This is a delightful hotel in the heart of Ubud and is a part of the Water Palace (guests get free access). The Art Market, the King's Palace and the city square are a couple of minutes walk away. There's no shortage of restaurants, with our favourite one, Nusa literally across the road. The rooms are big enough, very quaint and have modern amenities. The reception and restaurant staff are welcoming and professional. The in house catering is very good, although there is no room service.
Access to various tourist attractions, near and far are easy, because of its central location.
The traffic can't be avoided anywhere on Bali, so that's something you have to live with. The only disappointment was the very expensive in house spa. Had this been more competitively priced we would have used it, rather than going to outside spas. However, apart from this, everything else was very enjoyable and reasonably priced.
