Homestay very well located, at very affordable prices! The staff and managers are adorable, we got along and even created very strong bonds with them! We shared their daily lives for several days and have very strong memories of Sumatra thanks to them. We wish all backpackers to have an experience like that with them! We will come back one day 😘

Very attractive prices for backpackers, well located (good restaurants 1 minute walk away) with a very practical kitchen for breakfasts!The internet connection worked relatively well, the big downside is the cleanliness... But we hope that the great team at the hostel will be able to remedy that!

This is the ugliest place I have ever stayed. Extremely dirty in the room, on the public corridor, the bathroom and the sinks don't work properly they are very very dirty and smelly. The staff didn't do anything about this, they just stayed downstairs and watched movies on the phone whereas in this time they could have better cleaned some of the spaces and release the hair from the sink. You also have spider nets in the room and there's no place where you can put your things you just have a bed. No towels, no soap, no toilet paper. No internet in the rooms.

Very friendly welcome from the host, very smiling. Very good communication before and after the rental. Very well located in the center of Padang. The room and bed are comfortable. Functional and efficient air conditioning. Drinking water available, tea, coffee, and various services (transport, scooter, meals, etc.).Unfortunately, we felt a serious lack of cleanliness and hygiene in the common areas (beard hair everywhere, waste, clogged sink with stagnant water, etc.). So much so that we cleaned a few places by ourselves...We came during Ramadan, the mosque is right behind the hotel which is very noisy during this time.Towels are only provided on request and we only got one for two people.This remains a hotel with good value for money for a short stay.

With prices that are cheap but not cheap. Clean, quiet place. Close to the main market and Padang beach (5 minutes walk)There is a shared kitchen, so you can cook. There is coffee and tea also in the morning. There is a relaxing room where you can watch YouTubeThe staff is also good there, and for couples it is mandatory to have a marriage certificate
