Hotels near Soewondo Air Force Base - MES, Medan

Medan itself is not very inviting to visitors. I stay there only on my way or return from Lake Toba. The hotels in Medan are OK and I visited Aryaduta for many years already. Is value for money with a fantastic breakfast buffet. Rooms are always OK.

I think the restaurant should've open ealier cause I am really starving and craving for food in the morning. The people was nice and affable. When we asked questions, they wore a smile and answered patiently. The becak and angkut were great, l enjoyed the breeze and the city view. Deli Park was majestic ✨️ and also Tjong A Fie Mansion was spectacular and historical. What I like the most in Medan is definitely the Medan people! They are amiable, helpful snd loving ! A memorable trip indeed.

Medan is such a healing place to go. Less than one hour flight from KUL-KNO and very peaceful in lake toba. I suggest to just spend time in Lake Toba as the place serve you with beautiful nature scenery that can calm your mind. If you wish to go travel immediately and on budget please consider Lake Toba.

We went to Medan solely so we could visit the Orangutans in the wild - we were totally successful in this enterprise. Only one day was required in visiting Mount Leuser National Park. Three tourist sites stood out for us - they could all be visited in one further full day: Tjong A Fie Mansion Maximum Palace Rahman International Wildlife Museum (quite expensive at Rp 300,000 each) We spent 6 nights in Medan - we could have done it all easily in 3 nights! Compared with other Far-East cities, Medan lags behind in tourism preparedness.

Medan is a big, noisy, dusty city. Nothing to do here or no memorable sights, although the mosques are pleasant to lok at. Enough shopping malls though to pass a day. Easy to get around as GRAB. Non meat eaters can find it difficult to find somewhere good to eat.

Medan is an interesting city with a mix of different cultures - Batak, Javanse Achenese, Chinese. There are some excellent restaurants - in the old China Town. I recommend Cambridge Mall for Restaurants and Cinemas. I also recommend visiting Berastagi , 3 hours by car. A charming Hill station where they grow beautiful flowers and fruits.
