Totally agree with you.
How's the air-con in Formosa from your point of view?
How's the WiFi or internet connection from your point of view?
I manage to "fixed" this 2 main issues of the hotel's shortcoming during my stay there over my last 6 trips,hehehe...hence i am not changing Hotel until if there is a hotel that fits the criteria of :
1. Good cooling enough Air-con
2. Good internet connection - most important
3. No in-room insects.
4. No hantu
5. Joints , food and entertainments within less than 5 - 10 mins walk
6. Reception & staffs speaks English.(& friendly)
7. Safety
I spend some effort fixing a few of the hotel's bad,so i'll stay there until i can find a bad which i cannot fixed or if the hotel moved. Come to think of it,i hear from the people in Centre Point that part of the building is going to be convert into a hotel. It's beside Formosa and am looking for that to happen,hehehe....

Thank you bro,will be looking forward to your FR and info on your trip.
My question about VOA is,if my indian fren will need to prepare US$25 and approach the VOA counter during check in,but will the VOA counter chop his passport or will he after leaving the VOA counter needs to que up like i do to get my my passport chopped? Plz note here that VOA counter & the place where the cutom chop passport is 2 different terminal in the arrival area.
Formosa do have buffet,but i don't know what is Ramadan buffet. No pork no lard in the buffet tho. The serving pattern is as usual.
