Very cheap place to stay ($12/night w/out a TV; $15/night w/ a TV), but wouldn't stay there more than one night. Arrived from the Medan airport in the evening and left the next morning for Bukit Luwang to see the orangutans. Very basic rooms and clean enough, but also noisy from the outside traffic/busy road. A mosque is nearby too,... More

I feel the need to warn my fellow travellers that I had the worst attack of bed bugs ever in this hostel. My forearms were completely covered with bites to the point that they were swollen and raw. When I came down in the morning, everyone noticed and asked what had happened. While the manager was very sympathetic he was... More

What was particularly good was that they can arrange trips (jungle trekking, lake toba, etc) for you at very good prices. You'll also be collected from the hostel which makes a huge difference. I had already gotten prices elsewhere... More

I read the two other reviews of this guesthouse. One gave a good review and the other was, well, scathing. I'm in the middle about this place. I looked at several hotels when I first got to Medan. I arrived early and I arrived without a reservation. There are some really nice hotels in the $50-70 a night range. There... More

I am a 55yr Australian who has been traveling Asia for the last 2 years. I have NEVER encountered such a dirty and unscrupulously run hotel in this time or EVER had a problem. I had phoned to make a booking & asked for a room with fan & English tv. I was told yes we have.On arrival the TV... More
