Jangga House Bed & Breakfast Medan Indonesia

Jangga House: Medan's BEST Kept Secret Bed & Breakfast!

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill ALL the tea on Jangga House: Medan's BEST Kept Secret Bed & Breakfast! And let me tell you, it’s less "kept secret" and more "hidden delightful treasure" – the kind you stumble upon and immediately want to scream about from the rooftops. (Well, maybe not scream, but you get the gist.)

Accessibility: A Mixed Bag, But Ultimately Welcoming

Okay, let's be real, navigating Medan can be… an adventure. Jangga House does have an elevator, which is a HUGE win. Facilities for disabled guests are listed, which is promising, but I'd definitely recommend calling ahead and clarifying specifics to ensure a perfect fit. They also have Car park [free of charge] which is great for getting there, but I cannot speak of the quality of the parking lot and the distance to the hotel entrance.

Food, Glorious Food (and Drinks!)

Listen, I live to eat. And Jangga House? They get it.

Restaurants: Plural! Bonus points.
Asian breakfast: YES. I'm talking fragrant rice and savory goodness.
Western breakfast: For those days when you miss your toast (though, honestly, embrace the local flavors!).
Breakfast [buffet]: I'm a sucker for a buffet. It's a chance to try everything.
Coffee shop: Essential. I need my caffeine fix.
Poolside bar: Imagine: sun, a cold drink, and that amazing Medan humidity. Pure bliss.
I just saw a Restaurant!: Let me just say, I really like restaurants!

Seriously, the Asian cuisine in restaurant and even International cuisine in restaurant offerings, were just…chef's kiss. One night, I ordered the Pad Thai, and it was honestly better than some places I've been to in Thailand. I'm still dreaming about it. The coffee was strong, the desserts were decadent, and the service was friendly.

Now, let’s be a little real here. They have Alternative meal arrangement, which means they're willing to work with you. And I love that.

Relaxation & Rejuvenation: Spa Day Dreams

Okay, so this is where Jangga House really shines!

Spa/sauna: Yes, please!
Massage: Sign me up! After a day of exploring, a massage is essential.
Pool with view: Oh, the Instagram opportunities!
Swimming pool [outdoor]: Because Medan gets HOT.

The spa itself was… sublime. They have a sauna, and I almost melted into a puddle of pure relaxation. The massage was skilled and the therapists were so polite. I got a Body scrub, and let me tell you, I swear I left a layer of all my city woes on that massage table. It was HEAVEN. The Body wrap was amazing. I'd easily go back just for that.

Also, Spa/sauna again? You had me at spa!

Cleanliness & Safety: A Breath of Fresh Air

This is HUGE, especially in today's world. And Jangga House nailed it.

Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays, & Staff trained in safety protocol: Check, check, check, and check! They're taking it seriously, and that's incredibly reassuring.
Hand sanitizer everywhere you turn.
Individually-wrapped food options: Smart.
Safe dining setup.
First aid kit.

Services and Conveniences: Making Life Easy

This is where Jangga House proves they're thinking of everything.

24-hour Front desk? Awesome.
Concierge: Need help with anything? They've got you covered.
Daily housekeeping: Always nice to come back to a clean room.
Laundry service: Because who wants to do laundry on vacation?
Luggage storage: Freedom!
Air conditioning in public areas: Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! It is hot in Medan
Cash withdrawal: Useful!
Elevator: Necessary!
Invoice provided: Helpful for business travelers.

For the Kid (or the Kid in You!)

Babysitting service: Nice for parents who need a night out.
Family/child friendly: Good to know.
Kids facilities: Always a bonus!

Getting Around & Inside the Rooms: Comfort & Convenience

Airport transfer: HUGE time-saver.
Car park [on-site]: Another win.
Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!: Gotta stay connected
Additional toilet: Helpful!
Air conditioning: Essential.
Rooms with additional features: There are a lot!

The rooms? Lovely! They're not the flashiest, but they're comfortable, clean, and well-equipped

Free bottled water: Basic but appreciated.
Refrigerator: Always convenient.
Coffee/tea maker: Caffeine savior.
Daily housekeeping: The bed was always so perfectly made.

Internet Access

Internet: The internet was stable enough to watch a movie on my laptop.
Internet access – wireless: I had no problems making a video call.

A Room of My Own

The room? Clean. The bed? Comfy. The blackout curtains? AMAZING. I slept like a baby. It had all the basics, plus thoughtful extras. The mini bar really came in handy.

The Anecdote I Have to Share…

Okay, so here's the thing. I accidentally left my passport in the room. I didn't realize until I was already at the airport frantically patting myself down. I panicked. But the staff at Jangga House? They were incredible! They called me immediately, assured me it was safe, arranged for a taxi to deliver it, and saved my bacon (and my vacation!). Talk about going above and beyond! They are angels!

The Quirky Observation

The sheer number of staff was a little surprising, but in the best way. There was always someone ready to help. It’s as if every single staff member's job was to make sure you were utterly, completely, blissfully relaxed.

The Messy Structure & Occasional Rambles

Look, I’m just being honest here. I got a little lost in my thoughts and went off on some tangents. If you made it this far, congrats! You are a champ!

The Stronger Emotional Reactions

I was genuinely sad to leave Jangga House. It's rare to find a place that feels like a home away from home, but this place is exactly that. Maybe it was being pampered with massages and scrubs, maybe it was the amazing pad thai I ate, or maybe it was the fact that it felt as though they all cared about the quality of your stay, but I felt cared for.

The Opinionated Language & Natural Pacing

Look, I'm not gonna mince words: You have to stay here. It's not just good; it's great.

The Bottom Line

Jangga House: Medan's BEST Kept Secret Bed & Breakfast! is a slice of paradise. It’s clean, comfortable, friendly, and the spa is worth the trip alone. It’s not perfect (no place is!), but the staff, the service, and the overall vibe more than make up for any shortcomings. Book it. Now. Seriously.

Jangga House Bed & Breakfast Medan Indonesia

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into my glorious, chaotic, and probably slightly disastrous trip to the Jangga House Bed & Breakfast in Medan, Indonesia. Seriously, packing for this thing alone was a saga. Let's get into it:

Medan Meanderings: A Journey Through Chaos (and Hopefully, Delicious Food)

Pre-Trip Rambles (Packing & Panic)

The Undone Dream: Okay, let's be real. "Planning" isn't my strong suit. More like "vague ideas and hoping for the best." This trip was supposed to be all zen and journaling about my inner peace. Instead, I was wrestling a suitcase the size of a small car at 3 AM, desperately trying to shove in one more pair of "just in case" shoes. Spoiler alert: they got worn once, and only because I was too lazy to change out of them.
Medan's Mysterious Allure: Truth be told, I didn't know much about Medan before booking. It was the flight deal, the promise of cheap nasi goreng, and the pictures of Jangga House's lush courtyard that sealed the deal. I have a theory about the mysterious allure of places, and how it's usually the least planned ones that end up being the most memorable. So, here we are. Let's see if my theory holds true.
Passport Panic: I swear, every time I travel, there's a moment of sheer terror. Did I pack my passport? Where the heck is my passport? This time it was a frantic search under the couch cushions. Turns out, it was tucked safely (and stupidly) inside a cookbook. Oh, that's right, I was going to learn how to make Indonesian food on this trip.

Day 1: Arriving in Medan (and Surviving the Airport)

The Flight: Long, bumpy, and filled with questionable airline food. I tried to sleep, I failed. I played on the on-board entertainment, I got bored. Basically, par for the course.
Airport Apocalypse: Landing in Medan. Oh boy. The airport itself was a whirlwind of activity. I definitely got scammed by a dodgy taxi driver. Should have used Grab, lesson learned. My luggage went missing; I spent an hour explaining in my broken Indonesian, that I can't give description or specific details of my bag without opening it which I don't have access to. It was a total mess. But, hey, at least it's character-building.
Finding Jangga House: Once I finally escaped the airport, I found myself whisked away in a Grab car (smart move, finally!) to Jangga House. The driver was blasting Indonesian pop, which I found both hilarious and slightly bewildering.
Jangga House Glory: The pictures online? They didn't even do it justice! Lush, green, vibrant. The air smells of jasmine and something indescribably Indonesian. My room? Cozy, clean, simple. The staff? SO incredibly friendly. They apologized for the baggage, and promised to look into it immediately. And the way they smiled, I thought it was worth the baggage going missing, even though I would need my travel pillow soon.
First Meal Fiasco: I was famished so I went out to find some authentic food. I pointed at something on the menu that looked intriguing, and the waiter looked at me with surprise. I got a plateful of something spicy (I'm talking, eyes watering, nose running spicy) and delicious. Probably the best mistake I ever made.

Day 2: Medan Madness & Market Marvels

Sleep Bliss: Slept like a log, thanks to the cozy bed and the complete lack of the outside world.
Breakfast Bonanza: The breakfast at Jangga House? Simple and delicious. Fresh fruit, strong coffee, and a perfect start to the day. They had fresh fruit, fluffy pancakes, and eggs.
Exploring the City: Time to explore! I hopped on a becak, hoping to experience the local culture. I was soon driving through a crowded market; the colours, the smells, the sheer energy of the place. I was overwhelmed, but in the best possible way. I had to get out, I was claustrophobic, and was told to get out by the driver as the traffic was very bad.
Maimun Palace: Absolutely gorgeous, a visual feast of colors and history. I took way too many photos. A small child ran up to me and offered me a stick of satay, made me smile.
The Missing Luggage Saga Continues: Still no bag. But I had a feeling it would turn up, someday.
Evening Exploration: I decided to stay in the Jangga House that night, and took a night walk to the restaurant near the hotel. The walk was a little scary.

Day 3: Lake Toba Temptation

The Long Haul: Okay, Lake Toba is a bit of a mission from Medan, but the pictures were mesmerizing so I decided. The bus ride was an experience in itself. Bumpy roads, questionable bus food, and a general sense of organized chaos. I met a few locals on the bus as well, who were very kind and provided me with directions.
Lake Toba Magic: Arrived at Lake Toba, and everything was beautiful. The lake is massive, the water crystal clear, and the air fresh and clean. I wish I could have stayed longer, I wish I could have stayed longer in the boat, but I had the bus back.
Back to Jangga House: After the long journey, I was exhausted and just wanted to sink into my bed at Jangga House.

Day 4: Rest & Reflections

Slow Day: I decided to take it easy. I had a leisurely breakfast, did some journaling, and just soaked up the quiet of Jangga House.
Trying to Learn Indonesian: I attempted to learn a few Indonesian phrases, "Terima kasih" (thank you) and "Tidak tahu" (I don't know) were the only ones that I remembered.
Finding my Travel Pillow: My luggage finally arrived! It took a while but was definitely worth the wait.

Day 5: Departure Day (and Leaving a Piece of my Heart)

Sad Farewell: Saying goodbye to the staff at Jangga House felt genuinely sad. They were so kind and welcoming. I will really think of leaving the place.
Airport Again!: Back to the airport. Hopefully, the departure experience will be smoother than the arrival.
Reflection: Medan? It was a chaotic, messy, and incredibly rewarding experience. It wasn't the perfectly planned, zen retreat I'd envisioned, but it was something far more real and memorable. I left with a full belly, a slightly singed tongue, and a deep appreciation for the unexpected adventures that life throws your way.
Future Plans: Would I go back? In a heartbeat. I'd love to spend more time exploring Medan and its surrounding areas. And next time, I'll definitely learn more Indonesian.

Jangga House Bed & Breakfast Medan Indonesia

Okay, spill the tea! Is Jangga House really Medan's best-kept secret? I'm skeptical...

Look, skepticism? Totally understandable. My first thought? "Another B&B promising paradise, promising delicious breakfast, blah, blah, blah." I’ve seen them, I've stayed in them, and I've usually left feeling...meh. But Jangga House? Dude. It's DIFFERENT. It's like stumbling into a secret society, but instead of handshakes and cryptic rituals, you get amazing coffee and authentic Batak hospitality. I wouldn't call myself a "secret keeper" – more of a "loudly-whispering-about-how-great-something-is" kind of person. So, yes, I have to put the effort to call Jangga House Medan's BEST Kept Secret!

What's the vibe like at Jangga House? Is it fancy? Do I need to pack my best pearls?

Fancy? NOPE. Thank GOD! Think… cozy, lived-in, and overflowing with charm. It's less "hotel chic" and more "grandma's house, but with a REALLY good chef and a seriously well-stocked fridge." Honestly, I was stressed about my outfit after my first visit. I felt a little underdressed (my usual travel gear). But let me tell you, the only dress code is "be yourself and be ready to eat." The atmosphere is genuinely warm and welcoming. They even have games! I swear, I was so embarrassed when I lost at Carroms to a 70-year-old.

The food! Everyone raves about the food! Tell me everything!

Oh. My. GOD. The food. Where do I even BEGIN? Forget "hotel breakfast." We are talking authentic Batak cuisine, lovingly prepared with, as far as I could tell, *magic*. Okay, maybe not magic, but definitely a secret family recipe or ten. The *arsik* (fish simmered in turmeric and spices) is legendary. Seriously, I dreamed about it for weeks after my last visit! The breakfast spread is HUGE – plates piled high with fresh tropical fruit, fluffy rice, and a rotating selection of delicious dishes. And the coffee! Strong, fragrant, and the perfect way to start the day... or the perfect way to hide how many hours you didn't sleep the the previous night.

**Side Note:** One morning, I almost started a riot. There was a delicious local dessert (can't remember the name, brain too busy enjoying it) that was in limited supply. I *may* have gotten a little aggressive in securing my portion. No regrets.

Is it easy to get around from Jangga House? Is it close to everything?

"Close to everything" is relative, right? It's not *right* in the middle of the crazy Medan hustle (which is a *good* thing, trust me). You’re going to need a Grab or taxi to get around, but the location means it's a safe and quiet respite from the city's noise. The owners are generally super helpful in organizing transportation or giving suggestions. But, let me be real here, there are times the traffic is absolutely biblical. Prepare for that. Stock up on podcasts. Maybe download a meditation app.

What are the rooms like? Clean? Comfortable? Do I need to bring my own earplugs?

The rooms are simple, clean, and comfortable. They aren't luxury suites, but they're well-appointed and have everything you need. Yes, they have air conditioning. The beds are comfortable enough and they are cleaned daily. I didn't need earplugs, which is a major win for me! I absolutely hate wearing earplugs, so I can say it is really amazing. Although, if you're super sensitive to noise, maybe pack them just in case. It's more about the warm, welcoming atmosphere and less about the fanciness. Let's be honest, you'll be spending most of your time eating, chatting with the delightful owners, or exploring Medan.

The owners! I've heard they're wonderful. What's the deal?

The owners ARE wonderful. Imagine incredibly hospitable, warm-hearted people who genuinely care about their guests. They are super helpful and always happy to give recommendations for restaurants, tours, and everything in between. This is where the secret society vibes come in. You feel like part of the family almost immediately. Expect friendly chats, maybe learn a bit of Indonesian (if you're lucky!), and definitely feel a lot of love and care. I swear, I almost cried leaving last time. It’s hard to explain, they're just... lovely.

Are there any downsides--because even paradise has a fly, right?

Okay, to be completely honest (and because I'm trying to be helpful, not a total fan girl), there are a couple of minor things. The wifi can be spotty sometimes. Medan is HOT – and while the AC works, if you're used to super-chilled rooms, you might want to adjust. And, it's not exactly on the party scene, which might not be ideal if you are looking for wild night life. I've mentioned the traffic... Still, these are small price to pay for the overall amazing experience. Look, I am a cynical person, I was skeptical, but I still give Jangga House 5 stars!

I'm a solo traveler. Is Jangga House a good fit?

ABSOLUTELY! Seriously, this is one of the best places to travel solo. The atmosphere is so welcoming, and the communal breakfast table means you’re guaranteed to meet other travelers. Plus, the owners are just fantastic at making everyone feel comfortable and included. You won't feel alone here – unless you want to be, and if you do, you can do that too.

Okay, you've convinced me. How do I book?

Go to their website (you can probably find it with a quick search, I don't have the URL memorized, I want the secret to myself!) and book ASAP. Seriously. Because it's so great, and because it's a best-kept *secret*, availability can be tight, especially during peak season. Once you're there, you can also ask and book the room, to enjoy a few more days in Medan. You won't regret it. Happy travels and prepare to fall in love! (With the food, the owners, and probably Medan itself!) And, please, tell them [Your Name] sent youStarlight Inns
