I go to Holiday Hotel,turn right from their entrance at least 4 to 5 money changers, turn left from their entrance, at least 5 to 6 other money changers. Nowaday more money changers are popping up in that area.

There are 3 Harmoni group of hotels in Batam, one is called Harmoni Hotel, one is called Harmoni Suite and another called Harmoni One.

How to get to Harmoni Hotel (at Kampong Bule) to Holiday Hotel. Thats what google would tells me.


It says 7 mins but i usually take about 5 mins. Maybe i walked fast and knows the way. I took the route on the main road.

Harbour Bay Ferry terminal exchange rate on Friday the 13th was 10200/SGD.

BCS mall opposite Hai Hai Money Changer 10300/SGD, change S$200. I checked a few shops at that area, most only offer 10250/SGD. Inside BCS mall is worst, 10200/SGD as it was very crowded that day.

Opposite Formosa Hotel was 10330/SGD on Saturday,14th Dec. Changed S$200.
