KTV

I really really miss the KTV's in changping from a while ago, so I thought I would go the ktv here in batam. I am on my last day now here in batam, and I have been to 2 ktv here: Alishan, and M2. The cost for the whole night including tax and service fees and everything (except any tip) came out to roughly 1 mil for both places per night.
Initially I was extremely skeptical about the pricing, and had it explained to me countless times before I went in, as I thought that they would try to rip me off and the end price would be super high.
But no, I am extremely satisfied with the price I was charged and paid, and would easily do it again.
When I get around to writing a report I will elaborate more.
Going to get some breakfast now, and start packing up to catch the ferry to JB in a few hours.

don't visit them, don't support them, don't spoil market. very soon they will lower down the rate man. It need everyone to keep the standard of the rate low not one person job. some of they're girls already do boking/ST online meaning the customer in they're KTV not enough that why they have no choice but to do ST/Boking. and the FL i saw doing Boking is under they're high quality range ( but to me she still normal not stunning enough) hopefully everyone gather up to keep batam standard for all the cheongster ya

If intention is to lower the KTV's girl ST/BO rate, Yes possible.
If is to lower the KTV charges and bottles rate, Not possible.
Business good and most customers are local.

many locals bet on pingpong no. in ktv just one round betting already 20-50juta

Hehehe...i have been ranting about BCC hotel's meal being very expensive and true enough, they are. Thats if one orders them directly from the restaurant menu. And if they do not have a special offer menu like the below, i think their restaurant gonna wind up very soon,hehehe...

Below is the meal for 2 i ordered. Yes, the meal is at 50k rupiah a set and all added up to be 100k rupiah nett. Taste wise is not bad, i will give a 7.5/10 and its just the price of 100k rupiah that bothers me a bit. Imagine, promotion price still need 100k rupiah, which is not considered low in my perspective.

Anyway, the advantage of staying around penuin area aka nearby BCC hotel also means there are plenty of very good food around that there. One of the example would be A2 Food court, Mickey Mouse Bak Kut Teh and not forgetting the penuin wet market Bai Long Wan Tan noodle place. So much competition around that area on food,hehehe...if i dont remember wrong, Hai Ou and Eatern Food court is around somewhere there too. Not forgetting my favorite Budi Siang Malam chicken rice,hehehe...there are quite a handful of them just around this hotel.

Its a shame that in this June Batam trip, i cannot take anything chicken due to having just recovered from Chickenpox (my mum says so,hehehe...).

BCC basic hotel room is actually not bad when it comes to room size. Its bigger than most hotel room around Batam with the similar almost S$60 a night pricing,hehehe...

I kind of like the see through panel whereby i can look aright into the toilet,hehehe....and if its night time, after turning off the room light, can see the girl in shadow-like figure taking off her clothes for shower. A good turn on,hehehe...

At 17th floor, its really almost a bird's eye view when looking out of the window. See, Grand Batam Mall is so close by to BCC hotel,hehehe...the sad thing is, the windows were sealed. Sealed as in complete sealed to the extend there is no way to open it unless one choose to break the glass.

When a window is completely sealed, and when thats done throughout the whole room, it also means very VERY poor fresh air ventilation. Air-con used in the room was those centralized-type. Psychologically, there is a air con control panel there, but most would know these type of controls dont really work other than just turning the air-con On and Off and increasing the wind power. This is also a smoking room,hehehe...

There was a suggestion form on the table, and when i wish to write my suggestion, i notice it was an "used" suggestion form,hehehe...so end up i become the person to read the suggestion of the last guest staying the room instead of the BCC hotel management.

The suggestion form which was written by a female guest says the hotel's towel has a strong stench of burning smell, the water heater in the toilet wasnt hot enough and the air-conditioner temperature control dont seems to work at all. Its either too cold or too hot.

True enough, i learned that the hard way,hehehe...becos i picked up the used-suggestion form ONLY on my last day of stay in the hotel. I didnt amend the suggestion form (or ask for new one) and left it the way it is when i checked in since the female guest's suggestion is pretty much similar to mine.

Breakfast wise, variety is there. They have as much varieties as in Formosa hotel but taste wise, they definitely cannot beat Formosa, let alone Da Vienna. I would rate BCC breakfast and overall 7.5/10 , if i were to rate Formosa 8.5/10 and Da Vienna a 9/10. I rate Harbour Boutique Hotel a 7/10, a 6.5/10 for both Batam City Hotel and Gideon Hotel tho. And keep in mind, all these mentioned hotels were all categorized under 3 star, hence i didnt include my ratings for other 1 star, 2 stars and 4 stars hotel in Batam.

It would NOT be a fair comparison.

One more good point this hotel that most other hotels in Batam didnt have...hehehe...

...which i believe makes this BCC Hotel more unique than the rest. They were tested and it works,hehehe...

Enjoying Batam....

Ask a doctor about chickenpox and your mama about cooking a chicken. To each his/her own.

S$100 is reasonable. Did you order beer or liquor? Managed to ta pao lady for overnight?
