Batam 1 Hotel

The water pressure was the best part for me. The room was clean and a reasonable size for the price. There’s a river or drainage channel beside the hotel that smells a little, but with the window closed I couldn’t smell it. Great location, too.

The food was really delicious, and the rooms were comfortable. It’s also close to Nagoya hill and the prices are affordable. Massage here costs less than outside, so it’s worth trying. The bar was the weak point, with very few drink choices, especially no beer or cocktails. I’d stay here again on another visit.

The room was dusty when I arrived, and I had to wipe down all the surfaces myself. Housekeeping clearly wasn’t up to standard. The view from the window is of a terribly polluted, foul-smelling stream. The shower head is fixed, which can be inconvenient. It’s fine for a short stay.

The hotel is within walking distance of Nagoya Hill Mall and places to eat, and there’s a coffee shop with local food plus a spa inside if you don’t want to head out. I found the stay comfortable and enjoyable, and the mattress worked well for me. The TV and Wi-Fi signal were good, too. The room was spacious enough for me, though some people might find it small. It was tidy and clean overall, but there were a few mold spots in the bathroom. The window faces a large drain or canal, and the room has a basic setup, with hangers but no wardrobe, mini fridge, or safe. Traffic noise from the busy road was acceptable. The bathroom is narrow, with no shower curtain, so everything gets wet. The fixed shower head is awkward to adjust, and the wash basin felt too small. Water pressure in both the shower and basin was strong.
