A couple of minor things, but we are nitpicking here: - the small room safe was not bolted down and someone could easily tuck it under their arm and walk out with it. - the bed and pillows could have been a bit more comfortable; they were both a little firm.

My wife and I spent 4 nights at the Aura ( our first stay there), in a Superior Double Room. As others have said, the hotel is situated about 300 metres down a single car laneway (a little rough in spots), off the main road; look out for the hotel sign up high above the one for Sally’s restaurant. It is a peaceful oasis, with very little, if any, traffic noise, a lovely albeit cool and reasonably deep pool (no kids area), beautiful gardens and pond (with fish), and an open dining area. Our room was up a flight of stairs, on the first floor. It was beautifully furnished, had a nice hot shower, and a canopy bed. Although it didn’t have a balcony, it shared a large glassed in area with other rooms on the level, which had a table, lounge and library. Breakfast, included in our room rate, was a la carte, and served in the dining area down by the pool. There were about 6 options to choose from, all the ones we tried being really tasty and well presented. You could also help yourself to a selection of fruits, a couple of different fruit drinks, and coffee or tea. Free afternoon tea was also available each day, but nothing to really write home about. We were fortunate too to be given a free 15 minute foot massage at the on site spa. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Aura, and will definitely have it at the top of our list next time we are in Ubud. Location wise, it is perfect, a short walk to the large Coco supermarket, 10 mins or so walk to Monkey Forest, and with many restaurants nearby. The “Yoga Barn” is also next door and is a must visit to check out the incredible buildings and gardens, even if you are not into yoga. A big call out too to all staff at the Aura for their friendliness and help. A couple of minor things, but we are nitpicking are: - the small room safe was not bolted down and someone could easily tuck it under their arm and walk out with it. - the bed and pillows could have been a bit more comfortable; they were both a little firm.

Perhaps a silly thing, but lattes and cappuccinos are not included in the breakfast, you have to pay extra. And I did, every day, because the filtered coffee was pretty average

Nice resort, very chilled. The carp in the water was a nice touch. Surprisingly close to the centre, considering it is so quiet. Right beside the Yoga Barn. Nice place to centre yourself while in Ubud.

Breakfast is not such a thing, if you want to have something more you have to pay for it. Base is good anyway.

Ubud Aura is the most clean Hotel i've been in Bali. The position is PERFECT to see Ubud, the best you can find. Staff really kind and if you need help they will. Good laundry.

Its location is back from a busy road but so peaceful and relaxing. All of the staff are so friendly and kind. Sitting outside your room or by the pool is very relaxing. The spa is also wonderful to treat yourself and enjoy a lovely massage. Its location right next to yoga barn is also wonderful and very convenient.

The breakfast starts at 8am which is rather late. Despite repeated requests for an early bfast box we were told that it wasn't possible. But the next morning a group of European guests got their bfast at 7:30am. Not sure why we were not offered the same.

Nice serene spot and close enough to all the main points. Staff was warm and the atmosphere was very welcoming

There was a booking admin mixup which meant I had to change rooms half way through my stay which was annoying though the staff did their best to help. The hotel was a little difficult to find being down a narrow walkway that was not accessible by ordinary vehicle.

So happy we stayed here, so easy to explore Ubud on foot from the retreat and not have to deal with the traffic gridlock. The entire hotel is beautiful, from the open air reception to the carved doors and window of my room. Yoga Barn is next door with a huge variety of classes, events etc. We were sorry to leave.

1) I think breakfast starting at 8:00am is a bit late. I would expect at least 7:00am. 2) Just one thing happened at the very end of my stay at Aura Retreat that disappointed me. Seems like when I washed my hair, the red dye stained the white towels. Anyway, at check-out, the staff brought the stained towel to the front desk and showed it to me in front of other staff and guests, which was very embarrassing. They asked me to pay 10$ for the "ruined" towel, and of course I did, but I felt the way they handled the situation was unprofessional and humiliating. It was disappointing because I otherwise loved my stay at Aura Retreat.

I overall loved my stay at Aura Retreat. The staff was very nice and the room clean with a lovely view. The staff was very helpful and kindly accommodating all my requests (early check in; early breakfast at 7:30am because I had a walk tour at 8:00am).

There is a nice area to practice yoga above the spa. The yoga mats were not very clean. It would be good to have them cleaned regularly or keep a cleaning spray next to them for the guests to use.

Our stay was lovely and the property is beautiful. We especially enjoyed the pool and the breakfast. The inhouse spa is also nice and the staff has good massage techniques. The hotel is in a small street off the main road of Ubud town which helps to be away from all the noise and activity.

The WiFi, especially in rooms on the 2nd floor, is not great. 2 of our 3 rooms (including a “Suite”) were considerably more dated / older as the 3rd room we booked, which was only a “Studio”. The property needs to finish updating / renovating all the rooms to have a consistent quality and look/feel. The laundry prices are also crazy expensive. They charge by piece and not by Kilo; recommend finding other places to do laundry.

Great location, solid breakfast, and very helpful staff. They helped to organize transportation and tours. Some of the rooms are updated and are very modern. Beautiful swimming pool, and good value accommodations all-around.

The studio rooms were slightly boring, but very comfortable and clean. The grounds were slightly less spacious than expected from the photos, but still beautiful.

Incredible location! 50m down laneway from Yoga Barn and great central spot on Hanoman street. The breakfast was excellent, staff exceptional.

The staff of the hotel is one of the most kindest I ever met. I felt like at home :)

The standard coffee is bland. I recommend that you pay a small amount and order a latte.

The room was beautiful - especially with the floor to ceiling netting. Breakfast options were delicious and I like that it's all made to order vs a buffet. The pool is refreshing after a long day out!

There was a strange smell in the toilet.

The staff were incredible, really friendly and always giving the best service. The pool area was beautiful and very relaxing. Great location, nearby plenty of cafes and restaurants and just round the corner from the monkey forest. The hotel arranged bike rental for us. They also booked us on a sunrise trek up mount batur.

Nothing to not like!

Desi and her team were amazingly hospitable. They're super thoughtful and it shows the moment you're shown your room. They were even kind enough to offer me a free upgrade and if there's one thing you shouldn't miss it is they're delicious breakfasts. The area is very well located, while still staying quiet and peaceful.
