Pros: Great location and super friendly staff! Rooms where also decently clean.

Cons: Restaurant menu was a bit over priced compared to what was available on the street.

Pros: This place is amazing!!! We absolutely loved it. Location was perfect with direct access to the most amazing lake. The room was big and comfortable with a big bed. The host, Jack, is simply the best! He was super helpful and friendly, as was everyone else who worked there. Jack picked us up from the airport and also took us on an amazing tour to see the local sights - he could not have been a better host. The food was amazing and there was no shortage of beers! I would recommend this to anyone who wants to visit Lake Maninjau! Thank you Jack for a perfect stay!

Cons: The bathroom is quite basic with no loo roll and no hot water.

Pros: The location and the view on the lake are great! The freshwater is available for refill. The staff is friendly! We enjoyed our stay a lot!

Pros: The places offers a beautiful scenery as you can see a clear view of Lake Maninjau right in front of you. The morning and late afternoon view each offers a different kind of beauty, and you can enjoy this by sitting at a small cottage touching the Lake located at the front yard of the Guest House

Cons: I felt uncomfortable being around the owner of the Guest House as he is kind of chatty but not in a nice way. Maybe he makes good impressions on some people, but at some point he did make me uncomfortable, especially after I asked if the Guest House offers some slippers, or lend some for the guests, I was surprised by his response when he said "this kind of cheap Guest House wouldn't offer such things like they do in a hotel". I got his points, but it wasn't a response I was expecting from someone who works in a service sector. He could've said something nicer or informed me the alternatives, such as informing me a convenient store where I can get some slippers around the Guest House. Also, as sensitive as it might sound, as a local (an origin of West Sumatra living and been living abroad for quite awhile), I sensed the owner being nicer to the foreigners compared to the locals. I thought it was just me, but I did observe the way he treated some other locals during my stay, he wasn't acting as warmly as towards the foreigners. I hope this mentality of his could change in the future.

Pros: Exellent stay at an exellent location in Danau Minanjau. The guest house is not super deluxe but surely value for money, especially the waterfront rooms..very beautifull surroundings..very quit...and cosy Bagoes Cafe/Restaurant at the waterfront with good Sumatra food, BBQ...good breakfast...motorcycle / cycle trio around the lake and with astouning padi views , but most important the indonesian and very friendly owner, Jack , arranges all kind of trips to Bukkittingi, Minankau Palace, Harau valley, Coffee Lawang, Kerinci, trip and stay to the remote coast islands south of Padang...eventuelly treckings into the forest...he is really good ! And asks fair prices....A must go if you are around Padang !

Pros: Very clean

Cons: Nothing

Pros: All is good. Serve us well.

Cons: No coffee making facility and fridge

Pros: I like the neighbourhood. It is in the middle of town so it is within walking distance to shops, restaurants and tourist attractions. The twin bed I requested is soft and comfortable. I had a very good rest. My mom also enjoys being near the mosque so she could go for the morning prayer with the rest of the locals.

Cons: There is no spoon or basic coffee or tea sachet in the room. Im not sure if there was any pantry though because I can't find it. It is very basic. There is no kettle as well. The hot water from the lobby isn't hot enough.

Pros: Clean

Cons: -

Pros: The breakfast was good enough, on weekends there was more variety of food. Staff are genuinely friendly and accommodating, While they didn't provide a mini fridge, they did have a hot and cold water dispenser on every floor, with clean glasses in each room. Location is excellent. Within walking distance to Jam Gadang, Ramayana Mall, Pasar Atas, Jambatan Limpapeh, Fort de Kock, Kinantan Zoo. A mosque is right next door. At night there are many F&B stalls nearby.

Cons: There are no elevators so you have to go up the stairs. MIght be a bit difficult for the elderly, people with knee problems and those with babies. We booked 2 rooms, and only realized later that our room was much smaller than the others (my mother in law had a bigger room). After the 2nd night we asked to switch to a bigger room and the staff happily obliged as soon as there was one available. Our first room was also very bright at night because there is a window above the door that lets light in from the stairwell. I think some rooms don't have A/C, only a fan, so be sure to ask before checking in.

Cons: Receptionist ask to cancel booking at the counter.. I don't know why... I refuse to do that.

Pros: I like the rosales (food), and the service. Really good

Cons: A cockroach crawl inside from the toilet & reached my colleague’s hair. It was so digusting

Pros: the room was spacious and clean

Cons: i have to wait more than one hour for the room to be ready.

Pros: The hotel is beautiful, with the solid wood finishing and carving. The bedroom and bathroom is huge. The staff there are very accommodating, tried to solve any room problem as best as they can. Even though it seem that we are the only guest there, the breakfast is abundant.

Cons: We went there during peak season and because this is last minute, all the other hotel is sold out. The hotel is beautiful but sadly is not well maintained. We went there in group of 8 and we think that we are the only one there! One of the room have light that can't be turned off, the staff did offer to change the room, but they then tell us other room is unavailable so they decided to fix the light the next day so they have to sleep with the light turned on. Water is unavailable when i wake up to use the bathroom at 4am but is back on when try to use it at 6am. The sliding door at shower area in all bathroom is missing a door so whenever i take shower, the bathroom get all wet.This hotel may have been a 4 star hotel before, but now it is lost out to many other new hotels. It is located right in the city but still a bit far from the shopping areas. Seem that it is now waiting for a handover as it is under-maintained.

Pros: All.. the rooms, the location, the views...the staff all is perfect

Cons: Only the smell in the room when first time we enter...

Pros: The hotel staffs were very friendly and attractive. The location quite strategic even you can just take a walk to nearby shops, stalls and Jam Gadang area.

Cons: The hotel seems look quite old especially the sink and bathtub in the toilet. Plus a lot of amenities were not provided like refrigerator in room, hair dryer, ironing board. And the WiFi connection is really bad there. The aircord efficiency also was very bad. Hope they can change the menu for breakfast like everyday. Don't offer the same menu all over and over again.

Pros: Breakfast was good

We booked family suite and when we entered the property we did not have much expectation as it was not a grand entrance looking lobby welcoming us but upon entering the room, it was definitely spacious, SUPER CLEAN AND NEAT, THE BED WAS SUPER COMFORTABLE (you can tell the money goes to GOOD mattress and pillows). The toilet hot shower is working well. The view from restaurant is magical throughout the whole day, almost untouched by civilization. MY kids enjoyed experiencing nature and beauty. Definitely will come again.

Cons: The breakfast could be improved. There was no fresh milk provided for coffee, only sugar or the sweetened condensed milk. Coffee preferences is very important for most travellers, i hope the owner have at least the milk added to the buffet breakfast.
