Book this hotel for your next Batam trip

Stayed in Artotel during my trip to Batam recently and i enjoyed it. Location was awesome and staff were friendly!

Pros:

- reasonable price

booked through Agoda for two nights stay which cost $102.

- excellent location

it is close to all the main places you’ll visit like A2 foodcourt, bcs mall, mega mall and the local market.

- clean and spacious room

very comfortable room and good sized toilet, everything in the mini bar including beers are complimentary too!

Cons:

- no gym

- no swimming pool

- kettle is upon request and it has a weird smell even after boiling water three times

Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone going to Batam and i’ll surely return for future stay! Don’t forget to save this post and follow me for more batam recommendations!

*UPDATE*

28 Aug 2025

My second stay at Artotel and I’d still highly recommend it for its location. It’s just a stone’s throw from the market with plenty of breakfast options, plus there’s a convenience store and a massage place just right across the lobby. Most places are only about 10–15 minutes away by Grab. Bed was comfortable and toilet is clean and spacious. Would still book this place for my next visit!

ARTOTEL Batam
2025/8/28 Edited to

... Read moreIf you're planning a trip to Batam, Artotel is an excellent hotel option that offers convenience and comfort at a reasonable price. Besides its unbeatable location close to popular spots like A2 Foodcourt, BCS Mall, and the local market, Artotel provides complimentary minibar items including beers, which was a surprisingly nice touch during my stays. While the hotel lacks a gym and swimming pool, the nearby amenities compensate well. There are plenty of food options and places to relax, including a massage parlor directly across the lobby and a convenience store for any essentials. Transport around Batam is easy with many attractions reachable within 10–15 minutes by Grab. One tip: if you intend to use the kettle in your room, best to request it and be prepared for a slight odor, despite boiling water multiple times. Despite this minor inconvenience, the overall cleanliness and spaciousness of the rooms and bathrooms made my stay very pleasant. For those looking to explore Batam, booking this hotel through platforms like Agoda is straightforward and budget-friendly. Given my two stays here, both were enjoyable and I plan to return. The balance between affordability, comfort, and location makes Artotel Batam a smart choice for solo travelers, couples, or small groups looking for a hassle-free base during their Batam getaway.
