Zizi Homey Cemara Asri Triple Room 202 offers accommodation located in Medan, 8.6 km from Medan Grand Mosque and 7.9 km from Pajak Ikan Medan.

After you have done 50/100+ reviews for budget accommodation, it becomes a PITA, and you just enter a score, hit finish, and move on. Occasionally, though, you find a place so good you just have to say something. After weeks of being in places where there was either traffic noise, calls to prayer, roosters crowing, frogs croaking, dogs barking, night insects chirping, etc, Zizi Homey Room 202 was GLORIOUSLY QUIET. Besides the quietness, the accommadation seems brand new. The room was sparkling clean and smelt amazing (automatic air freshener), quality bed linen (loved the bolster), AC, hot water (not always a given in Sumatra) and multi plug/USB wall sockets to mention just a few of many. Also, good communication with host Zizi about check-in/out and restaurants/shops/activities in the area. All in all, a great place to stay at a very reasonable price. Ohhh. Forgot to mention, there is a kitchen on the ground floor which I did not use but assume guests could if they were staying long term??

Located 9.3 km from Medan Grand Mosque, Bua Guest House offers air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace.

Nice big room with good AC. Friendly owner and staff that were very nice and accommodating as I ended up getting food poisoning in Medan and they were very empathetic and kind to me. Loved that they had a common area so you can also enjoy spending time outside the room.

    We chose Bua Guest House to be able to get to the airport early in the morning. Our host kindly organised this for us. Easy communication: she speaks excellent English.

    The staff really nice. The food was good. The room nice and quiet. The neighboroud is far from Medan city centre so a motorbike is needed to go around.

    Best option when arriving on Sumatra: just outside of the city, the guest house brings rest, peace, quietness and lots of hospitality. The owner and team are tremendous supportive in helping on travels, tours and as well food and any other needs like SIM cards. Terima Kasih🙏

    The building and garden are stunning. The swimming pool is clean and in a very private location with comfortable chairs. The room was clean and well equipped. The food on the whole was very nice. They do serve fantastic coffee! We also really enjoyed our breakfast with some good choices. The location is quiet but far from the city centre which didn't bother us.

    The family who run this small guesthouse are exceptional that's what makes your stay really special you are well looked after from the first moment it feels like home. The room was basic but clean and new. Everything worked. The food was good as was the breakfast choice. Really good value for money. The location is beautiful and quiet because it is a distance from the city perfect for overnight or more nights. We stayed 2 nights and I would definitely recommend this place thank you Elfie and Bua
