I think Nyepi would be bad if you had kids to try and entertain, but for me last year, it was a great experience. We spent it at the Honeymoon Guesthouse in Ubud and we all ate communal lunch and dinner and shared stories about where we'd been and where we were going and it was just a great occasion. Also forced us to relax for a whole day which is sometimes difficult to do when you want to go and see as many things as possible in the short amount of time you're there.
So yes, you are locked in your hotel for 24hrs with absolutely no chance of leaving. Noise and light to be kept to a minimum.
