The Hotel we booked for this trip is Harris Hotel Batam Center. Apparently there is another Harris hotel in Batam but this is the one besides the ferry terminal, opposite a shopping center.
There isn't any non smoking double room left during check in so we settled for a non smoking twin room and pushed the beds together.
Was allocated to the 5th level overlooking a big field and the words "Welcome To Batam". Haha I would actually prefer the other side of the corridoor where the rooms will get "sea view" since it is overlooking the jetty.

Room is pretty clean when we walked in and it reminds me of the non frills hotel we stayed in Taiwan. Nothing fancy but comfortable enough for a night's stay.

| TV & Writing table |
There's a long writing table along the wall with a couch at the end of it. Didn't make use of the couch but it was good enough for us to place our back packs and clothing on it.

Toiletries were provided along with towels and also hair dryer which is essential for people with long hair like me.

There's a partition which serves as wardrobe besides the door. We didn't use it though since is staying for one night only. Rooms here allows inter connection. All you have to do is to open the door beside the wardrobe.

| Simple wardrobe |
A small counter where complimentary drinks and the kettle are is right in front of the simple wardrobe. There is also a mini fridge below which we used to store the drinks we brought to cool it for tomorrow's drink. Hehe
There is a small safe in the middle compartment though I didn't dare to leave my things inside while we are out.
The thing I love most about this room is the bed which is soft and comfortable. Its like hugging you while you lay sleeping on it. Comforter is also thick to keep warm during the night. Don't know whether is because I am too tired or the bed is really that comfortable but we had a undisturbed 8hours sleep straight.

We paid around SGD 65 bucks for each room without breakfast and it comes with free wifi which works quite well to my surprise. To us, the price is really a steal since we only need a room for sleeping and it's cleanliness is up to my expectation too.
Staff were polite and helpful when we make enquiries at the counter. There is also a shutter service in which the the hotel staff will send you to the ferry terminal an hour before boarding.
While we were here, they helped us to book our return ferry tickets and collected them and therefore giving us more time to shop before boarding. We just need to be there half an hour before departure time to check in as compare to an hour before departure if our tickets are not collected.
All in all, I am happy with the short stay here and would stay here again should we come back to Batam :)
