I Stayed in a $200 Hotel vs $1000 Hotel in Ubud, Bali | Hotel Diaries

I stayed at 2 boutique hotels in Ubud, Bali: Titik Dua and Bisma Eight... Here's a snippet of the experience - from room tours, hotel breakfasts, house activities, reviews and more! 😊

📍 HOTEL 1: TITIK DUA
Price range per night: from AUD $200 / IDR 2M / USD $135
Room: Titik Dua Deluxe & Signature Jeda Room
Highlights:
Beautiful architecture and comfortable rooms
Showcases contemporary Indonesian art and design (there's even a little art gallery on the bottom floor)
Good price for the experience!
So many places for a pic!
Feels more local than touristy which I liked! (staycation vibes)
Things to consider:
Location of the hotel is a 15-20 min scooter ride from the main shopping streets
Not really walking distance to any cafes or shops, etc
Pool is located on the ground floor so the buildings and surrounding trees seem to block the sun
As at August 2024, lots of renovations going on so we couldn't use some facilities

📍 HOTEL 2: BISMA EIGHT
Price range per night: from AUD $700-1000 / IDR 7-10M / USD $474-674 (fluctuates depending on the season!) BUT the rooms always seem to be on discount. For example, I only paid $475 (40% off).
Room: Forest Suite
Highlights:
GOOD LOCATION! Walking distance to all the central places in Ubud (10 mins from the Monkey Forest, 15 minutes from the shopping strips), yet far enough that its on a nice quiet street.
The street also has little restaurants and shops along the way if you don't want to go too far from the hotel.
Forest Suite was a highlight! It's located separate to the Garden and Canopy rooms, with a view of the jungle valley. Also VERY spacious. I would pay the extra price to get this suite :)
A boutique hotel that gives a resort-y vibe
Good facilities - 2 restaurants, 2 gyms, a spa
In-house activities - cooking classes, jammu-making classes, dancing classes, sound healing, etc
Things to consider:
More on the pricier end
Pool may be considered small compared to other hotels
If you're staying in the villas, it's located separately - a 7 minute walk down the road
