The Property — Tutick House
Tutick House is a compact three-star set back from Ubud’s main thoroughfare, with a small pool and a shaded garden that muffles the scooter noise. Rooms are simple: tiled floors, local textiles and a plunge-style bathroom. It suits independent travellers who want a clean, quiet base within walking distance of the market and Monkey Forest, rather than a resort experience.
Chronicles of Ubud
Ubud grew from a single temple and palace settlement in the 8th century, later becoming the seat of the Sukawati dynasty under the Bali kingdom. The town’s modern identity crystallised in the 1930s when Western artists such as Walter Spies and Rudolf Bonnet turned it into a creative enclave, leaving behind a legacy of galleries and dance troupes. Today Ubud is the island’s cultural epicentre, known for its working rice terraces, yoga studios and a palpable Hindu-Spiritual daily rhythm that tourists and expats have woven into their own.
Best Time to Visit
Full Ubud guide →Best months
April–May and September–October: dry weather, lower humidity and festival-free calm after the monsoon and before the summer peak. Rice terraces are vivid green and roads less jammed.
Peak / festival surge
July–August and December–January. European summer and Christmas drive a 30–50% hotel price surge. The Bali Arts Festival runs June–July in Denpasar (affecting Ubud too); Galungan (usually July) brings processions but no visitor closures. Expect heavy traffic on Jalan Raya Ubud.
Budget shoulder season
November and February–March. Still some rain but cheaper rates and emptier temples. February often has clearance discounts of 20–30% on standard rooms.
Weather & packing
Ubud’s microclimate means sudden afternoon downpours even in the dry season. Pack a quick-dry sarong (required for temples anyway) and a lightweight rain jacket.
Live City Briefing — Ubud
- The Tjampuhan road widening project near Ubud Palace is ongoing; expect single-lane traffic and 15-minute delays via the shortcut to the Monkey Forest.
- A new direct bus route from Ngurah Rai Airport to Ubud’s central terminal launched in 2025 — the Kura-Kura line, costing about 60,000 IDR (roughly £3).
- Many Ubud eateries now enforce a zero-waste BYO-container policy for takeaway; the local government has fined three cafes this year for non-compliance.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Tutick House, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the upper floors (2nd or 3rd) facing the back garden or pool – these are quieter and get more afternoon light in Ubud's valley setting. The top floor rooms also catch the breeze.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid any ground-floor rooms near the lobby or reception area – they suffer footfall noise from check-ins and staff. Also skip rooms facing the front street (Jl. Raya Ubud or a side lane) as Ubud traffic can be loud from early morning.
Best views
Rooms overlooking the rear garden or a rice paddy (common in Ubud) give a lush, green outlook. The front view is the street and other buildings, so request 'garden view' or 'rice terrace view' specifically.
Quietest floors
2nd and 3rd floors (if a 3-storey building) – these sit above street level and away from ground activity.
🔊 Noise notes
Main noise sources: street traffic on Jl. Raya Ubud or connecting lanes (motorbikes start from 6am). Also morning temple ceremonies nearby (drums, chanting) – part of Ubud's charm but can wake light sleepers. Pool area can be busy with families in the afternoon.
Insider tips
1. Check-in early (by 1pm) to secure a top-floor garden-facing room – as a 3-star, they often assign cheap ground-floor rooms to late arrivals. 2. Ask if they offer earplugs or a 'quiet room' guarantee – many Ubud budget hotels do, but you have to request it.
- 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 ATMs for the best rate; avoid money changers on the main tourist strip and the airport — they often give poor rates or short-change you.
Cards are accepted at mid-range hotels, restaurants, and larger shops, but bring enough cash for warungs, markets, and taxis; contactless/mobile pay is rare outside upscale places.
Not expected, but appreciated: leave 10-20k IDR for a meal or round up taxi fares; hotel staff don't expect tips but small change is fine.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A cup of local Kopi Bali or iced coffee at a warung: around 15,000-25,000 IDR.
Nasi campur or mie goreng at a local warung: 30,000-50,000 IDR.

Coco Market and Bintang Supermarket are the main budget supermarkets; smaller minimarkets are ubiquitous.
Ubud Market and the shops along Jalan Monkey Forest sell cheap cotton clothes, batik, and sarongs; bargain hard to start at 50% of the asking price.
A bemo (public minibus) costs about 10,000-20,000 IDR per ride on set routes; from the airport, take a shared shuttle (Grab or Kura-Kura bus) for around 150,000-200,000 IDR — avoid airport taxis.
Eat at warungs away from the main tourist streets; drink tap water only if boiled — buy large bottles from a supermarket; haggle at markets but not at fixed-price shops.

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.
