"Sinabung Hills is a really majestically located resort ! High mountains, crisp air and stunning views ! Although the furniture is old and the rooms need a facelift, telltale renovation works are being carried out in stages. It is really a pristine location, very near (15km) to not one but two fairly active volcaones ! Mount Sibayak (2051 metres) and the more ominous Mount Sinabung(2451 metres) which erupted recently ! There are also hot springs(one with volcanic ash for therapeutic skin !) and rainforest trekking with good guides available at the nearby town of Berastagi below. No problems with hot water in rooms. The large swimming pool uses nice, mountain spring water with little chlorine. The sprawling lawns with a park is good to gaze at the stars for lovers and young at heart ! The staff were friendly and helpful. Also the restaurant served very good food (Chinese, Indon, Western) at fair prices. The place is perfect for couples, families, corporate functions and events like marriage ceremonies. I truly recommend this place even though no minivans go up the hill after 8pm. I am definitely going back ! "

"It was good and this hotel might be the best hotel in Berastagi area, yet still have plenty or rooms of improvement. Instead of going out to have dinner, my aunties who visited this hotel quite often recommended us to have dinner in the hotel and indeed it's a good choice. However, the breakfast is too simple. Not much choices and doesn't taste so good. Pool was not that clean although we saw a staff was cleaning the pool at that time. Room's carpet is dirty and old but the bed itself is OK. The restroom is spacious with shower and bathtub inside. Internet is only available at lobby area. Lobby area is prettier than some others popular hotels in that area. "

"This place is very close to a mosque so expect loud calls over the speakers at around 5am. No basin in bathroom. The bathroom is quite dirty. Not sure if this is relevant, but us Asian travellers were treated differently than Caucasian travellers. We got the feeling we were unwelcome there. Location wise, it's very near to the fruits market and shops. A highly recommended tour agency (for Berastagi day tours and back to Parapat) is at the same row with a Muslim restaurant. Look for Walter and tell him Seeyuan says hi! :D"

"Because it was chinese new year and we arrived late i got a lousy noisy room with no view. don't chose a room in 9 series on ground floor as louvred glass is all that protects you from screaming children passing by 2 meters away from bed. our complaint was well-reeceived and we were upgraded to a deluxe room for minimal extra charge. these rooms on the Funland side are spacious and well designed. No plugs to charge phones etc in any room. Wi-fi in lobby and restaurant only. Reception a bit sleepy and soviet-era service( if you order a two boxed breakfasts) for a 4 a m dept , the orders must be identical . despite these problems its easily the nicest hotel in Berastagi and the location is excellent."
