Shankara Accomodation Ubud

Not accessible by car, and have to walk through an alley to get there (photos). If this had been stated on the Trip app description, it could have been fine as we’d have the option to decide to go for it anyway, but it wasn’t, therefore we arrived with our suitcases to be met with a massive ramp and then an alley and no car access. Once we called the hotel they came collect our things, but if we didn’t have a working phone we’d be in a pickle. So although the location is super central, it’s not too easy to pop to the hotel and out, which lost the purpose a bit of having a base near town. Staff was super nice and tried to cater for everything we asked, including changing the mini bar as the original one was broken. The room is spacious and looks nice, so do the communal areas of the hotel. Te bed and pillows are very comfortable and it has a nice balcony (on the deluxe bedroom). The shower was really weak, very little water pressure and actually had to manage to shower. The communal kitchen was incredibly dirty. The room was clean, but the bathroom a bit smelly.

Amazing and welcoming staff. They helped us with locating the hotel and other things. The area is beautiful. You can't reach it by car, it's difficult for bikes, too. Traveloka didn't know the place (don't use Shankara Yoga Shalla). There were cockroaches in our rooms. Other insects too, but it's a jungle. The walls have a few ornament holes, so anything can get inside through them
