Hotels near Vihara Sinar Buddha (BLIA) 印尼棉蘭佛光寺, 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.

Room is clean but not fitted with night light lamp . Mattress is a bit too soft but pillow is too hard . Maybe that made me cannot sleep nicely . The sound proof is not that good and next day TV sound can be heard if the room have internal door access to other room type . Elevator service seems to be a bit slow .

I stayed here 4-nights for a conference that’s also happening in this hotel. So many things have gone wrong and enough reasons for me not coming back. 1. The reception (or should I said “deception”?), misguided me. They said my room is upgraded to Premiere room, with complimentary afternoon tea, and minibar. More about this below. 2. Went to the room but nothing special, also the weird furniture placement makes the room smaller. Room has view but mostly just building roofs. Appreciate the giant shower head though. 3. Went for afternoon tea with my business colleague and the waitress said I’m not eligible for the complimentary. She said the receptionist made a mistake. Fine. 4. Got a call from reception, she said that Ieft my ID card at the reception. Which can be avoided if she did not forget to pass the ID card back after she copied it in. Went back to reception to get my ID card, and ask the reception about the afternoon tea to confirm whether I’m eligible or not. She said not and the minibar also not free unfortunately. Thank God I haven’t eat anything from the minibar 5. Breakfast at level 3 is unorganized, chaotic, and basically madness without crowd control. However I managed to get to the level 10 which is more quiet. Food quality is average. 6. I realized an item missing from the minibar, I did not consume them at all. I called in the operator and they were like “are you sure you’re staying alone, Sir?” I’m like… unbelieveable, why don’t you check with the housekeeping if they removed it or else? I just don’t want it to be billed on my room charge. I know it’s just a potato chip that I could easily replace from minimart, but imagine if they took other items and then billed it to your room. 7. The only nice experience I had in this hotel is the dinner, food surprisingly decent. Also the service is nice (maybe because we were the only customers?). Oh and concierge staffs also very helpful keeping my deliveries and helping me with my stuff when I checked out without me asking.

The restaurant in Aryaduta called The Kitchen, I have tried their Watermelon Yogurt, and it was delicious. I couldn't finish and ask them pack for me, they even take the initiative to send it to my room. Very good service.

This is not my first time to stay in Karibia and this round i had book again the same hotel for my families and the place is very convenient to access to Mall and train station where people can travel to airport easily

Positive points: - Comfortable bed - Clean room (except the bathroom) - Smart tv with streaming apps (but you must have your own subscription) - Room size - parquet floor - Location Negative points - Deposit is a MUST (hotel thinks that any guest has malicious intent to steal room items. Please, they’re not even the top of the line). You cannot use this deposit to pay room service (maybe can if you deposit more, like much more). Upon checking out, the front desk will have sb checking the room before refunding your deposit. Geez. - soundproofing is non existent. You can hear ppl next door, the traffic, nearby train, and worst, the noise from the club on top floor). Tried staying in a room facing the pool. It helped to reduce some noise from traffic and train, but does not eliminate it (and they charge more for this room!!) - breakfast is basic - bathroom drainage cannot completely drain water. Take a shower in the evening and you will still see some puddle in the morning. Gross. - wifi is hit and miss

Hotel located at decent area, with food surrounding the area. Pros: 1. Great housekeeping and front desk team 2. Staff in this hotel is definitely the highlights 3. They provide WhatsApp number for any request 4. Newly renovated is decently furnished for the price Cons: 1. Shower pressure is extremely weak, and they can't increase it, no matter how you adjust it and even getting engineering to look into it. 2. Facilities is not renovated, i.e swimming pool area. 3. Other guest is a nightmare (part 1) they smoke at the swimming pool area, then proceed to throw cigarette butts and spit into the swimming pool. Treating it like their waste pool. Secondly guest is wearing their full clothing and jump into the swimming pool. What a joke.. 4. Other guest (part 2) inconsiderate guest who is extremely noisy, and kept moving furniture thru out the night 4am and morning 8am, not to mention, they smoke in the non smoking room and the smell gets thru my room, due to shared ventilation. 1mil rupiah fine is too little!! Some suggestions, have a exit direct to swimming pool, instead of going thru smoking room at level 2. Perhaps put non Indonesian couple on the same floor, instead of mixing them with other unruly guest. Have a guard to control people in swimming pool to ensure pool rules is enforced, knowing Indonesian guest have 0 education on following rules.

Decent facilities. One of the best hotels in town in my opinion. Breakfast was very decent, located at a convenient hotel. Considered to be reasonably priced compared to other international hotels in Jakarta.

A clean and good hotel with best location in Medan city. My room was large, clean and very comfortable. Came around 15.20, and had to wait the room to be ready around 15 minutes. And not even a welcome drink served during my waiting time. No complain but that small gesture is kinda needed... However the FO lady who handled me was very friendly... Very recommended to stay here...

Looks grand hotel from Marriot… but - not helpful although we are their group members… but to the politic figures also staying there special treatment… - I just request away from noise but they intentionally subject me to more noises. STRESSED!!!! - the bed are small. - the toilet only overhead shower. - no shaver and no comb… - the fridge not cold… - the breakfast food so…so… food not hot and are hard… food not replenish immediately… the only nice food is the Lontong Medan… - the bar serve margarita was bad… For me, I will skip this hotel where possible… unless there are no more better hotel…
