About Puri Padi

Puri Padi is a small three-star guesthouse-style hotel tucked away on Jalan Hanoman in central Ubud, Bali. It has just seven air-conditioned rooms in traditional Balinese style, each opening onto a lush garden courtyard and an adjoining outdoor pool (puri-padi-ubud.ubudhotelsnow.com) (wanderlog.com). Reviewers describe Puri Padi as a “tranquil paradise” where guests are serenaded by birdsong despite being close to the busy town center (wanderlog.com). The property is family-run and recently refreshed by new management, who have preserved its carved wooden balconies and teak-and-rattan decor – one guest praised the “Balinese style” rooms and “very detailed carvings” on the spacious balconies (www.tripadvisor.co.uk) (www.tripadvisor.co.uk). Its name (Puri Padi can be roughly translated as a “rice kingdom” in Balinese) is reflected in the surrounding rice paddies and green gardens. In short, Puri Padi offers a quiet, local retreat atmosphere with friendly staff and traditional architecture, rather than a high-rise commercial feel (wanderlog.com) (www.tripadvisor.co.uk).

Events and Programming

As a boutique hotel rather than a dedicated performance hall, Puri Padi does not host nightly shows or concerts of its own. However, it has become part of Ubud’s cultural life through the BaliSpirit Festival – a large annual event celebrating yoga, dance, and music. For example, the BaliSpirit Festival (May 2022 and planned again in 2025) used Puri Padi as its main entrance and satellite venue (www.balispiritfestival.com) (www.balispiritfestival.com). During the festival, workshops, music concerts and dance performances spill into the hotel’s grounds, and guests can weave through the hotel to reach events at the adjacent Yoga Barn center (www.balispiritfestival.com) (www.balispiritfestival.com). Outside of festival season, visitors at Puri Padi can easily walk (about 10–15 minutes) or take a short taxi to Ubud’s regular nightly cultural shows – for example, traditional Balinese dance performances at the Ubud Palace or nearby temple stages. In this way, staying at Puri Padi grants quick access to Ubud’s rich program of dance, gamelan and Kecak performances, even though the hotel itself does not have a fixed schedule of shows.

Booking and Pricing

Rooms at Puri Padi can be booked directly through the hotel or via any major hotel or travel site. Because it’s a small property, it pays to reserve well in advance during high season (July–August and major holidays). Rates are generally very budget-friendly for Ubud. For example, one travel listing shows the lowest rates around RM85 per night (approximately ¥20 or $20 USD) (www.kayak.com.my) – often around IDR 300,000–400,000. These rates typically include a simple breakfast (often toast, eggs, coffee/tea) in the morning (www.tripadvisor.co.uk). Guests have noted that breakfast “is also included in the price” (www.tripadvisor.co.uk), and the hotel provides free Wi-Fi and a daily breakfast in the on-site restaurant as part of the room package (puri-padi-ubud.ubudhotelsnow.com) (www.tripadvisor.co.uk). As with any booking, cancellation and payment policies can vary by rate or site – many bookings offer free cancellation until a few days before check-in. For the best rates and availability, check multiple booking platforms and consider contacting the hotel directly; rooms can sell out during festivals and prime travel months.

Rooms and Layout

All of Puri Padi’s rooms are on the ground floor and open onto a common garden and pool deck (www.booking.com). In fact, the property advertising notes that “all units are on ground floor, all units accessible by wheelchair” (www.booking.com). The layout is a U-shaped bungalow with the outdoor swimming pool in the center surrounded by frangipani trees and tropical plants. Standard rooms are about 25 m² with a private patio facing the garden; higher-tier “Deluxe” or “Superior” rooms offer balconies with views of the pool and garden, as described in the room listings (www.booking.com). Each room features Balinese-style wood furniture, tiled floors, and a teak-carved balcony or terrace. Rooms include amenities like hot-water tank, coffee/tea making kit, refrigerator (mini-bar), flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom with a shower and bathtub (puri-padi-ubud.ubudhotelsnow.com). The reviewers note a few details: some rooms have limited natural light and need the shutter closed for privacy, but the atmosphere is airy and bright thanks to the open design (www.tripadvisor.co.uk) (www.tripadvisor.co.uk). Overall, there are no steep staircases or separated floors – the entire guesthouse feels like one level around a pool, which both simplifies access and gives it a cozy lodge feel.

Getting There and Parking

Puri Padi’s address is **Jl. Hanoman, Padang Tegal, Ubud, Bali** (www.tripadvisor.com.my). This quiet street is just a block from the busiest part of Ubud. The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary is only about a 10–15 minute walk away (roughly 1 km) (www.tripadvisor.co.uk), as one traveler confirmed that it is “less than 15 mins walk to Monkey Forest Rd” (www.tripadvisor.co.uk). The Ubud Palace, central market, and main street of Jalan Raya Ubud are also within a 15–20 minute walk or a few minutes by scooter/taxi. For airport arrival at Ngurah Rai (Denpasar Airport), plan on a 30–50 minute taxi ride (about 33 km). Rome2Rio estimates a taxi from Puri Padi to the airport takes ~32 minutes and costs around IDR 300,000–370,000 (about $20–$25) (www.rome2rio.com). The hotel itself does not run an airport shuttle, so most guests arrange a taxi or private transfer on arrival. If you prefer public shuttle: Bali’s “Kura-Kura Bus” tourist shuttle has a stop at Coco Supermarket on Ubud’s main Hanoman Street (kura2bus.com), which is only a short walk from Puri Padi. Puri Padi provides **free on-site parking** for guests who arrive by car (www.tripadvisor.com.my). There are a few spaces beside the courtyard. A motorbike taxi (ojek) or rideshare (Gojek/Grab) can also drop guests at the hotel’s gate on Jl. Hanoman. Ubud has no formal public transit like trains, so beyond the Kura-Kura bus, most visitors rely on rented scooters or cars with drivers for getting around. Many sights in central Ubud can be reached on foot from Puri Padi, but scooters or taxis are handy for temple visits and farther attractions.

On-Site Facilities and Atmosphere

Upon entering Puri Padi, guests encounter a peaceful tropical courtyard centered on the large outdoor pool. The main lobby/reception is small and informal; expect friendly Balinese hospitality rather than strict formalities. Check-in is generally from mid-afternoon (around 2 PM) and check-out by late morning (often by noon), though you should confirm times with reception. The staff (one review calls them “wonderful and kind”) staffs the desk over 24 hours (wanderlog.com), so late-night arrivals are no problem. Guests praise the warm service (“go above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay”) (wanderlog.com). Inside the hotel, the vibe is tranquil. The courtyard garden and pool area act as a communal living room. Sun loungers and umbrellas border the pool, and the air is filled with birdsong and frangipani scents (wanderlog.com). The property advertises bikes for rent if you want to explore by bicycle (puri-padi-ubud.ubudhotelsnow.com). Pool towels and lounge furniture are provided. Housekeeping cleans rooms daily. The hotel has an on-site **restaurant** serving both Indonesian and international dishes (puri-padi-ubud.ubudhotelsnow.com) (puri-padi-ubud.ubudhotelsnow.com). Breakfast (usually a buffet or set of eggs/toasts and fruit) is served there each morning – one reviewer even noted that breakfast was included (www.tripadvisor.co.uk). Guests can also get simple snacks and drinks in the evening. There is no full bar, but cold beverages and Balinese coffee are available. Outside drinks or food are allowed to be eaten on the patio. Free Wi-Fi covers the entire property, including in the pool area (puri-padi-ubud.ubudhotelsnow.com), though some guests prefer walking outside to get a stronger signal on their patio. For security, Puri Padi is gated and quiet. There’s no metal detector or bag check – it feels like a private courtyard. The only form of “coat check” is the reception desk, which can hold luggage before check-in or after check-out. Standard safety: rooms have locks, and a safe deposit box is presumably available on request. The hotel is very clean and well-maintained. (Do note one review mentioned some dinginess in an old shower, but overall cleanliness is good given the price (www.tripadvisor.co.uk) (www.tripadvisor.co.uk).) Mosquitoes can appear at dusk by the pool – the hotel often has repellant spray available.

Nearby Amenities and Attractions

Puri Padi’s location is a big convenience for visitors. It sits amidst Ubud’s rich assortment of temples, museums, restaurants and shops. Within a few blocks (roughly half a kilometer) you’ll find the famous Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary – a must-visit monkey habitat and temple complex (open daily). Across from the monkey forest is the classic Puri Saren Ubud (Ubud Palace), where nightly Balinese dance performances take place in the outdoor courtyard. Many guests enjoy seeing an evening show there; it is only a short walk from Puri Padi. Other nearby cultural sites include the Puri Lukisan Museum of Balinese Art and the Agung Rai Art Museum, both within a 10–15 minute walk. Lesser-known gems nearby are the I Wayan Karja Gallery (0.3 mi) and the famous family compound of modern artist Arie Smit (1 km) (www.tripadvisor.com.my). For dining, a wide range is at your doorstep. All along Hanoman Street there are casual warungs (food stalls), coffee shops, and restaurants open from breakfast through late night. Highly recommended spots just steps away include **Bale Udang Mang Engking** (waterfront seafood with lakeside views), **Lumbung Restaurant** (open-air Balinese seafood), and **Ibu Susu Bar & Kitchen** (Indonesian family-style meals) (www.tripadvisor.com.my) – all within two blocks. Guests frequently mention these eateries by name. The famous “Dirty Duck” crispy duck restaurant (Bebek Bengil) is also about a 5–10 minute walk. For quick bites or Western options, the Plainville Cafe and dairy-free Ice Cream stalls on Jalan Hanoman are popular. A 5-minute walk will bring you to Ubud’s main street (Jalan Raya Ubud), which has numerous bistros, art shops and nightlife spots (like the barefoot Rendezvous bar). Late-night transport is easy: Ubud has plenty of taxis and motorbike taxis roaming the streets, and rideshare apps (Grab/Gojek) work reliably. If you’re planning to stay out late after dinner or events, know that there are no late-night buses, but rideshare or pre-booked private drivers are available 24/7 in Ubud. ATM machines, money changers, and small convenience stores (like Coco Supermarket) are nearby on Hanoman and Jalan Raya for any last-minute needs.

What Makes Puri Padi Special

Unlike a polished city hotel, Puri Padi’s charm lies in its authentic Balinese personality and quiet garden setting. Several factors make it stand out: - **Traditional Balinese Ambiance:** The cottages feature carved teak balconies, alang-alang (thatched) roofs and abundant tropical foliage. Guests note “beautiful large balconies with very detailed carvings” (www.tripadvisor.co.uk). The style is distinctly Balinese, full of warm wood and stone, which gives a sense of place that large chain hotels lack (www.tripadvisor.co.uk) (www.tripadvisor.co.uk). - **Oasis Atmosphere:** Amid busy Ubud, the property feels like a private oasis. Sparrow-sized tourist commentaries highlight how it is a “tranquil paradise” filled with birdsong (wanderlog.com). The pool and garden are surrounded by frangipani and bamboo, so it’s easy to forget you’re in town. Everywhere you walk on-site, you hear nature and see greenery. This lush serenity consistently earns praise from guests (wanderlog.com) (www.tripadvisor.co.uk). - **Community and Cultural Connection:** Though small, Puri Padi has linked itself to Bali’s cultural events. Being chosen as a venue for BaliSpirit Festival connects it with a global yoga and arts community. Its proximity to the Yoga Barn (one entrance is effectively through the hotel (www.balispiritfestival.com)) means that yoga retreats and meditation workshops often cascade into its grounds. Many visiting artists and yogis have enjoyed the hotel’s hospitality. In essence, it’s a gateway to one of Ubud’s most famous cultural hubs. - **Friendly Local Hospitality:** The staff at Puri Padi are repeatedly described as warm and helpful. One review states the team goes “above and beyond” even late at night (wanderlog.com). This personal service – including concierge help and local tips – makes Puri Padi feel more like staying at a friendly homestay than an impersonal resort (wanderlog.com) (www.tripadvisor.co.uk). - **Quiet Location:** Jalan Hanoman is notably quieter than the more tourist-packed Monkey Forest Road. Travelers appreciate that Puri Padi is centrally situated yet sits down a side street, giving guests a peaceful night’s sleep while still being a short walk from restaurants and attractions (www.tripadvisor.co.uk). Together, these qualities – a blend of traditional design, a garden setting, participation in local culture, and genuine Balinese warmth – give Puri Padi a strong sense of character. It’s popular among budget-conscious travelers who value authenticity, as well as yoga and music enthusiasts drawn by the BaliSpirit connection.

Visitor Tips and Information

- **Accessibility:** All rooms are on the ground floor and reachable by ramp, so the hotel is fully wheelchair-accessible (www.booking.com). Common areas and the pool deck are also flat. There are no stairs or second floors, which might help families with strollers or anyone with mobility needs. - **What to Pack:** Bring bathwear if you plan to use the pool (towels are provided). Insect repellent is smart for evenings by the pool or jungle-like garden. While the rooms are air-conditioned (puri-padi-ubud.ubudhotelsnow.com), hallway and outdoor areas are not – so pack light, breathable clothing for daytime. Shoes are not needed inside rooms or the pool area, as slippers or bare feet are normal. Guests often remove shoes to relax by the pool. - **Room Essentials:** Rooms have tea/coffee-making facilities and a mini-fridge (puri-padi-ubud.ubudhotelsnow.com). Complimentary bottled water is usually provided daily; additional chilled water is sold by the reception. The hotel supplies soap and shampoo, but some guests prefer to bring their own if staying longer. - **Wi-Fi / Connectivity:** Free Wi-Fi covers the entire property (rooms and outdoor areas) (puri-padi-ubud.ubudhotelsnow.com). It is generally reliable for email and social media, though large downloads might be slow. Cell reception is decent in Ubud, so local SIM cards or mobile data also work well for navigation and rideshare apps. - **Breakfast and Meals:** Breakfast is included in most room rates (www.tripadvisor.co.uk) and is served at the on-site restaurant. It typically includes toast, eggs, coffee/tea, and fruit. If you have an early event (like a sunrise yoga), request an earlier breakfast or packed snack. The restaurant also offers lunch and dinner menus, but most guests explore the many nearby restaurants for big meals. - **Housekeeping:** Daily room cleaning is included. Turndown service is not offered (rooms remain simple in the evening). Towels are changed every few days. There is no formal laundry on-site, but staff can recommend local laundry services. - **Safety and Rules:** Puri Padi has basic hotel rules: quiet hours after around 10 PM, no loud music. Smoking is allowed only in outdoor common areas (rooms are non-smoking). Guests are responsible for their valuables (a small safe is usually available in the office). The pool is unsupervised, so swim at your own risk. - **Family Travel:** The hotel is child-friendly. Rooms accommodate up to 2 adults and 1 child (up to age 17) (www.booking.com). (Children 18 and over count as adults for pricing (www.booking.com).) Kids enjoy the gardens and pool. No extra fees are charged for children in a room with parents, but confirm bed arrangements when booking. - **Cultural Etiquette:** Ubud is a spiritual town. Respect local customs by dressing modestly when visiting temples (sarongs and sashes are often provided at temple entrances). Remove shoes inside rooms. The staff and housekeepers are very friendly; a simple “om swastiastu” (hello) greets will be warmly received. - **Insider Tip:** Sit by the pool veranda at sunset for a free performance of swirling Dusun-style sunset drumming (often local youths will drum to attract dinner guests). Alternatively, ask the concierge about any impromptu temple processions or dance rehearsals in nearby community halls – Ubud often has spontaneous local performances.
