You can make hotel booking through internet booking.
it is value for money; the room is very clean and spacious.
staff are also very friendly & helpful.
i had my lunch & breakfast in the hotel restaurant. The food
... is fantastic & well presented. It is cheap too.
the security is well managed, all vehicle entry to the hotel entrance must pass through a security check with a big mirror going under the bottom of the car.
there is an in-house manage taxi service , always ready in front of the hotel. Taxi fare is reasonable, same as the public taxi fare. You can go to nagoya hill shopping center about 5 minutes costing around 35,000 rupiah. Or go to golden prawn seafood resturant at around 50,000 rupiah.
there is a very old chiness temple called tua pek kong buo nearby. Its quite near about 20min walk, but better take taxi. I walked to the temple on that day and the weather is hot, but i enjoyed the slow walking.
ok, i will recommend anyone wish to visit batam, try to stay in hotel mercure batam.
