In Reply to: Ubud: Kebun Indah - Kodok Room posted by barnaby on Tuesday, 30. June 2009 at 04:53 Bali Time:
Hi Adriana,
If the Kodok room is one of the smaller rooms directly under the Padi Room -which I think it is- then I can try to give you an idea...
Kebun Indah generally isnt the same level of luxury as the other Alam properties-it's more like a guesthouse but charming nonetheless.
The pick of the rooms is Cempaka which is down at the pool end of the complex -it has a lovely view over the rice padi at back and is just lovely for the money. Teahouse(?) one back from there is also sweet and offers a bit of privacy.
The rooms below the Padi room are really just a bedroom and bathroom-there's a shared verandah and no view to speak of-it's next to the main path so you'll get a bit of people traffic. Having said that for a guesthouse it's a very good standard, you'll get the customary Alam fabulous breakfast and if you just want a comfortable, clean place to sleep you'll be fine.
We've stayed a few times at Alam Shanti and we love it there with a passion but Kebun Indah has its charms to and infinitely more economical.
Hope this is helpful.
