    It was for me to many people in one room. And a bit dirty place. And no hot water at all in the shower.

    Nice stuff.

    Having the bathroom inside the room can be quite challenging if you don't like to make noise to other people sleeping.

    Breakfast, beds are comfortable and nice curtain.

    The bathroom is inside the 10-bed dorm, so depending on the time you use it, there´s not much privacy. The mattress is not the most comfortable.

    Good quality price ratio and very good location Breakfast was included at the cafe next door, which was great Clean facilities The staff was helpful, as I was able to leave my luggage at the hostel for a couple of days while I was away without any trouble.

    Wouldn't recommend booking a tour through them! It was a bit disorganized and chaotic, and the "breakfast" and "lunch" they give you is so disappointing.

    Really well located! So many things to do around the hostel, you won't get bored. They offered a simple free breakfast in the morning if you wanted. Bathroom was in the room, which was nice. And the staff was so nice.

    Overall I would recommend this hostel, it's good value for the price, breakfast is included and served at the restaurant next door, the accomodation is pretty small, there's only one room with 10 beds. The shower/bathroom is located inside the room (can be loud and not the most convenient especially in the morning sometimes). There's no sign indicating the hostel, fortunately the locals know and the owner is always around. Great location, right in te center of the town, locker available.

    Only one toilet and one shower for 10 people to share. There is a fluffy blanket and the pillow was not firm (but that is a personal presence). The air con wasn’t always working so it could get a little warm in the room.

    Cosy beds which were nice and dark. Powerful and hot shower! Nice social area with free tea, coffee, water and a fridge. Great sink size with plug (I used it to hand wash some clothes) and there is also some drying hangers/ rails. Great location - within 5/10 minutes walk to the temple, markets, shops, restaurants and nice pedestrianised streets with lovely cafes/ shops etc. Great free breakfast (I had Nasi Goreng) and they were able to make a gluten free version for me! The staff were very friendly and welcoming!

    Breakfast at the restaurant next door is tasty, but the portion was a little too small for this breakfast lover.

    The location is right in the busy centre, close to restaurants, shops, the palace, etc. Staff is very friendly and helpful - they're happy to help with booking a shuttle bus, ferries and renting a scooter. The hostel with one room with AC and common area has a nice vibe.

    Unfortunately I couldn't sleep very well as the beds are pretty small but for this price no complaining!

    It's very basic but still spacious and clean. Gede is a true champ. I told him that I couldn't attend the breakfast in the morning as I was leaving too early and 10 minutes later he prepared me a breakfast to go box. Really appreciate this guy.

    It was difficult to find the entrance to the hostel because there's no sign that indicates the location. There's only one shower and toilet for the main room but it's inside the room so it's a little bit annoying if you're sleeping.

    The hostel is located so close from the most important temples and monkey forest. The area is plenty of restaurants, coffee shops and bars. Breakfast is basic (you can choose between 3 options) The room is clean and each bed has its own spacious locker, lamp and plug. Free water dispenser, coffee and tea for guests in the common area.

    Clean within the common Bali standard.

    excellent location in the city center. The receptionist Gede was very friendly and available for any questions. Breakfast is excellent in a Restaurant on the main street next to the hostel.

    Staff was friendly, however they overcharged me with the laundry service.

    Central location in Ubud, great breakfast in the café next to the hostel. Beds were comfortable with curtains. Ensuite bathroom was clean. Hot shower. Staff was friendly.
