Santika Hotels in Batam Kota

Very close to Batam centre Ferry terminal and walking distance to mall but at night be careful of big holes in the pavement whilst walking. Outlook of hotel looks new and clean. But inside hotel smells like toilet air freshener. Inside room smoke smell. Tried calling front desk to request if have non smoking room but no one pick up call so I just left it since only 2 nights. But didn’t enjoy going back to sleep…. Luckily I brought essential oil so I tried wiping down the floor and cleaning the room to freshen up… tried opening the window to air the room but sewage smell is strong outside…. Went to breakfast at 9am and food very empty… selection a lot but not refilled. Made do with it and just ate some rice and meat.. The price is really cheap so cannot expect too much I guess. Would not return definitely. Grab taxi is cheap there and we enjoyed the laid back club and cafe hopping for the 2 days we are there.
