Puri Asri Villa & Spa Bali Indonesia. Best Hotel Deals & Reviews

Date of Stay: January, 2007

We returned on Saturday after 14 wonderful days in Bali - still feeling a bit disoriented and finding it difficult to get into the groove of my usual routine. Feel like I have been to the Moon and back! After Sanur, we stayed at Puri Asri Villa and Spa in Nyuh kuning village, Beautifully located in Ubud, Bali and built in Balinese Architecture and has a private garden, lush forest. We stayed in the family villas and loved our accommodation - two bedrooms, comfy beds etc. I cannot speak more highly of the staff at Puri Asri Villa - by the end of our stay we had become very close to them as they had to us.

Enjoyed our stay at Puri Asri We booked 7 nights stay at the Executive Villa with the property directly early this year, after comparing the prices and facilities with other options on the internet. Then I came across the Horrible reviews on tripadvisor, and got really nervous about my choice. Still I decided to give it a go, as I usually lock up all my bags when I travel, after had encountered theft in hotels twice before (once in Bangkok and once in Melbourne). Overall we enjoyed our stay at Puri Asri. Staff were all very warm and friendly. When we checked in, they gave us an upgrade to the suite villa, which is bigger with a kitchen and additional dining/sitting area to the side of the bedroom. Our villa was lovely, with a little yard in the front. At front of the villa, there is a tiled terrace area with chairs. The villa was clean and tiled, with double sized bed, TV, fridge, bedside tables, dressing table, wardrobe (lockable, and we brought our own lock), and air-con. Lighting in the villa is also good. The bathroom is clean and adequate with shower over bath, toilet and washing basin; and fresh towels everyday. The hot water is fairly strong there. Since it is an semi-open bathroom, the management provided mossy coil everyday. The grounds was lovely with lush/colorful plants all around. There are 5 villas altogether, each with a little courtyard like ours, so the ambiance is quiet and peaceful. The pool is at the back of the property. It was clean and of a good size and depth (about 11-12m long and 1.4-1.5m deep for the adult section; and the children pool section is abit smaller and shallower). Breakfast was included in the room rate, and it was alright. As for lunch and dinner, there are so many remarkable restaurants in Ubud, I would not recommend to eat in hotel. Close to Puri Asri, there are two restaurant, Laka Leke (sister restaurant with Cafe Wayan), and Chilli Cafe. Both are very good, and reasonably priced. The spa Alam Wangi is a bit pricey, but worth the money. From Puri Asri, it was an easy walk to Monkey Forest Road by the walk way around the Monkey Forest (a lot of locals uses it and many ride scooters on it). In the evening the path can be quite dark, though with a torch it should not be a problem. The money changer near the Monkey Forest (Pt Dirgahayu Valuta Prima) is a safe place to change money with good rates. Note that it closes a bit early at about 5pm. There are other branches of Dirgahayu in Ubud and other cities that close later, check out on http://www.balibestrate.com. Central Kuta on JL Raya Ubud is also good too. The transportation service provided by Puri Asri was fantastic. Driver(s) always turn up quickly after request, and very patient with our request (when we have a few quick stops to go to within Ubud area). I guess this would be an advantage of staying at a small establishment. Having said all these good things about staying at Puri Asri, I would also like to point out a few negative things observed and hopefully these can be amended easily: 1. The outdoor shower looks lovely, but with its black stones on the floor, it is very difficult to clean. Having seen some hair stuck between the stones, I avoided the outdoor shower all together. Suggestion: replace the floor with tiles. 2. Some tiles on the swim-up stools were loss. Suggestion: replace them as soon as possible. 3. The massage beds do not have holes in it, instead little pillows were used to rest heads. Suggestion: replace the beds with the ones with hole for the head, it is much more comfortable. Having in mind that Puri Asri is not a posh 5 star luxurious place, I am quite happy with my time spent there and I was also happy to see that they were almost fully booked everyday when I was there (I was a little surprised at first though). Everyone in Puri Asri made effort to make our stay pleasant, to that I am most grateful. I do not doubt that things like theft as reported by the previous reviewers could have happened, as this could have happened anywhere. Therefore I would also like to thank the previous reviewers for preparing me beforehand and avoiding possible disasters.

Puri Asri made my travel terrible in Bali I bit some stones when I ate Nasi Goreng which they served and became very sick- enteritis- during I stayed there. Refrigerator in Puri Asri Kitchen was almost garbage can. I think their lack of awareness of hygiene would cause all the disease to guests who stay there. Male staffs who seems like managers there they do not know what the services are and low quality of people. They enjoyed talking about guests with other staffs in front of guests or sometimes during guests were eating breakfast and sometimes forgot to serve breakfast. The hotel staffs there think that guests do not understand Balinese language. I tried to explain my problem in there but their service never changed and sometimes foul my name in Balinese language with other staffs in front of me... Puri Asri villa was the most terrible hotel which I have experienced in my life. Cheap hotel and cheap service. If you have a plan to visit Bali, choose quantity or quality would become a issue. I recommend you to choose quality even though you pay more. Puri Asri Villa, Ubud they suggest cheap hotel rate but do not forget it also included cheap and low quality of service...
