It was so centralized. 1 minute beside the ferry terminal and 1 minute in front of the shopping mall.
However it is about 20-30 minutes away to the Nagoya shopping mll, they have cheap fake branded bags like Louis Vuitton , prada and food. Nothing much, cheap hair cut ,cheap spa, massage.

The hotel was good, spacious and we had one facing the sea view, very beautiful, small pool with those cosy rounded rattan baskets that allow 3-4 people to sit inside, but it was not located strategically. Right infront of the breakfast area, was the swimming pool which will allow all eyes to prey on you .

Most of all it is value for money.
Taxi cost about 8 dollars to the main shopping area. One way.
They have famous ayam penet at the Nagoya hill mall too on level 1.
Breakfast was Indonesian food. It is rather ok.
Dinner grill was nice, but a little dark with a movie screening outside at night.
Hotel staff were all very very helpful.
The manager tevan was very very nice and helpful.

When you arrived at Batam, you can see the cheery hotel from the ferry terminal. It's that near, only 5 mins walk! The colourful building is a welcome sight indeed.
Loved the bright and cheery reception and the bright and cheery room! The room is spacious, enough space for a third single bed. Our room faced the pool and the waterfront, which was really nice. You can watch the ferries arriving at the terminal!
Walking distance to MegaMall, which is really convenient for food and shopping.
Breakfast was ok, not very impressive but sufficed.
Pool is small and the water very cold, as it doesnt get any sun at all.
Overall a pleasant experience and I would come back if I want to stay near MegaMall.

It was newly built when I stayed there last November (I had to tick December in the options bcuz they only had backdated til then), almost over a year ago, with my partner. 3 days proved to be too short a time to be spent lazing in the hotel room. That's for sure.

On the day of our arrival, we were told to make a refundable deposit of 50 SGD at the check in counter. We weren't told beforehand, but we were prepared with extra cash, so thank God for that. The money was returned to us at the end of our stay, if that's what you guys were wondering.

Now. The rooms. We got the double deluxe, so the layout is like Singapore's Hotel Re!, for those who knows. Everything is orange, as is
their theme.

They've got an infinity pool where one can dine by while admiring the ocean.

Their english needs improving though. There
were posters with a number of grammatical and spelling mistakes which one cannot simply ignore. I think this was the only turn off I found within the grounds. I should actually applaud one particular lady who was then in charge of breakfast. She returned my smartphone to me just as I left the building for a shopping spree. She could have chosen to keep it instead, yet she was honest. THANK YOU, whoever you are!

Now on to efficiency. It IS situated just a stone's throw away from the ferry terminal, and also Mega Mall shopping Centre (Damn, it's awesome that you can smoke anywhere you want to). However, since the area is still undergoing changes to becoming a business sector of Batam, there is no entertainment nor any life nearby. There are pushcarts at night which sells glorious cheap satays, though - a life saver when you wanna just go down from your hotel room to get something local to munch on while flipping the cable tv. Speaking of which, they show Singapore channels as well.

Jump into a cab with the help of the security (he takes care of those things too) at the lobby. He will write you a receipt to show to the driver, since the taxis aren't metered. i.e a trip up to Nagoya Hills costs atleast 60 000 RP. What you should really do, apart from visiting the Miniature Park, zipping down the flying fox or having the must eat seafood beside the cake lapis factory, is to check out the 7 bridges which links all of Batam's tiny little islands together. All the good photos can be shot right there! And while you're at it, you could rent a bicycle and burn off some calories the fun way, right on the dirt. Explore the forest the local way!

Now go pack your luggage and head off to this wonderful place! Much better than Harris Resort, if you ask me!

I stayed in room number 807 on 5th November 2012 with my father. First thing first, the receptionist was a bit slow, I think they hired non-professional person as a receptionist. Although the room was spacious and clean, the air conditioner did not work well, when I set it to 21 degree it suddenly turned off. When it set below 20, the room became too cold. Moreover the environment was a nightmare! Seriously... I heard sounds like 'ngg nggggg nggg' all night long. How can you sleep in that situation??? Next, the free internet... A bit slow for me. Rate was not cheap though, it cost about USD $55 dollar per night without breakfast. The other hotels gave lower price than this. I think this is the first and the last time for me.
