We book the room for 4 guests with 4 single beds. The check-in and out was smooth. No deposit is to be deposited. The room was quite ok for the size and for the backpackers like us. Since the room has no fan and no air-conditioner, and Bukittinggi was not as cold as 8 years ago, the room was quite hot for us. The only option is to leave the window open to prevent all of us from suffocating throughout the stay. Only towels were been provided. No other amenities. The toilet was ok. The bed, the comforter, and the pillow were comfy. 5 stars for that. The water heater was well-functioning. The TV channels were functioning. However, the Wifi connection was bad. Always interrupted during the stay. Rental motorcycle is provided with reasonable prices.
The breakfast was basic. Same food for 3 days of our stay (Nasi Goreng, Sunny-side Egg, and some kerupuk). But the chef entertained us with a great smile and service. Bravo. The hotel provides a free flow of drinks (Hot Tea/Hot Coffee). Plus, the dining area's view was great because it is on the rooftop facing two mountains of Marapi & Singgalang. 5 stars for that.
The hotel is at the heart of Bukittinggi. It is nearby to famous landmarks like Jam Gadang, Jambatan Limpapeh, Fort De Kock, Lubang Jepang, Panorama, and so on. There are plenty of shops, laundry bars, groceries, restaurants, hawker stalls, cafes, malls, etc to enjoy.
