“Amazing service that I got from the hotel staff. First time in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and with language barrier, we were struggling on the first day. After getting assistance from the hotel staff who speak English fluently, my family had great time there.”

“This hotel is brand new with huge rooms for Taiwan standards with a low price. The beds are big enough to fit 3 people. They also have a coin operated laundry room with free detergent. Great customer service. They suggested attractions and helped me book a private tour with a taxi. Nice selection of food for their breakfast. The only con is they have a balcony, but you can't go out. Definitely would return.”

“The door at the facilities area (pool/sauna/steam room) shall be able to open/ close automatically since it is an auto door (not sure if it is faulty or they did not turn it on). This is because there are plenty of rooms at that level and the sound of splashing is noisy. Anyway, they do close that area after 10pm but there are people who wish to rest before that time. Those who wish to book Single Room, the room is nice, don't worry. The hotel shall also upload the picture of it as when I book, there is no picture.”

“We stayed at 4 different hotels in Taiwan during a 6 night trip. This was the best hotel we stayed at. I am not sure we would have chosen this one if it was full price, but it was worth the price we got with Agoda.”

“Very nice hotel. You need a car, taxi or scooter to get there. Ideal if you want to be away from traffic and downtown noise. The afternoon tea is vey pleasant. The only issue was the strong cigarette smell in the room, but unfortunately this is a common thing in hotels in Taiwan and it's not the hotel's fault, but the unconscious customers.”

“Kindness Hotel Kaohsiung Main Stn is always our 1st choice of hotel in Taiwan. Their staff are polite and helpful. Breakfast and Supper are excellent with wide spread of food. Location is excellent, just opposite the MRT station. We enjoyed our stay again. ”

“Well Service, well location, well facilities, but the room was not clean enough, especially the windows. Also, too many people during weekend, we need to wait more than 10 mins for the life everyday. I recommend to stay during weekday, and make sure they clean the windows, then it would be a prefect hotel in Taiwan.”

“This being my 9th trip to Taiwan, I have stayed at a number of hotels from 5 star to 3 star. I would rank this as one of the best hotels I have stayed at in Taipei. I had orgininally booked for 3 days but ended up staying a total of 6 days. The location in excellent with the Ximen MRT station exit 5 just outside the hotel. The rooms are very modern and the bed is very comfortable. This is a new hotel and there are still some renovaitons in the lower level but nothing to be a hinderence at all to your stay. I have only some very small comments to make but once again nothing to be overly concerned by. The lip on the shower floor is quite low so the water does not drain away as quick so need to be careful of the water flowing over to the floor. While ther rooms are very spacious there is no where to put your luggage except on the floor maybe the room could have a stand that you can put your luggage on. The breakfast is delivered to your room from an external supplier. Not really to my liking as it was cold. I would have preffered maybe some pastries than the american style that was delivered.. My final comment and this is not a critisicm of this hotel but of most in taiwan. I would like to see an iron and ironing board in the rooms. Overall I must say I was very impressed with this hotel and the staff. I will definately be booking this hotel again on my next trip.”

“It was the perfect start to a girls weekend with my best friend. The staff were helpful and friendly, the room was beautiful even though we got the most basic one, and the cold/hot springs were the best I have ever experienced in a private setting. They pipe the waters directly to your room and your skin feels so wonderful after a nice soak in both tubs. The bathroom gives you an excellent view of your surroundings but also privacy to enjoy yourself. There is also a beautiful infinity pool and outdoor hot spring tub for you to enjoy on a fine day. Nice little special touch was the front desk advising you ( and printing out on your key card envelope) the time of sunrise the next day as they have an excellent reading room where you can view it with a cup of coffee in your hand. Breakfast was one of the best breakfast buffets I have ever had at a hotel! I would strongly recommend this place to anyone travelling in the Yilan area.”

“I fly taiwan few times every year and i came across this hotel becayse of the name of the hotel. So i gave it a ty and surprisingly it is PERFECT for food, PERFECT for shoppings, PERFECT for all public transports and mrt lrt train whatver u call it, and the hotel is super clean and staffs were fluent in english and friendly to all guests and the best thing on top of all these is that this hotel's design is SO AWESOME I AM IMPRESSED like SERIOUSLY IMPRESSED. Will stay here again in three weeks to come and also my following trip after that. Love it to bits”

“It's really nice place with beautiful view. The people here are nice and fast response. I had request three times and they came to my room within 5 minutes. There are few nice restaurant in this hotel (roast duck). It's one of the best roast duck in Taiwan. The room is big and clean with nice sunshine. There is also shopping mall in the same building. ”

“Alishan House provided us with a fabulous stay at a 'must-see' tourist spot in Taiwan. Highlights include: - Value for Money - we were upgraded and had a spacious room, with good views and excellent facilities within the room. We stayed for three nights so had the chance to really appreciate the place, including the rooftop, so we could view the sunset and sunrise. Location - it was good with access to all the nearby walking tracks or access to day trips. The only reason it did not score excellent as there was a reliance on the Hotel's shuttle service to the railway station. Cleanliness - no real issue - the carpet needs steam cleaning otherwise it would have scored it excellent. Staff - were the best we'd experience in Taiwan so far and we have been fortunate overall. We sought advice on tours and general walking information and assistance within the hotel. Facilities - excellent - I particularly appreciated the meal service.”

“Everything in the room including the TV can be controlled with the Ipad, and the breakfast although limited and repeated over 6 mornings, its quite nice. The staff at level 1 are really kind and helped me with my luggage problem. My luggage was damaged and the airlines had to deliver over to my hotel, they require a taiwan phone number etc. The staff was kind enough to ask me for the details, receipt of damage so that they can help me receive my luggage while I toured taipei. They even lend me a phone to call the company and did not charge me for it. In the end, I got my lugagge and when I check out the staff even comment "ohhhh, you got your luggage" with a kind tone:) Im pretty sure they are short staffed but they are really hardworking and try their very best to make sure your stay here is great! The Housekeeping is damn irritating. At 9.50am they try to open your door and then knock on your door and insist that you open your door, give a demand tone "Do you want Housekeeping?"”

“This is the first hot spring hotel I stayed in Yilan and it was one of the best I stayed from my trips in recent years. Everything is perfect is except the hotel is a bit too dark (maybe that is concept of this hotel) but sometimes it gives me a creep😅 Cleanliness: the room is extremely clean and organized when we first arrived. We stayed for two nights and every day we came back with everything as new. The floor is vacuumed nicely without any visible dirt. Room: the room was bigger than we expected. The bed was big and comfortable. The design of the room is well thought out where the hot spring tub is just at the patio. In between there is a toilet and shower room. My fiancé and I had a good sleep hearing no noise from other rooms. Staff: the staff are very friendly and professional. They always greet us when they have the chance. Even though a few staff don't speak good English, they did try their best to communicate with us. That is something we really appreciate. Thank-you! Facility: the breakfast was included and it was one of the best we had in recent trips. It is located at the second top floor of the building and it is a like buffet style. Every day it is a little bit different. They offer tons of selection from fruits, salad, hot food, cold food, drink, soups, drinks and breads. The food is so good that we didn't miss any. The top of the building has a few swimming pools for you to enjoy. The hotel offers snacks, movie, and wine in different times so be sure to take advantage of that. Overall: my fiancé and I will give this hotel 9.5/10 because we really love our stay here. Although we didn't do much in Yilan, we were totally relaxed and enjoyed our stay. We really want to take this opportunity to say a big thank-you to the staff for such good services. We will definitely be coming back if we come to YiLan”

“This was our family's first trip to Taiwan and we were recommended this hotel by a friend who had just visited. Booked a slightly bigger room as we had two children in tow. Was expecting the hotel to insist that we added another bed but was pleasantly surprised that they didn't as our older child is only 8 years old and could use the sofa as her bed. The room was meticulously clean upon our arrival, everything in its place and felt cosy without being cramp. Perfect for a small family for our 4 nights' stay. When it came time to explore the city of Taipei, we found that the MRT station was just across the road! Such convenience. Also, just barely 50 paces away, there is a 7 eleven, and slightly further a Starbucks outlet. Superb! Daily breakfast was a buffet style spread of western and local asian fare. As our room came only with 2 adult breakfasts, we paid 1 child breakfast for our 2 kids. They waived the younger child's portion which was nice. Overall, this was the best possible introduction we could have had to the lovely country of Taiwan. We'll be back for more!”

“This hotel is located at a corner of the crowded shopping paradise - Ximending. I had stayed here many years ago and in this revisit, it has been renovated. This room is clean and tidy. The room size is comfortably big as compared to many other hotels. Free bottled water, canned drinks and simple snacks are provided in the room when I checked in. Airconditioning is adjustable to suit one's comfort, though a little noisy. The frontdesk and housekeeping staff are helpful and polite. When I requested for a room on higher floor, the frontdesk immediately made the change without any question asked. There are good varieties for breakfast in the cosy restaurant and an excellent coffee machine. I have stayed in many hotels in Taiwan, I will rate this hotel as "A" among hotels of its price range.”

“This was one of the best hotel I have stayed in Taipei so far. I am really impressed by the service that they provide to their customers. A wonderful encounter for both my boyfriend and I was that we were scheduled for an early morning flight the next day back to Singapore. During our booking for a cab that would send us there, JustSLEEP front desk asked if we would need breakfast prepared. We were taken aback as never has a hotel offered such a service before. At first we thought they would only prepare a bun or something for us but no, the bag was filled with croissants, buns, juice and fruits. We were totally impressed with their service and thoughtfulness for their customers. Would definitely recommend this hotel to my family and friends who are heading to Taiwan for their holidays. 5 stars for service!”

“My wife and I loved the Chateau Beach Resort! Beach access and pool were great. It was great to step out onto the beach and relax, plus have an easy walk to the Kenting night market scene. Rooms were a great value, especially booking through Agoda. Breakfast was included, and had a wide variety of Taiwan and western choices. Stayed before, stayed now & will stay again!”

“I learnt Palais de Chine Hotel through Agoda.com. I saw the location and the reviewed were all very good. I booked and stay in Palais de Chine Hotel. I was so impressed with the interior design, the classic and modern contemporary style which qualified to name it under 5 stars hotel or above. I will definately stay in this hotel again for sure for my next business trip. The staffs and food serve in the hotel was excellent, especially their Beef Noodle (must order to try this out since this is the hotel STAR food). The soup and ingredient cooked was so tasty and I eat it everyday.... I certainly and definately recommend business travelers to stay and experience the hotel. Best is their locality. The hotel based in an excellent location with lines of TAXI waiting just 10 steps from the hotel and next to the hotel is the luxurious and best shopping mall. I visited the mall and tasted the Hong Kong restaurant. I took my lunch and dinner at this restaurant. The price is affordable and the food serve is healthy and non-oily. I must visit them again. Travellers, please stay in this hotel to experience the luxury lifestyle and modern layout.”

“The staff at the Hyatt were perhaps the best we encountered during our three week tour of China and Taiwan. They went out of their way to help. The hotel was comfortable and had everything that we needed. I would go back to this hotel if I was ever in Taipei”

“It's defiantly the best resort/hotel for families to stay in Hualien! I booked a Loft room at this hotel while we can see lagoon from the balcony and smell the spring's coming. This resort is in a good location where is not far from most attractions by driving... It's recommended to have massage after the day out in a responsible price!”

“This is a super cozy, super nice hotel and great services provided. Credits to all the staff on my 2-days stay in this hotel! Room is big, MRT station just outside, and super huge bath tub, as normally the bath tub in all the hotel I stayed in Taiwan do not have this size of bath tub in their hotel, and I am 178cm tall. Good! Thankful they provide us baby cot for my 1 year old baby. They even invited us to go up to their conference room for a nice cup of coffee and some nice biscuits. Will go and stay again at Park Taipei Hotel. My best hotel in my while trip of Taipei!”

“We arrived with the intention of spending one night doing a tour of the local attractions on arrival then checking into the hotel and leaving the next day. However due to the bad weather we had to extend the visit to two nights. They upgraded us to a suite as there was no availability for the extra night in a double. The staff were faboulous and the place was so clean. Been on a private tour of Taiwan and speaking English has been an issue but not here...!!! Best hotel we have stayed in Taiwan and not the most expensive. Its a pleasant walk to the night market which is also great. My wife reckons that's the best breakfast buffet we have had. Its just very very good ..!,”

“the hotel is located at the best location in Riyue tan with breath taking view. The hotel is decorated with good taste and staff is friendly. One area that needs improvement is the swimming pool area in 12F, we visited the pool on Apr 16, we found the dead frog and leafs floating in the hot pool, we mentioned to the staff, he ignored us and continued to play his cell phone. In my view, the swimming pool is one of selling point of the hotel, this area should be well maintained, at least the staff should clean it before opening to the public.”

“OMG! It was more than perfect! I am always picky when I chose accommodation provider for my baby. This time I travelled alone with my 22 month toddler, we stayed for 3 nights, I was only expecting somewhere simple and relaxing, as an ending of our Taiwan trip. But the resort gave us such an amazing arrangement much more than expectation. Actually I started to consult about shuttle bus and some other details months before our trip. The staff wrote me back helpful information always quickly. They even arranged us kids’ hotel without request, it was so kids friendly environment, we were in kitty room, my boy was big fan of fur babies. He was crazy about it! From the shuttle bus driver, the receptionist, the show performer, the event organizer...every staff here was so nice and polite, always with big smiles and ready to help! All facilities are considered and designed so nicely, I love their events and interactions with kids, so did my little shy puppy guy. But due to his age, there are still lots of funs yet to explore, but absolutely we will be back here again! For me, it was a Clubmed in Taiwan local version!”

“My family and I were visiting from the US. I chose this particular Naruwan hotel for it's amenities that accommodate families with small children. As for location, you are just a 5 minute drive from the Taitung airport or Railway station. The hotel provides complimentary shuttle to the airport and railway station if you arrange ahead of time. The game room is excellent for children of all ages. There are video games, foos ball, table tennis, billiards, a toddler playground, and basketball video game etc. My son had blast every time! I would give the staff 10 stars if I could. Very friendly and accommodating. From the front desk, to bell hop, housekeeping to the restaurant staff, everybody was helpful and had a great attitude. Our room came with complimentary buffet everyday. The selection was great and most importantly was delicious. I ordered from the cafe a few times as we were too tired to go out to eat. The food was good too. Also around the corner from the hotel are a few local places to eat. One vegetarian spot was clean and delicious. Plenty of boba and tea shops as well as a Family mart and 7-11. My only disappointment would have been the hot spring facility. Two of the 3 sections for the hot spring were cold. The only hot tubs where in the back of the facility and I believe the temperature gages were not accurate. The two tubs we went in showed similar readings around 34.4 Celsius, but felt completely different in temps. I prefer hot baths so I was a bit chilly. My husband prefers luke warm water so it was perfect for him. Due to the weather we did not get to enjoy the pool, but it looked nice and one of the few hotels in Taitung with a pool. Overall I could not be happier with the hotel selection. Should they ever remodel the pool or health spa, this would definitely be a 5 star resort across the board. I will definitely be back if I'm in Taitung!”

“Expensive but it is good Hotel in Taiwan, Relax, breadfast with good varieties, Room with good size and modern deco. But beach not good & samll, and pool is normal! But with good playing centre”

“This hostel is located near Tunghai Night market, which means food can be reached easily. Public transports is also easily accessible. Convenient stores are also located nearby. Only the washroom is a little too small. ”

“The staff is wonderful. He is really friendly and approachable, always available to answer our questions and provide tips for our stay. He even planned a whole itinerary for us, making sure we always have activities on our list. There's also a water dispenser and loads of snacks at the reception area, all free to use! Also, the room is clean, the bathroom is spacious, and most of the things you need are provided! The environment is peaceful and quiet, however you will still be able to hang out and chit chat with other travelers if you're lucky to bump into them at the cozy reception area! The location is great! They provide an affordable rental service for electric bikes (no riding license required) at Time House, so it was a breeze to get around! There is also a Bus Station a short walk away, where buses are available to take you to other areas in Taiwan. My boyfriend and I had so much fun in Ken Ting, and we both want to thank Ao Hua for making our stay so comfortable and easy! We will definitely be staying there again the next time we visit Ken Ting!”

“The hostel is well managed and quality is provided whenever it can be applied. For example, hand washing liquid throughout the hostel are branded anti-bacteria type versus wholesaled ones normally found in hostel at this price, this is quality. Another example is the lockers, absolutely huge and definitely the largest that I've seen in any hostel, you can comfortable fit an 65L trekking pack with no problem, quality. Yet one more example is that the hostel has high-end Samsung aircon versus cheap ones, result in steady room temperature without much noise, quality. The hostel is in an old building that was carefully renovated to extract functionality, this resulted in a comfortable space perfect for having a good rest. This is just like its owner, a middle aged Taiwanese gentleman, that gives you an reliable and helpful impression when you first meet him. In general this hostel do not compromise on quality, like Wifi, localtion, common room, shower etc. this is not a hostel with smartass design and luxurious interior, but it is what you'd expect from 9+ scored hostel, it does what it should very well.”

“Staffs were helpful and kind..Will surely stay here again when i come back to Taiwan..Really close to MRT stations and Ximending is just 15mins slow walk..maybe if you're a fast walker it's just 8-10mins walk..Also, take note that they are turning off the aircon at 11am maybe because it's their cleaning time also..Overall, we had a great stay..👍👌👍👌”

“The best room I ever stay at hualien. The room are clean and owner provided facilities as much as possible such as free bicycle, laundry services, etc. The staff are helpful and location are convenient. The service are provided as promised. ”

“The staff is very friendly and helpful, it's one of cheapest hostel I got in three months in taiwan. 100 metres from the beach and neighbor to the best restaurant in Nanwan”

“I staied here for 4 nights and it's really close to the train station but not to the center. The owner is really nice but the have just one bathroom so it's pretty uncomfortable, always waiting to use it. ”

“The place take some time to find but its situated inside a building located at 8th floor. Dongmen station exit 6 (Staircase) or 7(elevator), walk around 5 minutes search for the place in a building will do. Public transport just a road across from the building while mrt is right of the building. For this trip, I've booked a quad room with shared bathroom (double bed bunk bed). When i checked in, they said the room the overbooked, so they upgraded me from 5 single bunk bed room to a twin bed room with washroom. The place feels modern and comfortable. I recommended this place!!!!”

“Travelled around Taiwan for three weeks and LivePal is undoubtedly the best value for money hostel. Good location - MRT/TRA, Wufenpu clothes market, Raohe night market and eateries. Shampoo, bodywash and handsoap is provided in bathing areas. Free hot/cold water, tea/coffee available in A/C kitchen/common area. Rooms are of mixed variety - bunks, capsules, not all rooms have lockers so be sure to book/request one with lockers. Manager was very nice in upgrading me to room with locker when requested.”

“5-10 minutes walking distance from hualien train station. well decorated, clean room. easy self-check in system. and warmth greeting by host through messages beforehead. family happy with the stay.”

“Location is really fantastic, just 1 min walk to fengjia night market. You couldn't even hear any noises of fengjia from your room. Room is generally clean, only cons is the wall partition is too thin, so it did affect me slightly (I'm a super light sleeper). But well - can't blame them as most of the accommodation/ hotels in taiwan is the same. Oh yes, there's no lift here too, so for those w elderly, you might wish to request for lower level. (We need to carry out super big heavy luggage to level 3). Staff is generally helpful too. Overall, I would come back and book here again if I were to come back to fengjia.”

“I traveled taiwan 7.11-7.14 I stayed oxygen hostel, there is very nice place. It has clean room and shower booth and bathroom. Best place is 5th floor that we can talk about travel or eat something. 1th floor bar is good place to take a beer and talk with friends. All staff is very kind to us. They helped us find our destination. Oxygen hostel is the best place that I've ever been”

“Pros: - near the mrt ximen - affordable - accommodating staffs (they are so nice) they can speak english - the lounge )where you can eat with free coffee, tea and water - it has also laundry area/ service Cons: - no elevator (it’s okay if you are really just a backpacker but if you have a big luggage, struggle is real) but staffs are offerring a help. - there is an additional pay if you check in 11pm-6am depends on the time. We arrived there at 4am and it is closed and there’s no way you can enter,only guests with card key can enter. We don’t have the key yet since we haven’t checked in. Luckily for us, there’s a guy outside (he’s taking a phone a call) he let us borrow his key card then upon entering, there is no staff to accommodate us. There’s a phone number you can contact but we don’t have sim card yet for taiwan. Then the heaven sent guy called the number using his phone, we are so relieved that it was answered coz we are really tired that time. We are really thankful.”

“Had a fairly decent stay here, the staff were big on cleanliness and did their best to help. For some English wasn't a strength but they were still very kind. Good place to meet other travellers particularly from Asia. Only had a couple of minor complaints: because I had booked each of my nights separately one of the staff accidentally cleared the stuff from my bed when I was out. They left a note of apology and replaced almost everything (plus a free luggage tag - which I didn't need) except my sleeping mask :'( when I asked about it they left another note saying they couldn't find it and were sorry. This time they left two little snickers bars which I didn't want (as I'm vegan). The other thing is that the shower temperature was very sensitive. However, very close to Guangzhou Rd street market and Longshan, so it was OK.”

“I never expected a little bit of luxury experience with Angels Hostel Taipei Ximen! I was super happy I booked and stayed with them. Though it was a shared bedroom with other travelers, I felt my belongings are very secured with their individual card type access! I will definitely recommend this place to my friends if they are looking for the best and affordable accommodation in Taipei, Taiwan!”

“We are family of 7. We stayed here comfortably. The family mart, 7-11, ningxa night market and starbucks are near the hotel. But the MRT’s were a bit far but its okay we enjoyed walking going there. Also, the mrt station near the hotel is ONE RIDE only going to taoyuan airport. It’s a plus point. No need to transfer line. What I loved the most in this hotel is the UNLIMITED MILKTEA AND BOTTLED WATER. They gave us bottled waters GENEROUSLY. ❤️ Also, the security of the building where the hotel is found was so tight. And it’s good because you will really feel that you are secured 24/7. If you will go to your room just go to the reception first and ask assistance from the staff. It’s not hassle. The reception is located outside near the entrance of the building. To Ms. Annie & friends, thank you for the warm welcome. Thank you for accomodating us and for all the help. You made our stay in Taiwan a lot easier. We will come again soon. Xie xie ❤️”

“I had a double room and paid the price that I usually pay for a dorm in Taiwan. I was pleasantly surprised. The room is spacious and clean. There are freebies like tea, coffee, toiletries and even condoms! There is a laundry room where you can wash and dry your clothes for a good price. They give you laundry powder, usually I always have to pay. They lend bicycles for free. Some are not in really good condition, but it's fine for short distances. The free breakfast is amazing, the best included breakfast I had in Taiwan. There are many choices and the hot meals change everyday. Honestly, this is the best value for money I had in Taiwan. Strongly recommended!”

“The place is walking distance to Zhongshan Station MRT. You can also walk Taipei main station for the airport train express. The hostel offers included breakfast of ham and egg sandwich with seasonal fruits and a hot orccold drink. The reception is also cozy where you can dine or chat with friends, watch tv while surfing the web. As per the toilet and shower, it’s shared but there are enough shower and toilet rooms. You can also wash and dry your clothes with a fee; towel is also with a fee of 30NTD with a 50NTD deposit. It is a good value for money though you there is a need for air freshener in the rooms. If ever you come early or leave late for check-out, you can leave your luggages in the reception area while you can go tour aorund taiwan. Thank you strabox hostel.”

“The view of villa is quite good,and all the stuff in the house is tidy and clean as well.So much fun for u to stay and enjoy here.Highly recommand for family trip.”

“The place was a bit old but it was really clean!! The bed was so comfy and the air-conditioner works perfectly fine (cool and nice in the room) The staffs were so friendly and let me to stored my luggage before the check-in time :) And the location was so closed to Kaohsiung train station which gives this good place another extra points :) 7-11 is located beside the hostel. Everything is perfect so don’t hesitate to make the booking!”

“Great location, and cheap. Probably the cheapest that you can find in the neighbourhood. Tips from my experience are that if you're booking a double room when you book it request for the room in 3rd floor. Better room, and will totally change your experience of staying. Trust me. There is a catch though, it is a no-staff hotel (but the staff on the phone are very helpful if you have any question). Which means, you will have to do the check-in at the machine at the hotel lobby (it is not really a lobby, just a hall in the building across from a salon) Could be tricky to find the hotel since there isn't ant signboard, you really have to pay attention to the address and the number. It's very close to metro, and shops and ximending (if it's your first time to Taipei, it's a convenient area to be at. easy access to almost everything you need. Especially LGBT traveller.)”

“Thank you, Paul and Madeline, who made my stay special! They took care of me each minute and helped me organizing my daytrips as well as my further travel plan. Got a really good impression of Taiwanese life and food thanks to them! The hostel is good located between train station and city center. It is a nice common area and very clean. Unfortunately there were not many travellers (as is true for whole Taiwan...), but with Paul and Madeline, that didn’t matter :) would definitely come back!!”

“The hostel itself is fantastic, close to the night market, really nice owner, clean as can be, just unfortunate dorm mates weren't as friendly, maybe not the best hostel for socializing, but everything else, especially for Solo travelers, is on point.”

“Thus hotel is standard Taiwan local hotel. You may be embarassed when you come into the room because it's a little bit different from the picture on agoda. But cleaness was excellent. The typical ventilation problem happening in these hotel didn't exist. No stincky in toliet. Though the staffs English is not good, but they could understand if you say slow and correctly”

“the hotel was big and clear. and the sense of comfort and relax given by the hotel really added a huge portions of marks for this hotel. the staffs was nice and helpful. the most importantly the location was awesome! I love this hotel do bcuz the bed was really big and comfort so we did enjoyed a good rest in here. highly recommend this hotel !!! I'll book this hotel again in my future visit to TAIWAN. I'm looking forward for tat”

“This is the first time I have been so much satisfied like this. We are a group of 3 boys and 3 girls. At fist, because there were only 3 beds in mixed room, and 3 beds in girl room on the Agoda booking system, so we had to be separated. However, I decided to call the NEOSOHO Cabin and asked if they could arrange us to stay together in 1 room. And yeah! My requirement was quickly accepted. We had the best hotel ever. I mean EVER. The location was awesome, the cleanliness was of high standard, the staff was friendly and helpful, the facilities were well-equipped. They deserve 5 stars for this service. Highly recommended.”

“Staying on your own or with friends, it's a good choice. Room is quite tiny , if fully booked. People are nice, but for non- Chinese speaker it can get a bit tricky. Here you stay in the house with the family, including a young child and a baby. Kitchen can be used as well as the washing machine. Very close to the bus and train station, very far from the city.”

“Me and my partner loved Taiwan. We had a really nice stay here at this Hostel. Place was clean and quite. Well maintained with friendly and accomodating staff. Located in between two train stations which you can walk for 5 mins. Location wise its in the middle of the city but is situated in a very quite area. I recommend the place for tourist who are looking into staying on a cheap but really nice place! 😁👌”

“Amazing service that I got from the hotel staff. First time in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and with language barrier, we were struggling on the first day. After getting assistance from the hotel staff who speak English fluently, my family had great time there.”

“Well Service, well location, well facilities, but the room was not clean enough, especially the windows. Also, too many people during weekend, we need to wait more than 10 mins for the life everyday. I recommend to stay during weekday, and make sure they clean the windows, then it would be a prefect hotel in Taiwan.”

“It's really nice place with beautiful view. The people here are nice and fast response. I had request three times and they came to my room within 5 minutes. There are few nice restaurant in this hotel (roast duck). It's one of the best roast duck in Taiwan. The room is big and clean with nice sunshine. There is also shopping mall in the same building. ”

“This was our family's first trip to Taiwan and we were recommended this hotel by a friend who had just visited. Booked a slightly bigger room as we had two children in tow. Was expecting the hotel to insist that we added another bed but was pleasantly surprised that they didn't as our older child is only 8 years old and could use the sofa as her bed. The room was meticulously clean upon our arrival, everything in its place and felt cosy without being cramp. Perfect for a small family for our 4 nights' stay. When it came time to explore the city of Taipei, we found that the MRT station was just across the road! Such convenience. Also, just barely 50 paces away, there is a 7 eleven, and slightly further a Starbucks outlet. Superb! Daily breakfast was a buffet style spread of western and local asian fare. As our room came only with 2 adult breakfasts, we paid 1 child breakfast for our 2 kids. They waived the younger child's portion which was nice. Overall, this was the best possible introduction we could have had to the lovely country of Taiwan. We'll be back for more!”

“My wife and I loved the Chateau Beach Resort! Beach access and pool were great. It was great to step out onto the beach and relax, plus have an easy walk to the Kenting night market scene. Rooms were a great value, especially booking through Agoda. Breakfast was included, and had a wide variety of Taiwan and western choices. Stayed before, stayed now & will stay again!”

“I learnt Palais de Chine Hotel through Agoda.com. I saw the location and the reviewed were all very good. I booked and stay in Palais de Chine Hotel. I was so impressed with the interior design, the classic and modern contemporary style which qualified to name it under 5 stars hotel or above. I will definately stay in this hotel again for sure for my next business trip. The staffs and food serve in the hotel was excellent, especially their Beef Noodle (must order to try this out since this is the hotel STAR food). The soup and ingredient cooked was so tasty and I eat it everyday.... I certainly and definately recommend business travelers to stay and experience the hotel. Best is their locality. The hotel based in an excellent location with lines of TAXI waiting just 10 steps from the hotel and next to the hotel is the luxurious and best shopping mall. I visited the mall and tasted the Hong Kong restaurant. I took my lunch and dinner at this restaurant. The price is affordable and the food serve is healthy and non-oily. I must visit them again. Travellers, please stay in this hotel to experience the luxury lifestyle and modern layout.”

“The staff at the Hyatt were perhaps the best we encountered during our three week tour of China and Taiwan. They went out of their way to help. The hotel was comfortable and had everything that we needed. I would go back to this hotel if I was ever in Taipei”

“It's defiantly the best resort/hotel for families to stay in Hualien! I booked a Loft room at this hotel while we can see lagoon from the balcony and smell the spring's coming. This resort is in a good location where is not far from most attractions by driving... It's recommended to have massage after the day out in a responsible price!”

“the hotel is located at the best location in Riyue tan with breath taking view. The hotel is decorated with good taste and staff is friendly. One area that needs improvement is the swimming pool area in 12F, we visited the pool on Apr 16, we found the dead frog and leafs floating in the hot pool, we mentioned to the staff, he ignored us and continued to play his cell phone. In my view, the swimming pool is one of selling point of the hotel, this area should be well maintained, at least the staff should clean it before opening to the public.”

“OMG! It was more than perfect! I am always picky when I chose accommodation provider for my baby. This time I travelled alone with my 22 month toddler, we stayed for 3 nights, I was only expecting somewhere simple and relaxing, as an ending of our Taiwan trip. But the resort gave us such an amazing arrangement much more than expectation. Actually I started to consult about shuttle bus and some other details months before our trip. The staff wrote me back helpful information always quickly. They even arranged us kids’ hotel without request, it was so kids friendly environment, we were in kitty room, my boy was big fan of fur babies. He was crazy about it! From the shuttle bus driver, the receptionist, the show performer, the event organizer...every staff here was so nice and polite, always with big smiles and ready to help! All facilities are considered and designed so nicely, I love their events and interactions with kids, so did my little shy puppy guy. But due to his age, there are still lots of funs yet to explore, but absolutely we will be back here again! For me, it was a Clubmed in Taiwan local version!”

“My family and I were visiting from the US. I chose this particular Naruwan hotel for it's amenities that accommodate families with small children. As for location, you are just a 5 minute drive from the Taitung airport or Railway station. The hotel provides complimentary shuttle to the airport and railway station if you arrange ahead of time. The game room is excellent for children of all ages. There are video games, foos ball, table tennis, billiards, a toddler playground, and basketball video game etc. My son had blast every time! I would give the staff 10 stars if I could. Very friendly and accommodating. From the front desk, to bell hop, housekeeping to the restaurant staff, everybody was helpful and had a great attitude. Our room came with complimentary buffet everyday. The selection was great and most importantly was delicious. I ordered from the cafe a few times as we were too tired to go out to eat. The food was good too. Also around the corner from the hotel are a few local places to eat. One vegetarian spot was clean and delicious. Plenty of boba and tea shops as well as a Family mart and 7-11. My only disappointment would have been the hot spring facility. Two of the 3 sections for the hot spring were cold. The only hot tubs where in the back of the facility and I believe the temperature gages were not accurate. The two tubs we went in showed similar readings around 34.4 Celsius, but felt completely different in temps. I prefer hot baths so I was a bit chilly. My husband prefers luke warm water so it was perfect for him. Due to the weather we did not get to enjoy the pool, but it looked nice and one of the few hotels in Taitung with a pool. Overall I could not be happier with the hotel selection. Should they ever remodel the pool or health spa, this would definitely be a 5 star resort across the board. I will definitely be back if I'm in Taitung!”

“Expensive but it is good Hotel in Taiwan, Relax, breadfast with good varieties, Room with good size and modern deco. But beach not good & samll, and pool is normal! But with good playing centre”

“We stayed with 3 other families and this is the best and fun experience we had in JiaoXi, we stayed at other five stars hotel before but Mu has everything and the most important is that it is such a kid friendly hotel that also uncles the best art gallery for adults to enjoy! Foods are good too! ”

“Good as always. One of the best business hotels in town. Best breakfast buffet in Taiwan. Rooms are comfortable, checking in is fast. Always a pleasure to stay here. You get the quality you expect and pay for. ”

“It was my first hot spring experience in Taiwan. After I stayed several hot spring hotels in Japan, I didn't expect too much in Taiwan. I was wrong. Evergreen Resort hotel in Taiwan was far better than I expected. Hot spring in my room with the view, good red with snack, my husband and I had a very relaxed weekend. I will come back again.”

“very good hotel. great service. Great location. I personally think it was in a better location than the W and meridien and it's also cheaper ! food is great. The japanese and chinese restaurants have michelin signs , and there were quite good (although no cheap). many places around to shop and eat. You won't be disappoint. This is taiwan hotel mixed with japanese service mindset will give you a great stay.”

“You need to stay In LIN hotel when you plan to Taiwan ! It’s best .”

“This is my five time in Taiwan but my first time at a five-star taiwan hotel. When I arrived at the hotel lobby, the first thing that came to my mind is: the worth is greater than the price. Location It's just a bit out of the Ximending region, in this way I can enjoy tranquility of my stay. Lobby and hotel room The lobby is of subtle luxury. You will always see Japanese tourists and businesmen there. And I have to use my room card to get to my floor so security is ensured. The hotel room is large with a decorated foyer. High ceiling, well equipped bathroom with deep bath tub and shower area, free newspaper. Activities Nest to the swimming pool is a Hot-and-Ice pool (it's soothing and exciting) and a fitness center all free to hotel guests. And for outing there is a Guanghua Shopping Mall about 15 min walk where you can have a budget lunch at the food court. I will definitely recommend this hotel to my friends who are willing to spend for high-quality hotels.”

“We booked this room to stopover between Hualien and Kenting. The hotel is located along highway 9. We booked two nights. It was low season, so not a lot was happening. The breakfast restaurant wasn't open the first morning, so as service the breakfast was offered with roomservice. The 2nd morning there were a lot of tourists and the buffet was open. The buffet was big and had lots of options. We also ate in the western restaurant, also no buffet available. The only option was a 5 course dinner, the service was great and also the food was good. The room was big and a bit cold ( outside temp 15C in beginning of January), but you can use the airconditioning as heater. The sheets were really delicate and nice and the beds were soft.”

“Just as good as each time here! Hopefully this hotel-bookstore of good taste & quality can well recognized as a new Taiwan benchmark of this ove-polluted by politics city/country! You can see the real Taiwan-Chinese beauty here! Highly recommended! ”

“If you're looking for a private hotel room that has a 4 or 5 star feeling, this is your best value under $100 US (if you want cheap and limited service, then spend $50 or less somewhere else). Staff is friendly and helpful, everyone speaks English, and they convert money at the counter with no extra fees. Perfect location, on the same side at the Taipei Main Station bus terminal. The room was perfect, but just a little small (which is normal for cheaper hotel rooms in this area). Good for 1 or 2 people. I booked the standard no window but got a lucky free upgrade. The room has nice furnishings, was clean, didn't feel old or used up. Everything worked, and there were many small items and details for use (DVD player, shoe polishers, etc.) It felt like a lot of comfort in a small room. If you like breakfast, book it on the website because it's twice as expensive if you buy at the hotel. I would stay here again. Caesar Park is slightly more expensive for the same thing.”

“Good facilities . Even the weather was not very nice, we had a good time staying here. One of the best hotels in Taiwan.”

“I stayed in W Hotel for 1 night as I was moving around Taiwan for the past couple of days. This hotel location is perfect as it sits direct above the MRT and Bus station. The staffs are all very friendly and the service level is very good. The rooms are very spacious and very refreshing. The bed is very comfortable and everything about this hotel is just perfect. I can't think of anything flaw of this hotel and I would definitely recommend to come back to stay here again...”

“The staff at Silks Place were totally amazing, the best. They were polite, friendly and went out of their way to help me when I had a problem with my Taiwan sim card. I want to mentions Milly, Joe, Ryan and Jason in particular who all made me want to return as soon as I can. The hotel is beautifully designed and my room was beautiful. It was a wonderful introduction to a most interesting city.”

“It was our first time visiting Taiwan and our very first hotel in Taiwan. What a wonderful hotel with excellent staffs and services! The only little disappointment was they were remodeling or it was the off season, the exercise rooms and the pool were closed. We want give a special Thank You to Joanne Pan, Reservation Department, a lady that we had never met. We booked our own airfares and our hotels by ourselves for the first time. We had never travel to Asia before so we got the times all wrong. It was our mistakes that the bookings was wrong but we will learn from this in the future. Anyways, Joanne help us get a refund back from Agoda.com. We know this was not easy to do because it is Agoda No- Refundable Policy. The Taiwanese are so honest and we believe that they do not like cheating their customers. Another special thanks to Scottie and Matt, concierge services, for helping us prepare maps and destinations for Taiwan. They went to extreme length to help us.”

“Easily one of the nicest hotels I've stayed in in Taiwan (and possibly worldwide). My family loved the comfort and the perfect view of the Pacific Ocean you can get from your balcony. The hotel is very well-maintained despite being right next to the ocean. The beach is literally at your doorstep and it makes for the perfect getaway from city life. The staff were really helpful and advised us on food and activities options because the hotel is so out of the way. Overall, the stay was fantastic and was a highlight of our trip!”

“This hotel is brand new with huge rooms for Taiwan standards with a low price. The beds are big enough to fit 3 people. They also have a coin operated laundry room with free detergent. Great customer service. They suggested attractions and helped me book a private tour with a taxi. Nice selection of food for their breakfast. The only con is they have a balcony, but you can't go out. Definitely would return.”

“We stayed at 4 different hotels in Taiwan during a 6 night trip. This was the best hotel we stayed at. I am not sure we would have chosen this one if it was full price, but it was worth the price we got with Agoda.”

“This being my 9th trip to Taiwan, I have stayed at a number of hotels from 5 star to 3 star. I would rank this as one of the best hotels I have stayed at in Taipei. I had orgininally booked for 3 days but ended up staying a total of 6 days. The location in excellent with the Ximen MRT station exit 5 just outside the hotel. The rooms are very modern and the bed is very comfortable. This is a new hotel and there are still some renovaitons in the lower level but nothing to be a hinderence at all to your stay. I have only some very small comments to make but once again nothing to be overly concerned by. The lip on the shower floor is quite low so the water does not drain away as quick so need to be careful of the water flowing over to the floor. While ther rooms are very spacious there is no where to put your luggage except on the floor maybe the room could have a stand that you can put your luggage on. The breakfast is delivered to your room from an external supplier. Not really to my liking as it was cold. I would have preffered maybe some pastries than the american style that was delivered.. My final comment and this is not a critisicm of this hotel but of most in taiwan. I would like to see an iron and ironing board in the rooms. Overall I must say I was very impressed with this hotel and the staff. I will definately be booking this hotel again on my next trip.”

“It was the perfect start to a girls weekend with my best friend. The staff were helpful and friendly, the room was beautiful even though we got the most basic one, and the cold/hot springs were the best I have ever experienced in a private setting. They pipe the waters directly to your room and your skin feels so wonderful after a nice soak in both tubs. The bathroom gives you an excellent view of your surroundings but also privacy to enjoy yourself. There is also a beautiful infinity pool and outdoor hot spring tub for you to enjoy on a fine day. Nice little special touch was the front desk advising you ( and printing out on your key card envelope) the time of sunrise the next day as they have an excellent reading room where you can view it with a cup of coffee in your hand. Breakfast was one of the best breakfast buffets I have ever had at a hotel! I would strongly recommend this place to anyone travelling in the Yilan area.”

“I fly taiwan few times every year and i came across this hotel becayse of the name of the hotel. So i gave it a ty and surprisingly it is PERFECT for food, PERFECT for shoppings, PERFECT for all public transports and mrt lrt train whatver u call it, and the hotel is super clean and staffs were fluent in english and friendly to all guests and the best thing on top of all these is that this hotel's design is SO AWESOME I AM IMPRESSED like SERIOUSLY IMPRESSED. Will stay here again in three weeks to come and also my following trip after that. Love it to bits”

“Definitely a must-stay when you are in Alishan. The lodge is in the middle of the nature reserve with well-maintained boardwalk, suitable even for elderly. The hotel comes with half board (breakfast and dinner). Just nice for the family to have bonding time over the table of nice food. Both buffet style meals are the best spread I have in taiwan.”

“Everything in the room including the TV can be controlled with the Ipad, and the breakfast although limited and repeated over 6 mornings, its quite nice. The staff at level 1 are really kind and helped me with my luggage problem. My luggage was damaged and the airlines had to deliver over to my hotel, they require a taiwan phone number etc. The staff was kind enough to ask me for the details, receipt of damage so that they can help me receive my luggage while I toured taipei. They even lend me a phone to call the company and did not charge me for it. In the end, I got my lugagge and when I check out the staff even comment "ohhhh, you got your luggage" with a kind tone:) Im pretty sure they are short staffed but they are really hardworking and try their very best to make sure your stay here is great! The Housekeeping is damn irritating. At 9.50am they try to open your door and then knock on your door and insist that you open your door, give a demand tone "Do you want Housekeeping?"”

“This hotel is located at a corner of the crowded shopping paradise - Ximending. I had stayed here many years ago and in this revisit, it has been renovated. This room is clean and tidy. The room size is comfortably big as compared to many other hotels. Free bottled water, canned drinks and simple snacks are provided in the room when I checked in. Airconditioning is adjustable to suit one's comfort, though a little noisy. The frontdesk and housekeeping staff are helpful and polite. When I requested for a room on higher floor, the frontdesk immediately made the change without any question asked. There are good varieties for breakfast in the cosy restaurant and an excellent coffee machine. I have stayed in many hotels in Taiwan, I will rate this hotel as "A" among hotels of its price range.”

“This was one of the best hotel I have stayed in Taipei so far. I am really impressed by the service that they provide to their customers. A wonderful encounter for both my boyfriend and I was that we were scheduled for an early morning flight the next day back to Singapore. During our booking for a cab that would send us there, JustSLEEP front desk asked if we would need breakfast prepared. We were taken aback as never has a hotel offered such a service before. At first we thought they would only prepare a bun or something for us but no, the bag was filled with croissants, buns, juice and fruits. We were totally impressed with their service and thoughtfulness for their customers. Would definitely recommend this hotel to my family and friends who are heading to Taiwan for their holidays. 5 stars for service!”

“This is a super cozy, super nice hotel and great services provided. Credits to all the staff on my 2-days stay in this hotel! Room is big, MRT station just outside, and super huge bath tub, as normally the bath tub in all the hotel I stayed in Taiwan do not have this size of bath tub in their hotel, and I am 178cm tall. Good! Thankful they provide us baby cot for my 1 year old baby. They even invited us to go up to their conference room for a nice cup of coffee and some nice biscuits. Will go and stay again at Park Taipei Hotel. My best hotel in my while trip of Taipei!”

“We arrived with the intention of spending one night doing a tour of the local attractions on arrival then checking into the hotel and leaving the next day. However due to the bad weather we had to extend the visit to two nights. They upgraded us to a suite as there was no availability for the extra night in a double. The staff were faboulous and the place was so clean. Been on a private tour of Taiwan and speaking English has been an issue but not here...!!! Best hotel we have stayed in Taiwan and not the most expensive. Its a pleasant walk to the night market which is also great. My wife reckons that's the best breakfast buffet we have had. Its just very very good ..!,”

“I've stayed here twice and always enjoyed it. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. Great location in the heart of Ximending and close to the MRT. A quality international buffet breakfast in hard to find at hotels in Taiwan, but Amba's breakfast is always fantastic. It has a lot of choice and really cool dining area. I would recommend this place to everyone.”

“We had a no-window room and it was spacious. The room was clean and fairly new. The commute to metro station is very convenient. And there are many places to eat around the area as well. I’d come back and next time I’d get a windowed room”

“This hotel suitable for family with kids. Pros: - Impressed by the hotel facilities especially the indoor kids pool, indoor playground, etc - welcomed by the friendly staffs. - nice breakfast - super nice, big & clean room, thumb up. Pros: - location abit far from town for those who drive like us, this hotel really a place that u cannot miss. We stayed Taiwan for 7 night but there only one night we stayed here, compared to the rest this is the BEST hotel I guess”

“Breakfast one of the better ones I tasted in hotels in taiwan. Breakfast Staff was also very efficient and polite . Location was great just 5 min walk to night market. Room was really clean and housekeeping were fast to respond to requests. Complementary Minibar and snacks thrown in. Check in was fast. Overall very good and highly recommended . Though reception staff were polite and smiley. Wish there were a little bit more warmth in their attitudes towards guests. After all Taiwanese are known to be warm and hospital.”

“It was our first trip to Taiwan and I wanted a hotel that is close to almost everything in Taiwan so I booked my family a week here. The staff are friendly and the breakfast at the kitchen is good. The room is huge and the cleanliness is top notch. Would recommend this 4 star hotel anytime.”

“The corner suite room I booked is wonderful! The room is comfortable, clean and spacious! The bathroom is of excellent space, with a bathtub. The hotel itself is conveniently located, once you turn left as you step out of the hotel on level 1, you find yourself in the Feng Chia Night Market. If you turn right, you will find McDonalds, Watsons and further down across the road, you will find a big POYA, their department store. The reception counters of this hotel are located on Level 12, with the rooms spread across levels 3 to 11. There is a laundry room on Level 8. I like this hotel, because I feel safe with the brightly-lit corridor. As for the breakfast, spread is considered all right. I realise that the breakfast provided by hotels in Taiwan are not fanciful, but sufficient for you to fill your stomach to start your day exploring!”

“Receptionist was very nice and polite. Concierge service was great! Room is spacious and hotel facilities one of the best in Taiwan. Breakfast was good and full of tasty food. Sufficient parking lot. This is one the hotel that we cannot find any problem during our stay. ”

“Humble House Taipei is a great hotel in the Xinyi area. The Xinyi area where the numerous buildings of Shin Kong Mitsukoshi, the Taipei 101 and the World Trade Center are located. Even if it's raining, there are covered walkways from the Taipei 101 to Humble House. The buffet breakfast was expansive, for a Taiwan hotel. We got upgraded to a higher room class on our last stay. I love the toilet in our room. It's like the toilets used in Japan.”

“I had to book a hotel at the very last minute because of a change of travel plan, found this and surprisingly it is one of the best I've stayed in Taiwan. The room is spacious with HUGE bed, that bed was meant for two of us but I believe it will fit 5 people! Bathroom is nice and clean. Overall a good experience with nice room rates.”

“The tag-line of this property is "it is not a hotel, it is a home" They are quite right on that count, though I don't think I have ever stayed in a home quite so flash! It feels like an up-market apartment; and when you enter the building, you could easily mistake it for a fancy cocktail bar. There is art-work and photographs adorning the walls, and the atrium on the higher levels allows a glance at the design of the lower levels. This property is strong on comfort and style. It is a welcome change to stay in a hotel in Taiwan where someone has actually paid attention to the design and made sure everything is in the right place. It is hard to fault this hotel. However, you will pay through your teeth to stay here. It is twice the price of other business hotels in Chiayi and all you really get is the room. Location is okay, though I prefer something closer to the train station. There are two departments stores and many restaurants and bars outside. Also the BRT line runs down Chueiyang Road, so you can take it to Chiayi Park, or back to the Transport Center (which connects the train station, HSR station[40 minutes away], and long distance buses). It is also a 10 minute walk to the Carrefour and night market, and about 20 minutes to the Wenhua night market. I would certainly recommend for you to stay here once, if only for the novelty.”

“I went to Taiwan with my family last year in September. My family booked 4 rooms in total, 2 family rooms and 2 deluxe rooms (with street view). The deluxe room and family room are side by side on each floor. The family room turned out to be bigger than expected. The window is in the toilet, which is very common for most of the Taiwan hotels. Whereas for the deluxe room, it has the full window in the room. The view of the room is not fantastic as it is facing the shopping mall opposite and the room is much smaller compared to the family room. What I really like about the hotel is their service, location and cleanliness of the hotel. The hotel staff are friendly, helpful and professional. They are very prompt in replying to all your email enquiries. The staff went out the extra miles in helping me to find and rent the baby car seat, even though I did not book their tour services. Of course, I paid a reasonable price for the rental and brought the baby chair along to Cingjing and Hualien. I was very grateful for that as I had a hard time finding the rental of the baby car seat online as most of the websites are in chinese/ too expensive/ too inconvenient for the picking and returning of the car seat. Another memorable incident was that the hotel staff gave my sister and my bro-in-law a handmade card (with polariod photo) and a bottle of wine, after knowing that they were there to take wedding photos. That was really sweet gesture of them.The location is really another benefit of the hotel. It is just 3 mins walk from the train station (exit C if I can remember correctly). The price is really very affordable compared to other hotels around the area. The hotel is new and clean. It has 8 floors in total, which is rare for many boutique hotels in XMD as most of the hotels occupies only 1/2 floors in the building/shopping mall. Highly recommended and do remember to book earlier in order to secure yourself a room there.”

“Had more the feel of a business hotel but catered well for us leisure travellers. - e.g. free bike hire available. Of all the places that we stayed during our Taiwan trip, the staff here had the best grasp of English. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful though this could get a little overbearing. Very, very large room (though my understanding of suite is separate bedroom?), very clean and lovely spacious bathroom. Buffet breakfast had a very good selection and set us up for the day. Great location with wide range of restaurants within walking distance and the tourist shuttle bus stop, which visits all of the main sites in Tainan right outside. Would stay again.”

“Holidaying in Taiwan with family of four, our first stop was Kaohsiung. I booked two twin rooms in Hotel Dua. At first I was rather concerned how to get to the hotel from Taoyuan Airport. Surprisingly, it was not difficult at all. We took High Speed Rail (HSR)from Taoyuan Station to Zuoying Station, then Kaohsiung MRT from Zuoying station to Formosa Boulevard Station. It was just like taking MRT in Singapore from Changi Airport to Orchard Road, but longer journey. So simple. It was also very easy to find the hotel which was only a short 5 minutes walk from Formosa Boulevard Station, the most beautiful station in Taiwan.(if your time the walk from the exit of the station, it can be even shorter) Hotel Dua is a modern boutique hotel with a touch of East-Asian design element. The rooms with superb interior finishing, were spacious. The hardware and accessories in the bathroom were of top quality. We were very pampered by the twin beds coupled with a huge over-sized pillow and a standard-sized pillow. It was unbelievably comfortable. No doubt, Hotel Dua will be my first choice if I travel to Kaohsiung again.”

“I'm really sorry for the late review. Our family visited here last Octouber. But I can't forget a wonderful memory in 'Just sleep', zaoxi. This trip was for celebrating my father's birthday. So, for him, I asked you would prepare some card for celebrating his birthday. And We surprised that there are cake, card and qute animal balloon! T.T I'm really thankful for you to give us an unforgettable memory. All staffs were very kind and Breakfast is excellent. :) I think it's also good for elderly visitors. Most of all... I really satisfied its wonderful hot spring in a room. (I knew that there was a big hot spring in B1, but we didn't go) It's really good experience making our trip perfect! And Thank you very much for driving us to the bus terminal on the last day. Thanks to you , We can enjoy the trip in Taiwan! I can't stop reviewing this wonderful placeT.T... Next time to Taiwan, I really want to visit again.”

“What a nice hotel in Taiwan I had ever stayed ! Nice place , near MRT , nice staff , you can find some Taiwan food around the hotel but pls note food shop / restaurant are old and almost of staff/ owner are eldest , so they can't speak English , you can ask for menu and show them all . I will book this hotel if I travel back Taiwan .”

“Stayed in Taiwan for 7nights. Stayed 2 nights in S hotel. Best choice made. Service was impeccable.. The service staffs came running to our transport immediately with 2 umbrellas. 1 of them held the umbrella for us while the other was unloading our luggage. Our luggage was mad heavy from our shopping. Didn't pant nor complain. Service staff were mostly young and good looking dudes who would smile and offer their help with transport or any help in finding directions. The hotel is beautifully decorated and quite techy. Love the service, could tell that the staffs love working there and their job. Well done S hotel management. Please continue to keep your staff happy so we will continue to have this impeccable service. Can't wait for our next visit. Thanks to the concierge service rendered at the exit. You guys were marvelous!!”

“The facilities is excellent. I've booked a triple room. The rate is cheaper then those in Taipei area, but the facilities is superb. A big living room, bath tub etc. It is so spacious that I think the room can accommodate more people. Location is very good,, few minutes walk from the train station as well as the liuhe night market. There is even a super mart just opposite the hotel which you can buy all Taiwan local delights there. The only down side is the staffs isn't that helpful. They are just doing their own job but didnt offer more such as after I asked for a tourist attraction, they only mentioned it is better to travel by Taxi. When I asked about do I need to do reservation, they replied, I have to check it out myself. I actually expect them to help me find out. In the end, i didnt went to the attraction as I scared that only reservation is allowed. Otherwise, everything else is good, with good breakfast and offer free tea breaks at their cafe.”
