Gayatri

Gayatri is tucked away down a small lane, away from the main street. Hence it is very serene and it makes us feel like we are in a tropical oasis. It is located at the town centre and walking distance to Monkey Forest, the palace, Campuhan Ridge Walk, Sweet Orange Trail and countless eateries and shops. We stayed in a ground floor family villa with extra large ensuite and a large patio/terrace. Love the huge bathroom and the water pressure of the shower is great! The beds have mosquito nets which is a bonus because there’s one or two mozzies at night. The swimming pool is just right in front of our villa and it’s very clean. The hotel ground is very well-maintained with manicured lush green shrubs and trees. The whole place looks magical at night when the lights are on. We love the Balinese vibe of this place and the villas with traditional Balinese architecture. We were very impressed with Gayatri plant-based breakfast menu. Every morning we looked forward to having 1 cold drink(beautiful fresh fruit juice and kombucha drink), 1 hot drink and 2 food items (Breakfast included in room price). There are 14 food items to choose from and we have tried all of them. I must say that not very often we get to eat wholesome, fresh, nutritious and delicious food for breakfast while on holiday. The food is fit for the soul and the food presentation is a feast to the eyes. Keep up the good work!!! It’s a privilege for us to have a long and pleasant conversation with the owner of Gayatri on the last day of our stay. The world needs more business owners like him who places the welfare of his employees, guests and environmental sustainability above profit. Thumbs up for the owner who chooses to place a water dispensing machine(cold, room temperature and hot water) in the room instead of providing bottled water. A big thank you to the entire team in Gayatri. You made us feel like “kings and “queens”! :)))

This is an absolutely incredible property with classic Balian architecture and art. The pool was so pleasant and cooling. Breakfast was delicious and vegan, let you choose your own from a menu that had Western and Indonesian options! Easy access to walk or taxi around town, monkey forest, shopping. Also nice and quiet within the grounds. Very friendly and helpful staff.

The food is incredible. I don't know why the reviews here don't talk much about it. The variety of selections for breakfast every morning consists of one hot drink, one cold drink and two mains. Yes you read it right, two mains. And there is a wide selection so you are u likely to get bored of it. I loved the dragonfruit smoothie bowl and the avocado smash. Those two were exceptional. Now location is pretty good too. The only problem is the lane is rather narrow so you can't really get a car to drive all the way in. walk in to the property is about 1 min walk though so I think that's fine. It is about 2-3 mins walk to ubud palace and art market.

Our room on the top floor was beautiful and very spacious, with a gorgeous balcony to lounge around. Bathroom was big and had everything you need and more. Breakfast is beautiful, made to order and delivered to your room. Beds are really comfortable and big. Location perfect centre of Ubud, many shops and restaurants at your doorstep.

Excellent staff, great vegan breakfast and amazing location for walking around Ubud downtown. Plenty of restaurants nearby and local bars.
