Pillow Inn Ubud

4 Deebee Focus - 3 years ago

Pros:
+ The two swimming pools and the common areas around them are very nice to have.
+ The dorms have massive lockers, so you can easily get your backpack in the lockers and other stuff if you want to.
+ Also the beds have an extra locker for some small things which is nice. + Beds have curtains and therefore you can get easily some rest in the night.
++ The free yoga classes in the morning are excellent and the yoga teachers vary, which is nice. It would be great if there was some more shade on the rooftop, maybe a light sun cover (awning?), but the class itself was very good.

Neutral:
- + - Breakfast and food is good, but if you go out there are a lot more options and most of the time even cheaper and very delicious.
- + - The toilets are clean and very tiny and you have to sqeeze a little bit into them to close the doors.

Cons:
- - However, the showers had some kind of worms crawling on the walls while showering. Also when i stayed there one out of three showers always didn't work (varied from day to day...)

Recap:
I stayed in better hostels, but if you want some good free yoga classes and pools to chill in Ubud and don't mind sqeezing into the toilets and maybe greet some worms in the shower... then go there. I enjoyed it mainly due to the yoga classes ;)

Would definitely NOT recommend this hostel. Overall it is meh... yes it has nice swimming pools, but that's about it. The staff is not helpful and everything is misleading. The BBQ is not really a barbecue. The allegedly "free drinks" is only one drink which is thinned down and not tasty at all. The toilets are terrible; you cannot sit on them properly, because of the toilet seat is completely loose. To make matters worse, the doors almost touch the toilet and open inwards; you can barely enter or get out. If you have somewhat long legs or are a bit bigger YOU CANNOT SIT ON THE TOILETS! And all this for one of the highest prices hostels? It wasn't even social or crowded when I was there. And then the worst... there was no yoga! They promise it everywhere, even on a huge sign at the reception; free yoga everyday, but there was none. Shame on you Pillow Inn.

Best hostel in Bali! Pillow Inn Hostel Ubud has the nicest staff who is willing to cater to your every need. Love the small details like the free drink upon arrival, organized social events, and the owner Jack who knows the name of every guest and can help you to organize tours and excursions. Rooms and bathrooms are kept clean several times a day. Yoga and breakfast in the mornings. Lots of cool people staying here from all over so great opportunities to meet new people and make friends, especially around the pools and rooftop bar.

Amazing hostel !! Can't say enough good things about this place. It feels like a big family here ! Pool during the day and always a fun activity at night on the rooftop with the bar there as well. Very social and friendly people everywhere so it is so nice as a solo backpacker ! I loved it and definitely will be visiting everytime I'm in Bali!:)

We had the best weekend and we wished we had more days to stay in Pillow Inn. The bed are good,no bed bugs. I had a little problem with the shower but the staff immediately fixed it.The staffs are friendly and helpful. It's a great place to socialize. They also have yoga in the morning which is great.

Beds were comfortable, but expected a more social vibe, especially on new year's Eve, but it was very quiet. Bathrooms at night were disgusting with a bug infestation coming out of the toilet and drains. Don't know if it was just that night but the bugs were everywhere. Was otherwise clean and bugs are probably common in the area. Staff was very friendly, held our bags for us, and booked a art tour thought them that was great!

The hostel is beautiful and location is okay too.
Super breakfast and free yoga classes in the morning which is super!
Just did not like the stairs to the upper beds (so high and steep and you had to jump a bit!).
The atmosphere was not the best (maybe too fancy for me!)
