The Slow

麻了 臨街比你想象的更吵 。 其他沒問題，裝修在線，服務不錯。

服務態度還不錯 酒店設施一般 晚上酒吧音樂十二點結束 對早睡的人有點吵

The hotel advertises itself as a place to relax and slow down. And it is that. Except between 4pm and midnight when a DJ plays music to five customers and your $300 a night room throbs with it. Whole stay spoiled and laying here feeling more stressed than I would at home. Don’t bother.

The slow is everything but what it is trying to be. First it is not a place to “slow”down. I get it, its in the heart of Canggu. Still, nothing about the construction is making you feel relaxed: rooms opening to the bar, very noisy, noisy road is meters away, guest coming at 2am drunk screaming, continus footsteps from the top floor…. Terrible nights. The rooms, yes designer look, built cheaply. Here is an image of the bedroom door as exemple, not acceptable for this price. Everything is run down, feels like nobody cares. The amenities are deplorable. Again i get it, you want to look “cool” and have no tv or no coffee in the room. It doesn’t mean you have to treat us like cattle. The is no water kettle, no teas, nothing. They tell you to buy your coffre and it is the highest price on the street (48k Rp for black coffee). I mean cone on, you have 12 rooms, you pretend you run like a boutique hotel… far from it. So avoid it at any cost.

Theres no doubt that the rooms are lovely - large and contemporary rather than typical Balinese style. There is no tea coffee facilities or even a kettle which was very disappointing for a hotel of this standard. It is in a busy area of town so close to the beach and restaurants etc. This does mean lots of traffic and noise and unable to open windows but that is the pay off for the location. The hotel lacks any outdoor space which is a shame. There is a roof terrace but when we went up with a drink there were a few staff there on the chairs, smoking. They didnt offer us a seat so we left. Such a missed opportunity to make this a nice space for guests. We had booked breakfast included but the breakfast menu then given is different and limited from what is shown online. So turned out not very vegan friendly as expected unless paid for something from main menu. They just remove anything from menu offered then they charge extra for oat milk in the one small coffee you get with your breakfast! We didnt then eat dinner there and didnt see anyone else eat there in the evenings which seemed strange considering the places round about it were very busy. Ovarall felt it was a bit overpriced and wouldnt stay there again.

We have visited Bali many times and this is the first time we are staying in Canggu. The Slow came recommended and sadly, it did not live up to expectations. Room was noisy (the street noise was loud even at 130am. Room was large and quite nice but it fell short with the lack of bathrobes and bedroom slippers. Walls are also thin - I can hear the neighbours next door. I would not recommend this to anyone who wants a good night’s sleep
