Bat & Arrow

Top choice in Padang


With a great location in the atmospheric old quarter along the river, this unique choice is upstairs from its popular eponymous bar. It's more of an art hotel than guesthouse, with rooms featuring creative touches mixed with the creature comforts of cable TV, air-con and wi-fi. While the common areas are a bit dark it's enlivened by the contemporary installations throughout.

The budget rooms are cosy, so it's worth upgrading if you need space. The downstairs bar can get rowdy in the evenings, but things wind up before midnight.
