Iād highly recommend staying here. Itās a quiet and a very pretty hotel. The staff are lovely, friendly and attentive to guestsā needs. The breakfast was great (see photo).The wifi works well. There was a usb socket in my room in case you donāt have the correct plug. I paid my bill by card, however there are several ATMs just up the road (north) should you need cash. Thereās a mini mart and a bigger supermarket nearby.I would have stayed here longer if I could. The massage therapist Siska is wonderful as well. Itās very safe here, the security measures are good.If yoga is your thing (or even if not) the fab Yoga Barn is next door and if you donāt have time for a class, there was a yoga mat in my bedroom.

We stayed 4 nights in this establishment, it is a luxury hotel for Bali, the location is exceptional, central and at the same time silent. The breakfasts are very generous, the staff is attentive and gives good advice for activities and visits. We were in the suite with a view of the swimming pool from the balcony. It was really a lovely stay, I would happily return to this hotel in Ubud.

A wonderful surprise and a hidden treasure as I was seeking accomodation which was relaxed, peaceful and quiet.The staff are so helpful and friendly and the Suite I had was exactly what I wanted. Spacious and clean, unpretentious and excellent value for money. Siska did my spa treatment and she was lovely and really good at what she does. I would highly recommend it and would definitely stay here again.

We had a lovely 5 night stay which was really relaxing. Fantastic staff, great location adjoining the Yoga Barn. Rooms very comfortable. Great breakfast and pool area. I also enjoyed a fabulous massage on location at the Ubud Aura Retreat Centre. All transfers organized through the hotel and all went smoothly.

While I normally stay away from the crowds and stay away from the hustle and bustle, I had a very pleasant stay here. The location is close to numerous restaurants and well known places in Ubud. To get to the hotel you need to go down a gang, or alley as we would call it. The rooms are quite small but adequate and clean. The washroom setup in my room was a little unorthodox but was fine. Complimentary snack and even a can of coke is a nice touch. The beds and pillows were great and the mosquito net, while not needed was also a great touch. The pool is also nice and the staff was great. I didnāt eat breaky or an anything as I was basically on a stopover.

Ubud Aura is such a beautiful, calm sanctuary away from the bustle of the Ubud City. The kindness of the staff, the care of the beautiful rooms and attention to detail is exceptional. It is well located near The Yoga Barn and many restaurants. The breakfast is fresh and delicious. The massage at the spa was amazing leaving us feel very relaxed.Thank you so much for making our stay relaxing and memorable.

Wonderful place to stay in Ubud. Itās a little oasis just off one of the main roads. Itās very close to Yoga Barn so you can pop in for an early morning yoga class very easily. The rooms were lovely and the service brilliant. The staff are so helpful and friendly. The breakfasts are delicious. I had a foot spa and treatment with Siska, which was amazing. I would definitely recommend and stay here again.

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 Sallyās 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 didnāt have a balcony, it shared a large glassed in area with other rooms on the level, which had a table, lounge and library. On arrival we were pleasantly surprised to see some complimentary packets of biscuits and snacks as well as a can of soft drink in the room - a really nice, and much appreciated gesture. Breakfast, included in our room rate, was a la carte, and served in the dining area down by the pool. There were about 9 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 āYoga Barnā 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), but thatās really just a personal opinion.

I had by far the best massage I have had whilst I've been in Bali and then a scrub with a ginger, galanega, cinnamon and loves and corrinder mixture and then a beautiful bath with lots of organic local herbs including ginger. Siska is the masseuse. She is wonderful.The price is very reasonable for the quality. No comparison to the massages you get in the street shops.I highly recommend it.Nerolie

Quite little oasis in central Ubud. Great value for money.Only lost a star because of the late breakfast (starts only at 8am). We were later told that they could accommodate earlier starts but somehow this options was only offered to other Europeans guests and not us.

The place is nice but it's a bit difficult to get into the hotel because the road is narrow and the motorbike parking is on the side of the road so it's hard for the car to get in

Deep tissue massage was fantastic! I would get another one if we were not flying out. Location is perfect, right in the center of Ubud and easy walking to everything. Staff is great and breakfast is very fresh and delicious. AC is nice and cold and bed is comfortable what more do you need. Great stay, we could certainly come back.

Very nice accommodation, very clean, large room and with a nice pool. Very good breakfast. Loving employees. Great location (on a small side street away from the noise of Ubud, in the evening you could easily walk to restaurants and shops from here).We would definitely recommend it!
