Nine Days Hotel

Very good location. Only about 5mins walk from Harbourbay ferry terminal. The staff are very nice and friendly. They answer questions politely. There is a 24hour halal chicken rice shop next door. Next to it there is a 24hour mart. We got a standard room, which is surprisingly clean and neat, albeit a strange stain on the bedsheet which we understand might have been difficult to remove but should not have been reused to make the beds. Bed and pillow are comfy. Aircon was awesome. Hot water is good too. Water pressure is reasonably alright. There is a weird smell coming from the drainage when you let the water run though but it is not all that overwhelming. We can see that they actually make an effort to keep the place clean. We got a non-smoking room but the smoke smell still enters the room at times but that is not a big issue to us. Be warned that this place has no elevator. We had to carry up our suitcase 3 floors. Overall, we are happy with the stay. Surprising, as we usually do not take standard rooms due to fear of being unhappy with the stay. But i can say that this place, although it is cheap, lived up to standards of a basic hotel.

UPDATE: Nov 2024 Tried Nine Days again. Happy to say the rooms are cleaned daily once again. As Harbour Bay develops, (and Grab and Gojek are present), this location is more convenient as a base in Batam. I regularly stay here during my visits to Batam but will probably need to find an alternative soon. They have stopped daily cleaning of the rooms!!! 😡 Checked in last night. This morning I mentioned to reception that my room is available to be cleaned on my way out to grab a bite. On my return, I was told that the room can only be cleaned tomorrow as they only clean rooms once every 2 days. 😡🤦 I don’t ask much of a hotel but cleanliness is non-negotiable.

my room is non-smoking but still can smell cigarette. can see little cockroach around the room and ants, sound proofing not very good can hear people talking, walking outside loudly, hair shampoo not provided and toilet bidet spray is too strong.
