The Finest Hotel at Samosir
A stay at the Marianna Samosir Hotel felt comfortable and classy. The breakfast buffet was delicious and the food was of high quality. The rooms were clean, with professionally maintained beds and bathrooms free of water stains, and the duvet and bedcover felt premium and clean. The room was spacious, cool, had blackout curtains, and four complimentary bottles of mineral water were provided. The swimming pool wasn't very deep but clean, though the shower area was a bit limited. The staff was responsive and friendly, making it perfect for a staycation, as there are plenty of fun activities on the hotel grounds. A small suggestion: since the island location makes access to tourist attractions somewhat remote and cars get dirty quickly, it would be perfect to include a free exterior cleaning service and a TV with Netflix or YouTube Premium, as is typical for a five-star hotel.
