The hotel is in the middle of the jungle, so the view is breathtaking and the environment is nice. We really liked our room, its size was okay, the bed was comfortable, the huge windows looked at the pool (and at the jungle behind it). The staff was really helpful and super kind ❤️ The infinity pool was beautiful, and in the common area, there were a lot of books that we could read. The infused water was such a plus!

The door of the room could not be closed properly, so the gecos had entry into our room, which made me scared at first but then I got used to it over time. The bathroom had wooden floor, which was probably very cool, right after installation, but it looks very used now.

Swimming pool Stuff kindness Location and room design Breakfast

Transfer to Ubud not always available, we had to arrange a taxi.

The place is lovely and the staff are welcoming and helpful. The pool is lovely and having room options with a semi-private pool are great too. Feels like a secret escape hiden off of a busy street. Being surrounded by jungle forest gives a feeling of being close to nature and away from the hustle and bustle of the town.

The place is clearly a little run down, but they are working on updating it over time. The water pressure drops if too many people are using the shower at the same time. You can test the shower by checking the sink tap first to see if there is any pressure. But the gorgeous views and atmosphere of eating breakfast or sitting around the pool surrounded by nature eclipse the old parts. The saltwater pool was not saltwater anymore which was a shame as I cannot use chlorine pools and this was a main selling point to me.

The Pari Sudha is an independently run hotel overlooking the jungle and located on the road which connects Ubud to the world famous rice paddies. The staff are really helpful, and the facilities surprisingly good for the size of the hotel. The hotel is seeking to provide boutique style accommodation you'd expect from some of the major international 4*+ hotels on the western side of Ubud, but a price point WAY below what these hotels charge. The hotel rooms (8 rooms or 16 beds) in total are set around the original shared pool and private pool. Only the lower two rooms can use this 'private pool. However, the hotel has recently added a much bigger third pool - yes, 2 pools for 16 guests!) and this additional area includes the breakfast dining, spa/treatment rooms and other lounge/refreshments options. Plenty of space to use sun loungers etc. The outlook in onto jungle, The staff were really friendly, helpful and trying hard to please. This is a great value place to stay for a few days as a base to explore local culture and food and have the facilities of a great pool and good rooms (a/c was great and beds really comfortable). Remember that the rooms are in the middle of a jungle (which is lush and green), and given the bathrooms are designed to be semi-outdoors, you might see the odd gekko or two! The hotel is set into the side of the jungle valley, so expect to walk up and down a few steps if you are in the rooms lower down (but you get your own private pool!). At night you feel like you have a luxury hotel all to your self, with the pool being the best feature!

Now, this hotel is easy to find at first. But it does come up on Grab and most local taxis will find it. It is also part of the LOCAL community, set away from the road noise etc in the jungle. Getting to the hotel is a short walk from the road (75 yds maybe max, on a paved footpath which is not issue with suitcases etc, and the staff are there to help too. A taxi into Ubud (we used Grab) cost very little (a few $ max) and really easy. Walking is an option, but up hill on way home!

View and staff

Cleaness

The photos of the property doesn’t do it justice. There is small some wear and tear in parts, but for the amount you’re paying its absolute paradise.  couldn’t explain how amazing with a view is.

There’s nothing that we as a group didn’t like

The view directly on the jungle, from everywhere in the resort and also from my room, was really amazing. There was a really nice shower gel from Sensatia, really pleasant to use (although bottle almost empty). Staff nice and in the room there were bottles of water and electricity adapter.

Location in the jungle is nice, but very remote from city center and any restaurant or bar and complimentary shuttle not working regularly. I was told to call a driver (however in the end the staff was nice though to give me an exceptional drive). No possibility to eat anything in the hotel, except for breakfast. They told me to order delivery food. The room needed a deep clean, bed linen with stains, white pillowcases yellowish, insects net dirty, only one big light working. For one night I didn’t even report it, but very bad for the hotel category and the price. In the early morning it was very noisy because people arriving by motorbike and meeting each other below my balcony.
