Re: Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread

Thanks for the suggestion. I thought about changing hotels too but a bit troublesome to change hotels for a one week trip. I was planning to self-drive. A bit more freedom. Can use my phone gps for navigation. Will only drive during the day not at night.

I thought of Hana because of the amenities around it, I also read they have a car rental there (maybe I read wrongly). But my PRC gf wants to watch sunrise so I guess I have to book a hotel with that kind of view from the bedroom. Any recommendations?

Upped your points for the helpful suggestions.

We passed by Hana Hotel several times, the outside and the lobby looks a bit rundown and the street in front has many potholes, it may be difficult to walk back to the hotel when it rains. We did not look at the rooms.

For car rental, do a search for Salsarentcar. Avanza with driver only cost 450k per 12 hrs (+ 60k tip for the driver's lunch and dinner).
