An unbeatable KTV deal at 53k for two hours sounds amazing, right? This review of Inul Vizta in Buaran Plaza explores a very mixed experience. While the price and updated song list are major wins, the session was far from perfect. Expect terrible soundproofing that lets you hear the next room's concert and a serious lack of privacy from peeking staff. This article weighs the incredible value against some significant, potentially deal-breaking flaws and hidden costs.
My throat has been itching to sing lately, so I wanted to find a place with my girls to Nongkrong and belt out some tunes. I just happened to scroll past this Inul Vizta on Lakupon, 2 hours for only 53k Indonesian Rupiah[1]! It was practically a steal, so I went for it without a second thought!
The result... well, how should I put it, the experience was truly a mixed bag, half Mantap, half Anjay...
The Highs and the Lows
Let's start with the good stuff. The location is upstairs at Buaran Plaza in East Jakarta, and it's pretty easy to find. The room was generally clean, and the sofa was comfy. Most importantly, the song list is updated super fast[2], with both new and old songs. Gotta give them props for that!
But! Just as I was getting into it, I suddenly heard the passionate roaring of the guy in the next room, and it was louder than my own background music... Seriously, the soundproofing was so bad I could clearly hear what song they were singing next door😭🙏🏻[3].
What's even more ridiculous is, right when I got to the chorus, I caught a glimpse out of the corner of my eye of an employee's face pressed against the small glass window on the door, peeking in! And it happened more than once! Girls, is there any privacy at all?![4] I instantly couldn't Chill anymore, and the whole vibe just plummeted.
The Price is Great, But So Are the Pitfalls
Honestly, the price is indeed great. But when we used our voucher, we were told there was a minimum food purchase of 30k[5], which was fine. However, I personally saw a group at the next table who didn't use a voucher arguing with the front desk about their bill, saying their room, which was 60k/hour for 2 hours, ended up costing 150k[6]. I don't know if there was some kind of weekend surcharge, so everyone should check their bill carefully when paying.
A Guide to Avoiding the Pitfalls, You're Welcome!
Here are the key points for friends who want to go:
- 💰Top choice for bargain hunters: Definitely look for vouchers on platforms like Lakupon first! It really maxes out the value for money. But before you book, make sure to ask if there's a minimum spending requirement.
- 🎧Soundproofing is a deal-breaker: If you're socially anxious or extremely private, you should really think twice. The feeling of being"watched" and getting a free concert from next door is hard to describe[7].
- 🕹️Equipment is hit-or-miss: If the remote doesn't work, don't try to force it. Just ask someone to change the batteries, they'll take care of it[8].
- 🌙Late-night Easter egg: We sang until the mall was about to close, and when we came out, the entire mall was empty. Walking through the silent mall felt pretty surreal, so brave friends can give it a try[9].
- KTV for 2 hours, only 53k IDR [1]! This insane deal is a no-brainer, just go!
- Mid-song, an employee's face pressed against the door's small window, peeking in [2]! A truly wild privacy breach – can you handle it?
- Sing till mall closing, then roam an empty, silent MALL [3]! This eerie, magical late-night easter egg? Only the brave get it!
