Its a pretty good hotel (no doubts at all),i used to stay there once at their Executive room (i think they call it junior suite). I think most hotel rental sites no longer has that room today anymore. Maybe becos they only have one such room,hence they no longer put it up for rental.

The rooms were also renovated and now provide lifts,hehehe....but in a way,their room prices is up too (as much as some 3 star hotel).
I will choose holiday hotel than Lovinna Nagoya hotel today.

A friend stayed there before,used to be relative quite good but over time,the quality of room deteriorate due to lack of maintenance. The good thing is,they now have wifi...which they didnt have when they 1st started.

Like i say earlier,the rooms were pretty rundown when i 1st stayed there few years ago. But for a few hours,i guess its not an issue for 100k rupiah tho. No problem on their hot water,only problem for me is...cockroaches,hehehe...

I think not every of their room has no hot water at night,just have to get the right room that has. Anyway,like you mentioned earlier,if its meant for a couple of hours,i guess i could forego the part w/o hot water during the day (of course,i am saying this base on my own comfortability level and not others).

Thank you for sharing,as we all chip in to share along...readers will get to understand better each respective hotel's pros and cons hence help them make the right choice of what suits them most. Most i knew do not simply compare hotels base solely on prices,i guess...but also on comfortability,service standard, accessibility, convenience etc etc.
My message which i wish to put across is simple,standing from a Batam noob's perspective, if i wish to grab a transit hotel base on hourly rate,i would like to check and know if their hourly rate versus overnight rate,which is more of a better value. If the difference isnt too far apart,then the rest would be more onto what suits me most.
Best hotel in Batam is what suit me most.
Just like in the entire Batam,i can only find 4 rooms that best suit me and these 4 rooms were all in Formosa Hotel (used to be 5,now reduced to 4,haiz...and not easy to book now).
Cheers!
