Within the hotel lobby,there is also a spa promo counter with nobody behind the desk :
I remember saying in this thread before i would give Blue Bayou at Biz hotel a miss,but yet i still went for a try since i already stayed there (for novelty sake). But no...not this time in this Vienna Spa thingy. If i want this sort of spa-like massage,i would have given Spa Secret a chance instead since this Vienna Spa can be more expensive than Spa Secret (just a gut feel). I think Vienna Spa is the most expensive spa i know of in Batam.
I have taken up the package from Nagoya Spa and Massage near Formosa before and it cost me 888k with a 5 hours "whole body makeover",hehehe...so when i saw the pricing in Vienna Spa...i decide,no...not Vienna spa.I believe there is no lack on customer there since this place were 90% filled by Chinese Sillyporean.
Two sides of the coin,either Sillyporean are REALLY proven Silly or they (Vienna Spa) ultimately drop their price. Not being black heart tho,but i do hope they shut down and move King Massage (from Formosa Hotel) over,hehehe...Da Vienna just lost one point to Biz Hotel on this one.
Almost 2pm,time for me to be checked in. Got myself a smoking room and off i head to check out their Junior Suite. Upon entering,my nose were welcome by a heavy stench of cigarette smell,hehehe...not that i mind,since i am a smoker but i need to hold a fair comparison with Formosa and other hotel's smoking room.

I check almost everything in my room. The receptionist told me i will have a short of 2 bottles of mineral water which they will bring it to me at a later time if i want my room now. I am fine with that. My junior suite didnt have a fridge but a cooler. I guess they were trying to save on electricity? No bar counter with drinks and beers etc,thats pretty good for me becos i dont take the stuffs from the mini bar (i create my own,hehehe..). Like Biz and Formosa,they do have a hairdryer and kettle tho.
The Junior Suite in Da Vienna Boutique isnt a 1 room 1 hall kind,more like a half room,half hall. The Hall and bed was divided by half a wall. Yes they have 2 LCD TVs. But with 2 TV's volume on,it can cause quite a noise pollution. Biz has 3 TVs,1 in the toilet,1 at the hall and the other in the bed room. But the walls were fully covered so that when i turn the volume of the room up,i dont hear the sound from the hall. 2 sounds from 2 TVs dont beat against one another.
I can watch 2 TV at once,hehehe...
The junior suite in Da Vienna is however more spacious as compare to the one in Biz Hotel. Oh and the safe in Da Vienna is a broken down one which even when i dont need it,i still ask the housekeeping boys to fix it. Housekeeping staffs? I need to call them myself by being physically there. Calls to Housekeeping,operator,Reception and other line that were use to help a guest were non responsive. Meaning to say,i called once...no one picks up,i called twice,still nobody picks up. Give them another chance by calling about 15 mins later,STILL no one picks up the phone,hehehe...its the 1st hotel i stayed in where no one picks up their phone in Batam.
I have to walk down to talk them up. (i wasnt angry or bad mooded becos i just want to test their respond) Honestly,i have to be fair as its a Sat, thats why i say i am relatively quite fair here when i compared with Biz when i stayed there on a Friday.
