Reviews of Sabana Ubud 4 stars

Everything

Non-privacy of the ground rooms so I had to switch room to upper floors

The location is at the heart of Ubud. Lots of cafes and restaurants in walking distance for exploring. A perfect place to stay if you're planning to go to northern/eastern Bali. The hotel staff is very helpful, professional and polite. The rooms are really comfortable and cozy. They have a shuttle service to the city center too. The hotel provides good breakfast in the morning as well as tea or coffee with Balinese cakes in the evening. Overall, a great place to stay in Ubud!

There's pretty much nothing to dislike.

Loved everything. The staff were definitely the highlight. Very friendly and helpful. Loved the convenience of the shuttle to city centre and surrounding. Breakfast was great, appreciated the flexibility and presentation. Room service and Laundry services were also prompt and good.

My son would have liked the bathroom to have a door :D

The location, the staff

The bed, the room is quite oldish and the curtains could be washed or renewed.

The hotel staff are very friendly and welcoming. Even though breakfast is not a buffet, we can choose from different breakfast set e.g. western such as French toast, pancakes, omelette etc and Indonesian such as fried rice or fried noodles or even porridge to choose from. Each set of breakfast comes with fruit juice, tea/ coffee, fruit platter and a dessert such as coconut crepe, banana cake or fried pisang (fried banana). Each set is more than sufficient for 1 person. If the restaurant is too crowded, it is also possible to request for breakfast to be delivered to the room to have it at the balcony. The hotel also provided us a simple breakfast box with a sandwich, bottled water, banana, orange when we had to head out before the breakfast starting time for a day tour. The hotel also provides sufficient water- glass bottled ones for drinking in the room and plastic bottles for bringing out. The hotel is slightly more than 1 hour away from the airport. There could be traffic jam during peak hours from our observation in August so there’s a need to factor more time when travelling back to the airport. The hotel provides shuttle via a car or buggy to and fro the Ubud central area which is a nice touch! You do have to inform the hotel 15 mins before the time you need the shuttle and location so that they can make the arrangement. The shuttle seem to stop only at the Main Street at the central area so there’s a need to walk out to the Main Street to board the shuttle.

Each room comes with a balcony but it can get dusty very fast since it is open so do note to wipe down the table and chairs before sitting if you are particular about cleanliness. The room is cleaned up adequately but cleanliness below the toilet seat can be improved. If you are a light sleeper staying near the restaurant located near the hotel entrance, it might be abit noisy starting from 6 plus due to the cars driving pass the entrance, staff getting ready for breakfast that starts at 7am or guests having breakfast. By 8 plus it would be quieter. Do note the traffic at the central area is really bad on Friday nights. If you don’t mind walking, it is still possible to walk from the hotel to the central area. We did not try but I guess it might take 15-20 mins. In the room that we stayed in, there is only the rain shower in the shower area, but the water pressure is quite good. The shower head is only available at the bathtub area, I’m not sure whether it is the same for all rooms.

Great location, amazing staff, and very spacious room. Bottles of water in glass were provided, limiting plastic usage is great and very appreciated

However, extra care on details better bath towels and curtains would help

Fantastic breakfast, lot to choose from. Possibility to get it delivered in our room. Location nice. Very friendly staff.

We loved Sabana Ubud. The staff were so accommodating. The shuttle to the town center was so helpful. The location was perfect

The staff are all excellent and nothing is ever too much trouble. I’ve have stayed here 2 years in a row - once in the original Sabana and recently in the new Sabana Bliss. If you like a sunbed in the sun, request a room in Sabana Bliss. Make sure you include the breakfast option - the banana cake is worth it!

The staff were exceptionally helpful always smiling

The food was average

The staff were exceptional, the cooking class was awesome and made even better by the chef

I had to leave at the end

Absolutely superb! Everyone is so nice and respectful. The rooms are gorgeous, large, with plenty of natural light, the bed was comfortable. Very quiet day and night with good sound isolation from other rooms, blackout blinds. We felt safe and relaxed. The breakfast was good, prepared a la carte, not siting around all morning like in chain hotels.

The restaurant could be improved, you can consider it as a backup, there are better restaurants a short walk away towards the center.

We stayed at Sabana Bliss. The rooms were excellent and the pool area was stunning. We absolutely loved the Sabana staff. They were kind, thoughtful and extremely helpful making sure that our stay was perfect. I would high recommend this hotel. We also did the tour of the local food market and Balinese cooking class at the hotel which was brilliant.

I liked everything

Staff were super helpful. Room was spotless. Breakfast was delicious. They have a free shuttle bus/taxi in and out of Ubud - you simply send them a message on Whatsapp and they come and collect you! They arranged a driver for us for a half day tour which was great. The driver was reliable, friendly and helpful. They also have a gorgeous ginger house cat who is really well looked after.

Nothing

The staff were wonderful. I had hurt my legs before coming to Bali and was basically hotel bound. The shuttle took me to the doctor and brought me back which felt like such a God send. They allowed me to have my breakfast 'late' and took me and picked me up from destinations that were just a few hundred meters away as I couldn't walk at all. Without this kindness my first week in Bali would have been miserable. :( Due to being so constrained in my mobility I had most of my meals at the hotel and I was delighted at the quality. The bed was comfortable and the pool was gorgeous, especially at night when the lights were on.

I was very taken aback that the toilet area was so small that I had to sit sideways! The door wouldn't even close. And initially I was delighted that there was a rain shower but either it didn't work well or the water pressure was too low. Either way, it was not an enjoyable shower.

Staff welcomed me home. Took such good care of me....transfers to centre, ftiendly and so acommodating. Room wonderful.....swimming poil in my room posing as a bath 🥰

Nothing. All fab.

Personal was lovely and loved everything about my stay will definitely come back! Room had everything that is needed.

Good.
