財産 — Friendly Bali
Friendly Bali is a no-frills 3-star hotel in central Ubud, a short walk from the Monkey Forest and Ubud Palace. The lobby feels like a breezy communal veranda with polished concrete floors, rattan furniture and a small open-sided cafe. Rooms are clean and functional, with tiled bathrooms and basic Balinese textile accents. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a simple, sociable base in the middle of town and don't need a pool or resort amenities.
Ubudの歴史
Ubud grew from a small cluster of villages in the 8th century, when the Javanese priest Rsi Markandeya founded a temple at the confluence of two rivers. The town's modern identity was shaped in the 1930s by European artists like Walter Spies, who turned it into a hub for painting, dance and music. After the 2002 Bali bombings, tourism shifted from Kuta to Ubud's cooler, spiritual highlands. Today it's a global magnet for yoga, organic cafes and craft workshops, though traffic jams on the main roads have become a chronic local complaint.

April, May and September — dry season with strong sunshine, lower humidity than mid-summer, and fewer tourists than July-August. Rice terraces are lush and temple festivals are frequent.
ピーク/フェスティバル Surge
July-August and December-January are peak for European and Australian school holidays. Ubud Writers & Readers Festival (late October) and Bali Arts Festival (June-July) also spike demand. Hotel prices in July can double. Book Friendly Bali at least 3 months ahead for July.
予算肩の季節
October and November bring short showers and lighter crowds. Rooms at Friendly Bali can drop 30-40% below July rates. Weather is still warm, with clear mornings and afternoon storms that clear quickly.
天気&パッケージ

LIVE CITY BRIEFING — Ubud
- The Ubud Monkey Forest has closed its southern entrance for 18 months of renovation (until early 2026) — visitors should enter from the main gate on Jalan Monkey Forest.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Friendly Bali, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first floor or higher, facing away from the main road that runs through Ubud. The quieter side overlooks the garden/pool area, reducing motorbike and traffic noise. These rooms also get more natural light and a better breeze.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the lobby or street-facing side. Ubud’s narrow lanes get early morning scooter traffic, and ground-floor street-side rooms pick up exhaust, revving, and chattering from the walkway.
Best views
Rooms facing the tropical garden or small pool (standard for this class in Ubud) give a view of frangipani trees and greenery. Street-side rooms look at pavement and passing traffic.
Quietest floors
First floor and above, garden/courtyard side. The building is a low-rise Balinese-style inn — typically 2-3 floors — so upper floors (first and second) are best for quiet.
🔊 Noise notes
Ubud centre is busy with scooters from dawn to dusk. The hotel sits on a lane off the main road — still audible. Early morning temple processions with gamelan can carry from nearby banjar (village halls). Weekend nights may have chatter from nearby warungs until 22:00.
Insider tips
1. If you arrive by taxi, the hotel’s lane may be too narrow for cars — ask the driver to drop you at the nearest wide point and confirm the hotel’s exact side-lane access. 2. Request a top-floor room with a fan (not just AC) — Ubud’s humidity means you want cross-ventilation, and many 3-star places have ceiling fans that work well at night.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

お金 & 通貨
Get a travel card →Indonesian Rupiah, IDR
Use authorised money changers in central Ubud (lots near Monkey Forest); avoid airport and hotel kiosks—they give poor rates and sometimes short-change you.
Cards accepted in most mid-range hotels, restaurants, and larger shops; but many warungs and markets are cash-only, so always carry some rupiah.
Tipping not required but appreciated: round up taxi fare or leave 5-10% at restaurants if no service charge. Rp 10,000-20,000 for hotel housekeeping is fine.
食事、ショッピング、旅行 予算
Cheap car hire →Kopi tubruk from a local warung or street cart: about Rp 10,000-15,000.
Nasi campur from a warung: around Rp 25,000-35,000.
Mie goreng or nasi goreng at a simple restaurant: about Rp 30,000-45,000 for a main.
Evening food stalls and night market near Ubud Market and along Jalan Dewi Sita; also the Gianyar night market a short ride away.
Coco Supermarket and Bintang Supermarket; also smaller local 'pasar' for fresh produce.
Ubud Market and Tegallalang Market for colourful sarongs, cotton shirts, and batik. Haggle hard.
Walk in central Ubud; otherwise rent a scooter for about Rp 50,000-80,000/day. Airport: take a public Perama bus or shared shuttle from airport to Ubud (~Rp 50,000-100,000).
Eat at warungs not tourist cafes; drink filtered refill water (Rp 5,000-10,000 per gallon) instead of bottled; bargain at markets but be polite.

Ubudのトップ観光スポット
💡 Haggle firmly but politely – start at 30% of the asking price. Go at 8am before the tour buses arrive. Avoid the stuff sold near the palace, it's mass-produced.
💡 Pop in for 15 minutes between 9am and 5pm when the lotus flowers are open. No sarong needed – they lend them at the entrance for free.
💡 Start from the north end near the Ibah Hotel for a quieter stretch. The walk is about 2km round trip but you can extend onto dirt trails if you want more.
💡 Leave your sunglasses and loose items in your bag. Monkeys will snatch them. Go after 4pm when it's quieter and the light is softer for photos.
💡 Skip the busy main path – take the steep stairs down to the left of the waterfall for a quieter spot to swim. Go early on a weekday to avoid crowds. Bring swimsuit and towel.
