Hello Guesthouse

Top choice in West Sumatra


This bright, modern guesthouse is run by thoughtful owner Ling, who understands the needs of budget travellers. She is happy to provide maps of town, has displays on town attractions, and has fitted the rooms with supercomfy mattresses and hot-water showers. There are also futuristic capsules, complete with flashing sci-fi gadgetry. The breakfast spread earns it another big tick

Earplugs (10,000Rp) are available to counter noise from the nearby mosque. It's often full so book ahead.
