My wife and I just came back from batam and we had stay this hotel for 1 night. I have to agree with all the reviews , the room is really small and it's not clean. The bathroom is full of water mark and hairs. The bed was so hard, you will easily froget about you laid on the mattress. you can also see the
black mark on the bed sheet and
pillows. TV is Led however the
channels were not good selections and not very clear. And best part was the hot water boiled machine, it's without the cover, But it's still working...the cups and glasses in the room are duty. Two of us only check in after 530pm and all amenities in the room are still only for one person ...
Breakfast and dinner are incl in our package. So we went down to
the cafe for our dinner around
0630pm after check in. The whole
restaurant only two guests which are my wife and I. I asked the
waiter what's our menu for tonight.
He answer " only fried rice, sir". I
know this was not for the hotel to
decide it's our travel agent who paid
And arranged for this. I also told the waiter just serve us one protion of fried rice to share and we will order other dishes from the menu.
However, two protion of fried rice arrived we have to repeat ourself to the same waiter and just feel a little bit bad when the food going to be waste.
The hotel location is ok to me. There are two big shopping mall nearby around 5 to 10 mins walk. But please be careful when you want to cross the road. There is no teffic light so the cars and motorbike won't stop and let you walk throught first.
We went to the SPA center which on the second level of the hotel. RB535,000 for 150min for two
people I think it's quite good price. Overall the treatment was not bad, my wife and I both have sleep short while when doing the facial. However before we start the whole thing you can feel the two staff are not very happy and willing to do for us maybe it's because we step in the SPA after 0930pm and we still chosen the 2 and half hour package.
On the next day morning , we went for breakfast before check out. For me I feel the breakfast the hotel
offer is good enough. Fruit, cereal, breads, juices, fried noodle and rice,
porridge, hot dishes and live station
for eggs with sausages and bacons.
My wife and I had enjoyed breakfast .however we notice something which can be improve like the cereal only served with normal milk should have skim or low fat milk. The toast machine is not use-friendly.the woste part was when I
finish toast my bread and I wants to
take some jam, I saw a big fly was
inside the kaya jam... I know it's
not someone put it inside there but
it's just make me lost my appeti
immditeitly.
Frankly I know the hotel shall be very much at this standard before I arrive or should I said even when I
confirmed the package with my
travel agent. So I didn't feel
surprise or disspoint. But for
whoever is plan for a free and easy
trip to batam, I will suggest you
avoid this place. To me hotel is the
most important things during my oversea holidays, sadly there is no mardrian oriental in batam yet but there must some nice hotel in the island already so pls try harder...
