Stay in Tanjungpinang


Some of the TOP Hotels in Bali

Bali's most famous and crowded resort is Kuta beach, a six-kilometre sweep of golden sand, with plenty of accommodation, shops and nightlife. Nearby Sanur is much quieter, but most backpackers prefer the beaches of peaceful east-coast Candi Dasa and traveller-oriented Lovina on the north coast. The island's other major destination is the cultural centre of Ubud , a still charming but undeniably commercialized overgrown village, where traditional dances are staged every night of the week and the streets are full of arts-and-crafts galleries.

Tg. Pinang is a busy transit town with passengers arriving and departing all the time from Pekanbaru, Jakarta, Singapore, Medan, Palembang, most seeking out the cheap rooms. The cheapest is to stay with families; it's easy to meet people who'll take you in. The police discourage this since they are only able to extract Rp500 for their 'police report' if you stay in a legitimate hotel. Be careful of which house you stay in (beware of Kampung Jawa), there's been numerous thefts of foreigners' gear. Frank might meet you at the pier when the boats come in; he'll fix you up with a safe place. Frank is very knowledgeable about the Riau area and speaks fluent English. About the best and most central Hotel is Peng. Sampurna, JI. Josuf Kahar, cheapest rooms at Rp1100- but remember the Rp500 for the police report. Losmen Sondang, JI. Josuf Kahar, asks Rp1500 for a double room or for 3 in a room, Rp2400; clean, safe, well-run. Also Hotel Surya, JI. Bintan, Rp550. Most expensive is Wisma Daerah Guesthouse, JI. Diponegoro, at Rp4200 with a fan. Tanjung Pinang Hotel, overlooking the town, offers good economy class rooms for Rp2700; to get your bearings, there's a large relief map of the Riau upstairs.
