shortcomings
one day there was no hot water and when asked to look into it, they said it is the main system problem and nothing can be done. Also after showering, I realize they did not put any towels ( and they remove the old towels, i.e. no towels). It only came after calling 4 times

Nice Hotel Front Desk and Lobby Staff.
Im pleased with the hotel staff as everyone is friendly and welcome you, I reached early and they managed to let me check in 1 room (i book 2) first. The room was spacious where my kids get to run around. The cons part: - Aircon was not in control, afternoon so hot but cant adjust colder. At night so cold, - Lobby no air con, so hot to be there - The towel is very old - My experience for the breakfast was terrible, I went down at 0900hr. Most of the table is not cleared. And when I request one of the senior waitress to clear including few set of the unused culterly, as the table was full of used and leftover food. The lady actually tell me those are clean. Happen the resturant manager was there, and i explain why i want it to change. The staff in the resturant was bad, never once i face this at accor hotels except Batam. - Location: I dont think it very convenient. Only 1 convenient store opp. but it near HarbourBay but not recommended to walk. - Swimming Pool access was tough, I went to check it out and decide not to bring my kids to swim as it was cold water in a hot day. and feel the water was alittle milky. Pros: - I wanted to said price, come think of it. I stayed in Novotel JKT. Clean and good only. But cheaper. - Spacious Room - Big Bed Novotel is a branding, i hope the group can do something to the hotel. I saw some renovation going on, but looking at the way they renovate. I dont think much changes can be made. Will i go back again, sorry NO.

sometimes disconnected from the wifi but when it's connected, the connection is good. love the bed as it's huge & definitely bigger than queen size. it's also located near (5 mins drive) the ferry terminal & shopping malls.

The hotel is old but kept clean and neat. Room size was just nice for my family with two kids. Quite okay for one night stay. Only negative thing was holes in the bathtub. It seems hotel needs renovation.

Nice hotel but poor facilities
This hotel is quite old and nearby to Barbour Bay seafood restaurant and other shopping malls like Nagoya Hill. The facilities as advertised is not what it seems, the gym and indoor swimming pool is old, outdated and have a bad smell inside. It was quite horrible for us. Both facilities was quite hidden, so you need to walk quite a bit from basement (G floor) through the Active Fitness to 2nd floor where you will pass by the gym first. Then take the stare to go up to 2nd floor to reach the indoor swimming pool as it just in front of The Square restaurant. Only recommend this hotel if you only want to use the room not the facilities.

Disappointed
I booked 4 Executive room explicitly requesting for 2 twin beds & 2 Queen beds but we were given 3 twin and 1 Queen. But the major disappointment was that the ventilation of the 3 out of the 4 rooms were very bad. Air Con was not working and we had to sleep in sweat for the 2 nights we were there. We feedbacked on the next morning and they sent the techinician to only 1 out of 3 rooms to have the air con checked. Even after repairing, no difference was felt. Each room was still very hot. It caused a lot of anxiety for us to stay indoor and relax, which was the main reason why we chose to stay in Novotel in the first place.

This hotel stands nowhere with the actual "Novotel" brand. The infrastructure seemed out of order. The staff lacked communication skills. Room was good overall. Wifi was fast.

A class 2 hotel service
Notice that the breasfast spread has reduced its variety of food. The receptionist attended to me was not well train. There is some " screw up" in the admin work. Need to wait for about 20 mins for my room. The even did not offer a welcome while making me to wait. The taxi to the batam center ferry point is too expensive, they should have the same rate in the market From my observations, most guest prefer to use the taxi service from external. ( reminder. Uber n Grab is now all over in batam ? ) ARRANGE TO FETCH FROM THE ARRIVAL PORT WAS NOT FULFILL

Not as great as other Novotel Hotels
Convenient location. But hotel is very dated. Buffet is ordinary too. Got a room with an apparent "sea view", where in actual fact all we could see was a slimmer of the sea! Would I go back? Very unlikely.

Convenient hotel for those shopping
Everything was fairly good, but the air-con was pretty cold at night though I've adjusted the temperature to 25 degrees. Perhaps during the CNY season, restaurant cant keep up with the food replenishment as well.

I was travelling with my family. My reservation turned out to be a mess as we were placed in room for couple instead of family of four, opposite to what we have actually booked. After negotiating, we managed to upgrade to a bigger room with a balcony as this Novotel basically do not have family room. Breakfast hamper was not bad but we cannot stand the smell from the bay. I immediately developed a sore throat and headache as the smell went into the ac and sticked around.

Friendly staff and nice hotel
This hotel is near to Harbour Bay Ferry terminal. You can even walk within like 15-20 minutes to this hotel from ferry terminal. (But it is not recommended to walk because there is no pavements or road crossings in the road :). You have to run through the incoming vehicles to cross the road.) So it is better to take a taxi. But I think you can even arrange to get a vehicle from hotel also. The hotel staff was friendly and polite. The rooms are also clean and spacious. The only problem was the view from few of the rooms we booked were not exactly beautiful. But some of the views were ok.

Hotel room was clean and comfortable. Only issue was the Aircon was not cold in the first room and when changed to another room, it was slightly colder. Room service forgot my friends order and delivered the food only after 2 hours. Already feedback to the hotel on these issues.

Beautiful Hotel/Mediocre Customer Service
The appearance of this hotel was gorgeous. However, our stay was less than comfortable. We were not treated as "welcomed" guests. Because of the service, we checked out a day early. I do not know why we were treated poorly, but we did not stick around to endure more.

Bad experience as I was only informed few hours to depature time that the room i booked is not available due to plumbing issues. Was lucky that I checked my email if not i might not have a room upon arrival. Still felt that the hotel did not take my booking as priority. I'm a frequent guest yet nothing much they can do.

Novotel Batam : Not Recommended.
We stayed for 2 nights with our 3 years old son. Pros : 1. Responsive staff from reservation and room service (for free provision of plates and spoons) 2. Free shuttle service to Nagoya Shopping Centre (1 way only. No return unlike Allium Hotel nearby which offer return too). Cons : 1. Found toilet roll is dirty. 2. Bedsheet and blanket have stains. 3. Aircon is noisy. 4. Noisy singing at karaoke facility at night. 5. Hotel facilities and room condition were old and not value for money. Neutral 1. Buffet breakfast is provided but quality and variety is so-so. Not recommended.

Good hotel with a wonderful spa.
I was a bit worried after reading some negative comments about this hotel at Trip Advisor. However, I was surprised that it was nothing like the reviews that I read. The staffs were helpful and very friendly. There wasn't any problems getting additional pillows and towels. They even let us use their phones to call locally. The breakfast spread was not too bad. Quite a number of choices and delicious. I would recommend this to my family and friends.
