One of south Sumatra's best hostels, Flip Flop is an immaculate multilevel space that's lovingly decorated with vibrant furnishings, murals and pot plants. Private rooms have homely touches, while air-conditioned dorms are spotless and have their own bathrooms. The staff are lovely, and the lobby cafe does specialty coffees and Indonesian dishes. Upstairs there's terrace seating and a rooftop hang-out.
They don't sell beer, but it's available from a nearby store.
