Top Hotels Near Saraswati Temple in Ubud from NZ$25

"Positives – Location is good to access other amenities such several good restaurants that are very reasonable, and temples to visit. The hotel had lush green gardens and a clean swimming pool. The craft market is across the road from the hotel. Negatives - The first room we had booked was terrible with a leaky toilet wetting the bathroom floor. Sheets were worn and stained, my wife refused to sleep in the bed and eventually slept with her clothes on. Access to this room was difficult and down some very steep stairs. The room was in a general state of disrepair but as we arrived very late we waited till the morning to ask for a room change and was given another room which was marginally better and paid an extra £20. This had new bedding and was a bigger room with a balcony. However, the bathroom sink tap leaked and was hard to operate and the shower area needed a deep clean. The alleyway to the hotel was littered with open refuse sacks every day when we were there, which is very off putting, and we fed this back to them. We didn’t mind the place being a little ‘tired’ but the lack of cleanliness disappointing. If more attention was paid to the cleanliness this would be a good hotel to stay at. "

"Had a great time, beautiful room and private swimming pool, excellent breakfast and service."

"I really enjoyed my stay here. Staff were lovely. Central location was perfect for getting around Ubud. The pool was a great amenity, property is well taken care of. There is live music at a nearby restaurant a few nights a week. The music is acoustic, never went beyond 10pm, and the sound was reduced if you close the bathroom door. I didn’t find this to be an issue/disruptive during my stay. The only improvement I would recommend would be for the bathroom (floor, counter, and sink) to be more thoroughly cleaned. I had an extra pair of flip flops so I just wore them in the bathroom during my stay. The bedroom area and patio were very clean. "

"The stay at Maya was nice and the area was beautiful. The Villas are very peaceful as well as the whole property. There is a nice calm feeling at this resort as it feels secluded even though it is very close to the downtown Ubud area. The live performances at dinner were a fun addition; if that be the traditional dancing at the main restaurant or the band doing cover songs at the bar. We are giving Maya 4 stars rather than 5 because a lot of the amenities stopped between 5 and 7 which created multiple inconvenient experiences on trip. For example, the tram is a great amenity that takes guests to downtown Ubud but it only runs from 9am to 5pm. This is such an early time to be shutting down this amenity. In addition the pools and spa close at 7pm which seems very early. Regardless of the amenities, this was a very nice resort to have some calm and just be."

"Conveniently located on a street parallel to the main drag with restaurants and shops but a third of the traffic. There’s scooter hire and trip agents as well as a convenience store within a minutes walk.great staff and food. Breakfast has eggs cooked to your liking with bacon, sausage, various Indonesian options as well as fresh melon, toast, pastries, cereals, fresh milk and juices so great options. Room has good WiFi ok TV with some English channels, 2 pools available. Only downside is lots of steps as built on land that was terraced rice paddies and awkward access for taxis/drivers. The free afternoon tea was great as was the one meal we ate on site (we loved Warung Ning if you want a truly authentic Balinese meal)"

"We had a wonderful 7-day stay at Alaya! The staff was amazing- always ready to help make our stay comfortable. Housekeeping was done twice a day. Breakfast was excellent and included both a buffet and a menu to order from. They customized many options for us to vegetarian versions. The hotel also arranged day trips for us with a personal driver for sightseeing. Yoga Barn was nextdoor so it was an easy walk back after an evening class. There were many restaurants for dinner options within walking distance. I would highly recommend Alaya to anyone visiting Ubud."

"This 48 room hotel is amazing and a hidden gem in Ubud. Close to everything and on a quiet street, the staff is so helpful and they offer a unique experience. Many included programs to learn and experience Balinese culture. A pristine infinity pool I could swim laps in as others also enjoyed the pool. Plus breakfast, included and top notch. Fresh everything, so many choices and the most amazing surroundings to enjoy the food peacefully. "

"Large room by the pool was amazing, felt private and relaxed because of the design of hotel. Very close to monkey forest and shops/restaurants. Staff all very friendly and kind. Had massage on arrival which was amazing. "
