Harris Hotel Batam Centre: Comfort & Convenience Near the Ferry Terminal
This modern budget-friendly hotel hits all the right notes for a short Batam stay. Located just 5 minutes from Batam Centre Ferry Terminal, it's perfect for quick getaways from Singapore. The bright, minimalist lobby sets the tone for a no-fuss, comfortable experience.
Rooms are compact but smartly designed - the plush beds with quality linens guarantee good sleep, and powerful showers in the clean bathrooms are a nice touch. Free WiFi works well throughout the property. The rooftop pool, though small, offers pleasant city views and a refreshing dip after a day of exploring.
Breakfast delivers solid local flavors (try their nasi lemak) alongside standard continental options. Hotel is right beside the ferry terminal, just a five minutes walk. The attached Harris Cafe serves decent coffee and quick bites at reasonable prices.
Downsides are minor: Some rooms face a noisy main road, and the gym is basic. But for the price and location, these are easy to overlook.
Rating: 4/5 - A reliable, value-packed base that makes ferry-hopping to Batam seamless. Ideal for shoppers and short-stay visitors.
Tip: Request a high-floor room facing away from the road for quieter nights. The nearby Batam Centre night market has amazing seafood at local prices!
