Ubud stay for family with elderly: Budget hostel vs. Mid-range hotel? Need advice on comfort and accessibility!

Namaste everyone! My husband and I are planning a trip to Ubud in July with my 70-year-old mother. We are looking for a comfortable stay that is also budget-friendly, as we are travelling for nearly two weeks. While I initially thought about a hostel to save costs, I am worried about my mother's comfort and the accessibility for her. She can walk moderately but struggles with many stairs or long distances. Are there any mid-range hotels (ideally under 6000 INR/night) that offer good value, perhaps with an elevator or ground-floor rooms, and are close to vegetarian food options and temples? Or are there any specific 'family' hostels that are surprisingly comfortable and have private rooms with attached baths? We don't mind basic, but cleanliness and safety are paramount. Any personal experiences or recommendations would be highly appreciated!

Yo, July in Ubud sounds like a good mission. For your mom, hostels are gonna be a huge ping spike. Forget about finding one with an elevator or easy access; it's mostly stairs and bunk beds. Not optimal for a 70 HP character. You're better off looking at a mid-range hotel. For under 6000 INR, you can definitely snag something decent. Check out places a bit off the main drag like Jalan Hanoman or Jalan Gootama. They're usually flatter and quieter. A lot of these hotels will have ground floor rooms available if you ask, and some might even have a lift. Ping them directly before booking to confirm. For food and temples, Ubud is basically a giant spawn point for both. You'll find vegetarian options everywhere, no sweat. Just make sure the hotel isn't too far out, or you'll be burning through taxi money. Look for spots with a pool too; your mom might appreciate chilling there after exploring. Good luck with the grind!
