Lala Hostel is maybe the best Hostel I have seen in all South Asia. This is by far the most clean that I have been. I stayed 20 days there and never seen any dirt !! The staff working there is so welcoming and helping everyone to get the best experience there. Ilham will give you a lot of different tips if you are looking to visit the region, planning to go to sabang… I would definitely recommend it
Lovely family running the hostel. Very budget friendly with simple but tasty breakfast. Good location.
Best hostel in Banda aceh! We are always going there! Clean, safe and perfect service!

Great location, friendly staff, great jungle trek guide and tour with the owner Putra, good breakfast, cheap room
Good cheap stay in Bukit Lawang, room had a stand fan and a nice view of the river
Friendly staff, excellent food, great location with access for swimming in the lake. Affordable budget room.
It's a simple clean hostel designed for backpackers spending a night or two in town. Great for transit to and from Pulau Weh. Very clean, helpful staff.
Everything that you read in the other comments is 100% true. The owners are incredibly concerned and helpful and just love what they’re doing! You’ll get amazing food and a clean (basic) room for an amazing value of money. The tours up the Volcano for sunrise shouldn’t be done by yourself apparently, so they offer guided tours. Not the cheapest (for budget travellers) but worth it.
