I think that rooms could be cleaner, but this is, what you get for that kind of money. The bathroom was almost impossible to use, because it was to small, and position of toilet was awful. They have nice terase on the top, so you can sit on it and enjoy. There is also wifi in the lobby.

I stayed in a small single room with a very small and simple bathroom. No window, equipped only with a queen-size bed, a coffee table and fan. There is not shower tap and no... More

I already booked 2 rooms (economy 60idr and standard 90idr) a week before I arrived. It's quite easy to reserve the room, only via website. Because it was too easy, I asked to them by email 'is the reservation step only like this?' and they replies 'yes' (we correspond in Bahasa Indonesia). But, by the time I arrived to this... More

I was exhausted after hours of travel and arrived at the Residence Hotel after finding it in a 2 year old travel guide that said it was new and affordable. The staff was very pleasant, which I why I felt awful when i packed my bags at 10pm and told them I was leaving. When I moved a bedside table... More

Cold water, bad shower (one of the worse in 10 months of travel), but at least we had a mirror in the bathroom and we could wash our teeth in a basin. No traffic noise since the hotel is located on... More

I stayed all together 3 times in Medan, two times in here and once next door as it was full. One reason it is nearly always fully booked is the combination of friendly and helpful staff, the good and cheap food and the free wifi. The rooms are clean whereas the bathrooms need some improvements. In addition the bathrooms are... More

We stayed here for one night and it was awful. A musty smelling small room with a dirty bathroom with of course cold shower and bucket flush toilet. Please save yourself this hotel.
