favehotel S. Parman Medan

Breakfast buffet was very good, especially for locals. Eggs were freshly made to your liking. Aircon and wifi in rooms working well, shower hot.

the aircon lighting made the room very light

SECURITY • [7.5] A key card is needed when accessing the elevator to get into the room. A safety box is available in the room. HYGIENE • [8.0] The lobby was clean. The room was clean and the beds were tidy. The bathroom and shower were also clean. LOCATION • [8.0] Hotel is easily located by its vibrant purple color. Rahmat International Wildlife Museum is located right next to it. There are several restaurants nearby the hotel. Downtown center complex is located 15-30 minutes by taking Grab/GoCar (depends on the traffic). AMENITY • [6.7] Had a minor issue regarding the phone in my room [6.0] and an issue with the soap's container [5.0]. The WiFi worked well [8.0]. Several amenities are available on request to the room service (i.e. hairdryer). Too bad the voltage of the hairdryer was too small [6.0]. The breakfast buffet was surprisingly good. The variation of the foods was great and we got a great taste of Medan's culinary. Quiet splendid in my opinion for a 3-star hotel. My mom and I loved it. :) [8.5] FACILITY • [7.0] The hotel's facility was well maintained. There was a slight odor of paint at our floor. It's apparent that the wall was painted recently. But the smell was still OK and it shows that the staffs try to maintain the appearance of the hotel for guests' comfort. SERVICE • [8.0] All of the staffs are helpful and have a good courtesy towards guests. They readily assisting me when I had issues in my room. VALUE • [7.0] For the rate given I think it's a good choice for those who needs comfort while having a short stay in Medan. FINAL VERDICT [7.5] GOOD TO EXCELLENT This is a nice hotel for having a short stay. I recommend this hotel for budget travelers who're willing to pay a bit more (compared to other hotels) in hoping for a better staying experience. There're still many aspects that need to be improved, staffs should regularly check for a broken or problematic amenities.

• AMENITY The only major issues I had was with the soap container in the bathroom. At first I thought that the soap had run out and try to call the room service. Apparently the phone was also broken and so I went to the lobby myself to inform both of the issues to the receptionist. The staffs were really helpful. They replace the broken phone and also checked the soap container. Apparently the soap liquid got hardened and blocked the container outlet. The staff replaced the soap with the new one immediately.
