My stay at Balai View Hotel was quite pleasant overall, with friendly staff and a good location in Tanjung Balai. However, the smoking policy in shared areas and some cleanliness issues brought my experience down a notch. I'd say it could use some improvements, particularly around maintaining a fresher environment and enforcing non-smoking rules.

I had a mixed experience at Balai View Hotel. While the service was commendable, the overall quality of the hotel left much to be desired. The room was basic and had its share of issues, but on the plus side, the air conditioning was strong and the hotel staff were quite friendly.

The room I stayed in was pretty basic and unfortunately had cigarette burn marks on the bed runner. Plus, there was no shower curtain in the bathtub and the fridge emitted a nasty odor. On the upside, the air conditioning worked well, providing relief from the heat.

I stayed at Balai View Hotel for a night during my trip from Batam to Karimun. The hotel is centrally located and looks modern from the outside. My room was spacious and had good Wi-Fi, but the overall experience had some drawbacks. The air conditioning worked well, which was a plus, but I found the breakfast buffet to be average. I'd consider returning for a few more days on Karimun Island. 🌴😊
