Batavia Hotel

Good location not really far from city center. Friendly staff. Cheap indoor parking on site.

Non-smoking room smelt like a smoking one.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The hotel was very clean and safe and in an excellent location. The beds were comfortable.

The lift is very small. The breakfast could have had some more variety.

Great shower, good location, clean Friendly staff

My good-sized room was at the back of the hotel and had a bathroom (shower, no bath) in another connected room. Bed was very comfortable. TV was a reasonable size. My room had a balcony area where I could sit outside with a good view if you like watching pigeons flying around the backs of tall buildings and/or like to smoke (ashtray and chair provided). Plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance, Breakfast was available until 10 am; there was lots of choice but only three hot dishes, a couple more would have been better for me.

I arrived at night, took the lift to my floor (the fifth) and exited the lift into darkness; the area is lit by timed light switches and I did not know the location of the switches so I had a little trouble finding my room even though it was only 2 metres from the lift. In the light of the next day I discovered switches outside every room, it would have been helpful if the staff had told me this on my arrival. Otherwise not much to dislike about the place
