Very nice hotel, close to the Monkey...
Very nice hotel, close to the Monkey Forest. Good value for money when it goes about the hotel itself. Staff was pretending to be friendly, but they were obviously not doing their best. When we ordered a scooter through the reception we got a very old one with broken speed display. It occured that the receptionist called her friend/family who rented us his own scooter! We couldn't keep it overnight cause its owner needed to go home! Next day we rented a scooter at the tourist office and we got one that was far better, cheaper and could be kept as long as we wanted. Be careful when you order services at the reception! The other thing was at our arrival. Although we made our reservation 2 months in advance, it turned out on the arrival that that don't have any room for us. Our room was first available the next day! We were transferred to a shabby "sister hotel" in the center of Ubud and said that if we choose to stay there all 5 nights we can get a massage AND a dinner for free. If only one night we only get one thing. The "sister hotel" was of bad standard and filthy and we were upset of only staying there one night! We think it was impertinent to suggest us staying a place like this and try to compensate it with only one dinner and a massage!! In the end we were back at Sahadewa after one night and got both things (after a bit argument at the reception desk...) So generally the hotel is ok, but be careful of staff being too "clever" (it applies actually to the most of Balinese who have any connection to tourist industry, unfortunately)
