Luxury Podomoro City Apartments in Medan: Unbelievable Views & Amenities!
Luxury Podomoro City Apartments in Medan: My Messy, Honest, and Utterly Opinionated Love Letter (and Review!)
Okay, people, let's be real. Medan. You picture bustling streets, maybe a temple or two, and… well, not exactly unbelievable views and amenities. But that's exactly what I walked into with Luxury Podomoro City Apartments. And honestly? I'm still reeling.
Let's dive in, shall we? Buckle up, because this isn't your average, perfectly-polished review. This is me spilling the beans.
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag (But Mostly Good!)
Right off the bat, I will say that despite my personal level of mobility being generally fine, I did take some time to analyze how user-friendly this place felt. They've made a genuine effort. The Elevator is a godsend, especially considering the sheer height of the building! Facilities for disabled guests are present, which is always a plus. The car park is a dream, and, crucially, car park [free of charge]. Now, depending on your needs, you might want to check specifics ahead of time, but from what I saw, they're trying.
On-site Accessible Restaurants/Lounges: Potential for Improvement
I'm not going to lie; I need much more info to give a comprehensive answer.
Internet Access & Wi-Fi: Modern Life, Uninterrupted!
Okay, this is a big one for me. I need internet. In this day and age, it's non-negotiable. And the Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!? Glorious. Absolutely glorious. They didn't skimp here. Never a dropped connection, and fast enough to stream… well, everything. They also have Internet [LAN] which is good for the tech-heads among us.
Cleanliness and Safety: Masks Up!
Look, let's face it: we’re all a little germ-paranoid these days. Luxury Podomoro City Apartments delivered big time. Firstly, they offered up Anti-viral cleaning products. They had Daily disinfection in common areas. More importantly, they had Staff trained in safety protocol. I saw them sanitizing everything. They also had Room sanitization opt-out available. So, you want to sit back and relax in your room, it's up to you but they always ensured they had your health first. Excellent safety measures are in place as I witnessed.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Prepare to Undo Your Belt Buckle!
Okay, foodies, pull up a chair. This is where it gets serious. Let me lay down my thoughts.
- Restaurants: Plural! (Important). There's a Vegetarian restaurant. I'm not vegetarian, BUT I appreciate the inclusivity. They have a Bar, and a Poolside bar. And a Coffee shop.
- Breakfast in room: Yes, please! And they have Breakfast [buffet] AND Breakfast service. Plus, you might be able to get a Breakfast takeaway service. They also do an Asian breakfast, alongside Western breakfast.
The food quality was superb throughout.
Services and Conveniences: They Thought of Everything (Almost)
I would be lying if I said they'd thought of everything. But they'd certainly tried! It was a pleasure. Daily housekeeping was a lifesaver. Concierge service? On point. They even have Cash withdrawal on-site, which saved me a frantic hunt for an ATM. There's also a Convenience store if you're feeling peckish in the middle of the night.
For the Kids: A Family Paradise (Or at Least, Very Kid-Friendly)
They have a Babysitting service? Score! They call themselves Family/child friendly, a fair assessment.
For the Love of God, the Views! And the Amenities!
This is where the "unbelievable" part really comes into play. The Pool with view? Absolutely breathtaking. I spent hours just staring out, lost in thought. The Gym/fitness center is well-equipped, which is important for people like me who like to burn off the delicious food they prepare. Sauna, Spa, and Steamroom: The ultimate relaxation trio? YASSSS!
Getting Around: Smooth Sailing
Airport transfer: Definitely a plus for weary travelers. They also have Taxi service and the option of Car park [free of charge].
Available in All Rooms: My Happy Place
Okay, the nuts and bolts: Air conditioning? Yep. Alarm clock? Naturally. Bathtub? Check. Blackout curtains? Essential for sleeping in after indulging in a long, luxurious breakfast. Coffee/tea maker? My love language. Free bottled water? Hydration is key! Hair dryer? Thank God. In-room safe box? Always a comfort.

Unbelievable Point Lonsdale Getaway: Luxurious Guest House Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously planned itinerary. We're talking Medan, Indonesia, from the luxurious (supposedly) confines of the Apartemen Mewah Terbaik Podomoro City Deli Medan. And let me tell you, between you and me, mewah is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the marketing department.
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Noodle Debacle (and Immediate Regret)
14:00 - Touchdown at Kualanamu International Airport. Humidity slaps you in the face like a disapproving aunt. Immediately, I’m thinking: "Okay, this is going to be a sweat-fest." Grab a taxi (haggling is a must!), and pray they know where Podomoro City is. My phone's data plan is, blessedly, working.
15:00 - Arrive at the "Mewah" apartment. Okay, the lobby is quite glitzy with its giant chandeliers and overly-enthusiastic security guards. The apartment itself? Well… it’s definitely an apartment. The balcony does look like it might have a view, provided you ignore the construction crane currently attempting to mate with the building next door. Honestly, I’m already picturing the Instagram post with, like, “Living the high life!” eye roll
16:00 - Unpack, which mostly involves me mentally calculating the laundry situation because dear god, the humidity. Assess the fridge. Empty. Panic briefly sets in.
17:00 - Fuel for the journey: Find food! Head out, determined to find some fantastic local cuisine. Armed with Google Maps and a healthy dose of optimism, I stumble (literally) into a warung (small eatery). I point at something that looks vaguely noodle-y. Big mistake. HUGE. This is the infamous Great Noodle Debacle. The noodles are… let’s say, al dente to an extreme. The broth? A spicy, oily swamp of questionable origin. Attempt to discreetly push it aside. Fail miserably. Regret everything.
18:00 - Walk up and down street, find a small shop selling Ice Cream.
18:30 - Ice cream shop. The savior. I get a cone. Maybe this trip will be okay.
19:00 - Contemplate the meaning of life while simultaneously battling a small, persistent mosquito in my "Mewah" apartment. Check the view from the balcony again. Construction crane is still there. Sigh.
Day 2: Temples, Trucks and Tempeh (and a Lesson in Patience)
08:00 - Wake up. Still alive! (Mostly). Breakfast: Instant coffee and the last questionable biscuit from the airport.
09:00 - Decide I must explore. First thing, a visit to the Vihara Gunung Timur, a beautiful Chinese Buddhist temple. It's a vibrant splash of colour and tranquility in the middle of a chaotic city.
11:00 - Trying to take public transport. The bus is packed. The traffic is atrocious. Realize I'm the slowest moving thing in the vicinity, including the snail that's probably also trying to get somewhere in that bus.
12:00 - Finally, made it to a place with traditional food. Tempeh! So tasty. But so much waiting.
13:00 - Get back to the "Mewah" Apartment. Actually, it feels a bit more like a crash pad at this point, but whatever. Take a shower. Another shower. This humidity is relentless.
14:00 - Nap. Yes, a nap is essential. The intensity of the city is exhausting, good grief.
16:00 - Wander around the complex, and eventually discover a hidden pool. Okay, now we’re talking. The “mewah” is starting to feel a little more justified.
18:00 - Dinner. Find a place serving sate (grilled meat skewers). Savor the deliciousness. Finally, a win. Think about how much I miss my comfortable life, and how easy it is to take for granted.
Day 3: The Lake Toba Dream (and the Curse of the Over-Packed Itinerary)
06:00 - Wake up, because somebody needs to make an earlier start, and get to Lake Toba. It’s a long trip (a very long trip), but I'm determined to see the legendary Lake Toba, the largest volcanic lake in the world. This is a must-do.
07:00 - Taxi to the bus station. Again, the haggling. It now feels like a sport.
09:00 - The bus. It’s a rickety, old thing, but it has air conditioning (sort of). Pray it gets me there in one piece.
10:00 - Traffic. Oh, the traffic! This is the point where I start calculating how long it will take to actually get anywhere.
13:00 - Lunch, some place. Some food. Somewhere.
16:00 - Arrived. Lake Toba is… breathtaking. Seriously. Words can’t describe it. The scale of it, the colours, the air… It's a spiritual experience. Totally worth the ridiculously exhausting journey.
18:00 - Find a nice little warung by the lake. Drink some coffee. Watch the sunset. Feel genuinely happy. This is the moment I came for. Make a mental note to spend more time here next time.
19:00 - After the sunset, eat a meal. Local. Simple. Perfect.
Day 4: Return to Medan and the Search for Clean Laundry
07:00 - Wake up at the hotel. Eat breakfast. The return journey. Thinking about the long bus trip and the traffic.
10:00 - Stop and ate some lunch.
14:00 - Return to "Mewah" Apartment.
15:00 - The laundry. Oh god, the laundry. It’s piling up. The humidity has rendered my clothes permanently damp. Figure out how to get washing done. It’s more complicated than I anticipated.
17:00 - Explore the shopping mall connected to the apartment complex. I need souvenirs. And maybe a new, less-sweaty shirt.
19:00 - Dinner. Attempt to find a decent restaurant. Fail, at least temporarily. End up ordering something from room service which is… surprisingly good!
Day 5: Departure (and the Bitter-Sweet Farewell)
08:00 - Last breakfast. The realization that my time here is ending. Mixed feelings. Glad to be going home, but also already missing… well, not the noodles, but the vibrant chaos, the friendly faces, and the sheer, unapologetic life of Medan.
09:00 - Pack. Try to remember where I left those souvenirs.
10:00 - One Last visit to the small shop. Saying goodbye.
11:00 - Check out of the "Mewah" apartment. Wave goodbye to the construction crane.
12:00 - Airport. The airport.
14:00 - Flight. Sitting on the plane. A little bit tired. A little bit changed. Already planning to come back. In the end, this trip wasn't perfect, and there were problems. But the truth is, it was also completely and utterly unforgettable. This is the messy, wonderful, honest truth. Medan, I'll be back. Maybe I’ll learn to love those noodles one day.
Luxury Podomoro City Apartments in Medan: Unbelievable Views & Amenities! (My Messy, Honest Take)
Okay, spill the beans. Is the "Unbelievable View" hype real at Podomoro City Medan?
Alright, alright! You wanna know about the view, huh? Look, I’ve lived in Medan my whole life. I've seen buildings. Lots of 'em. Honestly, I kinda rolled my eyes when I first heard about this. "Unbelievable?!" Please. But… and this is a big but… I visited my friend, Maya, who *actually* lives there. And… wow. Just… wow. Okay, yes, the view? It's real. Like, retina-searing, jaw-dropping, "did I accidentally take a magic mushroom?" real. From her balcony, on a clear day, you can see all the way to… well, I'm pretty sure I saw the next province over! And the sunset? Forget about it. I had to *actually* apologize to my Instagram feed because I couldn't stop posting pictures. My neighbor, a retired teacher, even started calling me 'Sunset-Obsessed'. #WorthIt. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes the smog is... Medan-y. But even then, there’s a certain… hazy beauty? I sound like a pretentious art student, don't I? But seriously, get a view. It’s a game changer.
What about the Amenities? They promise a lot… do they actually deliver?
Okay, the amenities... let’s be honest, this is where things get… complicated. They've got the pool, the gym, the… well, you can read the brochure. They *do* deliver. The pool is beautiful. Seriously, Instagram-worthy. I’ve spent an embarrassing amount of time there. Mostly just floating around, avoiding anything resembling exercise. The gym? I went once. Once! It was… intimidating. All these buff gods and goddesses pumping iron. I felt like a lost baby chick. I stuck to the pool. There's also a kids' area (that’s where I spend time when Maya's kid comes over!). But the *real* winner? The rooftop garden. It’s… an oasis. Except, the wifi up there is patchy. And the plants look a little… sad. Maybe they need more watering? I don't know. But the potential is there. Plus, there was that time I was up there with my friend, and we got completely locked out. We had to climb over a fence! (Don’t tell security). So, yeah, the amenities? Good, with some… room for improvement.
Living in luxury sounds expensive. How pricey are these apartments, really?
Okay, this is the part where your wallet starts to sweat. Let's be real: Podomoro City is *not* cheap. Which isn’t a surprise – it's luxury! I’ve asked Maya and she's said, you'll be paying a hefty sum, but that number varies significantly. I'll just stick to saying what I know, so, you're looking at a significant monthly payment! Think of it like this: you're paying for the view, the convenience, and the lifestyle. But you're also paying for… the bragging rights? Okay, maybe I'm jealous. Still, I've seen people living there, seemingly enjoying a certain level of… *effortlessness*. Like, they just *breeze* through life. Me? I'm over here, still trying to figure out how to pay my phone bill. But hey, if you can swing it? Go for it!
Is it noisy? Medan can be… well, Medan.
Medan is a symphony of horns, right? The constant *beep beep* of bajajs, the rumble of trucks… yeah, it can be a bit much. Especially after waking up with jet lag in the morning.. But Maya tells me the soundproofing is pretty good. She barely hears anything. (I live next door to a *very* enthusiastic karaoke enthusiast so I would literally pay for a soundproof room!) Of course, it's Medan, so you *might* still get the occasional whiff of durian (that's just life here!). But generally, no, it's surprisingly peaceful. Except when the neighbors are throwing a party. And their parties are usually *loud*! But you know... good food, and good company. Can't win 'em all, I guess?
How convenient is the location? Is it easy to get around?
Location, location, location! Podomoro City is pretty central. It’s got easy access to main roads, (a HUGE PLUS in Medan traffic!) You can always find a Grab. Sometimes, maybe, the app glitches and tries to take you to Jakarta (true story!), but usually, it's fine. And there are shops, restaurants, and all sorts of stuff nearby. Basically, it's convenient. I mean, I had to walk 20 minutes to a proper, authentic nasi padang the other day (the one in the food court is… eh). But other than that, yeah, you're good.
Are there any hidden downsides that you haven't mentioned yet?
Okay, the downsides. Right, where do I begin? Yes. There are a few things. First the elevators. Don't even get me started on the elevators. Sometimes they’re *slow*. Sometimes they’re *busy*. Once, I was stuck in one for a good twenty minutes with a particularly chatty aunty who kept asking me about my relationship status. Torture. Secondly, the parking situation can be… challenging. Especially on weekends, and especially if you're driving a *big* car (and let's face it, Medan loves its big cars!), And lastly, the… *sense* of community. It's a bit… cliquey, I guess? Everyone seems to know each other, and I'm not sure how to break into these friend groups. I'm a bit of an introvert anyway, but still... a little friendly nod here and there wouldn't hurt, people! But hey, you're paying for the peace and quiet, so I guess that's why they're all introverted, right?
Okay, so, would you actually *recommend* living at Podomoro City?
Alright, the million-dollar question. Would *I* recommend it? Hmm... If you can afford it, and if you can handle Medan's particular brand of chaos while appreciating its beautiful side, then yes, absolutely. The view alone is worth it. Plus, there is something to be said for a little bit of luxury. It's a good choice, all things considered. I might have to start saving… or maybe just keep visiting Maya. #FreeLunchesAndViews
