Guest UserThe hotel's location is good, close to the train station and the old post office, which now houses some chic restaurants. The hotel exudes the charm of 1970s luxury. The rooms are large with all the amenities of a 5-star hotel. The pool, however, is frequented by many children and feels more like a public swimming bath.
Be prepared to exercise patience at this hotel. You'll wait in line for the elevator, for a table at breakfast, and again at the egg station, all while enduring many restless children. The breakfast buffet isn't just for hotel guests; it's also heavily utilized by local families.
Despite these minor inconveniences, the staff is helpful and friendly. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, and I would return if I come back to Medan.

Guest UserThe moment I opened the room door, I was immediately impressed! The bed was clean, thick, and came with soft, plush pillows – it felt amazing to just collapse onto it after a long journey. The large window, with its pristine white curtains and sheers, framed a charming armchair and coffee table set in the corner of the room. I left the curtains open all night, allowing for a clear city view. The service was incredibly prompt, and the staff were very responsive and efficient. My request for an extra pillow, due to my back pain, was immediately fulfilled. What I had anticipated from an Aston group hotel, and indeed, what I found at Harper Hotel Wahid Hasyim by Aston, was a diverse and delicious breakfast spread. While perhaps not as extensive as some larger Aston hotels, for a hotel of its class, HARPER HOTEL BY ASTON IS THE BEST!! The hospitality of every hotel employee was also incredibly satisfying! Friendly, full of smiles, and helpful! It's absolutely great! As a tour operator, I highly recommend this hotel.

Guest UserExcellent! It truly lives up to its reputation as the best in the area. The breakfast is plentiful, and it's undoubtedly the cleanest hotel in Medan. It was fantastic; the bed was made exceptionally well, and the water provided was good. I'd definitely stay here again if I have the chance.

JL2026I stayed here because the hotel close to train station & shopping mall, besides there is a vegetarian restaurant next to the hotel which is very convenient for me as a vegetarian.
All the staffs were very friendly and helpful.
Room was not big enough but it’s ok. Food was not bad as well.

Guest UserNice room, good but noisy air conditioning, excellent shower. No fridge in the room. The staff are friendly and helpful. I had a great dinner in the restaurant and the breakfast buffet was fantastic: a very wide selection. The area isn't really great. The hotel is quite centrally located in Medan, but it's a chaotic city with heavy traffic. The train station is about a 20-minute walk away.

Guest UserEverything was good, except for one thing: I booked two nights in a smoking room, but on the first night, I was given a non-smoking room. I only got a smoking room on the second night. Also, on the second night, my family and I wanted to use the pool at 7 PM, but we weren't allowed because it was being used for a wedding dinner. Even though the pool is supposed to be an amenity for guests.

ElmutI stayed here with my family during our holiday in Medan. Although the hotel is a bit old, it has its own charm. The breakfast was excellent, offering a wide variety of options. Traveling with a young child, we especially appreciated the nice swimming pool, which made our stay very enjoyable.

JustJGrand Sakura Hotel is an acceptable budget-friendly option in Medan, especially considering the price point, but the property is showing its age and could benefit greatly from renovations.
The room was functional but extremely dated. Furnishings and fixtures feel old, and the overall atmosphere lacks the freshness that many travellers would expect today. The television is very basic, and several channels are blurry, making the in-room entertainment experience quite limited.
One positive aspect is the lobby, which is well presented and has a pleasant scent, creating a good first impression upon arrival. Unfortunately, the experience doesn’t quite continue into other areas of the hotel.
Breakfast was one of the weaker points of the stay. The selection was minimal, and there wasn’t anything particularly memorable or standout among the offerings. It gets the job done, but don’t expect much variety or quality compared to other hotels in the same category.
The gym was also disappointing. It is essentially a very small room with around five pieces of equipment, several of which appeared to be broken or poorly maintained. Calling it a full fitness centre would be an overstatement.
Overall, Grand Sakura Hotel offers reasonable value for money if you’re simply looking for an affordable place to stay in Medan. However, with some refurbishment and better maintenance of its facilities, the hotel could significantly improve the guest experience and better justify its position in the market.
