Alam Shanti Ubud

Our 4h stay at Alam Shanti. One of my favourite places on the planet! Beautiful gardens, traditional decor, very spacious, lovely friendly staff, great location away from busy area, but easy walk if you want to shop. Plenty of close by eating options. Cannot say a bad word about Alam Shanti!!

A hotel with great charm. Located in a quiet area. 50 min walk to the center or 5 euros by taxi. The facilities are old but very decent. The staff is incredible; just for them it is already worth going.

My Fiancé and I spent 9 days at Alam Shanti, and we had a wonderful time. The accommodations were comfortable with a huge bathroom in the room with plenty of space in the bedroom. We remembered to bring our adapters for the 220 outlets, so we had no problem charging our phones. The property is about 100 yards off of the main road so is very quiet and tranquil. The staff was magnificent and the friendliest I have experienced at any hotel I've stayed at. Truly the Balinese people have grace and friendship in their DNA. There are many great restaurants a short walking distance away, so food is never a problem. You can get anything from pizza, French, Vietnamese and of course, Indonesian food and it was all very good. The prices are very reasonable, and our service experience was top notch anywhere we went. The pool was secluded and adequately large. Breakfast was included in our stay and was very good. It was a simple menu, but service was prompt. There are great breakfast options 5 minutes away as well if you want to change up. The only problem with the stay was the traffic. Traffic on Bali, including Ubud is quite bad. The roads are not good and there are not many sidewalks to walk around on. Town is close but it is an adventure to walk there. Often walking is faster than driving or shuttle though. You have to account for an extra hour to hour and a half to get anywhere that is aways away especially the airport. Despite this, everyone seems to go with the flow. Overall, the property was a great value and the staff was magnificent. They arranged a few excursions for us and none of them disappointed. Also, the prices were outstandingly inexpensive. We loved this place and hope to return to Bali in the future.
