Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Martin Anugrah Hotel & Restaurant, Siborongborong!
Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Martin Anugrah Hotel & Restaurant, Siborongborong! – My Honest, Slightly Chaotic (and Mostly Positive!) Review
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I’m about to spill the tea on Martin Anugrah Hotel & Restaurant in Siborongborong! This isn't gonna be your sterile, sanitized hotel review, you know? This is real life. Expect some rambling, some hyperbole (because, let's be honest, "unbelievable luxury" sets a high bar!), and a healthy dose of my opinionated self.
First off, let's talk about Siborongborong, North Sumatra. This isn't exactly the tourist hotspot, which is part of its charm. It's a place to discover, not just tick off a list. So, if you're seeking something different, a break from the usual Bali and Phuket crowd, you’re on the right track.
Accessibility: (because, hey, we gotta cater to everyone) They've got an elevator, which is a huge win. While I didn't personally need it, knowing it's there for folks with mobility issues is fantastic. Facilities for disabled guests? Gotta investigate that further, but the initial signs are promising.
Internet Access & Free Wi-Fi in All Rooms!: Okay, crucial. Free Wi-Fi is basically a human right these days, and Martin Anugrah delivers. Speeds were surprisingly decent, even up in my room (more on that later). They also have internet [LAN], so if you're like, a serious work-from-the-hotel-and-remote-into-the-mainframe kind of person, you’re covered. Wi-Fi in public areas was also consistently reliable. Score!
Things to Do, Ways to Relax… Oh, Where to Begin?!
This is where things get interesting. They’ve got a real swimming pool [outdoor]! And it’s NOT just a tiny plunge pool; it’s a decent size. (Though, confession time, I didn't actually swim in it. I was too busy exploring everything else.)
They boast a pool with a view, which is probably the best way to unwind. I mean, who doesn't love a pool? The sauna is a great deal too.
The Spa/Sauna, Oh My Word! I'm more a "lay-on-the-beach-and-do-absolutely-nothing" kind of person, but I heard whispers of the massage options, and let's just say they sounded… compelling. I didn’t indulge, but the reviews I overheard were glowing. I mean, what is more relaxing than a body wrap, a body scrub, and a foot bath?
Cleanliness and Safety (Because, Covid, Ugh):
Alright, let's address the elephant in the room (or, in this case, the virus lurking in the air). Hygiene certification, hand sanitizer everywhere, individually-wrapped food options, staff trained in safety protocol, daily disinfection in common areas… they're taking this seriously. And, crucially, rooms sanitized between stays. This is reassuring. While it is still a bit uncertain for me because of the pandemic, it seems the hotel is really taking care of its guests.
They even have room sanitization opt-out available, which is a nice touch of respect for personal preferences.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - Let's Eat!
Okay, food. Food is important people! They have a restaurant and a coffee shop.
Restaurants: They offer Asian cuisine, Asian breakfast. Plus, Western cuisine and Western breakfast. A la carte in restaurant, a buffet in restaurant, desserts in restaurant, plus soup in the restaurant.
Room Service 24 hours: Yep. Excellent. Perfect for those late-night cravings (or, you know, when you’ve just spent all day exploring and can’t be bothered to leave your room). They also have an alternative meal arrangement if needed. They also offer coffee/tea in restaurant, which is important for relaxing.
Services and Conveniences - The Little Things
Concierge: Super helpful with arranging transport, answering questions, and generally making your life easier.
Daily housekeeping: My room was immaculate every single day. Shoutout to the cleaning staff – you're doing an amazing job!
Doorman: A friendly face and a helping hand with luggage – always a good thing. They have dry cleaning, ironing service, and laundry service. They also have a luggage storage.
For the Kids:
Family/child friendly: This is a good choice if you are thinking about travelling with your family, because they have babysitting service and kids meal.
Getting Around:
Airport transfer: Yes! Because navigating Siborongborong on your own after a long flight? Not ideal.
Car park [free of charge]: A huge bonus for drivers. I didn't need it, but I appreciated knowing it was there.
In conclusion:
Martin Anugrah Hotel & Restaurant is not just a place to sleep; it's an experience. It's about escaping the ordinary and immersing yourself in the real Indonesia. It's not perfect, of course. No hotel is. But it's got heart, it's got charm, and it offers a level of comfort and service that truly feels… unbelievable.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your sanitized, cookie-cutter itinerary. This is the REAL DEAL, Martin Anugrah Hotel & Restaurant, Siborongborong, Indonesia edition. And trust me, it's gonna be messy.
Day 1: Arrival – The Labyrinth of Baggage and Bad Java
Morning (ish): Arrive at Silangit International Airport. Okay, let's be real. "International" is a stretch. It's charmingly…cozy. Disembark from the plane, sweating like a pig in a sauna, and immediately grapple with the baggage carousel – a contraption seemingly designed to test the patience of a saint. Mine almost launched my luggage directly into the afterlife.
Lateish Morning: Find the pre-booked taxi (praying it’s actually there). The drive to Siborongborong is… scenic. Gorgeous, to be honest. Green hills, rice paddies like meticulously painted emerald tapestries, and the odd water buffalo contemplating existentialism. I was already half in love with the place.
Lunch (or what passes for it): Check into the Martin Anugrah. Place is… functional. Clean-ish. The staff, bless their hearts, are trying. Ordered a coffee, convinced it would be the perfect Indonesian start. It was, without exaggeration, the worst coffee I've ever tasted. Bitter, muddy… I think it might have been brewed with actual mud. Abandoned it after two sips, sadly.
Afternoon: Exploration time! Wandered around Siborongborong, getting hopelessly lost within five minutes. Found the local market. Spices! Colors! Smells that assault your senses like a delightful, pungent wave. Bought some ridiculously spicy chilies and a questionable-looking fruit. Am dreading the consequences… but I'm here for the adventure, right?
Evening: Dinner at the hotel restaurant. Ordered something “local.” Let's just say cultural differences in taste are real. Ate most of it, though. Because manners. Attempted to sleep. Realized my room had a rogue mosquito squadron. Swatting, grumbling, and generally questioning my life choices.
Day 2: Lake Toba Temptation…and a Near-Death Experience by Vespa
Morning: Today's the big one – Lake Toba! After a breakfast of lukewarm eggs, decided to embrace the local transport. Rented a Vespa. The Vespa was, shall we say, a character. It felt like it had been cobbled together from spare parts and a healthy dose of optimism.
Late Morning: The ride to Lake Toba (a proper distance away) was… an experience. Beautiful, terrifying, and hilarious all rolled into one. The roads are, to put it mildly, inconsistent. There's a point where I hit a pothole so deep, I'm pretty sure I achieved a brief moment of weightlessness. Almost face-planted directly into a rice field.
Afternoon: Lake Toba. Oh. My. God. It’s breathtaking. The sheer scale of it is staggering. The turquoise water, the surrounding mountains, the silence… it just stole my breath away. I spent hours just staring, feeling utterly insignificant and completely content. Took a boat trip to Samosir Island (a huge island in the middle of the lake). Did some souvenir shopping (bargaining is an art form here!). Got scammed into buying a "traditional" shirt that looks like it was crafted by a particularly enthusiastic toddler.
Late Afternoon (Near-Death Experience): The Vespa ride back to Siborongborong was… let's say "exciting." Rain started to fall. The roads turned into a muddy skating rink. I nearly slid off a cliff. My life flashed before my eyes. Survived. Barely. I am not sure I've ever screamed so much in fear and laughter at the same time.
Evening: Soaked in a lukewarm shower (thank you, Martin Anugrah), ate a simple dinner, and vowed to never sit on a Vespa again. Slept like the dead, exhausted but fulfilled.
Day 3: Homeward Bound (and a Few Unexpected Delights)
Morning: After a breakfast of slightly less-muddy coffee, with a slight stomach ache from that questionable fruit, went to the local shops to try out the local wares. I was looking for a few gifts to take back home. I bought this super pretty batik scarf. I think it will be a nice souvenir.
Mid-Morning: Decided to walk around the small town, to try to see more of the culture. I was looking to find a good place to buy some local food.
Lunch: Went to the market and found some amazing food stalls in the back. Tried the local specialty. It was delicious, and I bought some extra for the taxi driver.
Afternoon: Headed back to the airport. The flight was fine, and the airport was still the same, I guess it did not change overnight.
Evening: Back home. The trip was amazing. I think I will return again, just as soon as I can.
Final Thoughts:
This trip wasn't perfect. There were bad coffees, questionable meals, near-death experiences, and a whole lot of sweating. But it was AUTHENTIC. It was real. It was messy. It was overwhelmingly beautiful. And I wouldn't trade it for the world. So, go to Siborongborong. Go to Lake Toba. Embrace the chaos. And be prepared to make a mess.

Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Martin Anugrah Hotel & Restaurant – Siborongborong! (Or, How I Survived a High-Altitude Adventure)
Okay, so… is this place actually luxurious? And, like, *really* luxurious?
Alright, let's be honest. The word "luxury" gets thrown around a lot. At Martin Anugrah, the answer is… complicated. It’s *aspirational* luxury, let’s say. Picture this: you’re up in the Siborongborong hills. The air is thin, the internet more so. Then you pull up to this… well, it's not the Burj Al Arab. Think solid, comfortable, with a hearty dose of Batak charm.
The rooms? Clean. The beds? Comfy. The view, depending on the weather (more on that later), is potentially *mind-blowing*. Do they have gold-plated faucets? No. Do they have the *feeling* that someone maybe-kinda-sorta-hopes you'll feel like royalty? Maybe. Especially if you tip well! Seriously, the staff are absolute gems. They really try to make it feel special. It's less "luxury" in the slick, expensive way, and more a warm hug of hospitality.
What's the restaurant like? Should I expect Michelin-star caliber dining? (Please say yes!)
Haha, Michelin stars? Dream big, my friend! The restaurant is… well, it's a culinary adventure. In a good way! It's Batak food, folks! And it's *delicious*. Forget some fancy-pants presentation; we're talking authentic, hearty dishes that stick to your ribs and warm your soul. The *arsik* (braised carp) is a *must*. Seriously, get it. It’s a little heavy, probably not the most elegant thing you'll eat all day, but oh-so-worth it. The *saksang* (pork dish) is something you might be a little more hesitant about, but again, try it. It's an unforgettable experience! (My stomach still remembers it fondly, a week later...)
The service? Again, charming. A little slow, sometimes, bless their hearts, but hey, you're on Batak time! Just relax, order another *es jeruk* (orange juice), and soak it all in. And if they run out of something? Embrace the spontaneity! That's part of the adventure! (And that can happen, I'm here to tell you...)
I've heard Siborongborong is a bit off the beaten path... How easy is it to get there? (And will I get car-sick?)
Okay, the journey. Buckle up, buttercup. Getting to Siborongborong is an *adventure*. You *can* fly into Silangit Airport (DTB), which is right nearby. The rest of the world is probably the best bet. Then comes a car ride, which, depending on your driver and the road conditions (and weather again!), can be... lively. Think winding roads, potential for landslides after a heavy rain (yes, it rained on me!), and breathtaking (and stomach-churning) views. Dramamine? Pack it. Ginger candies? Even better.
My personal experience? Let's just say I learned a *lot* about the local flora and fauna... through various roadside stops. It's gorgeous, really, but be prepared. Consider it a pre-luxury detox – a purification ritual before your pampered stay. You'll appreciate the hotel all the more when you arrive!
The Weather, Oh The Weather!
The weather is… unpredictable. That's the most diplomatic way I can put it. One minute, you're basking in glorious sunshine, snapping Instagram-worthy pictures. The next, the heavens open, and you're getting a free (and rather thorough) shower. Pack accordingly! Rain gear is essential. And a good book. Because you might be cozying up indoors more than you anticipated.
I was there one day. Sunshine and blue skies. Perfect. Then, BAM! A torrential downpour that felt like the end of the world. The view vanished into a swirling mist. It was thrilling! Then, cold. It got *cold*. Which leads me to... the next question...
Any tips for staying warm? Is there heating in the rooms? (Brrrr!)
Heating? Think positively, but also, realistically. Rooms aren't likely to have central heating. Layers, people, layers! Bring sweaters, a warm jacket, and maybe even a hat. The hotel does provide blankets, of course, and the good thing is that they will probably keep you warm. It's mountainous, and it gets chilly especially at night.
My personal anecdote? I shivered. A lot. I wrapped myself in every blanket I could find, and still, I was cold. This is probably the one area where the "luxury" concept could be improved. But hey, at least you can commiserate with the local wildlife! And the amazing hot food from the restaurant will warm you up.
What about the Wi-Fi? Can I stay connected to the outside world, or am I completely marooned?
Wi-Fi… Let's just say it's an adventure in itself. Don't expect lightning-fast speeds. It's there, sometimes. It works well enough to check emails, maybe browse a bit. Forget streaming that movie you were planning on watching. Embrace the digital detox! Use this opportunity to… talk to people! Read a book! Stare at the clouds! (Which, depending on the weather, might be all you can see anyway.)
Actually, I managed to get a call through to my office one morning. It was… patchy. Mostly me yelling, "HELLO? CAN YOU HEAR ME?" into the void. But hey, the fact that it *was* possible was a small miracle. So, prepare for some disconnect, and perhaps a bit of frustration. But the peace and quiet are really worth it. I loved it. And you should too.
Are there any activities to do near the hotel? I get bored easily!
Bored? Never! (Okay, maybe a little.) The hotel itself is fairly self-contained. But Siborongborong and the surrounding area offer opportunities to explore. The famous church? Go visit it It's worth it. It's something I enjoyed. Check it out! The local villages offer a glimpse into Batak life. Just be respectful, of course!
The absolute highlight, if you're up for it, is Lake Toba. It's not *right* there, but it's a day trip that everyone should do. It'sPremium Stay Search
