Jani's Place Cottage: Review

5-star service for 3-star prices. Experience added extras like free daily activities, spacious guest rooms, free afternoon tea, and an evening turn-down service, usually reserved for uber-expensive resorts. Jani's Place Cottage gracefully combines modern style and conveniences with traditional Balinese décor and service excellence.

The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Ubud, a short walk from dozens of healthy restaurants, trendy bars, and popular attractions like the Sacred Monkey Forest. Reception can also arrange reasonably-priced day tours for guests wanting to venture further and explore Bali’s picturesque rice fields, waterfalls, and beaches.
