Hotel Tugu Canggu, Bali
Expert reviews
“Right at Batu Bolong Beach, this exquisite hotel blurs the boundaries between accommodation and a museum-gallery, especially the Walter Spies and Le Mayeur Pavilions, where memorabilia from the artists’ lives decorates the rooms.”
“Eccentric and exotic family-run Hotel Tugu is a welcome dose of whimsy on Bali’s south-west coast. Crammed with Indonesian and Chinese curios, the hotel has been by Canggu’s favourite surfing and sundown beach for years – long before the buzzing bars that now surround this pretty pocket of thatched teak suites.”

Great place
Probably the most interesting hotel I’ve been to, in terms of its architecture, design and decor. The hotel staff were the most professional and nicest I’ve encounter in my several weeks travel in Bali and Indonesia. The room had almost everything you need (amazing bathtub!), and we could have easily stayed longer if we could. The traditional show each Thursday evening shouldn’t be missed. There are also Yoga classes, a tour around and Spa which we didn’t have the chance to try but looked good.
Not the hotel’s fault but there’s a loud music from the beach club during the night is quite bad, we could still hear it with the earplugs and basically you can’t sleep until 01:00am when the music finally stops. But if you like going out at night and don’t mind sleeping late then it’s fine. Other minor things were the bed mattress which wasn’t entirely balanced and was lower a bit on the right side of the bed creating some back pain the day after, and the bathtub’s plug which was difficult to remove (would be good to add a handle or a string to it to help pull it out) after finishing a bath. But none of these are enough to take off points as it was still a great stay overall!

Really great authentic little accommodation in Canngu. The hotel is over 20 years old but has been maintained very well and has a very authentic and charming vibe. Canngu has changed a lot over the years and the music from the venue next door can be loud on the weekend nights (until 2 or 3am) but they provide ear plugs. It's nice to see that a hotel adapts to the changes around them. Breakfast options are good too Western and Balinese options available. Private pool in the room was great and their is also plenty of green around. Really enjoyed our stay at Tugu Bali and will always remember when we look at the little keepsakes the staff gave us as we checked out. The hotel is unique in it's own right and if your looking for tranquility, a great location and SUPER friendly staff then Tugu is the place to be.

4 nights at Hotel Tugu..Superb.
The location to the beach and shops. The Hotel was beautifully decorated, the rooms were spacious and superbly serviced. The staff were so lovely. .
Everything was fabulous. A little bit of noise from the nearby club, but that's not the hotels doing. They provided earplugs which was helpful.

Best place for a Canggu stay
Our stay here was wonderful! The staff were so polite and attentive at all times. The ammenities were always clean and someone was always around to answer any questions. The restaurant food was delicious and they catered for requests. Some of Canggu’s late night party spots are right out the front of this accommodation however you wouldn’t know once in your room. It is so quiet and peaceful inside.

Amazing hotel and super friendly staff.
The staff were super friendly a the hotel/space is really well appointed and maintained. The food from the hotel was great and the view from their rooftop bar was an added bonus.
There was some noise from local bars which went quite late, but that isn't the fault of the hotel.

excellent large and comfortable room in great location.
large room, comfortable bed which was complimented with private plunge pool. location of property was only 50 metres from Canggu Main beach.
water from shower in room 104 was of very low pressure and mainly cold water. also music from The Lawn next door was very loud.

Location and value both unbeatable!
location is so central to everything in Canggu and the staff were all so friendly ! it’s very quiet and most times you feel like you’re the only ones staying there
pool was lacking, we ended opting for The Lawn around the corner one day which is a beach-front pool/restaurant. The room key was excessively large & impractical but you were able to leave it with reception.

Excellent location, friendly staff and overall great experience. Will definitely visit again.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Also great location, walking distance to plenty of great cafes, restaurants and the beach.

We had a wonderful stay here, the staff were so kind and attentive especially when we thought we had lost our key! We felt very welcome and the lovely little gift at the end was a really kind gesture and a lovely souvenir. The room was exceptional with the private pool and love the bathroom with the fish! Thank you for everything

Luxurious Balinese hotel near surf hotspot
Perfect location for those wanting to surf. only a fee metres away from the beach. The hotel is beautiful, with lots of wooden villas in traditional Balinese style. One of our kids thought they resembled tree houses. Friendly staff, great breakfast.

A wonderful stay!
Beautifully decorated room, very comfortable bed, lovely and helpful staff, clean private pool. Location was great, right on the Main Street of Canggu, so no issues with food options and money exchanges.
Floors were slightly dusty. The sunken tub was part of a shower and tub combo, so if you had mobility issues, this would definitely be difficult to manage. The villa that we had was backed onto a restaurant/bar(?) so you can hear chatter and music, but that stops at 9pm.

Unique hotel in amazing location
The rooms were huge. The Japanese restaurant was excellent and amazing upstairs bar. I loved the history of the hotel and all it represents. Also loved the outdoor bathroom and room pools. Yoga was great. Laundry was amazing. Loved the personal messages on old paper. Old style Bali - perfect. Excellent staff and online responsiveness.
Things they could improve: Not a big issue but it was hard to fit our legs under the dining room tables on the ground floor. Morning coffee could be stronger. Ensure bircher muesli available every morning. Scheduled short tours of the property would be good. I would like to know more of the history and story behind the hotel. The vacant land next to the room my teenage boys were in was a bit unpleasant.

Gorgeous hotel
Gorgeous property. Well-maintained, as well. The beds and sheets are fantastic. Food at the restaurant is good and some dishes were amazing (crispy pork belly!). The staff are great, so kind, and very friendly. While this was definitely our most expensive hotel in Bali, it was good value for money and we didn’t feel like every little thing incurred an additional charge, as it sometimes does in 4* and 5* hotels. We didn’t love Canggu as a place to visit, but we would absolutely stay here again just to stay in this hotel.
Unfortunately the bars and temples outside of the property are loud. The hotel can’t do anything about that, realistically, but they do provide pretty good earplugs.
