It's nice hotel with good architect.Good location nearby ferry terminal and megamall. But the swimming pool is not well maintained,it was very dirty we couldn't even dip out feet in the pool.The breakfast was too simple,not much choice to eat.
When I saw the facilities they are having at Agoda website, it clearly states Spa, Cub 23 and Swimming pool. Guess what. Only the swimming pool is operational. What about the Club 23 and Spa? Well the housekeeper told me, it is not operational due to "no business". If it's "no business" at least have the decency to erase that from the website. This is purely misleading. Our room is basic room and they can't even give us a room with window. I stayed in Room 319 by the way from 26 Oct to 28 Oct. Exterior is super nice and photo taking worthy. With all the statues of Egyptian style. Oh did I mentioned, they do have a bar. Yes they do, a bleak looking bar. They even have a stage with drums on it but that's it, no live band or performance. What I feel okay with is the hotel have 3 pool table which 1 pool table is not enough balls. A dart board. And a soccer arcade table without the ball. The hotel is actually close to Batam Centre Ferry Terminal (5 mins by Grabcar). So strategically, the location is good. Now let's talk about the staffs. The Front Office staff is very presentable, sweet and helpful to give out information about locations of shopping and stuffs. The housekeeping staffs are always jovial, helpful and always smiling whenever they see guests. A big compliment to Andy from the Housekeeping department for helping me externally on the information about the island. Mind you, he is willing to go extra mile to serve you. Very helpful guys. Look for him on your holiday in this hotel. Overall, we are okay with this hotel only that we felt a bit cheated for the advertisements (Spa and Club 23).…
I would rather not recommend this hotel. A budget hotel is not a reason for its standard as I’ve been to many budget hotels and they are much better! I’ve booked 3 different room types, the Standard, the Superior and their Junior Suite. All the rooms come with free foul smell. The bed-sheets and blankets were stained. None of our toilet locks work, it’s all broken. The air-con in the rooms are like heater. The floor is sticky and dirty. There are mosquitoes in the surroundings including inside the rooms. I count myself lucky that the water-heater was still in working condition. I’m attracted by the look of the swimming pool online, but it was just another disappointment. The water is so dirty with dried leaves, dead flies and some substance that looks like human’s spit floating on the water. The breakfast was a disaster as food ran out faster than their preparations. I saw some guests purchase street food to eat instead. This is a real joke! The only compliment I have for them is their staff, they are helpful and polite although they don’t speak good English. However, I will not come back to this hotel again.…
Spend a night there in this classy and well-decorated hotel at a reasonable price for a one night stay. The other facilities within are also quite handy and well used for bonding like the pool table and dart area.
Well love the eqypt style for all around the hotel. Look very curious about it at all. Convenience location and easy access for any transport especially public car. Staff very friendly and helpfull. Price is ok and worth for it !!!
My friends and I picked this hotel on our dive trip to Batam. The hotel exterior is quirky and the interior is a bit dark to my liking. Our room was located in the next building where we had to cross a connecting "bridge" from the lobby building. Basically there was nothing around the area and it would have been better if there was a convenience store or vending machines within the hotel area. What I didn't like the most was the bathroom; dirty, hot water didn't work, and toilet didn't flush well.
Exterior is designed with the concept of Egyptian theme and it looks fantastic especially in the night time. Interior [hotel reception, lobby, corridors on each floor and restaurant] also with full of Egyptian decorations. Hotel is located just 10 minutes from batam centre ferry terminal and hotel provide free transport back-and-forth to batam centre ferry terminal. There is free shuttle bus available back-and-forth to Nagoya Shopping Mall & Mega Mall. The staffs were very friendly and helpful, whenever we called them for assistance they sent someone immediately. We booked 2 standard rooms and rooms were clean. Bathroom also looked clean but it took a while to realize the reality. Taps were with rust stain and water smelled rusty as well. The water speed was not stable at all and which made the water temperature vary very quickly. Bathroom smell really very bad, cannot bear it and I think the inside drainage system is not clean. Because of bathroom floor slope is not in a good shape, the water doesn’t drain away. They have a 5 feet swimming pool and a kid’s swimming pool. It's not very dirty by definitely not very clean. Hotel have a restaurant opens until 11pm and their food tasted good. They daily breakfast buffet at the restaurant which provide rice, noodles and bread. They have a club inside the premises. Conveniently there is an Indomaret shop [07:00-23:00] located just in front of the hotel. There are taxis waiting at the entrance of the hotel.…
This is my third stay there. Over the years i notice that the hotelier has been listening customers' feedbacks and made a lot of improvements since my first visit there. My family and myself took up 4 junior suites and stayed from 22 to 23 April 2017. The newly renovated suites are very spacious with balconies. Beds are really comfortable as well all of us were well rested. Swimming pool looks gorgeous and clean. Breakfast was delicious especially the porridge and fried bee hoon. All of us had a really enjoyable stay and would definitely choose to go back when we visit Batam again. Well done Hotel 01 ! 👍🏼
+ An unique hotel located just 5 mins from ferry terminal.The room was clean, spacious, the staff where friendly and welcoming. You get what you pay for ! -Low water pressure in a bathroom faucet is an annoying problem.
Im buffled at some of the negative reviews. For me and my friends, it was an amazing stay. Firstly, it has 1 of the most interesting exterior. You can see that they truly put in effort to make this place unique and stand out from the rest of the hotel in the same vicinity, if not the whole of Batam. And i even heard from 1 of the staffs that many of the designs are handcrafted! My friends and I decided to spend abit more and stayed at those bigger rooms at the highest level. The interior is huge! Everything is clean and neatly done up. Absolutely no complains. We ended up chilling at the hotel itself after a tiring day out. And trust me, you wont be bored. They have a TVs, pool tables, darts, table soccer and most importantly, the beer is so cheap and the jugs they use are bigger than the usual ones! If you are looking for a bargain yet comfortable stay that is just 5 mins away from the ferry terminal. This hotel certainly fits the bill and the few of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay. …
