My wife and I visited the hotel in November and we have nothing, but good to say about the hotel and the service. The hotel is a lovely haven of peace in comparison to the hectic city outside. The rooms were bright and clean, the restaurant served delicious Dutch and Indonesian food, breakfast was served overlooking the duck pond, the... More

I came to Sumatra on the spur of the moment for 6 days. I stayed here for 2 days and then Trijaya (the tour company operated by the owners of the hotel) organised me a trip to the highlands although these were very busy with the holidays. The I came back to Medan for the last day. It is a... More

Hotel offers very clean, rarely quiet place in the middle of small private „botanic garden“, air-conditioned rooms with TV, C+W water, beautiful clean swimming pool, tasty cusine (I can honestly...

My wife and I stayed a couple of days in Hotel Deli River before starting our nostalgic trip to Padang. Deli River is a high standard, pretty, beautifully situated, colonial style hotel, providing excellent services.

As other reviews already stated: The hotel is a beautiful estate in maybe the most beautiful place you could find in Medan: In the outskirts of the city, some 5km south of the airport, built on a hill at the shore of Deli river (as the name suggests). It is a very beautiful hide-away, especially for families with smaller children:... More

The swimming pool is very nice and relaxing after a hot day. It has a great view on the Deli river and makes you almost forget you are near the... More

This beautiful haven in Medan was the perfect beginning and end to our 5 day trip to visit Lake Toba and the Batak villages. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff personable and well trained. We only ate the Indonesian food which was very good indeed. We particularly enjoyed the breakfast with home made bread and pineapple jam.... More
