The 14-room Lumbung Sari Cottages is a charming mid-range property located in the heart of Ubud. There isn’t much in the way of amenities besides a cafe open for breakfast only, and a small though lovely pool with a swim-up bar and a handful of loungers, but rates are competitive for the location and include Wi-Fi, breakfast, afternoon tea, and shuttle service within the downtown Ubud area. Clean rooms have flat-screen TVs, minibars, air-conditioning, and electric kettles. Decor is simple in all, but each room has a few local touches, along with a balcony with serene garden views. Some bathrooms, however, could use an update. Travelers seeking something with a few more on-site amenities may want to consider the Agung Raka Resort & Spa, which has two pools and a spa, and is generally a few dollars cheaper.

The 18-room Ubud Bungalow is a budget hotel located right in the middle of downtown Ubud, a six-minute walk from the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary. This is a quiet, peaceful place with humble, traditional style plus beautiful gardens and a lovely outdoor pool. Superior Rooms -- of which there are only four -- have air-conditioning and mini-fridges, but Standard Rooms are un-air-conditioned and bare bones -- none have TVs. All have nice terraces or balconies with garden views, but having to leave windows open for air means noise in rooms near the road. Breakfast is free and includes dishes like pancakes and eggs plus fresh fruit or juice. Check out the Tegal Sari as well. It's another budget option in town, but it's popular and frequently needs to be booked at least six months ahead.

Situated 25-minutes north of Ubud, this 17-room, upper-middle-range property is simpler than many in the area, but can be a decent value for couples and families looking for the private villa experience. One- and Two-Bedroom Villas are modern and feature full kitchens and private plunge pools, though the decor and design isn't quite as stylish as many properties in Ubud. The hotel also features an on-site restaurant with free breakfast, an outdoor pool, many activities, and a free area shuttle. Guests looking for a bit more style who don't mind being outside central Ubud may want to check out Kamandalu Ubud, though not all of its authentic villas have pools.

The 28-room Puri Sunia Resort is a well-presented, upper-mid-range property with a tasteful blend of traditional Balinese charm and chic, modern touches. The location can feel a little remote from the Ubud tourist center, though this also adds to the peaceful atmosphere. There are two serene outdoor pools, a spa, and a spacious yoga pavilion on-site. Rooms are fresh and pleasant, with particularly nice bathrooms (and big soaking tubs) while villas include private plunge pools. Those looking for fast access to Ubud's center should look elsewhere, but this friendly, charming, and reasonably priced resort is certainly worth a look.

The 15-room Saren Indah Hotel is a family-owned, mid-range property with an Old Bali vibe. It is one of the older hotels in the area, located in Nyuh Kuning village, with both the popular Monkey Forest and bustling Ubud a short distance away on foot. Although starting to look a little old, rooms are well-maintained with four-poster beds draped with mosquito nets, spacious bathrooms, and peaceful balconies overlooking lovely rice fields. There is an outdoor pool with lounge chairs and an open-air spa on-site. Wi-Fi is free, but signal strength can be inconsistent. Overall, guests willing to overlook the slightly dated feel of the place will get a good value stay -- especially if they're a fan of monkeys who occasionally drift over from the nearby sanctuary.
