I stayed in 5 different hotels in Ubud and this one was my favourite.It is an older, traditional style hotel with lovely gardens and overlooks the rice fields. There are 2 swimming pools, with plenty of loungers. There is a restaurant and spa on-site. I did not use the spa, so can't comment. The location is so perfect, right on Monkey Forest Road, but once you are inside the property, you don't hear the noise from the road. The pool at the bottom of the property overlooks rice fields.I stayed in room 321 which overlooks the first pool. The room was quite dark but this meant it was nice and cool during the day. The towels and bedding were clean and fresh-smelling. There are signs in the room that you can put up if you want the staff to change the towels and/or bedding. They are trying to be eco-concious and I think it's great. There was mosquito plug-in plus tablets provided - very convenient. The water pressure in the shower was not great. They provided hand towels, whch is something that most hotels don't seem to do and I was very appreciative of that. The WiFi was good. Beautiful, friendly staff.We had a troop of monkeys visit us one morning; which was a bit unnerving but they ventured off quite quickly.Now the big thing: the NOISE from the club next door. While I was aware that there might be noise, based on previoius reviews, I honestly did not think it would be as loud as it was. It sounded as if the DJ was standing outside my door. The first night I was awake until 2am, and the next 2 nights, probably till about 1am. Having said that, I stayed in the very first block, which I think gets the most noise. I think if you stayed down towards the bottom, it might be less. But even so, I still rate this hotel as my best one - despite the noise.

Very beautiful garden and swimming pool.Excellent location in central Ubud.Mediocre restaurant.Attention bar with live music every evening until 11:00 p.m. next to the hotel.We asked to change rooms after the 1 night.Room 307 at the end of the garden, much quieter.Now Ubud has changed a lot, a lot of tourists and traffic, too bad!!!!!

We stayed 5 nights at Cendana Resort. Quiet, soothing place, very well located in the city center but in the heart of a rice field which totally disconnects us. Very helpful and smiling staff. Breakfast at around €4, copious and sufficient. Cleaning can be done every day (which is not obligatory) but they will in any case bring you towels and bottles of water every morning. Little extra, towels available at the swimming pool.

Only those who are prepared to play all night long are welcome.Live cafe music can be heard in the room until midnight, and after that, EDM sounds fill the air.Zero soundproofing.Although it is a cost-effective accommodation, it is not clean.However, it might be a good accommodation for people who play at night and sleep during the day.

Perfectly located in the heart of the city. Everything is in the immediate vicinity.The pools are very clean and the water even unheated was good.Breakfast is ok.However, be careful of the bar located next door which causes strong noise pollution in the evening. The bathroom in the room has openings that let noise through...But it's still good value for money and the location really makes the difference.
