We
stayed
at
NHC
for
5
days
and
it
was
our
safe
haven
when
visiting
all
places
we
planned
to
do
so.
Location:
Firstly,
one
has
to
mention
the
lovely
entrance
to
the
cottage
at
the
end
of
a
small
path
in
the
rice
fields.
It’s
only
a
5-minute
walk
to
the
center
of
Ubud
but
crucially
provides
the
necessary
quietness
that
one
seeks.
The
street
on
the
other
side
of
the
entrance/rice
field
is
one
with
several
bars,
restaurants
and
spa.
All
that
you
look
for
is
close!
Accommodation:
The
buildings
themselves
look
and
feel
like
an
authentic
Balinese
homestay.
The
pool
is
relatively
small
but
has
a
very
nice
vibe
(as
if
your
swimming
in
a
temple!).
It
doesn’t
have
sufficient
beds,
however
so
you
can
be
forced
to
sit
on
one
bed
together
or
not
on
a
bed
at
all!
I
was
informed
that
the
complex
was
built
specifically
as
a
hotel
(with
a
Balinese/Indonesian
owner)
and
that
it
was
20+
years
old.
Room:
The
age
was,
however,
unfortunately
noticeable
in
the
rooms
and
sometimes
around
the
complex.
As
in
other
reviews
about
this
stay,
everything
felt
a
bit
outdated
(older
phones,
window
and
door
frames
that
are
made
of
old
wood,
a
non-functional
hairdryer,
old/insufficient
beds
at
the
pool,
etc.)
This
has
forced
me
to
remove
one
star
from
the
total.
The
bed
itself
is
quite
comfortable
(am
writing
on
it
at
the
moment)
and
has
a
nicely
functioning
insect
net.
The
room
is
spacious
and
has
a
nice
balcony
with
traditional
style
doors
and
2
seats.
It
also
has
a
nice
view
into
the
tropical
forest
from
the
side!
There
is
a
closet
for
your
clothing,
although
it
is
not
very
luxurious.
The
bathroom
features
a
bath/shower
combination
without
curtain
so
it
can
get
quite
wet.
It
is
however
quite
large
so
you
can
still
stand
at
a
dry
part.
Staff
and
services:
The
staff
at
NHD
is
very
friendly
and
will
have
a
chat
with
you
in
case
you
feel
like
it.
They
will
also
help
you
out
with
any
request
you
need
at
a
fair
rate
(be
it
scooter
rental
or
logistics
to
your
next
location).
Breakfast
is
served
at
a
rate
of
50k/per
person
if
you
don’t
book
it
in
advance
(which
is
a
good
price
for
breakfast).
The
choice
for
breakfast
is
simple;
either
Indonesian
cuisine
(Nasi
or
Mi
Goreng)
or
‘American’,
which
is
just
egg
with
toast
and
2
slices
of
backed
potato.
All
breakfast
will
also
include
either
fresh
fruit
(or
juice)
and
coffee
or
tea.
The
breakfast
room
is
an
open
area
with
a
nice
view
on
the
complex
and
abundant
flora
and
fauna
around
(you
can
see
squirrels
jumping
on
the
palmtrees
around
you
if
you’re
lucky).
It’s
a
nice
and
quite
atmosphere.

We
would
recommend
to
stay
at
Nick’s
Hidden
Cottage.
It’s
inexpensive
and
offers
the
nice
and
quite
surrounding
that
you
are
looking
for
after
a
long
day
in
the
busy
streets
Ubud
and
surroundings.
