Did not post no ac in room. Ceiling fan small and could not open windows for air circulation. Then charged me extra to move to room w/ ac. Should have put rooms without ac upstairs so at least you could get a breeze. Stained sheets towels tub and toilet. Rips in towels and sheets. Only good thing cook made good banana crepes.

Great experience, we originally booked the room without the AC but we got an upgrade to one with the AC which was great since it's extremely humid. The staff was very friendly and helpful, they will help with booking cabs and will allow you to rent out bikes for a very reasonable price. The room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast that are included are tasty .

Good location. Cheap and cheerful.
We stayed four nights and would recommend to others bearing in mind you get what you pay for. If looking for luxury this is not for you. If looking for simple, clean accommodation in good location then I would recommend to stay here. Negatives - shower hung low over bath and no curtain so difficult not to get water all over the floor as had to hold shower at right height. Only one rail in bathroom could do with more hooks to hang clothes. No hand towel provided only bath towel. Room cleaned on third day and this was only making bed and emptying bin. Towels not changed. Nowhere to hang clothes in bedroom despite clothes hangers being provided. No sitting area inside so had to sit on bed. Wi-Fi is hit and miss. Did not use air con. Positives breakfast included in price, outside balcony area to sit on to have breakfast and in evening before all the mozzies come out. If you have a tour planned request breakfast earlier than you want as it was late on three occasions and up to 45mins late. Stayed in room 5 and noisy due to pool next door and water running. Cockerals in area constantly making noise day/night and toilet gurgled day/night too. So if light sleepers choice a different room or different place to stay. Located a one min walk off Bisma Street which is 10mins from main strip so good location and easy to walk to lots of places. Location is biggest positive. Heard they provide car service and tours but did not use any of this so cannot comment.

Lovely rooms,great price.
Really lovely rooms in beautiful garden, in a quiet location not far from the centre. A few little things, like milk for the coffee and a bathmat would make a difference, but overall, at the price, no complaints. Enjoyed our stay here.

Nice view but need improvement on staff
We stayed here for 2 nights, our room is spacious but empty, not many amenities provided, no kettle but they would boil water for you as requested. The duvet and pillow case were smelly when we first arrived and the staff changed for us efficiently upon our request. Bathroom is a bit dirty, there are stains at the back of the door. Bathtub is just a normal one, not the "Deep soaking bathtub'' that they've mentioned. Garden view from balcony is pretty. For breakfast we ordered toast with egg and banana pancake, the pancake is highly recommended. Location wise, its quite close to the Ubud city center, around 10-15 mins. Lots of massage places to choose from around the hotel. Hotel staffs are friendly but way too chatty and always persuade us to join dancing show, coffee shop activities, we almost had to avoid talking to them. And when we needed the staff to help book a taxi for one day, he mention the coffee shop and restaurant again, I understand they want to get commission but the way they did it is quite annoying and pushy. One thing we didn't like about staff is he walked in to our room for few times without asking our permission when we were inside the room, although he just wanted to chat with us how was our day and wanted to clean our room, however, we would like more privacy to ourselves and enjoy our rest. Overall, its still a pleasant stay because of the view we get and the convenience to city center.

A true gem! 4.5/5 stars
An absolutely brilliant find, I'd rather give it a 4.5/5 than just a 4. Dewa was a fantastic host, offering day trips to the Balinese dancing, the rice terraces, waterfall and temple. The hotel itself was so peaceful, on a small side street away from the main road which was ridiculously busy all the time. The street had restaurants selling for half the price! The breakfast was yummy and the room huge with comfy beds. Only downside was that the rooms got a slightly damp feeling as little air flow, and only a ceiling fan rather than air con. But if you can live with that then it's a true gem. A lovely little swimming pool as well which was great to cool off in. Highly recommended!!

Great place to stay
This is a very cute little place with nice gardens, a small pool and only 6 rooms. The location is good as it is off the main roads which were bumper to bumper with cars in July. The upstairs rooms have a very big balcony, the room itself was big and clean. The only thing is that they don't have milk or milk powder for tea and coffee so I suggest you bring your own. Overall this is a great place to stay and explore Ubud and there sre still rice paddies next door.

Bargain for Money
Surprised by the pool! Was a lovely addition to the stay. The breakfast was lovely every morning and the hosts friendly. It was convenient to Ubud, while being far enough away to feel relaxed and quiet. Definitely good value for money, and we didn't miss the extras like a TV. The other guests were lovely as well, and it was nice knowing that there were not many people in the complex.

A little oasis in Ubud
Frangipani is a delightful family owned b and b 10´ walk from the Museum Puri Lukisan, the Royal Palace and the market and 20' from the Monkey Forest. Despite the fact that it is so near all these tourist places, it is remarkably quiet. I loved waking up in the morning to the sound of birds and being surrounded by green. The upstairs rooms have a little balcony where breakfast is served: plenty of fruit and banana or pineapple pancake. Frangipani also boasts a small swimming pool which is a delight first thing in the morning or at night when the heat tends to become a wee too much. Very near the Frangipani there is a mini market and lots of very nice places where you can eat, especially the Black Pearl nextdoor. Ask for their banana fritters with cheese or ice cream - a delight for 2.5 Us dollars. The extra advantage of Frangipani is having Dewa Ajik, brother in law of the owner. He is the excellent resident driver and provides wonderful ideas for touring Ubud at very adequate rates. He suits the travelling plans according to what you wish to see. On top of that he gives youn wonderful insights into the Balinese culture.

An excellent find
Found this hotel on Hotels.com and thought that we could just spend one night there. The review doesn't mention a pool but when we got there not only were the bungalows amazing but there was also a lovely pool available. The owner is lovely and was really helpful, providing us with excellent breakfasts and information, arranging a trip to the Gili islands for us. The rooms are well maintained and cleaned daily. The only downside is that there are sometimes small ants in and around the bathrooms - nothing to worry about but worth noting if you have an aversion to ants. All in all and excellent place to stay - so much so that we stay for three more nights.

Pleasant quiet place, lovely garden
New place, nicely constructed,well maintained but initially had no hot water, soon corrected though. Service was prompt, nice people. Nice lovely garden courtyard set back from the road made for quiet pleasant time to relax by the pool or balcony/veranda. Separate tub/shower so bathroom floor stayed drier. Huge rooms. Only complaints are the shower head mounted too low, and no table space to put your things especially for such a large room, hot water should be checked before allowing occupy the room.

Overall, quite good.
Our fan wasn't working as well as it should have been, resulting in a few nights of poor sleep. Staff were friendly and helpful. The pool was only finished on our last day, which was a little frustrating. All in all though, a good place to stay, especially now they have the pool!

Lovely stay
We had an absolutely wonderful stay in early December. We booked a standard room but were given an upgrade on arrival to a room with aircon. Breakfast was amazing, with fruit and banana pancakes. A little far out but not too far to walk to town centre, and a bit quieter and peaceful! Only drawback is there was only a bath with shower, the bathrooms were a bit basic but still clean. Pool always under construction when we arrived so hope it's there next time!

Cheap... But is it worth it?
We paid $25 dollars a night so I have a hard time rating this less than a 2-3 because it's basically what we paid for. Here are the pro's and con's. Pro's: - WiFi that works great - Close to the main street in Ubud (10 min walk) - 24 hour check-in - Good breakfast included (limited options, banana pancakes are the best) Con's: - Our room (#3) didn't have air conditioning - There are ants everywhere in the room - Smells a bit musty - You don't receive clean towels unless you ask - No pool We should also note that we were supposed to stay for 5 nights but the electricity went out at the hotel on our 4th night so the fan in the room hadn't worked for hours so we ended up leaving and staying at the hotel nearby. The new hotel was $30 more a night and 10x better.

Lovely stay on Bisma
Wonderful stay with Nik and his family. Frangipani is far away enough from town to avoid the worst of the noise, yet close enough that I walked most everywhere. There is a shortcut to the monkey forest area that is not visible on most maps, and Jl. Bisma is quite close to the palace, Penastanan, and plenty of good restaurants. More connected to real life in Ubud than many resorts. Was never woken by roosters and staff were incredibly helpful and kind. There were a couple windows in my room that didn't close completely and when I talked to Nik about them they were fixed the same day. Rooms cleaned daily, beautiful garden. Apparently a pool is coming soon. Originally booked a week and decided to stay for two. Has to be one of the best deals in Ubud. Would stay again.

Disappointing even if the staff tried to help
Booked for 3 people and paid extra for it but nothing was ready when arrived and got an inflated extra matress that got deflated during the night... The staff is trying to be helpful overall but the room is just not what was expected. The interior garden and quietness is very appreciated though. Need some improvement overall to meet the presented features.

On recommande.!
Petit hôtel sympa, cosy, pas trop de chambres mais juste ce qu'il faut, propre et confort. Service pr le tour du mont Batur à un prix intéressant. Quelques fourmis dans la chambre mais comme partout à bali. Très bon petit dej (pancake à la banane !). Bien localisé, un peu en dehors de la circulation et près des rizières, aller manger au black pearl juste a côté (top, pas cher et très bon service) et se faire masser chez lily dans la rue à un prix très démocratique pour un travail très professionnel (je recommande !). Ubud reste un très bon point pour sillonner les lieux touristiques aux environs et permet d'avoir un large choix de restaurants le soir. Nous y sommes restés 4nuits. Piscine petite mais suffisante pour se rafraîchir, pas d'horaire (sympa :-)).

Tolles Hotel trotz Baustelle beim Nachbar!
Das Hotel ist ruhig gelegen, bei uns war leider eine Baustelle auf dem Nachbar Grundstück, jedoch machen die Arbeiter sehr pünktlich Feierabend was die Sache sehr entspannt hat. Die Betreiber sind sehr freundlich und jederzeit um das Wohl der Gäste bemüht! Bei fragen bezüglich Transit zum Flughafen oder bei der Motorroller Miete stehen Sie mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Der Pool ist großartig das einzige was fehlt ist eine Klimaanlage im Zimmer, dafür arbeitet der Ventilator sehr gut. Vielen Dank das ich ihr gast sein durfte. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Lars Burhenne Vielen Dank nochmal für die frangipani Ableger! The hotel is in a quiet location, with us was unfortunately a construction site on the neighboring property, but the workers make very late work which has made things very relaxed. The operators are very friendly and always endeavored for the well-being of the guests! If you have questions regarding transit to the airport or renting a scooter, you will be happy to help. The pool is great the only thing missing is air conditioning in the room, the fan works very well for that. Thank you that I was allowed to be your guest. Sincerely, Lars Burhenne Thank you again for the frangipani offshoot!

Black comedy
It was fun to meet such a rude manager who dares to talk and act provocatively to his guests. Probably he can be polite to any guest who is eager to join some tours and pay more money to him. I knew why he deliberately behaved like dumb. He wanted to scare me away soon and get new guests instead, just because I didn't request any tour and drop extra money. He deliberately called me 'Kim' right after he asked my name, rubbed my foot with his mop, disturbed me in swimming pool twice. bluntly said goodbye when I checked out. He never said thank you. Deluxe room is just simple and uncomfortable, good furnitures were wasted, cleaning is rough, towels are stained, pillows are also stained and smelly, windows and hot water pots were partly broken.The manager's uncle and owner were rather wild either.

Knarrig säng och klängig personal
Ubud har mycket att erbjuda, vilket var bra eftersom vi knappt ville vara på hotellet. Sängen knarrade extremt mycket, handdukarna byttes inte på hela veckans vistelse och personalen försökte sälja in dyra aktiviter som man kan hitta billigare själv.

Fantastiskt
Världens mysigaste homestay! Om ni ska till Ubud så bara MÅSTE ni bo här! De hjälpte oss med allt. De körde oss en heldag för att vi skulle kunna kolla på vattenfall, risterassen och kaffeprovning. De serverade frukosten på vår uteplats och de har en svalkande liten pool. Personalen var några av de trevligaste personerna vi träffat på våra 3 månader i Asien. Det ligger på gångavstånd från Monkey forest och den centrala delen av Ubud, men ändå tillräckligt långt borta för att set ska vara alldeles lugnt och tyst. Ett av de bästa ställena vi bott på!

Mysigt hotell
Hotellet hade en vacker lummig trädgård som gav ett trevligr helthetsintryck. Hotellrummen var rymliga, iskall pool, good frukost och hotellvärdarna var trevliga. Det negativa med hotellet var överkommligt och så som att sängen var hård(något som är standard i Asien), och att hotellvärden var väldigt intensiv i att försöka sälja biljetter och utflykter.

Schöne Unterkunft
Die Unterkunft war sehr schön. Wir hatten eines der Zimmer im Obergeschoss. Dadurch hatten wir einen wunderschönen Blick in den kleinen aber schicken Garten der Familie. Das Zimmer ist groß und mit allem nötigen eingerichtet. Bei der Sauberkeit konnten wir nichts bemängeln. Kleiner schöner Pool zum abfrischen ist auch dabei. Die Familie konnte unsere Fragen alle beantworten und half uns sogar bei der Planung unserer weiteren Reise durch Bali. An einem Tag zeigten Sie uns mit Ihrem privat Auto die Sehenswürdigkeiten rund um Ubud, was uns auch sehr gefallen hat. Das Frühstück war schön angerichtet und ausreichend. Alles in allem können wir dieses Hotel wirklich empfehlen.

Хороший отель, очень маленький. Ухоженная территория, маленький бассейн на два лежака, который был очень кстати в жару. Расположение отличное. Все понравилось, только вентилятор у нас в номере почти не работал. Продлили проживание на несколько дней, посмотрели в районе другие варианты за эти деньги, этот отель оказался лучший.
