Nicely designed hotel, varying rooms
Nice design of garden and pool, nicely located near Ubud
5.3
Within the same price range you can be lucky or unlucky with the room: nice balcony or a very small one. Bathroom rather poorly provided with oap etc.
Fan has too high speed and gives too much wind in the bedroom
Hotel Feature Tip:
Discuss beforehand what type of room you get

very nice hotel in lovely location
nice hillside location, shuttle bus into town works well, staff good
8
Had a lovely 5 days stay, room was good with a view over the valley. Pool only small and new tiles very slippery but water very refreshing after a days shopping. As resort in on the hillside there are a lot of steps down to lower rooms and swimming pool but it helps us older people keep fit. Overall we liked the hotel and would stay there again.

Beautiful historic hotel with lovely features
Historic details, dramatic setting, relaxing ambience
8
The Tjampuhan has quite a grand feel and lots of lovely old details. Our room was very spacious with a large bathroom and wooden furnishings. The hotel is built down the hillside with views over the river below and the spa is like a fantasy grotto. The two pools also have lovely carvings and features around them although they were a little on the cold side. The staff were very attentive and there is a useful free shuttle bus which runs regularly into town. There were a few things which could perhaps do with refurbishing or updating, the massage areas were a little tired and we had to share a single bath tub to wash off at the end of our couples treatment but the massage itself was very good and the price very reasonable. Rooms could also do with safe deposit boxes adding. I also had an interesting experience in the spa area when a bright yellow snake jumped out of the roof of one of the small spa baths. I tried to explain this to the attendant but he thought I was joking! Overall though we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend the hotel.

Great ambience and a superb view
Landscaped gardens, quiet location yet fairly close to the centre of town and to padis.
10
staff very friendly and helpful. breakfasts excellent. a good shuttle bus service into town and back. find peace in the gardens.
room comfortable and spacious with balcony with lovely view overlooking river and temple.
all rooms seem to be below lobby (and street) level - we were near the lowest level and had 100 steps to get up to reception. no lift. we had no problem with this but you might need a bit of fitness.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
try a cooking class while in town - we went to cafe wayan in monkey forest road. make sure you get out into the padis - a walk out to sari organic is recommended (refreshment with excellent view and ambience).

very nice hotel in ubud, i loved the garden, swimming pool and u can have a delicious breakfast in the terass on top of the hill wth a nice view.
the room was just ok, bathroom dark and a bit old.
the location is also a bit apart from the center of ubud, which is not that bad to be in a quiet place to rest.

magical place
luxurious gardens, light airy room, wonderful staff
8.3
i have never had a spa in a grotto before. this was truly magical. there is a great pool and also a springwater pool. you feel like the jubgle is at your doorstep. down the hill and over the river and you are at the temple. i would come back again and recommend to all my friends.

Beautiful garden and peaceful setting
7
Had a very peaceful night in Ubud at this hotel. However attitude and speed of service at front desk was not at its best upon arrival, the kind staff later took well care of us and provided good and kind service. The hotel is not new, but well maintained. Only bad thing is a synthetic smoky or wooden perfume smell in the room, caused by the kind of machine that one sometimes sees in public toilets.
Restaurant Tip:
Jazz Café, 1.500 m from the the hotel - Awesome!!

Disappointing breakfast
Very beautiful garden setting
6
Nice bungalows in beautiful garden. Bathroom of our bungalow was a bit old and dirty. However, the garden with little stairs and temples makes up for this. We had almost a kind of jungle-feeling as our bungalow was facing the big temple across the river. The pool is also nice.
We were very disappointed with the breakfast. Quality, choice and presentation of food was not ok at all for this price!
