Only few set back is, their shuttle service do not reach DC mall. And they drop you off, & don't pick you back up, hehehe...

Note, free shuttle service is a good option to travel in Batam too.
Thanks for recommendation of hotel 89, I will give it a try if I am able to stay longer in Batam the next trip.

The exciting part not so much on the free shuttle service hehe, but more about the in-house massage service and the above average breakfast..

Location still acceptable although not as near to the BCS mall but at least within walking distance.

In fact hotel 89 location is even nearer to DC mall area and is accessible by walking. From hotel 89 cross the road walk the small lane pass the residential area directly leads to DC mall in 750m by 10 minutes walk according to goggle map.

Like one samster ever said before, could not remember who liao

There is no all lousy and no all good situation.

Everything sure have pros and cons

Because i takes only porridge for breakfast, well... not going to repeat about my unimportant food factor,hehehe... why porridge only is because i have been taking tons of fried, grill BBQ food during lunch, dinner & sometime even supper, hence porridge breakfast is relatively important to me in Batam.
Yes, I encountered most of the 3 star hotel or above will serve porridge during breakfast time but not 2 star hotel like city central, hana, paragon, etc.

Agreed, breakfast with porridge is a must for me too...
