Woah! Pretty high price for Harmoni...

Thx for the info,am very much apprciated. I usually go on weekdays,so i guess most hotels will have vacancy,hehehe...next time got chance must take the photo of the specky lady and post it here,but it will be abt 3 trips later before i venture that far.

I advance booked Novotel Hotel for 2 Night at $68.72 per Room (No Breakfast, felt all of them pretty Standard, not nice & at the same time can save that $30) I booked through Accor. That's $30 for breakfast, can be use for covering Taxi fares & Food.

Mecure Hotel also a good choice, used to stay at that Hotel 2 yrs back. These 2 Hotels best advance book through Accor. Usually will have major discount compare to Agoda or other hotels booking website.
Yes,i understand i am taking a risk if i don't secure a room when i reach batam.

I plan to book hotel room directly from the hotel itself cos the room i am after are rooms not advertised in any of the websites as there are only 4 of such rooms available. It's called Deluxe business suite and the last time i check,price are a little higher cos of the facilities in the room,hehehe...

Where did u book this Novotel Hotel from,mind if i ask? Cos 2 nights for $68.72 per room is pretty cheap,even if it's without breakfast.

Bro Av_lover,you have always given me good advise,my most sincere thx to you.
