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.

    Best homestay in medan We really loved the owners they were so kind location is a bit out of medan but we didn't want to be near city center so was fine. Very nice house with beautiful garden, breakfast and coffee was great. Got to try lots of fruit from the garden and really enjoyed spending time with the hosts. They picked us up from airport and organized a shuttle bus to bukit lawang. Stay here if you are spending a night or two in medan on your way to other destinations.

    Both the rooms that I booked were facing the pool. During the daytime especially during weekends it was extremely noisy with the children screaming and shouting in the swimming pool. Breakfast was only so so. Guess the food served are mostly to cater for the locals.
