Ubud Hotel "Green Field"

View of the rice paddies from our room

We left Green Fields hotel the other day after spending a week there. Originally, we were only going to stay four nights but when we saw the lobby and then our rooms we decided that we should stay another few nights to make it a week.

The lobby is an open building and which overlooks a large lotus pond.  The restaurant  is open on one side and has marble flooring.  We're not the types to dine out much at home in Australia, so eating at the restaurant was a treat. We loved their food, the menu was diverse and the service always came with a smile.

The place lived up to it's first impressions.  The driver from Green Field who picked us up from the airport, in a near new van, was pleasant and chatty all the way to the hotel, which gave us both a good feeling about what to expect.  He was typical of all of the staff, so friendly and interesting to talk with.  Most of the staff apart from grounds staff wore beautiful traditional outfits which added to the Balinese feel of the hotel

Our room 406 (below) was decorated in Balinese style and more importantly we liked all of the rooms had a terrace or balcony overlooking the rice fields. It was so beautiful and peaceful.  We even walked out into the rice field one day when they were harvesting, threshing and winnowing rice, they were all so friendly.

There was a free shuttle service at call into and back from Ubud central. They were even able to recommend and book tours for us and we even paid them to drive us to a wood carver, silversmith and batik workshop.
