who never takes no for an answer. The food is delicious both in the morning and in the evening. The course dinner was quite large, but it was all so delicious that I ate it all without leaving any leftovers. I thought it would be nice if they could hold a few more free yoga classes. There was only one box of tissues in the room, and I quickly ran out of them. You can have it delivered right away by phone, but other hotels don't have one in the room, so I hope they can improve this. But I can't say enough about the new hotel to have the best service and delicious food.

This is a fantastic place to stay if you’re looking to be close to the action, but can still enjoy a rest. Bed and pillows are divine, and the shower pressure is strong with consistent hot water. Like the other reviews, get in early for the breakfast so you won’t be disappointed. They do a really good job. Highly recommended staying here!

The hotel is very nice and the rooms are well appointed with a work area, comfy chair and some balcony furniture. The bathroom has a window which overlooks the bed and the balcony but there is a blind you can pull down. The bed was very comfy and so were the pillows. There isn't much sound proofing and we were near the lobby and restaurant so we heard a lot of noise in the morning when we tried to sleep in but from 10 pm to 6 am there wasn't much noise thankfully. The resort is kind of a small wellness and they have some activities like ping pong, a levelled pool area, suction cup archery, badminton and coconut bowling. The breakfast restaurant was quite good and offered a good variety of Asian, western and vegetarian options. I was excited to see and try snake fruit for the first time and was able to find something to enjoy each day. Eggs and soup are made to order but each station took a little bit of time to get our orders out each time. The dal curry was a highlight and they had a good rice dish each day as well. We also tried the pool bar and it was great for an afternoon snack and cocktail after a full day being in Ubud. The hotel location isn't the best and we were there during a busy couple of days for ceremonies and tourists which made getting in and out of the hotel area very hard. It took us 2 hours to get to the airport from here and we spent a lot of time stuck in traffic instead of sightseeing due to congestion. A restaurant which would normally be a 15 minute drive took us 40 minutes to get to. The hotel is about a half an hour walk to Ubud Centre but they offer a scheduled shuttle service to Ubud Centre and the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary but you have to book at reception and there's only 10 seats per shuttle. We found we couldn't get as much done as we wanted to in Bali due to the congestion in Ubud as it took a considerable amount of time for drivers to get to us and we weren't comfortable with driving a scooter with so much traffic. The hotel did offer bicycles but the infrastructure is not that good around the hotel for walkers let alone bicyclists. The service was prompt at the hotel. We had a late but efficient check in and they offered us coupons for their laundry service and massage. We ran out of water but they would bring us as many as we wanted any time of day which was super nice. They offered to bring our luggage to the room and stored it while we are breakfast prior to an early pickup.

Our third stay at Dwaraka was just as amazing as before. This small boutique hotel is stunning. The staff cannot do enough for you. The hotel is situated just outside Ubud. We walked into Ubud centre easily but wouldn’t do it in the dark due to the lack of street lights and pavements. But the hotel run a complimentary shuttle service or a taxi is cheap. There are a few good restaurants close by. We stayed in a pool villa looking over the small rice fields. The villa is very big and very beautiful as is the garden and pool. We felt really spoiled and privileged to be staying in such a wonderful villa. We have also stayed in one of the regular rooms on a previous visit. These are lovely too and also very big with wonderful views from the large balcony. There are two gorgeous shared pools and you have them almost to yourself. They close one off for you if you want to have a floating breakfast. Breakfast is fantastic. We only had a couple of meals in the restaurant. We found the food quite expensive compared to similar restaurants in the area, although not the drinks. The food was good depending on what you choose. The local dishes were probably the best. The private romantic BBQ was fabulous. We booked direct with the hotel and took the package which included an airport pick up, hour long massage for two and a private romantic BBQ dinner. All in all fantastic value and difficult to beat. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending the Dwaraka and can’t wait to return. Thank you to the wonderful staff who know how to treat their guests.

Our stay at Puri Sebali Resort was an unforgettable experience, elevated to an extraordinary level by not just Lanti, but the entire team. From the moment we set foot on the property, we were enveloped in a welcoming atmosphere that carried through our entire four-night stay. Lanti was instrumental in orchestrating my proposal to my girlfriend. Her attention to detail and her ability to capture the essence of what we wanted was exceptional. However, she was far from a one-woman show. The entire team at Puri Sebali worked seamlessly to ensure that everything was perfect—from the reservations team who handled our booking with grace, to the ground staff who always greeted us with a smile. They organised every detail including a photographer for the occassion. The culinary team deserves a special mention as well. The food was consistently excellent, adding another layer of enjoyment to our stay. Everyone at the resort took immense pride in their roles, and their collective efforts created a truly magical environment. We spent most of our time by the infinity pool, which felt like a slice of heaven, thanks to the incredible view of the river terraces across from the resort. To Lanti and the entire team at Puri Sebali Resort, thank you for making our stay, and especially the proposal, a dream come true. Your collective efforts have created memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. We highly recommend Puri Sebali Resort for anyone looking for an exceptional holiday experience, and we are already looking forward to our next visit.
