Danau Toba Hotel International

Medan|1.7km from Sumatera Aquarium
We only stayed at this hotel because we were attending a wedding reception being held there. I have stayed in more than 150 hotels around the world and for the first time I was required to pay a refundable deposit for a remote control for the A/C. The bathroom is exceedingly tiny. My cat couldn't swing a cat in it. There was no hot water at 5:00pm after we had travelled 5 hours to get there and really needed to freshen up. On our way to dinner, I asked at reception about this and was told that due to ”technical problems” we could only have hot water from 6 - 8AM and from 6 - 8PM. I explained that I did not know about this. The receptionist then showed me a document that I had not seen nor been shown when checking in that explained the situation. I suggested that guests should be informed about this when checking in. Miraculously, the 'technical problems' were resolved the following morning. The staff were not aware of what was happening at the property. We asked if there was live music. The receptionist directed us to two venues on the property, but each was closed. Only the disco was open. The food in the restaurant was mediocre at best. They try to do this barbeque thing at the table, but it fails to deliver. There were plenty of plates, cups, glasses and so on, but only one spoon. There's no light above the cabinet where you make tea or prepare snacks etc. The light above the makeup / grooming mirror was not working. They clearly don't check that everything is working when they clean the rooms. The furniture, carpets, cabinetry, wall coverings etc are very dated. However, the bed was comfortable and the wall covering behind the bed was relatively new. There's no safe in the room. I know that safes are expense and there are always technical problems, but pretty much every property that says it's 4-star has a room safe. The worst part from a safety perspective is that the elevator doors close within a very short time. I injured my arm as the door closed on me within 5 or so seconds and hit me quite hard. A petite granny could have been seriously injured. No-one seems to care. It's an obvious problem and should have been fixed. The restaurant did not stock beer or wine or any other alcoholic beverage. It's a property that management doesn't seem to care about. The staff are helpful, willing, courteous and respectful, but not properly trained. This is a sign that management or ownership doesn't give a toss.

Swiss-Belinn Medan

the stay quite nice, washroom and hot water also work properly. fast wifi, and fast check in process. also love that they have massage spa inside the hotel with affordable price but as a malaysian , i would say, its quite cheap when they give you a discount voucher. if you dont really want to go out, you can order the room service food which also quite big in portion (for me) and the tempe goreng with the sambal sauce was so nice. In front of the hotel , got several private taxi service (suv car) with a range of price like 1 million IDR to Parapat(lake toba) & 700 thousand IDR to siantar.Just in case you had last minute plan to go to danau toba and didnt book any supir in advance The only thing that i wish they change is the bath towel. Please change it to the new and softer one. all the thread is coming out from the towel.
Semalam at Sun Yat Sen - Self Check IN
4.1/52 Reviews
This is a special homestay I stayed in Medan, because it is fully self-service, there is no staff, at least I haven't seen any since last night, but this does not affect our peace of mind at all. The beds in the room are very clean, there are also charging sockets, and the security is also very guaranteed. You have to enter a password to enter the door. The shower and toilet are also very comfortable. There are messages from previous travelers on the wall of the front hall, and you can see that everyone praises it. 🌷🌷🌷 But there are a few regrets. All the beds on the first floor are a little wet, so I had to use a dry towel to pad them. The stairs to the upper bunk are difficult to go up, and there are no food and beverage stores or places to visit around! Overall, I am 70% satisfied!

This is the second time I've stayed here. I booked a room with a window as last time, but there was no window 1F The room was cleaned. There is no water. The towel was not in the room, but the staff was friendly. - Good people. It's a good inn to stay in Medan on the day of arrival or the day before departure.

I stayed here for about two weeks. I think it’s a fairly nice place given the price. I don’t think anything has been renovated or repaired in several decades, but that’s just how budget hotels are. The staff were quite friendly and accommodating.
