Indeed,judging from its outlook of how they themed their rooms.

This place is one of the top notch spa resort in Batam. Think i may likely go check if Kaha is having special price for their room type soon. Seems to me this place's business not as good as Montigo. So the chance for a better price maybe higher. Reviews however were mostly good. (it has to be, for that type of price) but i usually try to look into the not-so-good point of view instead.

Booking.com going at S$241.00 per night stay inclusive tax. S$296.00 per night for a better version of their room.

If you go during weekday, I think you will likely get more than the normal discount and better bargain. I have mentioned before that this Spa is expensive sometime ago and probably be my 1st & last time trying out this Spa.

Good to see more information on this Vienna Spa,hehehe...

The Spa was deserted as I walked about checking out the rooms again and I supposed this is going to be the way for the rest of the weekday, maybe (not sure) with exception of weekday night and weekend. The Spa Manager was exceptionally eager to serve me and very determined to get a deal done. She offered the normal discounts which I have turned down as I have plan to do massage at Devata, Marianne or Sakura. She further proposed Rp 270k for 1.5 hours aroma massage which I have also turned down. For around Rp 280k, I can get a 2 hours massage + body scrub at Marianne, Sakura or even Devata. She continued with her best effort persuasion cum pestering, and I proposed a 30 mins body scrub in addition to the 1.5 hrs aroma massage at Rp 270k. She agreed without much hesitation.

The normal discount,i suppose you mean the 20% off?

Everything is expensive in this place. Maybe one day i have to go there to try out their massage,at the same time propose to them (Vienna Spa Massage) what other massage places were actually offering. I think since most of their hotel guests were sillyporean,its not difficult to catch a handful of silly-enough ones not knowing the market rate. Glad to see sillyporean getting to be not-as-silly during weekdays. Even Just-Mine Spa massage pricing from Gideon Hotel could beat Vienna.

For me,I simply dial King Massage and call for a 2 hour massage into my Da vienna room which will cost me 250k rupiah (and not thats not adding in my membership discount,hehehe..). I do have a small collection of other massage shops doing outcall massage service and they are about Kings-after-discount pricing too.

If i cant be near to a massage shop i like in another hotel i stayed in,i bring the massage shops to me. I have been working on this for a while now and there are still many flaws to rectify.

Were you there on a weekday or weekend,if you dont mind me asking. Asking out of curioisty as usually weekend easier to secure better bargain but chances were dimmer for weekends..

Just sharing about some losing money/valuable experience in Batam.

I have a few incidents where some bros who joined me in my group trip thought they have some missing Indo rupiah. When i ask them to double check,did they then realize that that they had spent it. We counted together the total amount of money that we have changed,the amount of money where we later spent on,and end up only to realize that "he" had spent on some small items like groceries,tippings etc. So i always advise them to check and double check the money they change and how they spent it on.

Another incident was when a bro thought he loses his wallet upon returning from NED only to realize later that he did not bring his wallet out of the hotel room. Not forgetting in my much earlier trip,one of my friends who drop a stack of about S$3k at the reception area and only realize it when the receptionist brought it up to my room when we were having our TCSS.

What i am trying to say here is, always double check our own money. Dont count money/sort out money in public area openly,dont leave wallets or anything where money or valuable is concern unattended to unless its being lock safely away (locking away isnt 100% foolproof either). One of my friend recently got reprimanded by me becos after he changed money from opposite Formosa Hotel,he starts counting and sorting his money while on his way walking back to the hotel. Told him that he either count his money inside the money changer before he goes off or go back to the room then sort it out privately.

Safety 1st,my priority.

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.

If given the date and time of the massage,i believe the massage girl that day can be traced back by their management. I also believe the management would like to know more so as to avoid future re-occurrence to another of their own customers.
