I wasn't looking at hotel carpets, near shopping malls hotel nor good breakfast serving hotels.
1. So far i can't find a hotel that has 24 hours Room service restaurant.
2. So far i cannot find hotel in house massage with special service that closes at 1am (last order 12am tho).
3. So far cannot find KTV in a hotel that has PRC girls, Thai Girls & Vietnam girls altogether. And yet doubles itself like a booking joint.
If anyone knows where Batam got the above mentioned 3 in a hotel, please share (or can PM me too) thank you,hehehe....more importantly, the above 3 points hopefully can be just 1 min or less away from my hotel room i am in.
Anyway, if you have pass the hotel by during your recent trip, you might have seen Formosa is being torn down...
About time to have a closure with Formosa,bro.
It's been a very long time since i visit Nagoya Hill mall area (& i just did so few days ago tho).
My suggestion/s, be open to 2 star hotels, especially those new ones. Be open to 3 star hotels without carpeting, without close proximity to shopping malls, without good breakfast.
I slash them out of my list as they are all good to have but not exactly necessities in my trip/s & i "create" the things i truly need while in Batam (without knowing their language, without using whatsapp, wechat or the likes of it & using minimum resources, eg money...hehehe...).
There is always solution/s for every stumbling block.

Even tho i would recommend my closer friend/s BCH & Gideon but i am surprise you didn't pick Hotel 89....hmm....
Is it because i didn't mention it here?
Joking...
This is a hotel that used to be recommend by Formosa managers & staffs when they were full.
