Alishan House
"I love the weather and the location. The hotel will help you sort out what you need. But they need to improve foods to worth a 4 stars hotel.
Also, be considered if you want to travel to Alishan by a shuttle bus from Chiayi station. The bus has a tiny bag storage. So, you have to keep your luguages all the way to Alishan (about 2.5 hours). "Show more

Day Plus Hotel
"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."Show more

Nice Prince Hotel
"The best hotel for the price around Chiayi. Good size room with two queen beds. We used the extra bed for handy convenient place to put the clothing. We don't even need to use the available closet.
Shopping center next door has surprisingly good bakery place in the basement B1. They also have the biggest Daiso store I have seen if you're into this kind of shopping. Very unexpected in the small city like Chiayi.
Directly across from the front door is good Chinese style massage parlor. Full body massage is about TWD700/hr but you need to buy 2 hours for true top to bottom.
If you are from US and miss Costco, there is one nearby. You have to walk about 8 minutes and the sun is very strong around here so umbrella is highly recommended. I don't see any taxi but you can probably call them to the hotel, if you are not walking type. No public transportation like buses nor subway."Show more

Yundeng Landscape Hotel
"Though it is a bit far out of the city,, that makes the 'Grand View Hotel (aka Yundeng Landscape Hotel) even more unique and soectacular!! Built atop a hill with a grand view of a gorgeous golf course and city lights of Chiayi, it is beautiful and peaceful. The restaurant is amazing, serving five course meals for just 540 NTD . Best food we have had! And the staff is superb! Attended to our every need! It is the little things they did that WOWED us!! There is a shuttle service for those of us without cars! A real top 5 star hotel! I will go back!!!"Show more

Hotel Day Plus Teascape
"After booking a four night stay at ‘Hotel Day +’ hotel in Chiayi, we were very happy upon arrival with the hotel’s simple clean settings.
However two instances left us very disappointed with the quality of the staff at the hotel.
The first instance related to using the swimming pool, upon arrival the pool attendant was very Kurt boarding on rude telling us that we must have a bathing cap and wear the hotels Japanese Kimono. After returning with the necessary attire, the pool attendant hide away in the staff room with no care shown at all.
This all changed when an attractive female guest arrived. The man pool attendant was incredibly caring, helped her with taking photos and did not require her to always have a bathing cap.
Very disappointing to be treated differently based on age and looks.
The second instance occurred during our breakfast meal. The hotel requires guests to book breakfast sittings during set times which we were happy to accomodate and worked well.
However on one particular morning, despite booking between 8am until 9am we were asked to leave 20 minutes early to allow room for other guests. Considering we still finishing our coffees, we couldn’t help but be very disappointed with how we were treated.
Overall a very nice clean hotel with modern feel with a few bad experiences with the staff. Would recommend further staff training to help ensure guests leave with positive feelings."Show more

Hotel Hi Chuiyang
"Booked at the last minute the night before Chinese new year's eve after discovering we had no accommodation at a relatives we weren't expecting much as we just needed a bed and a place to stay. We were suitably impressed with the facility and staff, who even changed rooms for us as the original room was a little noisy from elevators and people gathering around the elevators. Facilities are clean and new, bed is massive and comfortable. Public transport (bus with direct links to Alishan and Chiayi TRA and HSR stations) is nearby within 10 minutes walk, as is 2x major department stores and many other retailers on Chuiyang rd. 7 eleven is across the road and there is good easy access to all downtown areas if you have a car or a bike, and the HSR station in Taibao is around 20 minutes away by taxi if you don't want the bus. Breakfast inhouse was not bad at all and there was a variety of choice. happy to stay here again next time I'm in town."Show more

Large, clean room with a terrace. It's a bit far from the train station for walking but we managed to walk there in about 20 minutes, which was fine. It's a great location for the night market (only 5 min away) I would definitely stay here again if I ever return to Chiayi."Show more

Would have had no complaints about the hotel except for the fact that there was a dead moth rolled up within the blanket provided. Also, heater for shower is turned on from 4pm-8am (but hot water was still available at around 10am).
Generally, a very conveniently located and comfortable hotel!"Show more

You can actually to have the nice lunch, afternoon tea & dinner within 10 minutes walk around the hotel. Even if you want going to the night market in Chiayi City, you can just take a taxi with less than NTD 200 getting there. Honestly, Chiayi is a nice place for rest & relax. I will go Chiayi again and will be staying in this hotel."Show more

Hotel Discover
"The hotel lobby and room hallway were so modern. I stayed on 9th floor and the design was all about dinosaur. The room was so clean and they had a complete set of shower kit. Unlike other hotels in Taiwan, this one had a really bright room. Though they didn't have window, it didn't matter because the view wasn't that good. It's close to Chiayi train station, only 3 minutes walk. The breakfast was so common, such as Chinese style breakfast and bread n butter. Their service was excellent. Once my mom left her phone after checked-out of the hotel, when she realized the hotel clerk accompanied me to the room and help me look for it. Lucky I found it! Overall, this hotel is worth the price."Show more

Alishan Shermuh Hotel
"Everything about the hotel room is above average, neat and tidy. Room service needs to be reminded for your room to make up, a couple of times during our stay, despite calling the service counter to ask for make up, it did not happen. They do not automatically make up your room it seems. The room makeup request button will not lit up if the hotel card is remove from socket. Even when lit, the makeup did not materalise. Only this aspect is grossly disappointing of a 4 star hotel.
The air conditioning of the hotel cannot be adjusted at will. It is centrally managed and it can be very cold in the morning. The only option is to turn it off when cold, turn it back on when you feel stuffy. This is not optimal for good rest after one day of shopping."Show more

"Overall, we had a pleasant overnight stay at the Chiayi Crown. While the hotel is an old establishment (I'm guessing it was completed in the early 70's), it was clean. The shower was lacking in water pressure, but was more than adequately heated. The beds were comfortable enough, although they may be a bit too hard for some people. Staff was quick to provide service. We communicated in Chinese, so I'm not sure how they would handle foreign languages. Hotel offered to hold our luggage after checking out, a much appreciated gesture. Breakfast was a tasty affair, a buffet catered heavily towards Taiwanese tastes. Very conveniently located near the Chia Yi train station, easily within walking distance. For the price (1200 TWD/night), would consider staying again if in the area."Show more

Chiayi King Hotel
"Stayed 1 night before we went to Mt. Alishan by train next morning.
From the recommendations of the reviews, I booked breakfast buffet. My family absolutely loved it. My granny usually only eats tiny bits of every dish, but she loved the bitter melon stir-fry so much she ate 2 platefuls.
It may not be the cheapest choice, but the room was very spacious and clean.
Bathroom had a proper bath tub (not common for budget hotels in Taiwan).
Conveniently located, 5-min walk to Chiayi Train Station.
Plenty of eateries a few blocks away (not much around the hotel though).
Convenience store Family Mart is across the hotel, and discount chain store Kuang Nan (one of my fav stores in Taiwan) is around the corner (2-min walk).
Staff were friendly and helpful, and helped keeping our luggages when we went to Mt. Alishan.
They had an informative video about the hotel for you to watch while waiting, very nice idea.
Don't forget to make use of the massage chairs at the basement level."Show more

Dang Guei Homestay
"Dang Guei is very worth of money, we stayed for 2 nights there and tour around alishan. The view is magnificent, if you cant wake up in the morning or you dont want to fight with the crowd to see the sunrise or sunset, just stay in Dang Guei. And you will experience sunset or sunrise from cloud sea.
It will be quite hard to find the exact hotel location from LongTou bus station but Thanks to the owner, he will pick you up from longtou bus stop and send you back there if you want to travel around.
Dang Guei is located in the middle of Chiayi and Alishan. So you wont have to travel too long to go either of the places (roughly around 1 hour to each place).
At night, it is suggested to buy food from 7 eleven or get dinner at Dang Guei which is steam boat with unlimited meat and vegies for NTD 350 per head.
For touring guidance the owner and maid will tell you where exactly the best time and places to go. In the end, its very worth it."Show more

Ali-Shan Kaofeng Hotel
"I was in Taiwan for a vacation trip with one of my siblings and her friends.
We decided to book a room in this hotel because it was inside the park. It was very convenient not having to travel from Chiayi to visit this park.
We stayed in the hotel for around 2 nights in the quad deluxe room. Due to the climate, the room doesn't have an aircon. But is has a heater and beds with electric blankets. The beds were also very comfortable.
The receptionist was very accomodating given that we don't speak Chinese. Having jackets for rent was great since I didn't bring clothes appropriate for Alishan's weather.
The breakfast was composed of some pao bread, nuts, lettuces and some sweet and spicy side dishes. I really loved the taste of their soymilk and coffee. The coffee was not overly better and was sweet.
Overall, I really loved my stay in here. I wouldn't mind booking here again in the future."Show more

Ali-Shan Dengshan Hotel
"Had no issues with the stay. The hotel looks and feels a bit old, there is free wifi and TV. Features are minimal as you would expect from a hotel on the mountain. Its location is the same as every other hotel in alishan. electric blanket is useful, although we found it cold at night due to the heater not functioning very well. The hotel provides wake up calls before sunrise at 5am and can book tours for you. Breakfast is provided but is in another building. Although breakfast is basic (congee and various condements, vegies, buns), I quite enjoyed the food that was served especially on a cold morning.
Located down a flight of stairs from 7-11 (only thing open at night) next to Alishan station. All buses from chiayi and chiayi HSR station stop infront of 7-11, beware of the stairs at night as there is no lighting, alternatively you can walk an extra 5 minutes by following the road that goes up to 7-11. At the base of the stairs is the hotel and a few others with similar type of buildings."Show more

It is hard to find and long walk from the Main Train station at Chiayi. It is a 30 min car-ride to the High speed train station (cost about 400 NTD)
For a small town, though the hotel is a slightly high standard but the price is considered too much.
The staff is not friendly as other hotels we have experienced in Taiwan. Kind of disappointing
Suppose this is the only ok hotel in the area, seems like we have no choice but to stay there."Show more

YOYO Hotel
"We were quite surprised when we stepped out the hotel lift at 11th floor located at a building which looks old to us and saw a nice hotel lobby which is quite spacious and well decorated with nice view of the Chiayi city including the train station. The hotel is well located just opposite Chiayi train station and coach station where train or buses can be caught to Alishan. The 4 beded room is very spacious though the window requires urgent cleaning. The breakfast provided was simple but yet good enough for a start of the day. Overall, it is value for money to stay in YOYO hotel."Show more

Win Inn Chiayi Hotel II
"Location: perfect. It was right infront of the Chiayi train station and bus station.
I came from Taichung, arrived in Chiayi train station, went out to exit n acrossed the street n the hotel was there. In front of the train station exit also got bus station where people queued for Alishan shuttle bus to go to Alishan, just see the queue.
Surrounding: Has so many eateries, and my favourite is Lingo Juice, please find it n try, they have watermelon-lime juice which is awesome n very cheap, also got other mix juices which are unique n delicious.
U can walk around 20min to Wenhua Night Market.
Hotel: It is located at 10th floor of the building which has other hotels in other floors. The interior of hotel lobby, the room, breakfast canteen are very tidy, modern, n bright.
Room is clean n tidy n bright, bathroom also clean, okay, complete toiletries.
Bfast: quite complete got porridge, soya milk, n other simple buffet style. Bfast is more very good for budget hotel.
Train station n High Speed Train are not in the same station. When i checkout n wanted to go to Taipei, i go to Train station n took shuttle bus to High Speed Train Station (30mins journey)
I will definitely come back to stay again"Show more

Chiayi King Hotel
"Stayed 1 night before we went to Mt. Alishan by train next morning.
From the recommendations of the reviews, I booked breakfast buffet. My family absolutely loved it. My granny usually only eats tiny bits of every dish, but she loved the bitter melon stir-fry so much she ate 2 platefuls.
It may not be the cheapest choice, but the room was very spacious and clean.
Bathroom had a proper bath tub (not common for budget hotels in Taiwan).
Conveniently located, 5-min walk to Chiayi Train Station.
Plenty of eateries a few blocks away (not much around the hotel though).
Convenience store Family Mart is across the hotel, and discount chain store Kuang Nan (one of my fav stores in Taiwan) is around the corner (2-min walk).
Staff were friendly and helpful, and helped keeping our luggages when we went to Mt. Alishan.
They had an informative video about the hotel for you to watch while waiting, very nice idea.
Don't forget to make use of the massage chairs at the basement level."Show more

Day Plus Hotel
"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."Show more

Hotel Day Plus Teascape
"After booking a four night stay at ‘Hotel Day +’ hotel in Chiayi, we were very happy upon arrival with the hotel’s simple clean settings.
However two instances left us very disappointed with the quality of the staff at the hotel.
The first instance related to using the swimming pool, upon arrival the pool attendant was very Kurt boarding on rude telling us that we must have a bathing cap and wear the hotels Japanese Kimono. After returning with the necessary attire, the pool attendant hide away in the staff room with no care shown at all.
This all changed when an attractive female guest arrived. The man pool attendant was incredibly caring, helped her with taking photos and did not require her to always have a bathing cap.
Very disappointing to be treated differently based on age and looks.
The second instance occurred during our breakfast meal. The hotel requires guests to book breakfast sittings during set times which we were happy to accomodate and worked well.
However on one particular morning, despite booking between 8am until 9am we were asked to leave 20 minutes early to allow room for other guests. Considering we still finishing our coffees, we couldn’t help but be very disappointed with how we were treated.
Overall a very nice clean hotel with modern feel with a few bad experiences with the staff. Would recommend further staff training to help ensure guests leave with positive feelings."Show more

For a small town, though the hotel is a slightly high standard but the price is considered too much.

"The best hotel for the price around Chiayi. Good size room with two queen beds. We used the extra bed for handy convenient place to put the clothing. We don't even need to use the available closet.
Shopping center next door has surprisingly good bakery place in the basement B1. They also have the biggest Daiso store I have seen if you're into this kind of shopping. Very unexpected in the small city like Chiayi.
Directly across from the front door is good Chinese style massage parlor. Full body massage is about TWD700/hr but you need to buy 2 hours for true top to bottom.
If you are from US and miss Costco, there is one nearby. You have to walk about 8 minutes and the sun is very strong around here so umbrella is highly recommended. I don't see any taxi but you can probably call them to the hotel, if you are not walking type. No public transportation like buses nor subway."Show more

Traveler impressions of Chiayi
stopover to Alishan mountains or Nantou countryside. The food is good along ChuiYang street near DayPlus hotel.
jack, Singapore
Chiayi was a Taiwan city getting popular. This city is the start point for people going to Ali Shan area.
Yuk Lin, New Zealand
If you are staying mid hill or near Alishan, there is not much night activities basically. However, the air over there is very fresh and is a good place for sightseeing and hiking.
Mei Ping, Singapore
A very nice city , but the traffic is not good, passengers should pay attention on the cars on the road.
YIXI, Taiwan
Forest bath, imagine where you can leisurely! Drawback is that the forest train diesel smell! Hope the future of electric cars on the forest is better! Watch the sunrise number does not control, causing the crowd is a disadvantage of a long rope! I was disappointed that this place should be quiet appreciation! rather than to take pictures of .
Feng Tse, Taiwan
i can say it is a medium city and it is quite comfortable as it is not crowded with peoples and traffics compared to Taipei.
Theng yenn, Malaysia
Simple and Quiet city. All attractions were within walking distance. Many people will tend to bypass this city to get to Alishan.
Alfred, Singapore
It was a budget hotel, in the township of Alishan. The service was slow as there is barely anyone at the counter.
Siow Ching, Malaysia
This is a more country style place, nth special compare with Tai pei if you are typical city person. Local people there is definitely nice and food is fresh and yummy.
LAI CHU, Hong Kong
It is very easy to travel form Chiayi to all the surrounding places by bus, trains or taxi. People are friendly.
Hui Lee, Malaysia
Quiet city but poor tourist attraction. Free of charge jail visiting but not well organized guiding. Old Japanese village reconstitution but nothing is open to visit! Nice old train station but poor time schedule to visit ALISHAN mountain by train
Bernard, Luxembourg
It was raining when we arrived and thus didn't do much but to stay indoors as the hotel was so comfortable.

Home of mother nature with good fresh air and cooling temperature. Very minimum pollution and people.

Chiayi is not big. I explored the city mainly by walking. The cultural centre, natural museum, old prison, Chiayi Park, the 228 Memorial Park are all within walking distance.
WAI MAN, Hong Kong
You can visit the local market and street, but the reason why you are in this city is because you are going up to Alisan early morning the next day.

Chiayi is a smaller city in Taiwan. The weather is great with less population. People are friendly and living costs are lower than Taipei.

Room service needs to be reminded for your room to make up, a couple of times during our stay, despite calling the service counter to ask for make up, it did not happen. They do not automatically make up your room it seems. The room makeup request button will not lit up if the hotel card is remove from socket. Even when lit, the makeup did not materalise. Only this aspect is grossly disappointing of a 4 star hotel.
The air conditioning of the hotel cannot be adjusted at will. It is centrally managed and it can be very cold in the morning. The only option is to turn it off when cold, turn it back on when you feel stuffy. This is not optimal for good rest after one day of shopping."Show more

"stayed only 1 day/1 night at this hotel as chiayi was our base for visiting alishan. reached chiayi in the evening, and left hotel for dinner after checking in, came back around 10 for a good night's rest before checking out early in the morning and leaving to catch our bus to alishan. however, as we did not want to lug our luggages up to alishan, the hotel very kindly allowed us to deposit our luggage at the front counter and kept it for the rest of the day until we returned in the early evening to retrieve them, before we set off for kaohsiung.
hotel's location is ok, took a 5 mins cab ride from the train station (tra). difficult to get a cab tho, the cabbies touting customers were only interested in sending people up to alishan and tried to cheat us of our money by saying we needed 2 cabs for 4 people as our luggages were too big. found a private cabby instead who agreed to take us all in his cab.
so anyway, the hotel lobby is very very spacious and had nice furnishings and decor. staff were helpful too. free wifi in lobby (can't remember if the room had free wifi too). room was very comfortable, clean and spacious. the bathroom was beautiful. it had both a bathtub and shower stall.. the bathtub was located beside a small window panel that looks into the room itself, from there u could watch tv while taking a slow bath. for privacy, there were blinds that u could lower too.
i really enjoyed my short but memorable stay in this hotel, wouold definitely recommend to anybody wanting to visit chiayi. it is cheap, comfortable, cosy and beautiful"Show more

"This hotel has been there for more than 20 years. It was renovated but the basic structure are still old. The elevator was old. Even though I asked for non-smoking rooms, the rooms are still smelly. There are so many newly built hotels in Chiayi I would book instead next time."Show more

de reve Express Hotel
"Hotel is fairly new. Bathroom is big and lobby provides free coffee . Front desk staff, namely, Kevin, Gavin & Addison were extremely helpful. They went out of their way to help us to get more info on our onward trip to Penghu Island, It was them who found out that the ferry does not serve during winter. And they helped us to book a last minute flight with Uni Air. Extremely sincere & warm to serve.
It is about 400m from the Chiayi Train Station and 700m from the Night Market. We stayed here a total of 4 nights and it was very convenient & pleasant.
If there is any complain, it will the WiFi in the room. Signal is weak & sporadic. So what we did was to do our WiFi surfing in the lobby & drink our free coffee."Show more

"We forgot to pack one of our kid’s jacket on the check out date, and did not realize that we didn’t pack it with us until two days after and I wasn’t expect that it will still be there after two days of checking out the hotel. Surprisingly it was not stolen and it was nicely stored at a safe place. So greatful and definitely would come back live with them if we visit chiayi again!!!"Show more

Day Plus Hotel
"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."Show more

All-Ur Boutique Motel-Chia Yi Branch
"As i was on a business trip, it is definitely not the right hotel to be in. Generally this will make a perfect choice for couples as well as a group holiday. The rooms are self standing units with private parking lot. Once you step in, you will be amazed by the spaciousness and facilities present in the room itself. Jacuzzi, Karaoke, Rotating TV console, etc.. you will be in for a good trip if you are looking for pure relaxation. Breakfast on the other hand has limited selection but you can visit the Turkey Meat Rice restaurant just across the road from the hotel!"Show more

Chiayi Guanzhi Hotel
"Too far away from Public Transport - inconvenience
Overprice for the location.
It is hard to find and long walk from the Main Train station at Chiayi. It is a 30 min car-ride to the High speed train station (cost about 400 NTD)
For a small town, though the hotel is a slightly high standard but the price is considered too much.
The staff is not friendly as other hotels we have experienced in Taiwan. Kind of disappointing
Suppose this is the only ok hotel in the area, seems like we have no choice but to stay there."Show more

E. Sun Villa Hotel & Resort
"stayed only 1 day/1 night at this hotel as chiayi was our base for visiting alishan. reached chiayi in the evening, and left hotel for dinner after checking in, came back around 10 for a good night's rest before checking out early in the morning and leaving to catch our bus to alishan. however, as we did not want to lug our luggages up to alishan, the hotel very kindly allowed us to deposit our luggage at the front counter and kept it for the rest of the day until we returned in the early evening to retrieve them, before we set off for kaohsiung.
hotel's location is ok, took a 5 mins cab ride from the train station (tra). difficult to get a cab tho, the cabbies touting customers were only interested in sending people up to alishan and tried to cheat us of our money by saying we needed 2 cabs for 4 people as our luggages were too big. found a private cabby instead who agreed to take us all in his cab.
so anyway, the hotel lobby is very very spacious and had nice furnishings and decor. staff were helpful too. free wifi in lobby (can't remember if the room had free wifi too). room was very comfortable, clean and spacious. the bathroom was beautiful. it had both a bathtub and shower stall.. the bathtub was located beside a small window panel that looks into the room itself, from there u could watch tv while taking a slow bath. for privacy, there were blinds that u could lower too.
i really enjoyed my short but memorable stay in this hotel, wouold definitely recommend to anybody wanting to visit chiayi. it is cheap, comfortable, cosy and beautiful"Show more

Shantis Motel
"Have read good and bad reviews about this hotel when we made the booking, so we came in here with an open mind. We were plesantly surprised! Check-in was a breeze, being over in 30 seconds, and our room were big and comfortable, with a gigantic jacuzzi, where we relaxed and watch our favourite Taiwanese variety shows at the same time.
The location of this hotel was also a plus, within walking distance to the train station, and also 5 min taxi ride away from the Carrefour supermarket and night market.
The after 8pm check-in time did not make this place perfect (as in all things), but we just spend the evening happily shopping at the night market and arrived in good time for a good rest in the hotel room."Show more

Hotel Hi Chuiyang
"Booked at the last minute the night before Chinese new year's eve after discovering we had no accommodation at a relatives we weren't expecting much as we just needed a bed and a place to stay. We were suitably impressed with the facility and staff, who even changed rooms for us as the original room was a little noisy from elevators and people gathering around the elevators. Facilities are clean and new, bed is massive and comfortable. Public transport (bus with direct links to Alishan and Chiayi TRA and HSR stations) is nearby within 10 minutes walk, as is 2x major department stores and many other retailers on Chuiyang rd. 7 eleven is across the road and there is good easy access to all downtown areas if you have a car or a bike, and the HSR station in Taibao is around 20 minutes away by taxi if you don't want the bus. Breakfast inhouse was not bad at all and there was a variety of choice. happy to stay here again next time I'm in town."Show more
