Semalam at Sun Yat Sen - SELF CHECK IN

Comfy beds, clean bathrooms & toilets, clean towel, modern/minimalist vibe. They provide electric kettle, basic cutlery & plates, and a fridge stocked with cold beers and water bottles. Convenience store is just a 5-mins walk. Great for groups or those who prefer a quiet environment for a good night's sleep.

- The neighborhood quiets down after 7 pm - Might not be ideal for solo travelers given its self-service setup, which could result in being alone in the building. Luckily, there were other guests during my stay, so I didn't end up alone. - The front of the hostel is entirely covered by glass. I suggest placing a blurred sticker on some parts of the glass for added privacy and safety. - A fan in the common area would be a great addition. - One of the showers needs a repair.

The owner of the hostel was always on WhatsApp to help with anything, hostel or indonesia related. It was easy to use the lock to get in. The beds were really comfy and aircon was working well. You have a little lamp and charger in the pod and a duvet which was really nice! I only stayed there for 1 night but there's a lot of local warungs nearby. There was a volunteer when I was there who was so helpful and took me to indomart to top up my phone.

There was a very strong damp smell in the hostel and the bathrooms were a little bit dirty, and when I was there no hot water,,but it's fine for a stopover from the airport.

Very friendly staff, who helps you answer any travel questions. I even had breakfast with a girl staying at the hostel helping the owner out - very nice! Only stayed one night, but was the only one there besides her - so very quiet (Medan is not a tourist city).

I didn’t realize it is a self check-in hostel, which should have been more clear on Booking.com. Ended up waiting for a while by the door, as I couldn’t get hold of the owner. However when I got in contact with them they were very fast to help me in. This could easily be avoided if guests are send the PIN prior to arrival with a message via booking.com.

I really liked the layout and the space, the beds were cosy and comfy (in the pic I kind of bombed my stuff everywhere but I cleaned it up!! was the only pic I had), the space upstairs was so wonderful to some yoga in, beautiful light (I put it under pic of bathroom, didn’t have one of those but had one of the beautiful room!!) the staff was so helpful and the owner Julius was super nice. Definitely coming back if I’m ever in Medan!

Can’t think of anything I didn’t like!

The beds were very comfortble and the room was well air conditioned. The owner was very responsive and helpful over what app

I was here for a very short time so I can’t say too much about the neighbourhood. the hostel is pretty quiet with not a lot of atmosphere but okay if you’re just passing through. I arrived late at night and all the curtains on the bed were closed so it was difficult to tell which beds were available

Nice place, little sleeping compartments with lockable boxes. Strong water + hot shower. Clean. Big fridge. Hot water boiler. We were 2 people sharing the big 10 bed room. Many food stalls, ATM ( main road 2 junctions north ), shops around. Just opposite is a nice lady selling all kind of fruits.

No comfortable sitting possible in common area

Very modern hostel. Very clean. The bunk beds/ capsules are nice and comfy. The owner Julius is very eager to make this stay as comfortable as possible (well on whatsapp, unfortunately I’ve never met him) and he also organized the pick up from the airport for me. Very professional. You could always write him, if you needed help or support in organizing your trip. The personnel at the property do not speak english, but with google translate we understood us.

Nothing.

Surprisingly quiet in such a busy city, one shower with hot water! Clean, helpful staff, comfortable beds

Only a few other travelers present, most of the beds were empty. Which was ok because we needed a lot of rest but that made it a bit less "gezellig".

Really comfortable beds. Felt very safe with the pin coded doors. Really nice place and a good place to relax or get work done. Accessible kitchen as well. Would recommend!

There was a faint smell of mould in the room, but everything else was great!

The location and it's very clean.

It's not a social hostel. Especially there's not much to do in the city itself. But still a very good & comfortable lodging
