The place is clean and relatively comfortable--remember it is a hostel, not a hotel, so be prepared for sharing the space. I stayed at a different hostel in Medan before coming to Dazhong and it could not compare to this. You will meet fellow travelers here, the atmosphere is very friendly, and you will get all the information and help you need to travel in Sumatra.

No complaints for the price, cheapest spot on the whole island. You get what you pay for. If you're travelling on a budget and don't have high expectations, this place is a great option. The cafe next door was closed during my whole stay, but that might be due to the time of the year. Plenty of places with food and drinks within walking distance though, plus Sumur Tiga beach.
