Medan's BEST RedDoorz Syariah Hotel Near Teladan Stadium!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the chaotic, beautiful world of Medan's BEST RedDoorz Syariah Hotel Near Teladan Stadium! And you, my friend, are about to get the real, unfiltered deal. Forget those polished travel brochures. This is the truth.
First Impressions & Accessibility - A Mixed Bag (Like Life Itself)
Okay, so the "BEST" part of the name? We'll get there. First, let's talk accessibility. Now, I'm not in a wheelchair, but I am a klutz who sometimes feels like I need ramps everywhere. And honestly? This RedDoorz tries. There's an elevator, that's a big plus. But the whole "Syariah" thing? It probably impacts the overall vibe, and by that I mean, it's SUPER important to note that if you have a partner of different gender, you need to be married to stay in the same room. If you don't follow these cultural norms, maybe this isn't the best hotel for you.
On-site restaurants/lounges: Food Adventures (and occasional hiccups)
Okay, let's be frank. I landed here after a grueling flight, starving. The hotel has some dining options. There's a restaurant, and they do offer a buffet. Let me tell you, sometimes, a buffet is a beautiful thing. A messy, glorious, everything-you-could-want celebration of food. BUT! I had my heart set on the Asian cuisine, and it was… okay. The flavors weren't exactly popping. Maybe I was expecting too much after the flight, but the noodles felt kinda…meh. The good news? A variety of options were available for sure including western options, and if you're like me, and prefer a coffee, there IS an onsite coffee shop!
Wheelchair Accessibility: A Work in Progress
As mentioned, there’s an elevator and they try. I didn't specifically assess this aspect, but from observation, it looks like they have a few things set. I highly recommend contacting the hotel directly for those on a wheelchair.
Internet: Bless the Wi-Fi Gods!
THANK YOU, RedDoorz, for the "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" It's a basic necessity in this day and age, and it worked like a charm. Seriously, I had to check my email (work life, am I right?), and it was smooth sailing. No agonizing buffering, which is a true blessing.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: The Spa - Where Dreams Go To Die (and Maybe Resurrect)
Okay, I’m a sucker for a good spa. This hotel says it has a spa. I walked in, expecting lush greenery, soothing music, and a heavenly massage. Now, maybe I came in with the wrong expectations. Maybe I caught them on a bad day. What I actually found was a dimly lit room with a massage table that looked like it had seen better years. The "sauna" seemed a bit… dusty. The massage itself? Well, the therapist was lovely, but the massage felt a little more poke-and-prod than melt-into-a-puddle relaxation. I went on hoping things would improve. I tried to focus on the "Pool with View" as I wanted to feel like I was going to get the best relaxation experience.
Cleanliness and Safety: They're Trying!
Alright, listen up, because this matters. The hotel is clearly making an effort to keep things clean. You see the hand sanitizer everywhere. They're using "Anti-viral cleaning products." I mean, I saw staff properly sanitizing things on a regular basis and they follow proper hotel procedures. I didn't see anything that made me feel unsafe or unclean (quite an accomplishment given the things I've experienced).
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Room Service = My Best Friend
Okay, listen, after that spa experience, I retreated to my room. Room service is my best friend right now. They claim to offer a "24-hour" service, which is important. I had a simple, comforting meal. The food got there relatively quickly, and there were some safe food options available. Look, sometimes you just want a plate of comfort food!
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things Matter
I loved the daily housekeeping. The air conditioning? Essential in Medan. And that elevator? Again, HUGE plus. The "concierge" wasn't overly helpful, but honestly, I didn't need much. The "Cash withdrawal" option was helpful. And I really appreciate the "Safe deposit boxes." Safety first, people!
For the Kids (or anyone who finds childlike wonder): The Good Things!
While I didn't travel with kids, I did see some hints of kid-friendliness. They have "Family/child friendly" atmosphere, some "Kids facilities," and even a babysitting service.
Getting Around: Location, Location, Location (and a bit of a challenge)
The hotel is "Near Teladan Stadium," which is both a pro and a con. Pro: It's easy to find. Con: well, you're not exactly in the heart of the action. I ended up using taxi service, but they also provide airport transfers, which is great!
Available in All Rooms: The Essentials (and a few oddities)
Air conditioning: Check. Free Wi-Fi: Check. Coffee/tea maker: Check. In-room safe box: Check. Now, here's a small note, I'm not sure why there's a "Bathroom phone" and "Scale". But if you're into those things? Fantastic!
Final Verdict & A Compelling Offer: The Good, The Bad, and the (Sometimes Surprisingly) Awesome
Okay, so is the Medan's BEST RedDoorz Syariah Hotel Near Teladan Stadium! perfect? Absolutely not. But it’s honest, and that means something. It's got its quirks (ahem, the spa). But it also has some serious strengths, especially when you consider the price.

Luxury Manila Condo: Stunning Kitchen & Modern Living!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into a Medan adventure! Forget pristine itineraries, we're going full-on life here. And yes, that means getting a little messy. We're talking RedDoorz Syariah near Stadion Teladan Medan… with all the glorious chaos that comes with. Here we go:
The Medan Mayhem: A RedDoorz Rumble (and a Whole Lot More)
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Noodle Nuisance
Morning (ish, let's be real): Landed in Kualanamu International Airport (KNO). The flight? Uneventful. Which, at my age, is a win. The airport's humid, which is a Medan welcome hug, I guess? Now, the absolute joy of haggling for a taxi! My Bahasa is, to put it mildly, terrible. It's a mix of panicked hand gestures and hopeful grunts. Eventually, the driver seems to understand I want RedDoorz. Score!
Afternoon: Check-in at RedDoorz Syariah. "Syariah"? Okay, cool. More importantly, is the air conditioning working? YES! I'm immediately in love. The room is…functional. Cleanish. The bed looks like it’s seen better days, but honestly, after the flight, anything is a palace. Unpacked, and now the crucial part: the search for food. I’m starving. Which leads to the first trial: finding decent noodles. I thought it would be easy, right? Medan, noodles, boom, food.
- An Aside on Medan Noodles: I swear, finding good mie (noodles) in Medan is like finding the holy grail. Wandered around the area near the stadium, and after 3 tries, finally found a joint. The noodles themselves were fine, not bad, but not mind-blowing. But the soup…the soup! The broth was almost metallic, like it was cooked in an old tin can. Took a few bites and abandoned it. Disappointment level: high. I will find my perfect Medan noodle. I will.
Evening: The sunset hit hard. The colors. Damn. I found a tiny warung (small, informal restaurant) down the street and stumbled upon a truly incredible chicken satay. The smoky, spicy flavor was absolute perfection. I think it was worth the noodle disappointment. Maybe I'm starting to like Medan. Maybe… It's a slow burn, this city.
Day 2: Toba Lake Tourist Trap (and the Great Bus Battle)
Morning: Okay, ambitious me. Decided to go to Lake Toba – the giant caldera lake. The travel plan was (haha) a simple bus. The reality? Took a city bus. I got on in confusion. Turns out all buses look the same to me for the first 10 minutes.
- The Bus Disaster: The bus ride was pure joy. The bus was full of people, loud music blasting. The driver, was crazy. It's hot, it's packed, it's loud – it's classic Southeast Asia. I somehow lost my water. I tried to ask for help. I had a terrible headache. Eventually, I see some kind of sign and get off. I never made it to Lake Toba.
- Emotional Reaction: Frustration? Yes. But also a weird kind of awe. Like, how does anyone function on these buses every single day? It's a testament to human resilience, I suppose.
Afternoon: Back in Medan. Exhausted. The heat, the bus, everything. I needed a nap. Slept like a rock, waking up feeling disoriented and slightly grumpy. This is when I realized I really needed a better map.
Evening: To cheer myself up, I went to a traditional market. It was sensory overload in the best way possible. The colors, the smells, the frantic energy…it’s absolutely intoxicating. The Durian guy was trying to sell me Durian. I, a notoriously picky person, took a deep whiff. It was not pleasant. I ran away. Found a local coffee shop. Coffee, finally.
Day 3: A Day for Coffee and the Little Things
Morning: The coffee shop became my sanctuary. This is where I'll be found every morning. The coffee is strong, the AC is blowing, I now even started to get used to the noise.
Afternoon: Decided to explore the area near the stadium further. Found a small park. I ended up spending a couple of hours just watching the world go by. It’s the simple things. This is an important moment to find this peace.
Evening: Dinner! Found a restaurant with really good grilled fish. The staff was lovely. A reminder, maybe, that every place you go has a good side. The restaurant, however, had a live musician playing the worst karaoke I've ever heard. It was terrible. And strangely… hilarious.
Day 4: The Noodle Redemption and the Airport Dash
Morning: Today's quest: the perfect noodles. I went online, I consulted the hotel worker (a very nice guy.) Finally, I found a place. The noodles were… glorious. Spicy, rich, perfectly cooked. I ate two bowls. Success! Finally, justice for my noodle craving.
Afternoon: Packing. This is when the feeling of not wanting to leave comes. It grew on me. The chaos, the food, even the bus rides. I've decided Medan might be a place I'd have to come back to.
Evening: Panic. The flight. The taxi was late. The airport was crowded. I barely made it. The absolute beauty of the journey coming to an end.
Final Thoughts:
Medan is not always pretty. It's not always perfect. But it's alive. It's messy and loud and frustrating and utterly captivating. The RedDoorz Syariah was… well, it was a place to sleep. But this trip? It was a journey. And I wouldn't trade it for anything. Seriously, I will be back for those noodles. And maybe, just maybe, I'll even brave the bus to Lake Toba next time. Probably not, though.

Medan's Hidden Gem (Maybe?!) - RedDoorz Syariah Near Teladan Stadium: Your Burning Questions Answered (With a LOT of Honesty)
1. Is this REALLY the "BEST" RedDoorz Syariah near the Stadium? Like, *actually*?
Okay, let's be real. "Best" is subjective, right? Like, what's your definition of "best"? Because if your definition involves a sparkling swimming pool, a Michelin-star restaurant, and butlers named Jeeves, then, nope. This ain't it. But if "best" means... affordable, clean-ish (see below... we'll get there), and conveniently located near Teladan Stadium, then... *maybe*. Look, I needed a place to crash after a VERY long day of haggling at the Pasar Petisah. And I needed to be close to the stadium for a thing... let's call it a "soccer-related event". (My allegiance to the local team is, shall we say, a *very* strong one. We’ll leave it there). This RedDoorz *was* close. Very close. So, judge for yourself, but I'm calling it... a solid contender for "decent".
2. Okay, "clean-ish"? What's the deal with cleanliness? Are we talking "hospital-grade" or "lived-in"?
Alright, here's the truth. Cleanliness is...a journey. It's not necessarily a *destination*. Let's put it this way: the room I had wasn't *filthy*. There weren't visible colonies of... anything, thank goodness. The sheets were *mostly* clean, though I'm pretty sure I saw a phantom hair or two. The bathroom... well, the shower worked. The water pressure wasn’t going to win any awards, but, hey, lukewarm water is better than no water after a day of screaming at a ref. So yeah, I'd go with "lived-in." Bring your own disinfectant wipes if you're a germaphobe. Consider yourself warned.
3. What about the "Syariah" aspect? Is it *actually* strict?
Okay, this is important. It's a Syariah hotel, so you will not be drinking alcohol or bringing the wrong kind of company, if you know what I mean. It's not a party place. The people are all incredibly respectful. You're there. They know. You know. There could be a few things related. But it did seem authentic. The staff were helpful, even if they spoke minimal English. This might be perfect depending on what you need!
4. The Location, Location, Location...Is it *really* close to the stadium? Like, can I practically roll out of bed and onto the pitch?
YES! This is the winning feature! It's seriously close. Like, a 5-minute walk. Maybe less if you're super eager to get to the game (that was me). I could practically hear the roar of the crowd from my room. Which was, admittedly, a bit annoying when I was trying to sleep after the match. (We lost. Don't ask.) But the location is a massive win. You’re right there! And that's priceless, when you just want to get back to your room after all the excitement! If you're a fan of football (soccer), then the location *alone* might sway it for you.
5. What's the Wi-Fi like? Because I *need* to upload my selfie with the stadium in the background. Priorities, people!
The Wi-Fi is... existant. It exists. That's about the best I can say. It’s not winning any speed awards! It gets the job done eventually. It *might* take a few tries to upload that selfie. (Pro Tip: Try to do it during the quiet moments when the stadium crowd is not busy using it). Prepare for some buffering. Be patient. It's an adventure!
6. Is there breakfast? And is it… edible?
Okay, breakfast. Here we have a tricky one. Breakfast *was* included. In theory. In reality? It was a VERY basic nasi lemak (rice cooked in coconut milk). I’m not a breakfast person anyway. But the coffee was lukewarm. Again. It filled a hole, but don't go expecting a gourmet experience. Eat before you go.
7. Any other quirks or things I should know? Any "inside scoops"?
Okay, here's a random observation: the elevator. It's… small. Let's just say if you're claustrophobic, take the stairs. The stairs are fine. Also, pack earplugs if you're a light sleeper. Between the occasional stadium noise and… other noises (neighbor's snoring, maybe?), they'll be a lifesaver. Overall, despite some flaws, it's manageable. Also, be prepared for the language barrier, and have translation apps on hand!
8. So, would you stay there again? Be honest.
Honestly? Yeah, probably. Would I *choose* it if money was no object? Nope. Would I recommend it to my best friend? Depends on what they needed! (Near the stadium, on a budget? Absolutely.) It's not fancy, it's not flashy, but it does the job. And sometimes, that's all you need. Plus, that location! Seriously. The location… is key! I'm still thinking about if it's the place for *me* again. Maybe!
