Very cosy space for chilling and relaxing time
Minimal facilities and we didn’t know about the lounge area at the top floor until the day we left
5.0 / 10.0
On the surface, aesthetically The Slow is beautiful - gorgeous furnishings, stylish decor and cute add ons like the music button to instantly fill the place with ambient sounds. Proportions were nice.
I booked the Slow based on it having The Slow Kitchen & Bar which is advertised as onsite and with live music / DJs and facilities like breakfast and coffee available. In short, a fundamental reason I booked was for the ease and convenience. 48 hours before the visit I was told breakfast would be available but the kitchen was temporarily unavailable so I could take it in my room if I preferred. However on check in I was informed there is no on site restaurant / coffee facilities / breakfast and hasn’t been since 2016. Despite complaining directly, this wasn’t adequately addressed and despite requesting a partial monetary contribution / partial refund to account for this, it was refused. It’s still being advertised as having this onsite. Booking.com also failed to address or reply to my concerns.
There is a martini bar, but no coffee or tea available in the room. The door to the bathroom didn’t close fully - fine if you’re solo but not if you’re sharing the room with someone.

The rooms are spacious and cool design.
I’ve been to this property 3 times. Firstly, they removed the reception and the cafe. It’s now replaced with Baked which feels bit odd as a hotel. Our room was near the bathroom so we kept bumping into people when we walked out of our room.
The noise is crazy so you can’t really sleep. It’s not what it used to be. Such a shame!

Our friends weee staying there for one night. They checked-out immediately the next day as they could not sleep due to the noise from the street. Zero noise isolation.
We had to cancel due to food poisoning. They requested proactively a doctors certificate so they could refund us. We sent it. After that they said that they still need to look into it and never replied back. What type of behavior is this?!?!

AMAZING. Came here to photo the building (I am an Architect). The Architecture exceeded expectations.
Nothing. Simply that I didn't stay long enough! Absolutely incredible.

The internals of the room itself were lovely. Great decor and mood and couldn’t fault the room itself.
No communal pool to use. Restaurant not open and noisy with construction and workers. Very noisy location of our room next to side street/lane way both day and night. Sliding glass doors and windows to room are not sound proof so motorbike and street noise very loud.

Such a beautiful space and the staff were AMAZING and so helpful and friendly. There were a lot of really lovely details in the room and the facilities too that made it special, e.g. complementary DIY espresso martinis, plus all of the complementary bits and bobs in the bathroom like earplugs, inspect repellent etc. the sound system in the room was a cool touch too. Everything felt really stylish and well thought out.
The staff were also kind enough to offer me a free breakfast both days to apologize for the construction on their restaurant. The food was really great and the staff were super attentive and easy to communicate with via WhatsApp. Super central area as well and close to lots of great restaurants etc and the beach.
I was a little bit disappointed after booking to find out that there was no communal pool available, this wasn’t apparent to me via the listing as photos of a pool come up (I appreciate now that there is only one room that has a pool within), and I only found out after receiving a message from booking.com with my confirmation. I would recommend including this in the listing clearly as the images are deceiving.
The sound was also incredibly hard to sleep with, despite using the earplugs (I’m also not a light sleeper generally). It would be great if the owners could look into double glazing or a better soundproof solution, because I think the place could be really really great if that were fixed :)

The room and pool are beautifully designed, close to many restaurants, and walking distance to the beach.

Perfect location, the room was spacious and the interiors were great, staff were attentive, and then breakfast menu was delicious. Overall great experience and I would stay here again.
We had a room with a private pool and the door didn’t appear to be sound proof as lots of noise came in which made it difficult to sleep at times.

The suite was super spacious and well designed in terms of space. Every touch of furnishing was beautiful and turn down service was thoughtful every night.
Lack of bar/restaurant at the lobby.

We loved our stay at The Slow. The room was spacious, a modern slick design, with a cool aesthetic and vibe.
The downside was the noise. Whilst we were prepared for some noise being right on a Main Street. You could hear everything including people talking outside. We requested a room away from the street however our room was on a side street where staff parked their bikes. Unfortunately, it made it really hard to stay asleep at night, which took away from an otherwise amazing stay with great staff that were very helpful and attentive.

This is our second stay . We love the location and the staff are really friendly and helpful . Large rooms and comfortable beds. good wardrobe space also . A complimentary breakfast was offered which was generous
A few nights were really noisy with traffic and dogs.
It’s a shame that the cafe was closed and the lobby space had lost its vibe a little - we loved being able to sit out the front and have a morning coffee and watch the world go by.

fantastic room, bed was comfortable and exceeded expectations there
I booked here as it is advertised as having a bar and a bit of a social vibe where, as traveling alone, I could meet people but the bar was only open for breakfast and this was not commutated beforehand. Real shame that there is no pool and that it felt very flat - absolutely no social scene which was the whole reason I booked. Also noisy - not that this could be helped due to location but I felt I needed to get away as it was a little intense at night.

I really loved my stay at The Slow. The room was beautiful l spacious, well designed, and they were super generous with what they provided. It definitely has a great aesthetic and vibe.
The only major downside was the noise. The windows have almost no sound insulation, so I could hear everything; traffic, people talking, even the reception phone ringing. Unfortunately, it made it really hard to stay asleep at night, which took away from an otherwise amazing stay.

I loved the location, I loved the decor, the scale and the private pool. The staff were super helpful. I also loved the service that freely flows from the restaurant cafe, despite being a separate business they work seamlessly together. Would definitely stay there again.

Amazing place. The rooms are stunning: spacious, minimalist, and filled with natural light. Waking up to the soft sounds of the neighborhood and sipping coffee from the in-room bar felt like a morning ritual worth savouring. The bed? Like sleeping in a cloud.

If you are looking to stay in Canggu close to the beach/bars then this is a great spot. We had our own private pool which was perfect as we were there during Nyepi (day of silence) unfortunately there was no outdoor seating provided, just a couple of skinny cushions which didn’t provide much comfort on the hard concrete. The restaurant provided very yummy modern Mexican and we could basically order any time we liked. I ended up with Bali belly on my day of check out and the staff were absolutely so understanding and accommodating to my needs, which I really appreciate. Definitely a good spot for a short stay.

Great room design, although I highly recommend adding a tv. Really is the users choice if they want to use it or not.
The windows are not sound proofed. You can see daylight between the frames . As such all external street noise, lobby dj noise and general staff entrance/leaving noise seeps into the room like a sieve.

Beautiful hotel! Huge rooms and bathroom. Would recommend and definitely stay again. In a great spot in central Canggu.
Private pool was great.
Personally would prefer different pillows. But honestly was great!
