Bro maybe at the Food Court i kena cheated
... Rp 50k for a very small serving of kailan. I think Newton food centre does a better job.
The reason they r ex could be because of location? Near to BCC condotel?
And no other place nearby within walkin distance.
Actually bro, Penuin to Nagoya is a very short ride away..
U will pass by Hotel 89.
And once u reach Nagoya birds everywhere.
Ur right. Not a lot of Taxi drivers know Harappan Baru hotel. So u hv to tell them land marks BCS mall, BCC hotel etc.
Since i dunno the language never tried asking for Rp 15k for taxi ride.

The foodcourt mentioned by The Lord is A2. I've only patronized them during night time and always order from this stall, Lady Seafood. Food is good and price is cheaper when compared to Windsor. But, you don't get to see the loads of ceweks like at Windsor.
I'm not sure if it's particularly near to any joint (at least not sure if there are any within walking distance) as I always use a taxi driver when staying in Penuin area, due to not familiar with this area.
Hotels I've stayed before in this area:
Hotel Harapan Baru (mentioned by The Lord above, was the newest hotel in Batam 2 months back) - room is in the 200k region, depend on the room size you get.
Tel: 0778-421899, 459808
Hp: 0821-73558899
One thing though about this hotel, seems like not a lot of taxi drivers know their location. At least that was the case a month back. If you stay here, take their hotel card and if taxi drivers still don't know, tell them opposite BCS.
Lovina Hotel (Penuin)
Tel: +62 778 423212
Decent hotel, like Hotel Harapan Baru, but not as new. No lift, try to get lower floor rooms.
Penuin Hotel
+62 778 454853
Big room, near to Lovina Hotel above. Ask for newer rooms. Price around 220k.
Nearest mall is BCS to these hotels. Prices in this mall is, on average, cheaper than those in Nagoya Hill. Taking taxi to Nagoya, cheapest I've managed is also about 20k. Even nego by my cewek also 20k. Maybe you can get it cheaper when using those who go on meter. That's why many recommend to stay at Nagoya area (especially Formosa Hotel - +62 778 426789 - and Lovina Inn (Nagoya) - +62 778 467789) as there are at least 5 ceweks in walking distance, thus saving you taxi fare and commission.
