An excellent addition to Bukittinggi's rather tired midrange sleeping options, contemporary Treeli gets a lot of things right. Rooms are compact and quiet, with modern bathrooms and all sorts of mod cons. An excellent breakfast is served on the breezy roof terrace and the restaurant specialises in Chinese-style seafood dishes.
