There isnt any story to talk about,hehehe...becos this year 2019...
Amir hotel is pretty rundown,tho they are still under the 3 star hotel category but according to some friends who stayed there before,the whole hotel's service level is pretty low (friends book room there,by the time reach there say full already,end up 2 of the 5 of them no hotel in that area to stay in). And the steep slope that leads to the hotel's main entrance can be a pain for many bros who wish to do some walking around (just imagine i wish to buy some mineral water, condom, cigarette etc,or grab a bite).
(photo below is just illustration,most time most parts of the hotel's lights are NOT so brightly lighted)
Since its located at the end corner of Harbour Bay,walking from Amir Hotel to Octopuss Spa is longer than walking from any other hotels in Harbour Bay (can be solve by taking Harbour Bay's 30k rupiah EZY taxi tho). Eating out of hotel may be an issue too (this problem can still solve by ordering Go-Food), as this hotel is quite a long walk from MOST eateries around Harbour Bay too. And the air-con issue faced by bro supreme_madness is not a one or 2 day/month problem already,its been around since ages ago (base on TripAdvisor and google reviews). The most complained issue would still be the general cleanliness of the hotel (and its room) tho,hehehe....
The only current key attraction of this hotel is the Indian culture spa (Aaram Spa) which was shared by bro supreme_madness on his FR. Tho,i notice the spa can be relatively expensive compared to other MPs,even to some of Batam Men's spa. And from my perspective, they do have another good thing, they have more smoking rooms than non-smoking rooms. Thats good news for smokers (like myself),hehehe...and service level of the staffs i heard has improved over the years tho but by how much. That,i do not know.

I guess thats some good reason/s why they have priced the hotel lower than most other 2 star hotel in the same area. So,its not really all bad afterall,right? I mean since all their rooms comes with a King size bed (like those in Formosa),hehehe...its a good bed that REALLY matters for majority cheongsters. On top of all that, breakfast is included,hehehe...
One more plus point of Amir is the higher floor sea view,and as it was being located in a lonely corner of Harbor Bay, there was no building blocking the sea view from the highest 2 floors hence a fairly good 180 degree sea view from the room window. During super ultra peak season when there is really no rooms available in Batam, this hotel can be one of the final back up plan for me tho,hehehe...
Hehehe...all in all, there is no such as a perfect hotel,hence i wouldnt say this Amir hotel is all good and no bad and vice versa. Wherever there's some "bad",there will definitely be some "good" and wherever there's some "good",surely there will be some "bad" too.
If i am to stay in this hotel one day, i am more likely to pick their executive room or junior suite room to stay in (costing around S$55 to S$60, with one room one hall format),hehehe...their standard room and superior King would cost around S$25 to S$30 tho,with tax inclusive (weekend might cost a bit more).
(executive room and junior suite is in one room ,one hall format)
Just sharing for the sake of sharing.
