Interesting...
The rooms sizes are the same, but the 2.75jt room faces Lai Lai Hotel/RM Ibu Joko and thus have better ventilation and natural daylight. The 2.45jt room faces the other side and the window is literally just 1-2 metres away from the wall of the next building (back of Batam Star Hotel), which equates to bad ventilation and zero natural daylight. In my opinion, the 300k extra is a must-spend, otherwise the room will probably feel like a prison.

What you don't see in this paper is that they also have a "junior suite" kind of room available for rental, but very limited units; only 1 unit per floor. It comes with a kitchenette, living area and sleeping area. It was 5plus juta several years ago and I suppose the rental now should be about 6juta now.

I still preferred running internet on LAN.

Hmm...I guess that would also means YET another around S$50 per month budget then.
Hmm, I never tried subscribing another ISP but I suspect it's probably not possible. I suppose you can try asking.

I don't think unlimited usage from Lai Lai cost S$50; about 300k if I'm not wrong?
