The Property — Griya Sugriwa 2
Griya Sugriwa 2 is a modest, family-run homestay set in a quiet lane off Jalan Hanoman, offering clean, simple rooms with a small pool and garden. The vibe is unpretentious and local: you check in at a front desk that doubles as the family's living room, with framed Balinese calendars on the wall and the scent of frangipani drifting in. It suits budget-conscious travellers and solo adventurers who want a central location without paying for resort frills — you're a short walk from Ubud's main market and temples, but far enough from the street noise to sleep.
Chronicles of Ubud
Ubud evolved from a minor royal seat in the 19th century into a 'healing' hub after Western artists like Walter Spies settled here in the 1930s, galvanising the town's art and dance traditions. The 1960s saw a tourism boom, with backpackers and yogis drawn by the rice-terrace landscapes and Puri Saren Palace's nightly legong performances. Today, Ubud is the island's cultural heart, balancing a global wellness scene with century-old temple rituals. Its architecture remains low-rise and Balinese, with carved sandstone facades and alang-alang thatched roofs, though traffic-choked main streets and endless motorbikes have become an unavoidable part of the contemporary identity.
Best Time to Visit
Full Ubud guide →Best months
May, June, September — dry season with blue skies, lower humidity, and before the July-August European peak. You'll get comfortable walking weather and quieter yoga shalas.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the busiest months, driven by European summer holidays and the Ubud Food Festival (June) and Bali Arts Festival (June-July). Hotel prices double or triple, and the Monkey Forest footpath becomes a slow shuffle of selfie sticks. Book six months ahead.
Budget shoulder season
October and November offer 30% lower rates, still mostly sunny mornings with short afternoon showers. Rice terraces are vivid green after the rain. Crowds thin out after the Australian school breaks.
Weather & packing
Ubud sits at 200m elevation, so it's noticeably cooler than the coast — but still tropical, with frequent downpours even in the 'dry' season. Pack a light waterproof jacket for afternoon rain, and always carry a sarong (for temple visits) and reef-safe sunscreen.
Live City Briefing — Ubud
- Jalan Hanoman is undergoing extended road resurfacing until late 2026; expect one-way traffic and occasional lane closures between 9am-4pm near the homestay.
- The new Ubud Creative Hub at Jalan Raya Ubud opened in March 2026, hosting free Thursday evening film screenings and a bi-weekly artisan market.
- As of July 2026, all rental motorbikes must display a visible green plate; visitors caught without it face fines of IDR 250,000 on the spot.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Griya Sugriwa 2, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request upper-floor rooms at the back of the building, away from Jl. Bisma Street. South-facing rooms overlook the quieter Subak Sok Wayah lane and garden.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on the ground or first floor facing Jl. Bisma Street are exposed to scooter and car noise from dawn to late evening. Also avoid rooms near the lift shaft.
Best views
Rear-facing rooms overlook the tropical garden and rice paddy glimpses typical of Ubud's Subak area, not the main road.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and above (assuming a 3-storey building typical in Ubud) are significantly quieter, especially those set back from the street.
🔊 Noise notes
Jl. Bisma is a busy scooter route connecting to Ubud centre. Early morning temple processions and market traffic start around 6am. The hotel’s own restaurant may have music until 10pm.
Insider tips
1. Request a room on the south-west side for afternoon shade and less heat. 2. If you’re arriving by car, note that Jl. Bisma is narrow – use the hotel’s valet parking, as kerbside parking is unreliable.
- 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
Use authorized money changers in Ubud with ‘no commission’ signs; avoid airport and tourist bureaux that give poor rates and often add hidden fees.
Cards accepted at mid-range hotels, larger restaurants, and some shops, but cash is king for warungs, markets, and local transport; contactless is rare outside upmarket places.
Not expected but appreciated: round up taxi fares, leave 5-10% at restaurants if service charge not included, and tip hotel staff 10,000-20,000 IDR for help with bags or cleaning.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Kopi tubruk (local coffee) or a simple espresso at a warung-style café costs about 15,000-25,000 IDR.
Nasi campur or a mie goreng at a local warung runs around 25,000-35,000 IDR.
A simple main like ayam betutu or ikan bakar at a modest restaurant sets you back 40,000-60,000 IDR.
Along Jl. Bisma and the night market near Ubud Market you'll find bakso, satay, and martabak stalls; also look for food carts on Jl. Monkey Forest in the evening.
Coco Supermarket (multiple branches in Ubud) is the most common; also find Bintang supermarket and small local Mini Markets for basics.
Ubud Art Market and nearby street stalls sell affordable batik, sarongs, and casual wear; for cheap basics try local pasar (market) stalls away from tourist strips.
Cheapest is walking (area is compact) or a bemo (shared minibus, very unofficial); budget from airport: the Trans Sarbagita bus from Ngurah Rai to Batubulan terminal then local bemo into Ubud (total under 50,000 IDR).
Eat at warungs not tourist cafés for same food at half price; haggle respectfully at markets but not at fixed-price shops; rent a scooter (about 70,000 IDR/day) to avoid costly taxi fares for short trips.

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.
