Tangga Seratus is generally well-regarded by visitors for its historical significance and the rewarding views it offers of Sibolga. Many reviewers appreciate its role as a 'silent witness' to history, noting its origins as a Japanese lookout post from World War II. The climb consists of roughly 100 steps, which most find to be a quick but effective way to see the town from above. Sunset is frequently cited as the best time to visit for the beautiful scenery. However, a common point of criticism is the neglected state of the site, with several mentions of trash and a lack of maintenance. Despite the mess, visitors find the experience worthwhile for the panoramic bay views.
