When I was looking for a hotel for a business trip in Bukttinggi, The Hills was on the top of my list, but still I checked through tripadvisor if there's any other recommended hotels. Grand Rocky Hotel was also recommended but I decided to book The Hills as it was closer to the center of the city. This hotel has an eye catching look from outside, and yes it was only 5 minutes away by foot from the famous Jam Gadang.

Welcome to The Hills |
The interior of the hotel was really unique, somehow it gave me a spooky feeling inside the hotel.

The hotel's lobby |
There's also a cafe with mount Singgalang view near the lobby area.
Too bad the room was disappointing with very old furniture. The room really needs a make over.
I didn't get a room with the mountain view, so on the next morning I went to the highest floor and enjoy a great view from the windows around the elevator. While the top left picture was taken from the lobby of the hotel, overlooking the hotel's entrance.

Mount Singgalang in the morning |
The breakfast area adjacent to the garden was also very interesting. I had only fruit for my breakfast, I was still full with all the food I ate in Padang on the previous day:p So I couldn't comment on how the breakfast was.
The garden is located between the hotel and the swimming pool. Too bad it was raining in the morning, I had to skip a swimming session in their great pool.
Despite of the room condition, I like this hotel so much. The interior fits with the magical Bukittinggi. And now I call this hotel "my castle" in Bukittinggi.
