Alinson Boutique Resident Batam

The in-room kitchens are a real plus, and the furniture, equipment, and utensils are all good quality. Fotosintesa food shop brings a lively feel to the hotel, though it'd be nice if residents got a discount there. The rooms are too dim and could use more white lights. A laundry service or self-service washing room would help too. Breakfast is free, with coffee, tea, bread, and butter, but it needs improvement. That basic spread feels at odds with the healthy food offered by the restaurant Fotosintesa on the same premises. They could work together to serve lemon-ginger-honey water, a fruit bowl, and chickpea pancakes with natural syrup for a fat-free, grain-free breakfast.

The restaurant and bar were closed during Covid, which I can understand, but a heads-up would've been nice. I was also disappointed that they wouldn't honor the breakfast included in my online booking. And the pool was dirty.

Big rooms with a kitchenette and a good pool surrounded by gardens. It's quiet but still well located, and seems well worth a try.

The room is spacious, the air feels clean, and the pool is fresh. Having our own kitchen added to the luxurious staycation feel, almost like we had a private hotel.
