Triniti Hotel Batam

suitable for backpackers or those on a tight budget. room is spacious. aircon working. tv working with many channels, wifi works well. location is away from main road, not vibrant but can walk 15 min to the nearest mall. at night, seafood restaurant comes alive near the hotel. deposit of 100 k indonesian rupiah.

My first time visiting Batam and I was travelling alone. I reached the dock of Batam Center Ferry Terminal and saw this counter - KAHA Hotel Reservation. The cheapest hotel available was Triniti Hotel which cost IDR350,000 a night which equal to RM105.00. The reservation office said the hotel is located 200 meter away from the Nagoya Mall. I took a taxi to the hotel which cost IDR70,000 (RM21.00). The location of the hotel is in a quiet and dark place and the roads to the hotel has potholes. Neighboring shop lots were empty. I register at the counter with a friendly receptionist. The room was clean with double bed but the television was too small. The air-condition wasn't cold even after setting at 18 degrees. The room has an open wardrobe, hot water shower, 2 bottles of drinking water, slippers and room service available. Smoking area is available at the hotel entrance walk-way. I walked to the nearby Nagoya Mall which took me 30 min. I realized, the distance to the mall is around 600 meters to 1 kilometers. Breakfast was so simple with choice of "Nasi Goreng" or "Mee Goreng". I would not recommend any tourist to stay in Trinity hotel.

This is a no-frills budget hotel. Be prepared for only 1 pair of slippers, 1 set of toiletries. But you can always ask reception for more sets. Breakfast was simple but satisfying. Beehoon fried rice eggs chicken bread coffee and tea. Simple fare but was stood out was the burly manager and hardworking staff at breakfast clearing plates and being very attentive to replenish the dishes and drinks! Kudos to the staff! Room was spacious enough for 2. Although toilet has slight sewage smell but for a 1 night stay it was sufficient enough. 3 stars for the limited amenities but good service and sufficient stay. Surroundings are dark and quiet. Do not go out at night.
