2. Located almost right in the central of most overnight booking joints and MPs.
3. Have a in-hotel MP that operates from 9am to midnight (closed at 1am).
4. Has a sauna room that most people didn't know and ONLY me and my girls use it. More importantly, it's free. (i call it my personal sauna room as it's the only sauna where me and my girls can go completely naked inside and nobody will bother me)
5. Has a 24 hour restaurant with room service at Zhi char pricing (& 20% off too).
6. Has a Tea Story cafe that closes at 3am. So i can sit at lobby to watch the Alishan KTV girls come & go at 2am onward.
I did a thorough search in Batam over the years and no hotels in Batam has all the above features under one roof.
I don't know if u have deliberately miss it on alishan ktv.
A KTV in batam with girls in it is normal. But a KTV inside a hotel with vietnam, thailand & prc girls isn't.
Wah lao eh, bro. Ojek usually travel short distance, wear or dont wear helment not going to be really life threatening.
The main threat comes from what i fear most in Batam, the Batam local authorities, eg Police, immigration officer etc.
Oh, come to think of it, this coming August 2023 trip, i am also buying a bottle of shampoo for one of the MP lady's children a bottle of headlice shampoo from Singapore, hehehe... well, if you know what i am implying.
True enough bro.
The girls in those MPs looks at me as a very stingy person even when i tip them 100k rupiah after each massage session.
Bro. Short or long distance. Accident can happen. So to me its life threatening. Wearing helmet is for my own safety
But since i dont like wearing one and at the same time safety hazard, i decided to give it a miss. But if ojek a cewek, i may consider.
100k tip those girls still not happy. So many MPs to chose from. But i think you have your favourite regular girls.
Don't blame sinkie too much, nowaday Batam were flooded by foreign workers from Singapore.
Plenty of these spoil market people in Batam, bro. Which is why there are touristy area and non tourist area in Batam, isn't it?
Local Batam residents rarely visit touristy area/place.
The other day was having my breakfast. Overheard 3 pinoys chit chatting away. There are other foreigners. Some from Sinkieland earning Sgd dollars. So able to stretch the dollar. Come once awhile. Sure spoilt market.

There are also Japs and they are too used to paying what they pay at home. I saw Indians and they were negotiating rates like mad, they wouldn't spoil any market 😆👍
Hi bro, long time no see. Hope all's well with you in real life.
When Formosa Hotel closed down some years back ago, the situation has forced me to move out of my comfort zone to re-established another headquarter in Batam, hehehe... no hotel could match Formosa as yet.
For this, I agree. Ever since Formosa closed down, i had tried others like Da Vienna, Harmoni Suites, none can compare to Formosa(if to choose, Da Vienna will be better one but cost higher).
Recently came back from Batam 3D2N trip. Nothing special happened as i was just relaxing myself trying another hotel which is Biz Hotel. The room I got was small.
As usual I walked all the way from ferry terminal to Biz Hotel. Along the way, I still saw the Club Atalanta Spa Signage standing around despite the spa closed down so long way before covid. A nice budget place I usually went in the past.

Yes. All kind of nationalities and most were working in sinkieland. As for south asian customers, most of the girls told me they would avoid them.

Many years ago, a girl I booked (yes, I did also that in my life) told me about an Indian guy, who booked the girl from the joint, then, when they went to hotel room and opened the door, she found also his 4 or 5 friends waiting ROFL.
If I understand people's psychology, I think that guy thought to be a smart savvy buyer (i.e., "I pay for the night, unlimited bonks, it is the same if I am with friends, we share the cost").
I am not surprised in recent years they set a limit on the number of bonks. Men ok, rabbits no thanks.
PS: I assume "South Asia" does not include Singapore

Atalanta as in opposite AP Premier (formally Novotel & Travelodge)? That spa budget meh
Try FaveHotel it's not too bad. Of course nothing compares to Formosa.

Lol. Remind me of one of my friends whos from South Asian country. He booked a girl. Only came out of his room for lunch and dinner. Next morning he told us he bonked his girl 11 shots. Sure know how to stretch his rupees.
