You will have to make do with those 1 star or 2 star's not-so-good hotels or simply take a 4 star hotel room with a not-so-good room. Or get a fairly good hotel with rooms people dont like to stay in. Most time,even those were taken up during peak season.

Good hotels where there are most likely no room :

1. Formosa

2. Utama

3. Biz

4. Hana

5 Hans Inn

6. Da Vienna

7. Lovinna Inn Nagoya

8. Dju Dju Hotel

9. Hotel 18

10. Lai Lai Hotel

...etc etc and some other 2 star and 3 star hotel around them.

Fairly good hotels that are more likely to have room available...hehehe...

Another one not stated on above pics will be Amir Hotel at Harbour Bay,hehehe...and the above mentioned hotel prices are doubled or tripled.

With peak season, going for the hotel's free breakfast in the morning will be like buying 4D in Sillypore during CNY 3rd day,hehehe...booking joint will mark up almost double price,massage girls will double their special service price (or wont do at all) becos they already serve more than one customer that day and most would also be tired dued to overwork...service level almost definitely wont be fantastic unless you knew the indo girls in person or have been a regular with them before.

One reason why i choose not to go Batam during ultra peak season and have all along been sourcing for non-crowded places during CNY time (another ultra peak season too). I booked my hotel rooms about 4 months in advance when i go Batam,hehehe...

Just sharing.

Good mention... You might wish to add Nasa hotel too,hehehe...

I am not there now...but if i am in Batam and couldnt find my top 10 favourite hotels during an ultra peak season,i might just go for Sinar Bulan, Indorasa, Newton hotel and M1 hotel,hehehe...at least i cut out the family-trip tourist competition.

Automated clearance is packed. Yahoo!! No hotel to stay, sleep on the side walk like what the ahneh did during CNY. It's gonna be a cold night.

Sinar Bulan. Run down hotel. Laksamana better choice, imo.

Considering the average age of Chili Bar girls, well seasoned to say the least, seeing them dressed as schoolgirls is a bit odd....
