Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to Hotel Penuin, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Considering the hotel's 3-star rating and location in Batam, it's best to request rooms on higher floors (above the 5th floor) to avoid street noise from the main roads. Specifically, rooms on the 6th or 7th floor, which may have a slight sea view, are a good option.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Rooms near the lift (elevator) on lower floors (1-3) may experience more noise from guests and the lift's mechanical operations. Additionally, rooms near the service entrance or bar may be noisier due to staff activity and potential late-night events.

🪟

Best views

Given the hotel's location in Batam, rooms on higher floors (6-7) may have a partial sea view, although the views might not be extensive due to the city's coastal layout.

😴

Quietest floors

Floors 6-10 are likely to be the quietest, given the hotel's layout and the fact that lower floors are closer to the main roads.

🔊 Noise notes

Batam's streets can be busy, especially near the hotel's location. Be prepared for some traffic noise, especially during peak hours. Additionally, the hotel's proximity to the main roads may result in some noise from passing vehicles.

Insider tips

Request a room with a sea view on the higher floors for a mildly improved view and potentially reduced noise from the main roads. If you're sensitive to noise, consider requesting a room in the inner section of the hotel, away from the lift and service entrance.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
  3. Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
