Yup I can attest to that, most I saw was 9520 if changing a bigger amount.

Went new berry at 12.30pm, around 15 girls available but mostly older milfs. Took a SYT with the Papi's guarantee of good service and bargained down 1.6m to 1.25m + 50k for transport, supposedly she's the most expensive in the shop. Hope everything goes well later

On a side note, Instar coffee shop seems closed :/

Bro Ember, dinner tonight?

No,cannot drink water from the tap in any hotel,even after boil...go downstairs,out of formosa hotel front glass door,turn left and keep left...to try to walk behind the hotel...but dont walk out of the perimeter of the hotel. (if still not sure,check with receptionist or bellboy,ask him bring you there)

There is a provision shop that sells mineral water. Grab 2 big bottle from there.Just 1 min walk from front door and provision shop is within the hotel premises of the hotel building. Use that water from mineral bottle to boil. (hotel provides 2 small bottles)

But if you dont bargain,the joint will still take the taxi driver's share even when you do not have them with you.

I think u are referring to the glass of white color tap water taken by Nono during his stay in Gideon. Not only Gideon hotel is like that. Other new hotels has this problem too. I believe the whitish looking substance is an over use of chlorine-kind of chemical or it could be chemical that were use to make tap water look crystal clear. They may have over use those.

Boiling can only kill germs,it doesn't remove the chemical content in the water.

I just found my plan to stay at debest hotel didnt work out. The hotel is fully book tomorrow. This is via their email.
So.....at a lost.
Should I go back to Nagoya?
I need to change cash....is rates at nagoya better than bcs mall area?
What are the alternatives beside debest? Prefer abt same price range.
Cleanliness is important.
Should I walk in debest to try my luck tmr?

Rates seemed bad..9500....

Hmm...why the last min booking? Its weekend and not like what you will usually do.

Should be around the same rate.

Biz Hotel,Han Inn,both are good hotels to stay in. And around the price range of De Best.

If you die die must stay around BCS area,Gideon is not too bad when it comes to cleanliness (except the tap water). Opposite is A2 Food Court and BCS Mall,hehehe...almost like the Formosa in Nagoya (cleaner than formosa impression).

If all else fail,Zest Hotel in Harbour Bay can be relatively good too.

If same category at Nagoya, u can consider the likes of Holiday Hotel or City Central hotel...

Exchange rates are better in Nagoya area..

Many thanks for the speedy replies.
It is not school holidays.....so dun see need to.
Quite last minute as my boss approve my monday leave last minute.

I analyze the crowd in Batam via how many hotels were almost fully book on different days. Their booking and occupancy rate do tell me how crowded Batam will/is going to be.

Good,BCS area should be a good walk. Especially for the food in that area.

Its afterall weekends,bro. Even tho it is considered the least crowded weekend of Feb.

Nagoya area and BCS area isnt exactly too far away tho. I just check Gideon,their basic room were fully sold out too,so i assume BCS area should be pretty crowded. Nagoya wont be any less crowded either as Formosa basic room cost about S$64 online including tax and Da Vienna Boutique hotel basic room were sold out.

Just look at the crazy price for I-Hotel baloi hotel room pricing for tomorrow from agoda (w/o tax).

Reasonable price at Zest Hotel at Harbour Bay,$30 w/o tax. Cheaper than Hana Hotel,hehehe...
