My friends who visit Batam have a hard time looking for alcoholic drinks to bring back to rooms a few times,so most time now, they buy back in big numbers from major big supermarket (eg Hyper mart). But imagine,they walk for 5 mins from Nagoya Hill Mall,sweat all the way carrying a carton of beer,hehehe...its considered an inconvenient from my perspective.

Good sales strategy,just have to be a bit careful in case the authority wish to play the "red packet game",hehehe....

Thanks for updating (the part you say member for 10% off)...hehehe...i still keep the hotel 18 brochure you posted some time ago as reference.

Anyway,the breakfast isnt fantastic,i can forgo it any time. (nearby got some good food store which isnt expensive too)

Cheers!

I happened to have stayed in the hotels named here and my order of preference would be

- Hana Hotel
- Holiday Hotel (stayed there before their renovation recently, room quality could be different now)
- Lovinna Inn
- Hotel 18
- Indorasa

Are you aware that Hotel 18 got hot water issue when late in the night? I rather pay 50k more to have guaranteed hot water than to have cold shower. Just saying... It's easy to compare base on price. But unless you stayed on the hotel before, you won't know of issue like no hot water at night.

Thank you for the recommendations. Very helpful.

I'm planning for a 1 day trip with my fb for a massage session, light shopping and a quickie or 2 before heading back to sg in the evening thus my humble request for hotels with transit/hourly rates near nagoya mall.

I don't mind paying 20odd bucks for a couple of hours or so as long as it's close to the mall and easy to find.

Thanks again for the list. Appreciate it greatly

Point noted.

Just like your pet peeves is about roaches in rooms, mine is about hot water, or rather the lack of. Most FL will have no issue with no hot water though, as a lot of their own rental room don't come with air con or water heater. How fortunate we are in Singapore that these 2 amenities are taken for granted.

Take a look at room stay in Nagoya Mall. It's 250k for 1 night and room cleaniness is tip top. No worries of no hot water too.

As stated will need the room only for a couple of hours (3 at most) during the day before heading back to sg in the evening. So hot water issue is not a deal breaker for me. What matters (for me at least) is a clean comfy bed and a working aircon.

A quick research from ur list shows Indorasa as the nearest but bro nono encounter with roaches put me off

The next nearest is lovina inn. Their pics from agoda also not bad. Will consider that in my plan. Any idea their hourly rates?

[PowerBenz]

Any bros here or newbie here wanna join me to batam on 15-17 sept?? Or any bros would like to link up there for a drink??

Another hotel to consider for transit rate - City Central Hotel. I only stay in their deluxe room, rate is 200k for 3 hours. They have smaller superior room but I'm not sure if the rate. It's just behind Lovinna Inn, so also pretty neat to Nagoya Hill Mall. "Benefit" of staying at this hotel is if you are limited in Bahasa Indo, they have a few Chinese girls at their counter. Quite cute ones too.

Guess most hotels will have some sort of transit rate if you ask. No point leaving unsold rooms remain unsold...

Less than 50 steps away,already got a coffee shop selling better food,so can save the 20k rupiah.

i agreed with your recommendation ,here's more info on the hotel in case anyone looking for it.

Its right inside Nagoya Hill Mall,at the floor where the food court is located.

(no taxi driver can miss Nagoya Hill Mall,hehehe...)

Very basic simple room,at least its secured enough for a couple of hours,no rush. Step inside in the morning and leaves during the night, only 250k rupiah,hehehe...even 200k rupiah is possible since not gonna be staying overnight.

Cheers!

Take note that there are 3 Lovinna hotel in Batam,the one we were taking about is at about 10 o'clock opposite and facing formosa hotel,the name is call Lovinna Nagoya in full. You really dont wish to be brought to the wrong hotel or be booking the wrong one,hehehe... (double check with the mapping if there is one to make sure you didnt look at the wrong one)

If i dont remember wrong,the other 2 Lovinna is nearer to Batam center area and BCS Mall area. Hope you are not looking at the wrong one. Its just like Harmoni hotel,some here mixed up between Harmoni suite,Harmony Hotel and Harmoni One.

Just a note.

[AADD]

hmm regarding hotel around 200k~

i don't see anyone commenting about budget hotel around lovina inn.

iirc there's like hotel djuju,rezeki,instar and nagoyainn? are they not recommended?

1. Link's KTV
2. MM Massage

4. JV Happy 8
5. Sri Kandy
6. Hawaii KTV (ex. Dolly/Shellina)
7. Kupu Kupu Massage (ex. Tulip Massage)

Note : JV Happy 8,Sri Kandy, Links , Kupukupu and Bunga were partnered shops.

U din't jus divide em into category of new/old...u aso hv jus divide em into more expensive & more cheaper.

Newer bking joints tends 2 b mre expensive partly cos they're being monopolized by same group. Usually is minimum 800k & mani of em is minimum 1 jt...

among the 7 joint abv,my ownself onli see one reli good 1 & one is abv average.

2. Memory KTV
3. Orchid KTV (very low number of girls)
4. Permata Indah KTV (New Berry + Indah 2 merged)
5. Moonlight Massage (very low number of girls)
6. ????
7. ???? (did i miss out any others?)

Note : Permata Indah and MM were partnered shops.

Looks like the old time booking joints are losing the game...

Older bking joint is cheaper bcs they try to clear off ALL their stocks of gers as much as possible daily. 1 more ger bk out is 1 more xtra $ cums in. So tends 2 b lower price.

surprisingly can stil get 600k ovrnite gers here. Near ending last year i tink 500k stil can get lei. Nw i dn't knw...

tere's aso 2 good joints in these old joints. Good & cheap.

Bro any soapy or massage with special to intro?

[SheldonXX]

Was in Batam on Sunday. Took 1 pm ferry to Batam Centre. Changed $100 at 9,810. Had lunch at Bento Tei. 146k for Agedashi tofu, Chawamusi, bento and soda fruit drink. Nice lunch at affordable rate.

By the way, return ferry was all full and Majestic opened another extra trip.

Had 2 hours massage at Bridge. Had a milf who let me get a bit freedom at autoroam. Maybe can get something next visit. Had dinner at roadside store near Lucky Plaza. After that, felt horny from the Bridge Massage sessions. Fired up my WeChat. Short listed 2 FL, 1 19 year old at 500k and 1 25 year old at 400k. Proceed for the 400k one. Knn. Picture ia quite sexy, but once i reached her hotel, i suspected is Ah Kwa. Immediately belakang pusing and proceed to 19 year old room at Prima Asia Hotel.

When pass by the warung beside the canal, saw 1 23 year old and She was baiting me for short time. Half way to Prima Asia Hotel, decided to video call the 19 year old FL but turned out to be baby hippo.

Walk back to the 23 year old FL. Took up her offer of 400k inclusive of room at Ah Gung hotel. Learned that she fl'ed at Bunga at times. BO at 1.2 juta. Boobs at small B , but after licking her to come, she was ok with bbbj. Very shiok. After that, start banging her. First missionary, then doggy. Came with her back in missionary but hugging me tight.

Wash up feeling satisfied. Got her number and took a cab to Batam Centre for my ferry home. Inclusive of ferry ticket (i got mine at discount), less than $100 for this day trip.

Just my 2k Rp.

Nothing to learn. But if feel entertaining, can up my point?
