Dazhong Backpackers Hostel

Medan


One of Medan's few budget options is this centrally located hostel that gets rave reviews from backpackers. Proud owner Mr Yauw certainly isn't lacking in confidence, and he strives to ensure his guests are looked after and is a good source of info. Rooms that share bathrooms are a bit cramped and grotty, but the price is right.

It's split over two premises along the same street, but the main building shares space with an English-language school, which has a roof terrace good for having some beers. There are also open-air dorms where you pay what you want.
