Aurora House Ubud

I went to the hotel to check in, but they don't have a reception area, so I went walking around looking for someone to help me. I called the hotel number but nobody answered. After ten or fifteen minutes, a lady showed up and told me to go to the back where I found someone. She showed me to my room. The hotel doesn't provide drinking water, nor shampoo, soap, sandals, and slippers. There was a hole in the roof of the bathroom, and the curtains don't cover the full area of the window, so one can not get full privacy. The showerhead was rusty. In the morning at 7:30 I checked out and I left the key in the door as there is no reception area. I was told that breakfast is served at 8:00 so I left. When I came back after 8 a.m., there was no breakfast, and I had to ask again. After breakfast, I left but told them that I would leave my bag there and pick it up later. They told me to leave it outside. When I came back I couldn't find my bag and I asked where it was, they said it was in the kitchen. I went to get it. A man there asked me where the key was. I said I left it in the door. They accused me of losing it and told me to pay 50000. I said I'm not paying. They said that the key was missing from the morning. I asked they why they didn't mention it before. The man told me to see that's it's not there. I said it's almost 1:30pm. It's ridiculous that you can't find the key now when I checked out at 7:30 am and expect me to pay for it.

The location is great, surrounded by a lot of shops and restaurants. The main attractions is only around the corner i.e., Ubud Palace, Pasar Ubud and etc. The only downside was the AC is not too cold, there’s no hot shower and the shower is not that good. Other than that, it was a good stay for a backpackers.

Friendly, convenience clean

Nice spot located at the heart of Ubud perfect for short stay the owner is amazing ! Nice vibes but more for solo travel.

Nice place to crash in the middle of the action in Ubud

Excellent location but hard to find at first. It's at the end of an arts & crafts market @ Arjuna Lane. A stone's throw away from an Indonesian cafe, a Chinese dumplings eatery, mini Mart, Guardian pharmacy, money changer, Starbucks etc. Walking distance to Ubud Palace, Campuhan Ridge Walk, Saraswati Temple and shopping streets along Jalan Hanoman. Be sure to walk through Jalan Kajeng arts & crafts market. There's a gradual climb to another village and lo and behold, you'll see beautiful rice paddies in a natural environment (not the commercial one where you have to queue to pay IDR50k to take photos). Haha. The owners and staff were overloaded. Unable to attend to guests promptly. Overall, still value for money though. Safe and happy travelling ! dd :)
