Tegal Sari Accommodation Ubud Review 2026: Budget Bali Gem

✅ Close to Monkey Forest, walkable to nearby restaurants

✅ Features swimming pools and a dedicated yoga space

1. Tegal Sari Hotel Ubud

If you're planning a trip to Bali, you've likely heard whispers about Tegal Sari in Ubud. It's renowned as a fantastic value-for-money option.

Many travelers arrive in Denpasar late at night and use Tegal Sari as a comfortable, affordable stopover before heading to a more luxurious, pricier resort for the rest of their stay.

So, does 'budget-friendly' mean 'subpar'?

I wondered the same before my stay, but I was pleasantly surprised! I checked in immediately upon arrival.

Check-in: 2:00 PM

Check-out: 12:00 PM

After checking in, I was guided to my garden-side room, which involved a short walk along an outdoor path.

Navigating the outdoor path with luggage was a slight inconvenience, but the anticipation kept me going. The accommodations are split between a garden-facing section and a building closer to the check-in area. The price difference between the two sections wasn't substantial.

2. Tegal Sari Ubud Room Review

My Double Room with Terrace offered a lovely view overlooking the rice paddies. The weather was perfect for sitting out, but be warned: mosquitoes and other insects were abundant, making evening relaxation on the terrace a challenge.

Inside, one corner featured a vanity and desk,

while another had a lounge chair and sofa. The room wasn't compartmentalized, but it felt incredibly spacious.

The bed against the wall was a charming 'princess' style, complete with a canopy! With a double and a single bed, it seemed perfect for three people. Truly a spacious room!

While the princess bed felt a little whimsical, it was surprisingly effective at keeping bugs at bay, making for a comfortable night's sleep.

The bathroom included a toilet, bathtub, and shower, all in an open-plan layout without separate partitions.

There were guest notices and a wooden accessory whose purpose I couldn't quite decipher. Perhaps it's a unique hotel emblem? Checking in was straightforward, and the hotel offers various room types. These are generally divided into high-floor Twin Villas (with balconies), rooms near the check-in counter (with showers), and garden-view rooms (like the one pictured, with a terrace). Keep these options in mind when booking.

Common Room Types

1) Double Room (Terrace): The room type pictured here

2) Twin Room (Shower): Located in the check-in building

3) Twin Villa (Balcony): Offers high-floor views

3. Tegal Sari Ubud Facilities: Pools & Yoga Room

For a price of less than ~$69 per night, the rooms definitely get a thumbs up! So, what about the facilities?

Tegal Sari boasts two swimming pools and a dedicated yoga room. Yoga programs are scheduled by day and time, so if you're interested, it's a good idea to check at the front desk upon arrival. And yes, it's complimentary!

There's a rooftop pool next to the yoga room, and a garden pool on the ground floor. The rooftop pool is on the smaller side and, honestly, more of a pool on a rooftop than a true 'rooftop pool' with breathtaking views.

However, the ground-floor garden pool, as you can see, is perfect for photos and a refreshing dip.

At this point, you're probably thinking, 'Is this place really only ~$55 - ~$62 a night? What a steal!' I initially used it as a stopover before moving to a more upscale hotel after a late-night arrival, and I couldn't have been happier with my choice.

It's not just great for stopovers; it's also a fantastic option for enjoying a wonderful stay in Ubud on a smaller budget.

Comparing the three major hotel booking sites, you can typically find rooms for around ~$62 - ~$69. If you have loyalty points or a preferred platform, use that to your advantage!

QnA

Q. Is the hotel subpar because of its low price?

A. Absolutely not! With two pools and complimentary yoga programs, it's an incredible value. It's not just a stopover; it's a fantastic option for a stylish stay on a budget.

Q. What's the room condition like?

A. The rooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable. However, be aware that garden-facing rooms can have quite a few insects. I recommend considering this when booking.

Q. Some hotels offer 24-hour stays based on check-in time. Does this one?

A. While some hotels in places like Thailand or Vietnam offer 24-hour stays from your check-in time, Tegal Sari doesn't operate that way. Check-out times are strictly enforced.

Q. Are there any nearby attractions?

A. Before heading to your next hotel, you can store your luggage and easily walk to attractions like the Monkey Forest or Pigeon. Many Ubud hotels are a bit secluded, so I recommend enjoying the local eateries and shopping around Tegal Sari before moving on.
