Reviews
nice hostel with a great location.Its also very comfortable to book the orang utans tour from here. I can reccomend it
Lovely owner and central location.
Decent and simple hostel, priced accordingly. The owner is super friendly with good advice and local knowledge for Sumatra which is valuable. Perfect for a night when you arrive/leave Sumatra via medan. Facilities are on the basic side but are clean and functional.
Absolutely great stay, the owner helped me with the best tips for food. Brought me to a shop to fix the holes in my bags. It’s amazing, they can tell you everything you want to know about Sumatra and help you plan it
I spend on night in this hostel and the best thing was the owner! He runs everything by him self and is super nice. Best and only hostel in medan for sure! 👍
