Nugraha Guest House 2

Nugraha Guest House 2 This is a wonderful guest house in the middle of UBUD “oobood” that is setback from the main road but close to all the action, quiet and serene and very affordable. A small family run boutique hotel with 7 large rooms kept very clean and with air-conditioning, the swimming pool is the perfect temperature any time of the day, the garden has beautiful and fragrant flowers and is very well maintained along with the entire property. Coffee and tea are available and breakfast here is delicious and very convenient, I alternate between the banana pancakes or an omelette and they come with a nice plate of fruit. Many good restaurants nearby with the first one being just 4 m or about 10 feet away. Ubud’s shopping options are numerous with much clothing, good jewellers and a few handmade leather and tailor shops and crafts galore also you can try your hand at bargaining. Finding stuff is easy while touring or with google or other guides and Nugrha’s staff can be very helpful too. The monkey forest is within walking distance and motorbike taxis or rentals are all over UBUD. Also UBUD is a great town for yoga. We only planned on staying for one week but decided to extend for another two because we liked it here that much. Wifi is very fast, near the pool it is up to 70 Mbps Download, 55 Mbps Upload and 25 ms Ping. Also they have a minivan for airport pick up or drop off for about $5 more than regular cab or unlicensed taxis and can be arranged for local tours too. Current staff includes: Wyahn, Kehtoot and Komong. Cheers

Nugraha 2 is a very small and comfortable property, located right in the heart of Jl Jaya Pengosekan, near Ubud's monkey forest. It is surrounded by coffee cafes, coworking spaces, restaurants, convenience stores, and large resorts. It is just a 10 minute walk from Cocos, a major Ubud supermarket. Owner Wayan is very hospitable and helpful. The property has a lovely small pool with sunloungers, and there is the added feature of a small communal kitchette which guests can use to prepare their own meals. There is no undercover restaurant or eating space (apart from your balcony). Nugraha 2 does have a dedicated undercover yoga space however. Breakfast was basic (eggs or pancake, fruit) and served on your balcony or at the pool. My room was large and clean, although there were shortcomings that took the shine off. The room had no fridge and no safe or security box. Yes, there was one communal fridge in the kitchenette, but not in the room. I was told I could hide my valuables in the lockable closet, but the closet door locks were broken. My bathroom door had no handle on the outside as it had been broken off. When I asked about it, I was told they didn't have any door handles so couldn't fix it. The room balcony was very small and exposed to the rain. Rooms don't have umbrellas. I found the wifi to be very poor, although this is typical for many lower priced properties in Ubud. While these are things that I expect in similar properties, there were a number of people long-staying at Nugraha 2 who appeared very happy there.
