Had an amazing stay at Grand Mercure Batam Centre! We stayed at the Deluxe King Room with City View and requested for a higher floor, which they did kindly provide. The best part of the stay was most definitely the service. Everyone was really lovely and friendly, and any requests we had didn't go unheard. Even the security guards were friendly and helpful, assisting my partner to cross the road across the hotel by directing some of the traffic at one point. The breakfast we opted to try on multiple days of our stay was also overally pretty nice, there could be more options but the options that we did have were yummy and refilled often even on busy days. They have a very diverse and large selection of juices, teas, milk and even a coffee machine. Even the water was infused water which was very refreshing. The desserts and bread selection really stand out as well because of the large variety they had! There are even fresh fruits of various kinds beyond the typical hotel breakfast fruits. Highly recommend trying out the hotel breakfast at least once during a stay there. The only negative feedback we had is probably that we noticed some scratches on the furniture, parts of the wall behind the headboard had markings/scratches and had peeled. These were very small details that were on some of the other furniture or walls as well. While they weren't serious and didn't bother us, we hope that the hotel management will continue to maintain and lookout for these small details on the property once in a while. Even with that, it was a small matter as everything worked well and was really clean. It was an amazing stay! They also provide a shuttle bus service with 2 timings to Mega Mall Batam. However, One Batam Mall is also a 10min walk away and is fairly easy to navigate to/walk due to a pedestrian sidewalk on one side of the hotel entrance. Indomaret is also nearby for buying water; the hotel provides 4 glass bottles of water daily, it wasn't enough for us but we did not want to constantly bother the staff to be providing water. I would say that a water dispenser on certain floors would improve the sustainability efforts and reduce the need for requesting glass bottles from the staff or purchasing water outside. All that aside, we hope to stay again and can't wait to see Grand Mercure Batam continue to establish its place in the hotel industry of Batam!

Instantly one of my new favourite hotels in Batam. Convenient location in Kampung Pelita area, opposite Aston Hotel and Residences and 9 minutes walk to Nagoya Hill Mall, 20 minutes walk maximum to GoGo Supermarket in Bengkong. Amazing place nearby, Kobie Coffee and Ruma Pelita - easily a 5/5 café and cultural / creative experience. Staff are lovely, gracious, efficient, with excellent language skills. Professional but friendly and welcoming. Public areas are modern, fresh, tranquil and very well maintained. Lots of thoughtful little touches throughout. Standard rooms are compact but well appointed, very clean, comfortable. Nice linens. Good sleep. But don't expect any views from the windows. Like the pool area. Breakfast buffet is highly recommended.

I really enjoyed my stay here at Batam view. The seaview is amazing. There is an actual beach to relax and even swim unlike the other 3 hotels and resorts here in Nongsa. This resort surrounding is beautiful. I enjoy taking photos around this place. Breakfast was average. Staffs are polite and helpful. Always greeting and serve with a smile. Highly recommended for those who prefer beach resort accommodation.

Nice cozy and very clean room… book the superior room and there’s lots of space. It literally at the 20th floor and the view of the town was fascinating. The lobby staff served with a smile and they can accommodate to your special request.. This hotel are well recommended.

Studio Apartment
Anonymous UserGood service and location, but room condition and pre-booking transparency need improvement We booked two different room types: a one-bedroom unit with living room and a Studio. First, the positives. The service team was responsive and helpful through WhatsApp. The standard check-in was 3:00 PM, but when we asked at around 1:30 PM whether early check-in was possible, they managed to let us check in at approximately 1:45 PM. We genuinely appreciated this. The location was good and the property itself has good potential. Unfortunately, the condition of the units did not quite match what we expected for the price paid. The one-bedroom + living room unit had an unpleasant smell, visible pre-existing damage to the decorative wall below the TV and other wall maintenance issues. The bedroom door also felt unusually thin and lightweight, affecting the sense of privacy and sound insulation. The Studio unit had no usable curtain covering the large glass window/balcony door beside the bed, affecting privacy and rest. We later found what appeared to be the curtain stored in a drawer, but the required holding bar was missing so we could not reinstall it. We also found broken plastic components stored in a kitchen cupboard. More importantly, the entrance-door strike plate was loose and the surrounding frame showed cracking. We sometimes had to manually press the strike plate into position in order to properly close and lock the door. These appeared to be pre-existing maintenance issues. Another surprise was that detailed House Rules were only provided through WhatsApp on the day of check-in. These included no daily housekeeping, no replacement of towels/linen/amenities during the stay, and a requirement for guests to dispose of their own rubbish before checkout. We understand that an apartment/residence operates differently from a full-service hotel, and we do not expect 5-star hotel service. However, important service conditions should be clearly disclosed before booking and payment so travellers can make an informed choice. Likewise, an apartment does not need to be perfect. Cosmetic wear can be acceptable. But known defects or missed maintenance should ideally be addressed before check-in or communicated to the guest beforehand, particularly when they affect privacy, security or normal use of the room. As travellers, we also do not expect to become room inspectors immediately after arrival, photographing every existing scratch, damaged wall or fitting simply to establish that we did not cause it. For the price paid, the condition unfortunately felt below some less expensive inns/hotels we have previously stayed in. This is not a bad property. The location is good, the service team was responsive, and with better maintenance and pre-arrival quality control it could be a very nice place to stay. Our main disappointment was the loss of informed choice. Had we known the actual condition and service arrangements beforehand, we could have accepted them, requested another available unit, or chosen different accommodation before arriving. Overall: good service, good location and good potential, but room maintenance, quality control and transparency before booking need improvement.
