Hehehe...i am still going through the list of hotels that provide FREE shuttle service in Batam.

https://sammy.guru/showpost.php?p=17...ostcount=12019

Just realize most of them are not in the Nagoya area. And i doubt i will trying those hotels that arent close to Nagoya.

Once there are those "stickers", i will share some with your team,hehehe...

Not bad, room is very big...hehehe...and plus can merge the bed together to make a gigantic bed, almost double the size of 2 x queen size bed.

The hotel do provide breakfast, but just simple coffee/tea with bread and jam. Just like the type of breakfast that was provided in Nine Days Hotel when they 1st started operation.

Location wise was pretty convenient, and almost directly behind Harmoni hotel. The good...

1. Its almost directly opposite memory ktv (2 mins walk across the road), and less than 10 mins walk to Sekar aka ex. New Berry.

2. Behind the hotel is Mcdonald and KFC which i think operate 24 hours.

3. Convenient 24 hours store also behind the hotel, and wont take more than 5 mins to reach.

4. Hotel staffs helps me order Grab/GoCar, so travelling is a breeze. They even help me order Grab/Gocar upon returning from where i came from too. Thumbs up for such good service. Do note that this service might not be applicable to every guest of the hotel.

5. Hotel staffs even send our group to Harbour Bay for free.

6. Its a non-smoking hotel but...well...hehehe...check with the receptionist.

7. Wait till Dynasty 99 is open for business.

Nothing is really all good and no bad. And here's the bad,hehehe...

a) Everything around the area is higher in price as compare to other parts of Batam that are away from Kampong Bule. Even the cigarette cost more. Note that i am comparing K-Mart versus K-Mart and Alfa Mart versus Alfa Mart.

b) There is no elevator in this hotel and its 3 floor high in height. So its not very elderly-friendly.

c) Comparing apple to apple, this hotel versus Zest. Zest provides breakfast fairly good breakfast whereas this Lumba Lumba Inn practically dont. And for the almost similar price, if i can forego breakfast, i will stay there but if i cant do w/o breakfast, this lumba lumba inn would only be good for their larger than Zest hotel room.

d) There is only 2 of such room stated as in the room photo above. The rest of the room were way smaller, with a King size bed but w/o a chair in it. The cost is about S$25/night. Lack of walking space, thats good and bad depends on how one looks at it.

e) Staffs hardly speaks understandable English.

So, in other word, this place is not even a 2 starred hotel and i am comparing with Zest which is a 2 starred hotel. Lumba Lumba Inn Hotel should be a 1 starred hotel,at best 1.5 star. Its a new hotel, hence everything is still VERY clean.
