The hotel is a classic, with a jaw-dropping view of the Wos River Basin. It was constructed on the side of the ravine, around the original house built for Walter Spies, the Austrian artist & composer, who settled in Ubud a century ago. The Spies house has been refurbished, and is on offer as the premium room in the hotel. Besides the spectacular view, the hotel displays an impressive collection of traditional Balinese art, antique wood & stone carvings. The staff were very helpful and responsive to all of our needs. The breakfast buffet was above and beyond our expectations -- loaded with fresh fruit, juices, pastries, and eggs or Indonesian food to order. Overall, a really pleasant and relaxing experience, steeped in Balinese culture.

As in much of Bali, as structures age, maintenance issues arise The plumbing can be erratic, and a few bathrooms may have mold issues. Electrical fixtures work fine, including the AC. But, if you are looking to really experience Balinese culture,this is THE place to stay.

We loved our stay. The location and the surrounding lush nature, the traditional art and architecture of the villas, the lovely staff and the breakfasts were delicious and abundant. Highly recommend Tjampuhan if you are looking for a historic and serene stay in Ubud. The pool was clean, warm and beautiful. The spa facilities were also beautifully designed.

One recommendation is that bathrooms are renovated, particularly to include a window. Our bathroom tended to smell a bit unpleasant, due to poor drainage & the lack of a fan or a window for ventilation.

The location is great - only 15 minutes walk to the heart of shopping in Ubud. I believe the hotel also offers a shuttle service to the Main Street. We loved the comfortable bed, the traditional style of the hotel and the beautiful rooms, and the truly lovely and helpful staff. The breakfast and meals were delicious. In particular we were thrilled we had booked ahead for Dinner on the Bridge. It is a private dinner just for two and this is available to one couple only each night. The service was superb with a dedicated waiter, the bridge was beautifully decorated with lots of flower petals and a myriad of candles and little lights, and the feast of four courses (we had the Western menu) was truly delicious for a very reasonable price. It was a very lovely stay and we heartily recommend staying here.

Breakfast was a good offer

We both had items stolen from our room ! After shave and undies !! The pillows were also not fantastic but the bed was really comfy. the setting is a paradise but the food could be worked on . We both. loved the river private dinner ( although food could be improved ) Don’t stay here if you don’t want to tackle lots of stairs which we didn’t mind . Overall a great stay

Had not been to the hotel for 20 years and it had not changed much in that time, in a good way. We love the location, just out of town (about a 10-15 minute walk) and on the side of the river. It is very green and pleasant, and grounds are beautiful and well maintained. Pool was great (suggest you request a room near the main pool). Restaurant was great for one dinner and our breakfasts which had a decent range. Loved our room with a small terrace to be able to sit outside. Aircon worked well and bathroom was adequate. Good public lounges. Great staff who were helpful and friendly.

Beds could have been a little more comfortable (softer) but being picky. Warning that there are a lot of stairs which we didn't mind but it is definitely something to be aware of for the unfit or disabled.

Set in beautiful surroundings this original Ubud spa (opened 1928) still stands up well. Service was fantastic and meals were great. It is close to Ubud town (a 1 km walk to the centre of town). Also very near the start of the Champuhan Ridge walk which made a great start to our day a number of times.

Some people will have problems with the many stairs in this hotel that cascades down the ravine to the river (they didn't worry us). If so ask for a room up at reception level. You will still need the climb quite a few stairs though to reach the pool

Location is good, just about 15 mins walk from Ubud center. It’s truly Balinese style houses in a forest, lots of trees and flowers around. Lots of stairs to climb up and down, and that adds to the charm.

The spa is just average and a bit old looking.

Beautiful landscape and architecture

Shower in bath with only a handshower head. Pool not opening until 9am.

This was the hotel of our dreams...it had the facilities, the service, the atmosphere, the staff and the location that we wanted and made our time in Ubud exceptional. From the minute we arrived until the time we left...the staff went above and beyond to help make our time memorable and comfortable. We espically enjoyed the breakfasts, several special dinners, the pool and the spa....we could not recommend Hotel Tjampuhan Spa highly enough....it has gained a special place in our heats and we have already become its unofficial ambassadors. Special thanks to the reception staff for helping to arrange our classes and drivers and to the Spa staff for our afternoon of bliss.

Nothing.

I’ve stayed at the hotel twice and come here for the architecture, stunning views, location and friendly staff. Ubud has become quite hectic and overcrowded in recent years, so having a peaceful oasis close by to come back to makes life a lot easier. I had a wonderful massage at the spa. While I paid a bit more for the service compared to a massage in town I would choose this option again. Firstly you get to listen to the beautiful sound of the river below, the massage was definitely superior and I could enjoy the relaxation benefits by avoiding the mad rush of tourists in Ubud before and after the massage. I highly recommend the spa. I loved the daily workout I got from using the stairs. Many of the tourists looked like they could benefit from them too😉.

The breakfast had a lot of cooked foods that were a bit heavy to start the day off with. The bathtub needed a bit of an upgrade, but luckily other aspects make up for this.
