To go on weekends with the same coupon, just top up another S$10 more. So the price becomes very close to the Orange Horizon Ferry ticket selling at Batam money changers at about S$37. Price difference about S$1 plus minus. E-Ticket for Horizon Ferry cost between S$28 - S$32 (weekday) to S$32 - S$36 (weekend).
Walk-in to Horizon Counter at Singapore Harbour Front is S$48.

There will always be pros and cons anywhere. And how well one can adapt to their definition of suitable environment. Its is also on how well you knew about the area of stay too. My own solution :
1. You can choose to stay in the same hotel NOT facing the speakers,hehehe..i can understand what you were trying to tell me becos when i 1st started Batam and one of my trip, i was given a room on the 3rd floor of Formosa Hotel almost directly under Alishan KTV,hehehe...imagine, my room ceiling was shaking with loud music. Yes, it's literally "shaking"...hehehe...i remembered bro Blackpage has also EVER overheard his next door room's couple making out throughout the late wee hours during one of his past stay (so loud until the sound can be recorded in his own room).
Then again, we do not face with similar issue in our future stay in the same hotel. We learned not to make same "mistake" from experience.
2. Choose another hotel in that area instead. There is Gideon, there is Batam City Hotel, BCC etc. All of which i have stayed before, that do not have loud sound that would have woke me up in early wee hours. They arent very expensive type too. Most of their rooms is almost close to sound-proof, unless you were unluckily given a room near the lift, whereby every now and then you will hear the "Ting" sound from it,hehehe...happens to me during my stay in Gideon.
My beliefs were, there will NEVER be any "all good and no bad" (or all bad and no good) in any hotels in Batam,hehehe...just the most suitable. Most hotels in Batam arent that expensive, go find yourself one that suits you most,hehehe...it would be good for your future stay if you wish to visit Batam regularly.

I didnt know its called Park View Hotel until the banner came out (as shown my previous photos). I happen to be there, and noticed,hehehe...crossing the road in Batam cannot be too relax and need to be extra careful, or might get into some accident.

Luckily i was able to capture your post before it gets removed (due to quoting of the whole post, i think).
Yes, Parkview Hotel was ex. Astro Hotel revamped to become an almost brand new hotel. It seems like a major makeover,hehehe...and the 2nd floor coffee cafe looks like its meant for smokers. Not a bad idea if i were to be there and be overlooking Grand Batam Mall. Parkview is another chain hotel. Hope they can provide up to standard service/room comparable with Zest (and be able to maintain those standard thereafter). I might just prefer this Parkview Hotel's open concept more than the Wey Wey hotel more concealed one. More like hotel that allows smoking and hotel that dont. On the floor got S$2, S$5, S$10 and S$50, Wey Wey only wants to pick up S$50 whereas this Parkview Hotel probably wish to picks all up,hehehe...
Another good about this hotel would be due to it being between BCS and Grand Batam Mall and has Astro Food Court besides it. Not forgetting A2 food court isnt far away. Hmm...if only Windsor and J8 food courts has more hotels around it within few mins walk away.
