Golden Homestay

Padang


More like a midrange hotel than a homestay – but at an affordable price – this place has rooms that are very clean and come with comfortable beds, air-con and hot water. If you've been roughing it for a while, splash out on one of the three spacious rooms with private bathroom – room 1 has a massive bathroom with corner bathtub.
