I used to stay here simply because it was close to Plaza Andalas and Pasar Raya. Then it continued until now. When I return home, I always stop here for a few nights to stay and continue my journey.
Plus, it's ideal for those on a budget and looking for affordable access to the city center.
Since my first stay, this hotel has undergone many upgrades. It used to have a tube TV, but now it's a smart TV, and the Wi-Fi, which used to be available only in certain locations, is now available in the room (I hope this continues, because for some, Wi-Fi is a crucial part of a hotel).
The room is clean and cleaned daily for long stays. Unfortunately, even though I requested a non-smoking room, the smell of cigarettes was still very strong upon entering. (The hotel would be better off separating smoking rooms from non-smoking rooms, as it can be very uncomfortable for those unfamiliar with cigarette smoke.)
The staff and staff are friendly.
