The Property — Four Seasons
Stepping into the Four Seasons in Ubud feels like entering a quiet garden compound, not a hotel lobby. The open-air reception overlooks tropical greenery; the vibe is calm and deliberately modest, with a small pool and a restaurant that serves Balinese and Western dishes. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a clean, central base without frills—think reliable, not romantic.
Chronicles of Ubud
Ubud began as a cluster of hamlets centred on the royal palace (Puri Saren), built in the early 19th century by the Sukawati dynasty. The town grew slowly as a hub for Balinese arts, with temples and rice terraces shaping its layout. By the 1930s, Western artists like Walter Spies and Rudolf Bonnet settled here, drawing a creative crowd that still defines Ubud’s identity. Today, it balances a dense core of yoga studios and organic cafés with surrounding villages that preserve traditional craftsmanship.

JuneJulyAugust
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak tourist months, driven by summer holidays in Australia and Europe. The Ubud Writers & Readers Festival (late October) is a smaller peak. Hotel prices can double; book well ahead.
Budget shoulder season
April, May and September offer lower prices, still-dry weather and noticeably fewer crowds on the main streets and at temples.
Weather & packing
Ubud has two clear seasons: wet (Oct–Apr) and dry (May–Sep). Pack a lightweight rain jacket even in dry season, as brief afternoon showers can still appear.
Live City Briefing — Ubud
- The main road through Ubud (Jl. Raya Ubud) has ongoing drainage works that cause narrow lanes and occasional traffic hold-ups near the market.
- A new direct shuttle from Ngurah Rai Airport to Ubud depot started in early 2026, cutting transfer costs by about 40% compared to private taxis.
- Several local warungs near the palace have been replaced with minimarts and chain cafés in the past year—head a ten-minute walk north or south for original cheap eats.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Four Seasons, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor at the rear of the building, away from the street. These upper floors reduce street noise and offer better privacy, as the ground-floor rooms near the lobby can hear foot traffic and reception activity.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms and any room facing the street. Ground-floor rooms are more exposed to lobby noise and passing guests. Street-facing rooms pick up traffic noise from Ubud's narrow, busy roads, especially during morning and evening rush hours.
Best views
Request a rear-facing room overlooking the small garden or back lane. The hotel's Ubud address means street views are mostly other buildings, passing scooters, and shop fronts. A garden view, though simple, is greener and quieter.
Quietest floors
2nd and 3rd floors. The building has no lift, so these upper floors have less pass-through traffic and lower noise from the lobby level.
🔊 Noise notes
Ubud's main roads are narrow and busy with scooters, taxis, and foot traffic from early morning to late evening. The hotel's entrance is directly on the street, so street noise is a real factor for front-facing rooms. There are no soundproof windows at this star level. The lobby area can also be noisy during check-in or tour group arrivals.
Insider tips
1. Check in early to secure a rear-facing upper-floor room, as these are the quietest and often go first. 2. Bring earplugs if you are sensitive to noise — the hotel has no lift and thin walls, so you may hear neighbouring rooms and street sounds.
- 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

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Indonesian Rupiah, IDR
Change money at authorised Money Changers inside Ubud (rates are decent), not at the airport or tourist agency stands — rates there are poor and some use tricks to short-change you.
Credit and debit cards are accepted at most hotels, mid-range restaurants, and shops, but small warungs, street food stalls, and markets are cash-only. Contactless and mobile pay are rare.
Not expected but appreciated; 5-10% at restaurants (if no service charge), round up taxi fares, and tip hotel staff 10,000-20,000 IDR for carrying bags or cleaning.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A small cup of Balinese coffee or kopi from a local warung: around 8,000-12,000 IDR.
Nasi campur (rice with sides) at a local warung: 20,000-30,000 IDR.
Mie goreng or nasi goreng at a simple restaurant: 25,000-40,000 IDR for a main.
Ubud Market area and Jalan Goutama have evening street food stalls selling sate, bakso, and pisang goreng; also try the night market at Jalan Dewi Sita.
Supermarkets like Coco Market, Delta Dewata, and Bintang Supermarket are common in Ubud for basics and imported goods.
Ubud Art Market and Jalan Dewi Sita offer affordable batik, sarongs, and casual clothing; haggle hard.
Bemo (local minibus) routes cost around 5,000-10,000 IDR per ride; for airport arrival, take a pre-booked shared shuttle (about 150,000 IDR) rather than a private taxi (400,000+ IDR).
Eat at warungs instead of tourist-facing restaurants for half the price. Bargain at markets—start at a third of the asking price. Skip bottled water; refill at water stations (usually free or 3,000 IDR per litre).

Top Attractions in Ubud
💡 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.
