I had a short trip to Batam last week and stay at The Hills Hotel. We are arrived at the hotel around 1 PM and can made early check in (without any charge!). The check in-out process was very quick and simple. I didn't have any expectation about the hotel ever since it's only 3 stars (cmiiw) and an old hotel. From the pics provided by the hotel, it looks okay. But turned out it was beyond amazing! I got non smoking room & it doesn't have bad smell at all! The bathroom was clean and the bedroom also very clean and tidy. The water heater working very well both for the shower & the wastafel. There's also a hair dryer attached in the bathroom. Plus, the AC was super cold! hahaha even a 4stars hotel sometimes doesn't have this point :') The hotel location was very strategic, there's a cafe connected with the lobby (Spice Cafe) and Warkop Agam right next to them. The cafe turned out had good coffee and tasty meals, with affordable price of course. In front of the hotel there is Nagoya Hill, that could easily access by walk. Also Harbour Bay only 3KM away from the hotel. Every floor have a bit different design from what I saw. The hotel also have smoking room hehe The only thing I missed was the view from my room, it was only the building behind the hotel not the highway/Nagoya Hill. But that's absolutely fine! :) It was my first time visited Batam and I had a good memories while staying at The Hills Batam. Will come back to The Hills again if I come to visit Batam and recommend it to everyone! 🫶🏻
