Exceptional staff and great location, but room fell short

The staff at Artini 2 Cottages were truly outstanding — probably the warmest and kindest I experienced during my five-week trip through Southeast Asia. Every interaction felt genuine, and they went out of their way to be helpful. I even had the chance to meet who I believe was the owner, which made the stay feel personal and welcoming.

The location is also excellent. It’s within easy walking distance to shopping, temples, cafés, and restaurants, making it very convenient for exploring Ubud.

Unfortunately, the room itself did not live up to expectations. It was quite dark and felt a bit gloomy. The property is older, which I understand, but my room in particular felt dated and somewhat depressing.

There was a steep flight of stairs to reach my room, and the stairwell lights flickered throughout the night. I ended up turning them off, which made navigating the stairs tricky after dark. My room was also close to the lobby area, so I would wake up early to voices and activity.

The food was disappointing overall, though the pool was lovely and very refreshing in the Ubud heat.

It’s difficult to leave a review like this because the staff were so genuinely kind. However, the condition and atmosphere of the room were enough that I decided to leave a day early.

If the rooms were updated, this place would be a gem because the hospitality is truly exceptional.

First of all I want to say the staff was amazing and my rating has nothing to do with them.

Now onto the review
Pros
Location
Excellent Staff

Cons
The bed!!! The bed was so hard it felt like I was sleeping on the floor. The padlock entry/exit. Due to the monkeys in the area you have to use a padlock to lock the door when you leave. Very inconvenient. The water coming from the sink was cold but you could burn your skin when taking a shower. The room was a bit worn not like the pictures. This hotel is a step up from a Hostel. If you need a place to sleep store your luggage and close to the sites this is your place but don’t expect anything more for a comfortable staff, the photos were highly deceiving.

Good stay

We stayed for 5 nights and had a good stay. Staff are great, really helpful and they go out of their way to help you. The pool was good to relax in, very quiet and enough loungers. It’s away from main road so very peaceful. A walk away from the shops. Plenty of food choices around. The room was good but needs a little improvement. The only downside was that we could hear the people walking in the room above us loud in the middle of the night, which did disturb us every night, they were walking but it was loud! as the upper level flooring is made of bamboo so if your going to this hotel ask for a top floor room so you don’t experience the noise.

A wonderful place to stay!

When we arrived, we were so surprised that the hotel is nicer than we expected. Every hotel staff we met were very friendly and eager to help. During the first day breakfast at the hotel, one staff gave us a map and showed us where and what to in walking distance in Ubud. On our request, he even arranged a day trip for us for the next day. The driver picked us up on time from the hotel. We had a great time! We will stay in this cottage again if we visit Ubud again. Thanks to all the staff of this hotel. You made our holiday so enjoyable!

Hoped for a quiet, clean, and comfy place to stay in the heart of Ubud, and that's exactly what I got! The staff was friendly and helpful at all times, the room, while a bit old, was clean, comfortable, and HUGE, and the pool and facilities were great. I was so comfortable at all times, as a single female traveler, and I really appreciated the friendly feel of the place. I highly recommend it!

This was my 2nd stay at Artini 2 Cottages (last time in 2016). I love the traditional Balinese architecture and the fabulous, manicured garden setting wrapped around a crystal clear pool and dining area. The hotel is also very central to all the sights and attractions of Ubud, and the transport companies I used to travel to and from Ubud had their station just 400m from the hotel. Very attentive, kind staff and good breakfasts! This hotel is a winner in my book. One caveat... it is set well off and below the main street, so access for people with disabilities could be challenging.

One of my favourite hidden gems! I have stayed at a few other hotels in Bali / Ubud and this one is my favourite so far! It is set in from the busy street and the pool and the grounds are very “Zen”. I swam every day and made sure to add breakfast for approximately $4 extra per day, so I didn’t need to run out first thing. I stayed in a traditional room which was pretty basic. It had a small deck at the front and the only thing needed would be an updated bathroom since the tub was burgundy and had not undergone renovations, as some others had. I will definitely stay here again since the staff are very friendly and I found the whole experience to be very peaceful and enjoyable

Artini 2 Cottages are lovely. The cottages are attractive, traditional Bali buildings, so not new, but charming and full of character. They are set in a large secluded garden some way back from the road, so you don't hear the traffic. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Eating breakfast in the poolside restaurant was delightful. It's a great location, easy walking distance from Monkey Forest, Ubud Palace and Pura Taman Sarawasti (water temple). There are many excellent cafes and restaurants in Jl Hanoman itself and it is also close to the semi-pedestrianised Jl Goutama area. We spent a peaceful few days at Artini 2 and would thoroughly recommend it.

Relaxing, lush green , bungalow style ! Loved it

We really enjoyed our stay here, it’s beautiful, lush and green. The pool is beautiful & clean. Breakfast was a delicious set menu each morning. Staff were friendly!!
Location is perfect and close to the Main Street of ubud. Lots of restaurants in the area.
They are bungalow style rooms, not newly built so a little outdated but that’s the ubud character style with the high hut style roof.
The only things I could fault is the broken shower , we had to hold the hose to wash ourselves & the mosquitos, not the accommodations fault but just make sure you take repellent.

Hidden Oasis in the Heart of Ubud

This accommodation was very good! The location was perfect - central to most attractions and lots of food/shopping. The room was large and clean, and it looked like most rooms had nice green views. The pool was a little green so we didn't swim but it was really nice to sit beside. The breakfast was delicious and the service was excellent. I would definitely come back again and stay here.

Loved the pool & garden setting. A quiet oasis in a busy town.
The first night we were in one of the “updated” rooms but it was dark and absolutely characterless. We were thankfully able to move to one of the cottages the next day. The cottage was quite lovely but “tired” & needs some sprucing up.
The breakfast was fine—nothing great. But the dining area / setting is wonderful. Did not eat any other meals here as there are so many options in Ubud.
Although not perfect, would still return here & recommend it as well.

Lovely on the outside, disappointing on the inside

My stay didn't start particularly well when my hotel transfer didn't arrive to pick me up in the middle of the night (I called the number provided and they told me to call back the next day which wasn't very helpful!). When I arrived the next day, I didn't receive the room I expected so downgraded. While the room was lovely and traditional during the day, a mouse/rat/rodent ran around it at night (probably due to the thatched roof). When i reported it to reception, the lady laughed as though it was normal. Um, not really! The hotel were kind enough to refund my first night's stay (as i ended up having to book into an airport hotel) but not the difference in the room price which was disappointing compared to customer service I'd experienced elsewhere. The refund was also hampered by hotels.com bizzare internal processes. I think if nothing goes wrong with your stay (and you're in one of the main rooms) this would be a wonderful place to stay - the pool and lounging area is a particular highlight and most of the staff are lovely (one temperamental receptionist). Unfortunately I'm not sure I'll return any time soon.

A little slice of heaven in Ubud

My stay at Artini II COTTAGES WAS AMAZING AND THE STAFF WAS GREAT.
If you love old world charm, this is the place for you. It is so tranquil, serene and beautiful. Sitting on the chairs outside the cottage I stayed at was simply the best. I was able to relax, hear the birds and ducks and just enjoy Mother Nature. I just loved this place and it was the second time I was there.

Ketud Gudug, the supervisor was exceptional and was always there to greet you, ask how you were doing, if there was anything we needed etc. Very friendly and courteous Ketud is. Definitely one of the best customer service representative I have met.
He deserves a big raise.

Great location - but some TLC required.

This was our second stay at Artini 2 Cottages during the ast 3 years. For us it is a perfect location within easy walking distance of the forest, markets etc etc. The staff are always happy and obliging - especially Ketut who went out of his way to ensure our stay was memorable. The pool is a great bonus, well maintained - towels are also supplied. We were a little disappointed to note that our room was not up to the standard of our previous one, which was truly memorable. The rooms are cleaned daily but ours certainly was in need of more than a quick flip over with the duster - a deep clean was probably all that was required but it would make all the difference. Hopefully the management will take this on board because it is a truly lovely place to stay.

We were a party of 8 staying at 4 rooms in this hotel in September 2018. The hotel has a beautiful garden and pool and nice breakfast. But that's about the only positive I can say.The rooms, even the \"super delux\" ones where we stayed were plainly dirty. Dead insects on the floor, bed sheets that were not clean. Some of them had a strong mold smell. We were supposed to stay for 6 nights, but when rats appeared in one room, we couldn't take it any longer and left the hotel a few days earlier. It was tough to get the management admit and they denied the problems. It had a bad effect on our vacation in Ubud, and I recommend to avoid this hotel.

This place is a complete dump. The exterior grounds are appealing, but the rooms are a mess. I asked to be switched and the second room was worst than the first. Mold, dirty, broken fixtures.

Location is good, no atmosphere

I stayed here a few years ago and enjoyed it. Obviously management has changed, the staff are miserable and almost nowhere to be seen and it lacks any kind of atmosphere. I stayed 8 nights (too many) and never saw anyone in the restaurant. There are plenty of places to eat right out the front in a friendly atmosphere. I didn’t like my room on the first night so asked to change. It was 100 times better. Don’t put up with a crappy room. Disappointed and won’t be back. Overpriced for what you get. This is the first negative review I’ve ever left.

Lovely Balinese style in centre of Ubud

I love Artini 2. Lovely villa type rooms with balconies set in the most lush, established Balinese gardens. People come to take pictures of the gardens alone. The pool is not huge but lovely and set in a private garden and so relaxing and pretty. The location is right in the centre of everything in Hanoman street. The staff are wonderful and even arranged a private spiritual leader visit in a remote village which was a highlight. I will be staying here again. If you are travelling alone, it is a great, welcoming, safe and pretty choice too.

Old style Balinese in a beautiful setting with a lovely pool. Gardens are superb and the location in Ubud is great! Halfway between the Palace and art markets and the Monkey Forest. Only down side there is a lot of steps down into the main pool and lobby area from the street and some rooms have a set of skinny ladder like steps up to them. If you aren't good with steps don't book a second floor room and check it out for suitability. Apart from that I would highly recommend this hotel.

The setting exceeded my expectations - gorgeous and tranquil, even though you enter the property off a busy street. The staff was extremely helpful with practical things (I asked for something to put my luggage on and an adaptor, which they promptly provided.) and with help in arranging activities. Excellent breakfast included - both Western and Asian selections. Only downsides were: A/C had a moldy smell (so I used fan only), and shower sometimes wasn't hot enough (but it usually was at least warm). Great value for the price - I would definitely stay there again.

Moldy smell a disappointment

Although the hotel premises are very nice (pool, gardens) and it feels like an oasis of tranquility right by one of Ubud's busiest roads, the room disappointed us. With no air circulation, there was mold that you could see and smell. The shower was badly designed, as was the wardrobe with the safe, which awkwardly occupied a nook of the room that would have been more useful (for suitcase space) without the robe there.

Nice cottages in a real nice peaceful location

The Artini cottages 2 are located in a real nice area of Ubud. The cottages are beautiful and have all the amenities needed. They have wooden floors, nice queen beds and my particular one had a view to a rice field and a balcony, so ideal!! The staff is very welcoming and helpful. I definitely recommend staying here, it is much nicer than the two other main streets that are noisy. Everything you need is close by too, restaurants, cafes, spas, markets, etc... They also have a small pool and towels and reclining chairs, so you can spend some time in a peaceful environment. The gardens are absolutely gorgeous too and well maintained. I spent 6 nights there and really enjoyed my time and felt like I was having a real Balinese experience.

An incredible little gem - We didn't want to leave

I can't say enough good things about our stay. Large, well appointed rooms located in the most adorable little two-story-cottages. The room had a real balinese feel, and the bathroom was massive, modern, and clean. When you step off the relatively busy road, you're suddenly in the most gorgeous property - gardens, balinese statues, and an amazing pool. The staff went out of their way to be friendly and accommodating, and the breakfast each morning was excellent. We kept saying over and over that we couldn't believe the value for the price -- having stayed in a number of hotels throughout SE Asia, I would probably rate this best value for my money - I didn't want to leave, and will definitely return again

This is a unique property. Right in the middle of the action but since it sits well behind another building, it is very private.

Peaceful sanctuary in the city

Despite being located on a busy street in the centre of Ubud, this property is like a little oasis. A flight of stairs leads down to the sunken gardens, where the city sounds just disappear. The grounds are just beautiful, with many paths and a great variety of trees and flowers. The accommodations are spread among several authentic Balinese style buildings with amazing carved doors, window panels and railings. Although the room interior was admittedly tired, this in no way diminished our enjoyment of the facilities, including the large swimming pool. The rooms are not updated, but they are large and comfortable. It's the atmosphere, style and setting of this hotel that makes it special, not the room decor. We would definitely stay here again.

Great value at a central location in Ubud

Great value and centrally located in Ubud. Walking distance to many sights and shopping, restaurants, etc. Nice pool and great customer service at hotel. Would stay here again. Only issue is had some water issue with our pipes but staff was readily available and fixed as soon as possible. Breakfast was good and adequate, included every morning.

Oasis in the middle of the busy city

we loved it here! The pool and breakfast area was beautiful with the water fountains and lush well kept gardens. Kutik was very helpful and arranging tours for our group of eight and letting us know the about the sights to see in and around Ubud, the staff was very friendly and helpful and English speaking. we would stay here again if we return to Ubud.

Oasis in busy Obud

Stayed four nights and it was a welcoming base for exploring Ubud and area.
This small hotel became like home and the staff could not be friendlier and helpful.

Nice gardens and pool, shame about the rooms

This place is in a good location in ubud and there is a lot within walking distance. It is very quiet and the gardens and pool are very nice. The rooms are a bit of a let down by comparison. The rooms have traditional doors which lock with a padlock from outside but they don't lock very effectively -- when locked, you can push them open about five or six inches so they are not at all secure and you can't keep the bugs out. Add to that the fact that the safe box is not screwed down and you won't be wanting to leave anything valuable in the room. The bed was pretty comfortable and the AC worked well. The bedding was dirty though (blood stains) and the bathroom really needed updating (quite dirty, the shower curtain does little to keep water off the floor, the shower head is at chest height etc). Overall it's not a bad place but it would be better if the rooms were finished to a similar standard as the outside areas.

Great location with tons of Balinese character

We really enjoyed our stay at the Artini 2 Cottages. Of all the hotels we stayed at during our trip to Indonesia, Artini 2 Cottages had by far the most authentic Balinese charm and character. We were greeted each morning over a cup of tea on the lanai of our room by a young Balinese woman who placed a traditional offering of flowers, rice and incense on the path in front, and in a small shrine attached to our room, after which we could watch the friendly doves and lizards drop by for a morning feast. The hotel is set among spectacular, manicured gardens full of beautiful Balinese statues, and the pool was crystal clear, clean and very appealing. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful with suggestions of things to see and do in the lovely city of Ubud. The hotel's location was also excellent, and within walking distance of all the major attractions in the old city -- Royal Palace, Monkey Forest, many temples and museums, excellent restaurants and shopping, etc. I would definitely stay at Artini 2 Cottages again, and recommend it to others.

Beautiful hotel in a great location

Set in beautiful gardens (noisy wildlife at night, especially after the rain!), it's well-placed for food and drink, yoga, shopping, or organising trips around Ubud or beyond. Staff are lovely. The room needs a little modernising - more sockets and a better shower, etc.

Beautiful scenery around hotel!

The air conditioner didn't work the greatest, the staff were nice but not experienced servers. The food was average. The hotel staff were awesome for connections to set up tours of Ubud and to help arrange a transport to the Gili Islands. The scenery was absolutely stunning, I wish we would of had more time to relax on our balcony or lounge by the pool to enjoy how truly beautiful it was. It looked just like the pictures on the website! I would recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to Ubud!

Most likely the best place to stay in Ubud - will definitely be back! The place is quiet and extraordinary, and the staff always very helpful. The only thing that should be noted is the bad wifi connection.

Super room deluxe location.

We had a super deluxe room with air conditioning and heaps of space. Our room was in a 2 story building at the back with our own private balcony. Amazing gardens and architecture. Pool was great and highly recommended as humid and hot in September. Good breakfast and friendly staff helping to arrange transfers, a driver and sort out a rafting booking on the phone. Great location in centre of town so you can walk everywhere yet set back from the road so you don't hear any traffic at all.

Convenient, relaxing and quiet in central Ubud

The hotel is well kept, especially the gardens. Some of the rooms are a little dated inside but are also quite grand and are individual and nicely appointed with outside seating areas. The hotel staff were helpful and pleasant.

Ordinary one nighter in Ubud

Overall average. Nice staff though most Balinese are. Hotel had initially not received confm from Hotel.com so tedious check in.as a regular to Ubud i rate the room as overpriced. No wifi or tv in room. Glad i read books! Get all this down the road similar sized room for half the price.
So its ok if price was cheaper.

Great location but disappointed with our room. Hotel was advertised as air conditioned rooms- air conditioner barely worked at all! Thankfully a fan is provided. Large gaps around the door and windows allowed mosquitoes to enter. There were 2 safes in our room but neither worked. We were advised that security was a wooden locker at reception but our key opened the next door locker so security nil! Lovely pool area and gardens. Wifi signal very poor in our room but ok at the pool.

Great value for money in a fantastic location!

Artini II Cottages are located right in the heart of Ubud city centre, along the fashionable Jalan Hanoman strip - where there are great little cafes, boutiques and spas. About a 10 minute walk from the main road through the city, it's peaceful and quiet.

As soon as you step off the road down the steps to the accommodation it is hard to believe that the hustle and bustle of Ubud even exists.

Hotel staff are very friendly and accomodating, the grounds are immaculately kept, swimming pool and surrounds are clean and the rooms are spotless.

Wifi is free, but is only really strong enough around the pool and reception area. In the rooms, there is hardly any signal at all. But to be honest, it's a very small criticism on an otherwise exceptional value for money hotel. Plus you are in Bali - disconnect anyway ;)

I would happily stay again.

Great loaction and beautiful grounds

Terrific customer service overall. Great loaction central to Ubud and walk to shops, restaurants, sights. Good food at the hotel restaurant. Beautiful grounds. The showers (handheld) in the traditional Balinese-style rooms were challenging to use, and the geckos shared my shower but were friendly. :)
