We booked our hotel here – https://goo.gl/oPNpe3
Adventures in Batam + the best place to stay in Batam
We also went to Nagoya shopping mall and Mega Mall where watching a movie is very cheap 🙂
From what we saw, there were no free hotel shuttle buses providing pick-up from the Batam Ferry Terminal, maybe it has something to do with the taxi business there (we could be wrong). Uber and Grab is also useless unless you book a ride from a destination where there are no taxi group posts.
We stayed at Best Western Premier Panbil which is around 7-8kms away from the Ferry terminal, taxi charged us 750k Rupiah
The hotel provides a free shuttle to nagoya and megamall shopping center.
Tips:
1. Take the Sindo ferry if you are a ntuc member, they offer free fares if you bring the membership card with you (tax paid separately)
2. Megamall which was very nice and comparable to SG malls is connected to the ferry terminal via covered bridge pathway. Bridge entrance is at level 2 beside the departure gate
3. Be mindful of the food prices especially in the hotel, most of the stated price excludes the GST and service charge which is approx 21% of the total bill.
