"Aston Inn Gideon Batam – Great Value Stay
Located in Nagoya, just steps from the market and Batam City Square, the hotel is surrounded by massage parlors, dining options, shops, and beauty services. The twin-bed room is spacious enough for two large suitcases, with handy amenities like toothbrushes, sandals, mineral water, and coffee/tea. Breakfast offers a wide spread — porridge, you tiao, roti prata, nasi lemak, and a live egg station. At around 60 SGD per night, it’s excellent value for the comfort and convenience provided."
"Hotel Santika offers a great location and excellent service. The staff were consistently polite, welcoming, and genuinely helpful throughout my stay.
What truly deserves special mention is their thoughtful breakfast service. Breakfast is available from 6:00am to 10:00am, but I had an early ferry at 6:00am and couldn’t make it. The staff offered a takeaway option, and the team kindly arranged to prepare my breakfast early at 5:00am. I honestly expected the request might be overlooked, but they exceeded my expectations.
To my surprise, everything was carefully packed: a box of bread and a bento set with the fried rice I requested, along with some fried fish, cutlery, and a bottle of drinking water. The attention to detail was impressive and made my morning so much easier.
It was a genuinely pleasant experience, and I’ll definitely return if I’m staying in Batam again. Thank you, Team Hotel Santika!"
"Great location right next to the ferry terminal, with a sheltered walkway that makes getting around easy even in the rain. Many eateries are nearby, and the views of Harbour Bay with Singapore in the distance are lovely. Comfortable bed, strong air conditioning, and efficient elevators."
