This hotel was a favourite hotel with Singapore bookies DURING THAT TIME cos they're able to receive Singtel signal at the swimming pool area.
Hotel 89 - A couple of year back, a middle-aged Singaporean man was stabbed 24 times in his room.
Not trying to discourage you to staying there. Just stating the facts.

Harmoni is an very conveniently located for those who like to go pubbing, and pub hopping. In addition to No-Name, just behind the road is where most of the pubs are, including Steps, Ice, Twins, etc....
Nevertheless, it is an old hotel and the furniture is a little old. It has in-room safe. The room rates are still higher, but I guess its because of the location. I do stay there when my plan for the night is pubbing. I pay about S$200 for a junior suite (i like bigger space).
Pacific Palace is good especially for those that wants to go Pacific disco. You get free entry being a inhouse guest there. The room is nice, well maintained and clean. Price reasonable. It also has in-room safe.
In my opinion, iHotel is definitely the best. However, it is probably one of the more expensive hotel in Batam. The room is new, modern, nice and well maintained. It also has in-room safe.
The other hotel to consider is Melia Panorama Hotel......
