Who knows how drastic it is going to be when sewage water come into contact with electricity.

I checked out and informed the front desk showing them the above picture. They said they will look into it and hopefully they do. One thing for sure, I won't be staying in room 723 when I checked into Da Vienna again.

Thanks....will take note.
For a while I thought is something paranormal.....hehehe.
But, the snoring still......

Can't confirm. The therapist closed the door for me.

She closed the bathroom door for you?
Highly suspect.

Thanks for hilighting.....

Conjuring 2 is a nice movie,fyi. It said to be base on a true story.

Watched 2 movies conjuring & ninja turtle in batam last week,i find conjuring 2 better. Warcraft no more.

I posted this photo, not to advertise the contact number, more because the signage will capture attention when someone walk in the mall and know where it is instead of writing long story to tell its location.

The photo was actually still intact,jus tat yr comp didn't manage to capture the cache,tat's y it's not shwing on yr comp previously.

This hotel cannot be compared with those like Central, 18, Hans, Hana and etc. Of course the price is also cheaper. However, the advantage is it is within the mall itself and if it rains dogs and cats outside the mall, one will not be getting wet. In any case, it is still fresh and new now. If it gets old, you may want to opt for other options.

It's basically simple rm,bro. They dn't provide breakfast.

Ya,highly suspicion.

@bro movingtarget,any chance u might knw the massage gal's name? In case,u didn't knw. U can always launch a report to da vienna hotel itself & high chance they will look into the matter,even for yr 'rainy room' too. Email em,bro. Their customer service standard quite good de,they reply customer via trip advisor.

Yes,bro. Only for the period of Ramadan month.

81k for an hour massage in Hotel room was a considerably good price. Hehehe...i am working towards 20% discount as i speak,which will one day happen and it will work out to be 72k/hour for in-house massage and 80k/hour for in-room massage. One day,it will also be 200k for 2 hours for out of Formosa Hotel massage and 264k for 2 hours of hot stone massage...one day...hehehe...

There are 2 version of cigarettes in Batam,there Duty free ones and the one manufacture there. The Duty Free one w/o ugly pic on the box cost about 35k (Sillypore DFS cost S$5),the one manufacture locally has the ugly looking cancer pic cost around 20k plus.

My driver has never been late for any appointments and he replied fast even for last minutes in wee hours. I always pay 5k rupiah below the standard market rate for each trip.

And the cost of taxi fare?

Behind Da Vienna Hotel is their car park,walking from there to Formosa does saves me much time.

Even those in front of Formosa hotel lose out. If don’t believe check it out on your own. At least 3k rupiah more for every $100. Rate was 9780 best price during the 3Days.

The date of your trip? If you do not mind sharing. (no obligation to reply)

According to my own record,rate for opposite formosa money changer is :

9th June : 9800/SGD

10th June : 9820/SGD

11th June : 9790/SGD

12th June : 9790/SGD - (Sunday)

13th June : 9800/SGD

14th June : 9850/SGD

15th June : 9850/SGD

16th June : 9880/SGD - (Thursday)

17th June : 9860/SGD

18th June : 9850/SGD

19th June : 9850/SGD - (Sunday)

Those were the rate opposite Formosa if i change S$50 and above. Rates will be a little better if i change S$1000 and more. (my mum's ex. colleagues in Jakarta change 9900/SGD on 16th June 2016 which surprise me) Anyway,the difference also not really very much between money changers. Its just that getting a good price for something during travelling makes my day.

Indon girls came in for parade. WOW! About 40+ indon girls around there came in. Don’t even have space to stand. At least 15 are syt. Some even looks underage. Viet and china girl parade is about 15 girls. Business seems bad during this month there.
Bought 1 chivas and 2 beer of jug, 4 green tea and 6 cokes as mixers. Together with the fruits and “keropok”, cost is around 2.5juta. So around $80 per person.

Room is super spacious and big.

Any chance you might still have the receipt with you so that i can keep a record on the breakdown of the M1 bill? Again,no obligation,my intention was just to keep a record on the M1 bill breakdown for info collection purpose.

Thank you.

Playability depends on chemistry with girl and how wild the girl is.
I took and innocent 20 year old indon girl.

Good information here,thank you for sharing.

HI bros,
Any bros got recommendation for monthly accommodation? in batam? please advice / share. Thank you very much in advance

[hornyalan79]

Hi guys. I need some advices from you all. Going to batam in 2 weeks time with my office colleagues (females + males). Staying at da vienna, nagoya.

My female colleagues will be doing clean massage while 3 of us guys will want to have something special, hehe. I actually went batam in may this year. First time visited delta. Had the usual massage with hj. Wanted auto roam with clothes off while hj, and girl demanded idr 500k. Guessed my nego skill very bad, she would not budge even after i offered 200k, haha. I did not go for anything and that hj session was really a very disappointing one.

So this time i want to try massage with option of fj or hj with clothes off.Question here.. wonder if there's any massage/spa joints near nagoya hills that offers both fj (inside the massage/spa compound) or hj (auto roam) ? Only me thinking of doing fj. The 2 other male kaki just hj. Thanks in advance.

I dont usually like to recommend,but i find the hotel prices stated for monthly accommodation shared by the above 2 bros quite reasonable. Especially for both their hotel location (near Utama hotel and the other one at Nagoya Hill Mall). If i one day choose to stay in Batam on monthly basis,i may choose to stay in "hotel" instead (rather than rent somewhere far),i mean since its quite affordable.

Hope that helps.

Cheers!

(i am putting this post of mine in my info vault for future reference. Special thanks to the bros who provide the info)

Well I don't really look at the packaging seriously. As long as it is the cheapest and after conversion cost about sg$2, that's all it matter to me.

From Da Vienna to Nagoya Shopping Mall i pay 10k rupiah
From Da Vienna to Pacific Disco or M1 KTV I give 50k rupiah.
But before i went off to sillypore usually i give him tips for his punctuality in picking me up on time so end up the same overall.
Just that it feels good not paying the "standard" market price.
Bear in mind I'm with another 2 friends.

Yes I know about this. My 1st cewek for the night actually told me about the backdoor.

I was in Batam on the 14-17th June. They always put outside 9750/SGD so I don't really both asking them the best price as I hardly pass by it unless I'm going to King's massage.

This is the receipt for M1. Hope it helps for your collection and those Bros that intend to go to M1 or M2 KTV. Just a reminder to Bros, only local cewek cost 300k rupiah whole night no butterfly.
