So, time is coming. If everything will go as I hope, this October I will be back to KL (now dead) and then for a week to Batam, as I was used to do before Covid.
From now to October there is enough time to allow things to improve a lot about local entertainment and night activities, but also for another COVID wave and restrictions. We cross fingers.
I have a question for old-time regulars and for those who are going back to Batam recently with the reopening.
My place was Formosa, room 275 or 265 (business rooms). That era has ended.
Now I have to find my new home.
I am considering
Four Points Sheraton, ex Allium, because of points on my Bonvoy account (I need nights, if I still want a residual hope to keep my Gold level). Price is more or less the same as old Formosa (less than 500k), but I am wary of rooms: only one type, just 30 sqm, smaller than Formosa. Also the price seems too cheap for a good room in a good hotel.
Anyone has ever tried this hotel in the last 2-3 years?
Are rooms ok?
How big is the King Size bed? I was used to big bed of Formosa, which could accommodate 3 persons easily.
The other hotel I am considering is
Da Vienna. The regular room costs the same as old Formosa and just a little less than Four Points (!), but I remember it is too small (24 sqm!), smaller than Formosa. At Da Vienna, I would go to the Junior Suite, way more expensive, but which is much larger and also has a bath tub
So, any savvy travelery who can comment and provide recommendations?
PS: Nono!! Where are you?? No more posts here?
