Room 207 is a non-smoking room,the non-smoking section of formosa is known to be a little...erm...erm...*cough* ...but i heard they close up those "rooms" liao. Which means you wont get a chance to check-in into it.

Care to share which floor? In my last trip,tho i didnt have an air-con issue,toilet issue etc,but some bros who joined me on my trip has.
My solution for weak air con :
1. Get the smallest Deluxe room available in the hotel. Preferable their Junior suite. Smaller room,air con require lesser strength to cool,uses less energy too.
2. Room w/o windows are usually cooler. Smoker room usually has a better ventilation. But most smoker room has windows.
3. Control of in-room temperature is on the wall,not anywhere else. DO NOT MAX IT,but instead put it to nearly maximum.
4. Control of Fan strength of the air-con is at the side of YOUR BED,with some Chinese wordings. There are 3 fan speed button to press and you can even turn off the air-con fan from there,not on the wall switch. This is very important to anyone with air con issues at Formosa.
5. If all else fail,dont be shy...call the reception for a room change even if its middle of the night. Weekdays surely not a problem to change,but Fri ,Sat and Sun almost sure wont have enough to go around.

In my 1st 2 trips in Batam,YES. After that never had any issue at all.(touch wood) The air con is always freezingly cold to some extend that i sometime need to turn it all off in the middle of the night. During day time,most in-room air con are not-so-cold.
Formosa air con problem and toilet cannot flush complains are common issues. 1st thing i check-in to room,i flush the toilet twice 1st to check if its working.
My only problem with Formosa Hotel is that my room is meant for 2 person,but there is always only 1 set of tooth brush,1 set of slipper etc. I think they like me to call them to deliver those things over so they can get the tipping...lol. But i dont do that anymore after my 2nd trip to Batam,i just buy the things i need from the provision shop at the ground floor of the Hotel which is cheaper than tipping them. I am stingy,hehehe...lol.
Oh,one more thing,Formosa uses Darlie tooth paste,the woman version called Hei Mei (black girl),not Hei Ren (black people) toothpaste. Didnt like that too. I only call them for 2 extra Pillows,2 extra towel and 1 extra roll of toilet paper. Occasionally i will ask them to move the massage chair (the one from Kings Massage) to my room too...lol. Cushion massage chair sometime will have bugs,so i need the extra towel as cover sheets.
Last issue i have that no one has ever brought up in this thread regarding Batam's hotel room is,anyone feeling body itchy when/while sleeping naked in bed? Any solution to share beside just going to buy Febreeze from super market to spray on the bed's linen cover?
Thank you...
