This is like a lovely little unassuming oasis that is tucked away, right in the middle of busy Ubud. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The gardens are beautiful. I love staying here.

The room had enough space, huge bathroom and a bar fridge. The tea station also with kettle to make tea. The staff gave me a cake and sang for my birthday that happened during my stay. That really meant a lot and made my day more special ❤️. They help with luggage to the room and from the room when you checkout. That was very helpful indeed 😊. One could order room service when you don't want to go to the restaurant. It felt like true honey away from home.
The roof was leaking when it rained. It was not bad but it needs to be attended to. On the bed there was some small things like grain on the mattress making it uncomfortable when sleeping. But overall it was fine.

The individual cottages and balconies were great for privacy. The gardens immaculate. The staff were all welcoming and friendly. The in house restaurant had very good value for money food and some entertainment. Pool was clean, cool and had plenty of chairs. There is an easy walk to either Bisma JL or Monkey Forrest JL to many shops, restaurants and other services. Some great rice fields walks near by.
Everything was good.

The hotel was great at giving utmost service for me and my friend. The hotel was at the center of Ubud and everything was easy with acoustic music at night while we enjoy our meal at the restaurant. They even extend help since I forgot my passport in the vault so they were able to send it to me via grab safely. I’d really appreciate what they did for me. Keep it up!!!

The grounds are beautiful and well-maintained. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I really appreciated the luggage service - especially as there are a lot of stairs. The breakfast was tasty each morning.
The room had a lot of bugs in it, and while they weren't directly affecting me, they did fly into me sometimes. The rooms are quite old and worn down. The pillows were too firm.

6.0 / 10.0
- Perfect location for walking around Ubud center
- beautiful scenario with nice rooms scattered in nature (apart from the one unfortunate on top of the reception)
- Breakfast choices are limited, no buffet is available
- We had two rooms, one of which was (the only one) on top of the reception where it was very loud in the morning due to traffic and the music in the restaurant.

We have stayed here a number of times before. Primarily due to location. It’s on Jalan Bisma, a nice street but also has a bridge at the back of the property that takes you to Jalan Monkey Forest. A great shortcut.
Staff, as always, are indifferent. Not the nice welcome you get in other properties here. We use another property on the same street and same price; get a nice welcome.
The room this time smelt of damp.
We rented two bungalows (travelling with friends) and the other one was fine.
My wife went to reception after dinner to ask if any other bungalows available as she didn’t like the smell: told no. A friend of ours decided to stay rather than drive home to seminyak, he was able to book a bungalow a Nicks via booking. com. At 22:00. It was showing a number of bungalows available.
Everything is starting to look tired, needs a refurb. We had broken power points in our room.
I would add that the service for breakfast in the restaurant is much better.

The staff were fabulous. They were so sweet, kind and accommodating. They were so lovely and friendly and they made my stay very comfortable. The food, smoothies and drinks were lovely too. The location was perfect. It was within walking distance of shops, restaurants, bars etc. There was entertainment in the evening from musicians to Balinese dancers. The pool and the grounds are lovely too. It is a very peaceful place off a busy street with lovely views and sounds from nature. The room was very spacious and clean and there was always hot water and the shower facilities were perfect. My room was cleaned daily and clean towels provided each morning. I would have loved to have stayed here longer. Thanks to everyone at Nick’s Pension for my lovely stay.
The massage parlour next door to the property wasn’t my favourite of all the ones I visited in Bali unfortunately.

This place is conveniently located . I had a bungalow at the end of. So quiet and green and yet so close to MF road . The room was big, clean and convenient with a strong airco and burning hot shower water and even a bath. I can not talk about the breakfast because I skipped them . I definitely will go back to Nicks place next time in ubud
There is nothing to complain about. Be aware it’s a big place so need to walk up and down a lot . I advice also a torch or use your handy at night .

Good location, loads of restaurants and nice places around. walkable distance to monkey forest. Room was large size good size balcony also. Breakfast was fairly below expectation and not satisfactory at all!
Noisy room, located above reception with noise at all time. Close to restaurant with a very loud live music with super poor quality voice. Could simply be less loud to not to annoy people staying there, dirty and old all over the room and bathroom was horrendous. Very very out of date, seems like a garage place, full of spider web and old style. Needs a real update, which needed to be done years ago...

The outlook was great. Lovely gardens and liked the balinese looking exteriors. The location was really handy to the main area and tucked away so was private and quiet
The bed squeaked with any movement so we didn't sleep that well. The pool whilst was cooling had a really strong clorine smell. Breakfast had limited choices. They could do with adding more lights to the steps going to the lower rooms as difficult to see.

Very close to main Street but still holds close to nature feel. Walk down to the cottage through small rice field felt really nice.
Rooms interior felt old. Bathrooms require renovation.

Good location, good staff, nice breakfast, lovely gardens.
Security is lacking, the room is locked by a small padlock on a clasp, which has exposed screws, so a child with a screwdriver could remove 2 screws and gain access to the room, to make things worse the security box didn't work despite 2 members of staff trying to fix it with no success. The room was reasonably clean but lots of mould on the bathroom curtain. Bedding tired and worn.

Reception staff. Bed comfy. Location.
Money stolen on my last day (7 May 2025) from my luggage. Popped it in there quickly instead of locking it away as trusted the place. Only ducked out for an hour and half before we left for airport and didn’t notice it until I got to airport. Approximately $180AUD in IDR. My husband is going to advise the police to be aware of this place. This money was for my grandchildren who are going to Bali in June. And I am not wealthy. Bad Karma. Shower was cold too.

It was a perfect location, the room was very spacious. Grita and Ayu were so lovely, actually all of the staff couldn't do enough for me and a big bonus was having filtered water in the reception.
I am used to a television but in a way it was probably good to have a holiday without one. Also I personally found the bed a bit too hard but some people might find it good.

Nicks is very well located between Jl Bisma and Jl Monkey Forest. You can easily walk into Ubud through Nicks and over a little bridge, nice! Breakfast is great with a choice of Indonesian and western options. They've got a nice pool too. The room has a nice little lanai to sit and enjoy the outdoors which is especially nice at night.
The AC worked great but was a little noisy. There were no tissues in the room but otherwise I have no concerns.
