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
