... Read moreStepping into Puri Garden Hotel and Hostel in Ubud, I immediately felt a vibrant, welcoming energy. It's more than just a place to sleep; it’s a community hub where I met some of the best people, all while enjoying the lush tropical greenery and stunning views around every corner. If you're looking for the 'best hostel in Bali' or specifically a fantastic 'Ubud Bali hostel,' this place truly delivers an unforgettable experience. One of the absolute highlights for me was the incredible range of free activities. Every morning, I’d join the free yoga sessions in a serene grassy courtyard, often with a calming Buddha statue nearby. It was the perfect way to start the day, stretching out after a long flight or a day of exploring. And get this – they even offer complimentary 15-minute massages and manicures/pedicures by appointment! It felt like a luxury retreat disguised as a hostel. The relaxation by the outdoor swimming pool area, lounging on comfortable bean bags by the water, became my favorite afternoon ritual. As evening fell, the string lights would come on, creating a truly magical atmosphere in the common area – perfect for unwinding and chatting with new friends. And let's talk about the food! The free delicious breakfast here was legendary. I still dream about their pancakes – seriously, the best I've ever had, topped with fresh banana slices, mint, and syrup. It really fuels you up for a day of adventure. Beyond breakfast, I also decided to try their cooking class. It was such a fun and interactive way to learn about Indonesian cuisine, preparing dishes like satay skewers and spring rolls. It's fantastic for meeting other travelers and sharing a unique cultural experience together. For the adventurous souls, the hostel makes it incredibly easy to book excursions. My personal favorite was the Mt. Batur hiking trip. Waking up early to trek up the mountain and watch the sunrise paint the sky with vibrant colors over a scenic landscape was absolutely breathtaking. They handle all the logistics, so all you have to do is enjoy the journey. And speaking of convenience, the famous Monkey Forest is practically on the doorstep – just a quick 5-minute Grab ride or a pleasant 15-minute walk. It’s an absolute must-visit while in Ubud, though remember to keep your belongings secure from playful monkeys! Finally, the comfort. The clean and spacious rooms offered a much-needed sanctuary after busy days. I especially appreciated the full-size mirrors, which are a godsend for getting ready! The wooden lockers also provided a secure space for my belongings. Puri Garden Hotel & Hostel isn't just a place to stay; it’s an immersive experience that perfectly blends relaxation, adventure, and community. It’s undoubtedly one of the 'best hostels in Bali' and a top choice for any 'solo traveler' or group looking for an authentic and high-quality stay in Ubud.
