Where to stay in Taichung
Taichung hotels & accommodations
There is a parking lot. The location was good and convenient for my rental car trip. The front desk service was excellent. I left some clothes behind, but I received an email and arranged to have them returned for the cost of shipping. I wasn't sure when I booked through Agoda, but breakfast was included. It was a satisfying breakfast. The hotel is neither too big nor ...
The renovation is well done, it feels clean, and everything necessary is provided, making the room very user-friendly. It's conveniently located about a 5-minute walk from the station. There is a bathtub and a washlet. The staff all wear masks, showing concern for hygiene, and everyone is friendly. I received a lot of help from Cliff and Linda, and it was a relief to h...
Although it was a 5-minute walk from the main street, it was worth visiting this hotel. Clean and spacious rooms, a good enough gym, and a swimming pool for a short stay. I would definitely recommend it.
My husband is someone who values night markets. I also think the mattress and cleanliness are important. However, this place had a great location near the market, and the staff were friendly. The breakfast was also diverse, and I felt that the price was a bit higher than I expected, but looking at the surrounding hotels, it seems that such a place is rare.
This is my first time staying at the Bigen Feng Chia Hotel. The lobby is spacious and clean, and the staff is very friendly. The room type has two single beds, and it’s bright with a window, which perfectly matches my ideal. It’s close to Feng Chia University, and I don't worry about breakfast because there's plenty to eat. I can also stroll around the university, and ...

It’s a bit far from downtown, but there is a free shuttle service. I missed it because it wasn’t the Taichung station I knew. Since March is still winter, it was a bit disappointing that the pool was closed. However, the room was large and spacious, and the outdoor hot spring with a quiet mountain atmosphere was really nice. I had dinner at a Chinese restaurant, and al...
I stayed for one night in room 1108 on the 11th floor. The counter staff were friendly, the room was clean, and the view of the city was nice. The breakfast had a variety of options and was neat and tasty. There are good restaurants nearby, and it's nice to take a walk along the riverside promenade right next to it. (The toilet in the bathroom sometimes has a continuou...
The night market is close, so you can walk there. It's great to buy things at the night market, at the supermarket (PX Mart) right in front of you, or even at 7-Eleven. Then you can heat them up in the microwave in your room and relax while enjoying a meal in your room. The bus stop right in front of you has buses going everywhere, so if you use an app to manage your b...
The Taichung train station and a shopping mall are next to each other. Since it is located in the center, famous restaurants and shops are also nearby, making it convenient to walk around. The room was comfortable and well-cleaned. The table was very large, making it comfortable to use.
The location was excellent. This time I didn't have enough time to explore leisurely, but there was a market and nearby convenience stores and pharmacies, which were very convenient. I thought it was an old establishment, but the facilities were clean, and it didn't have the plumbing smell often found in older five-star hotels. Compared to the hotel I stayed at in anot...
There is a bus stop right in front. It's a decent location for walking to famous spots. There are many breakfast places nearby. The department store next door has Haidilao and Kaifen restaurants, and there is a grocery store in the basement. Taxis also pass by often, making it easy to catch one. There is someone at the front desk who can speak Korean. There is no depos...
The location is quite nice, close to the bus stop and also Geng Chia market. The room is good and clean.
The room was spacious and had a swimming pool and game room, which my 6-year-old liked. However, the sofa was a fabric one and smelled a bit when sitting on it, which was a bit off-putting. The bed was on the hard side, so I couldn't sleep well the first night, but after that, I seemed to adjust and had no issues. I enjoyed the breakfast.
It was a great experience to stay at this hotel, room clean, staff friendly, breakfast has a lot of choice, it’s nice to stay in here.
I requested a high floor or a quiet room, but I was assigned a room on the lowest floor facing the road, which was somewhat uncomfortable due to the noise from passing vehicles while trying to sleep! The large window was nice, but the low floor meant I couldn't open the curtains! The refrigerator's cooling was weak! The bed was clean! You can watch YouTube on the TV, a...
Had a fantastic experience overall, with exceptional cleanliness and friendly staff that made my stay enjoyable. The hot water was always reliable, and housekeeping kept everything tidy and fresh. The amenities provided were impressive, adding to the comfort of the stay. The location was decent, though it could be slightly better for easy access to attractions. Overall...
I was worried that it didn't seem like a hotel that many Koreans use, but the room was spacious, the bed was large, the bathtub was big, and the shower area was wide, which was nice. Although we couldn’t communicate in English, it didn’t matter because we had a translator, and the staff were friendly. The wooden floors were clean and nice. However, just be aware that t...
It was a unique experience compared to other hotels. The bed was on the second floor, which was comfortable and nice. However, the room space was a bit small, so it could feel a little cramped, but it wasn't too bad. Overall, it was a satisfying hotel.
I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The front desk team was friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. In fact, every staff member I interacted with was warm and professional. The breakfast was delicious and could be delivered directly to the room as early as 7:00 a.m. It was also very affordable, costing only around US$3–3.35 per person, depending on the ...
The staff are friendly and always greet you when you meet them. The location is highly recommended without a doubt. Breakfast is free and they provide tickets for it. There are convenient facilities nearby, making it very useful. Especially since the air conditioning in the room is very cool, it's nice to go back to the accommodation and rest for a bit before heading o...
The location was convenient for transportation, making shopping and moving around very easy, and the room size was spacious enough for a comfortable stay. The hot water was plentiful, providing no inconvenience, and thanks to the housekeeping service, the hygiene of the accommodation was always clean. Overall, it was a satisfying experience due to the friendly demeanor...
Personally, I would give it a perfect score. After moving from a hotel that felt like a prison cell in Taipei, I found this place to be more than three times the size for nearly the same price. It was clean and very comfortable. From 4 PM, there is a self-check-in available on a large tablet. The process is automated, and you cannot check in even one minute before you...
We stayed in a family room with five people, including three children. The inside was clean, and the pool, foot bath, playroom, and courtyard were all wonderful spaces. The breakfast had a wide variety and was very delicious! The beef soup is highly recommended above all else. The reception staff also assisted us in Japanese. Thank you very much.
I went to the Taichung Emergence Festival's Ferris wheel, and it was close to the airport. There are lockers on the first floor, and after 10 PM, there's automatic check-in, so I was able to visit comfortably without worrying about anything. The accommodation was clean, and the view from the window was nice. There's also a night market nearby, making it great for sig...
Taichung Travel - INNK Hotel I hesitated a lot before booking because it's a 3-star hotel, but since it’s close to Fengjia Night Market, which I had fond memories of from my three trips, I decided to make a reservation~!! I read many reviews and pondered before booking, but the location and room cleanliness were GOOD~! The desk staff were friendly, and the bathroom wat...
In front of Taichung Station, there is also a convenience store nearby. I mainly used it just for sleeping, so I didn't use any services within the hotel, but the staff at the reception were very polite, using a translation app while only speaking Chinese. Although the room had no windows, it was spacious enough, clean, and comfortable. If I had to mention something, I...
The Taiwanese/continental breakfast is clean and pleasant enough for foreigners to eat, and although it's a simple menu, it provides a sufficient morning meal. The accommodation is not spacious, but it was clean. There was a bit of dust, but it was possible to open the windows for ventilation. There are many convenience stores, electronics malls, famous food malls, wel...
The hotel is conveniently located, with direct bus access to the high-speed train station and several large supermarkets nearby for easy shopping. The hotel's service attitude is friendly, and the facilities are complete. The rooms are kept very clean, and the views are also satisfactory, making it suitable for travelers seeking convenience and comfort. Overall, the ex...
This hotel is the cleanest, quietest, and most high tech hotel I have ever stayed at. Self-check in with rooms that are super soundproofed. You can't hear any of your neighbors. The shower and bathroom are amazing too. Hope to be able to stay again!
The size and cleanliness of the room were sufficient. There were two free bottles of water. Bath towels were provided. There was also a hairdryer. Cups were available. There were no other amenities, so items like a toothbrush set need to be prepared. The bath was a room with only a shower, so I would like to consider a room with a bathtub next time. The breakfast was a...
Cheap places to stay in Taichung
I had the impression that there were many people traveling by motorbike. I stayed for a week, and everyone was very quiet, making it a very comfortable stay. The bed can be surrounded by curtains, providing a minimum level of privacy. The toilet was always clean, and the shower pressure was strong. I would like to stay here again when I come to Taichung.
There is a night market within walking distance, and there are also many stylish clothing stores, making it a great place for travel! The staff is also kind. I recommend leaving the shower room window open when going out. If you close it, a lot of humidity will accumulate inside the room.
Because I placed an order at a very cheap price, I was a bit worried that the facilities might not be sufficient. However, I later found everything to be quite complete. Each guest has a locker, and the location of the hostel is also easy to find. Moreover, the staff are very friendly and chatty 😂😂 I will definitely stay here again next time I come to Taichung!!!
It is about a 10-minute walk from Taichung Station. The staff responds in Japanese, which is very comforting. Recommended points: The ceiling in the dormitory is high, so it doesn’t feel cramped when sleeping. The shower booths are not very spacious, but there are plenty of hair dryers available, so it’s not a problem. Breakfast (bread) is free. There was chocolate j...
The location was convenient for transportation, making shopping and moving around very easy, and the room size was spacious enough for a comfortable stay. The hot water was plentiful, providing no inconvenience, and thanks to the housekeeping service, the hygiene of the accommodation was always clean. Overall, it was a satisfying experience due to the friendly demeanor...
This is a truly wonderful hotel. It is listed as a dormitory, but it is essentially a capsule hotel. The security is excellent; without a card key, you can't even use the elevator. The tea time on the rooftop terrace in the morning when no one else was around was the best.
The checkin time is 4PM but in the website it's 3PM. It's located in an apartment building. Elevator looks scary but the floor was renovated. Just besides 711 and Taichung Park. There's a mall nearby and they have starbucks for coffee. You can just walk going to the night market by crossing the park. Near bus station and TRA everything is walkable if you're fun of wa...
It takes just over 20 minutes from Taichung Station, but walking along the park was quick, so it wasn’t a big concern. The room had windows, the walls were nicely painted, and there was plenty of lighting, making it very beautiful. I was surprised at how clean the bathroom was for the price. The staff was also very kind. I would love to stay here again if I come to Tai...
It was close to Taichung Station and bus stops, and I had a comfortable stay. The staff was also kind. Other than the fact that the mirror in the shared bathroom was too high for my short height and that there were no trash cans in each room, I was very satisfied. The Wi-Fi was also working smoothly. I would like to stay here again when I visit Taichung.
It's good value for money and quite average. Basic amenities are rented or sold at a low price, and the bedding is decent with good water pressure. Wi-Fi is also fairly good. However, the restroom and bathroom are small and shared between men and women, which is a bit inconvenient... The inside of the bunk bed could use a better cleaning. It's made of wood, so it colle...
The accommodation was really clean, and the staff were very friendly, which was great!! I chose this hostel because I had to go to the airport early the next morning, and it was the best choice, hehe. It took less than 30 minutes to get to the airport by bus number 302! I recommend this hostel to anyone who needs to stay before their flight!
Cheap and convenient once you can get in touch with the host via Line.
The bed was comfortable, and the price was reasonable, so overall it felt very good value for money. They try to assign beds so that people are as spread out as possible, and I was lucky enough to use the dorm room alone during my stay, which made it extra comfortable. Since it's a shared space, there are some house rules. It takes about 30 minutes by bus to both the a...
The hotel is located within a maximum 5-10 minute walking distance from the Fengjia Night Market, and there is also a bus right in front of the hotel that goes to Taichung Station (TRA), making it easy to get around. The Taichung MRT station is about a 20-30 minute walk away. The staff are very friendly and seem to be attentive to requests. The interior atmosphere of t...
The location is about an 8-minute walk from the train station, and it's quite easy to find on the 10th floor. The single bed is comfortable, and there's enough storage space. Towels and slippers are provided, and the hot water pressure is strong. For washing clothes, there is a dryer, and then you can hand it over to the staff for air-drying. The common area is spaciou...
The location was very good. There were plenty of dining options nearby, so I never had any trouble finding something to eat. The bus stop was also close. The shared space felt very homey, which was nice. The kitchen was well-equipped, and personally, I thought the balcony and furniture like the cushions were stylish and great. In the morning, there was a supply of brea...
A quality accommodation for less than 40,000 won for two people for one night... The bathroom was very clean, neat, and they tidied up the room every day. They provided amenities such as toothpaste, toothbrush, comb, shampoo, body wash, earplugs, and indoor slippers, which was very convenient. Honestly, since the price was so cheap, I thought it would just be clean eno...
It's very easy and safe to find as it's on the main street. Within about 10 minutes, there are Shimwonchun, Chunsudang, Gungwonan, and the Ijungje Market. The room is quite spacious and pleasant. The refrigerator is also large, making it convenient for storing food. I'm not sure if it's just my room, but the bed is a bit short. It was just right for my height of 167cm....
Booked the stay very last min, and check in 20 mins after booking. Definitely have great space here, though sound proofing is not super great but stay was comfy and it has smart tv!
First-time use It’s a bit of a walk from the station, but the second market is nearby, and it's also within reach of Nakayama Eye Clinic, so I’m satisfied. It was great that I could get to the night market with just one bus ride. The hotel with windows was so affordable and clean, so I was extremely satisfied. The shower worked fine, and the free Wi-Fi was helpful. ...
Very good, very clean and not brisket
You can easily access it by taking bus number 25, 32, or 35 from Taichung Station. Compared to other hotels that are very expensive on holidays, it is relatively cheap. The rooms are spacious, and the bathrooms are also large. However, the furniture is quite old and creaks a bit. There are many places to eat nearby, and a supermarket is close by as well.
We stayed in 3 hostels, 2 in Taipei, and then 1 night here at To be I Taichung Hostel. But we can say that we have the best night sleep here. Clean spacious room complete with toiletries and pink dryer. Value for money and very much convenient for it is close to Fengchia night market. The staff is sooo much accomodating and she even give us directions as what are...
The accommodation is located in a characteristic area of Taichung with many Toyota Alphard vehicles around, five layers of security, and many famous shops nearby. This community area offers you a truly special experience of central Taiwanese culture.

I usually don't write reviews, but it was so good that I'm writing one here!! I really loved it so much that I want to go back to Taichung again!! Advantages 1. All the staff are very friendly. The front desk staff speak English well. They welcomed us with tea and cookies as soon as we arrived. They also gave us a mask which was really good and adhered well!! After us...
There are many reviews saying that hotels in Taichung city are outdated and have drainage issues, so after searching diligently, I found this hotel. I liked that the sink and shower facilities were separated, the water pressure was good, and the drainage worked well. The room was clean and there were plenty of outlets, which was nice. I would recommend it to anyone loo...
Overall, the cost-performance ratio is very high, allowing for a comfortable accommodation experience without spending a lot of money. The transportation is also user-friendly, with many bus options nearby, so there's no need to worry about reaching different attractions; it's only about a 16-minute walk to Taichung Station, or it's very convenient to take a bus there...
I wanted to travel to the Gaomei Wetlands but didn't want to burden my child, so I made a reservation for the last accommodation. It was very clean, and the staff were professional and friendly. There is a well-organized shuttle service that safely takes you to the Gaomei Wetlands, outlets, and airport pick-up and drop-off. Thanks to the breakfast and the kids' world s...
This hotel offers a feeling of hospitality. Breakfast has four options to choose from, and during my three-night stay, I was excited about what to eat. The TV had some issues, but they handled it with a smile. I borrowed a bicycle to go to a Bib Gourmand restaurant a little farther away for dinner. The Second Market is also close by, and there are many attractive shops...
The location near Taichung Station is very convenient, with Gongyuan Eye Clinic, Lalaport, and the night market within walking distance. Although the room is not big, it is very bright, the sheets are comfortable, and the bathroom has a smart toilet with sufficient water pressure and hot water. There is also a snack provided in the room daily. There is free laundry and...
The bathroom was as spacious as the room, which made it comfortable to use. However, the air conditioning couldn't be adjusted freely, and it remained set at 26 degrees, which was hot. Additionally, although the website mentioned an indoor pool, it seems there hasn't been one for a long time. The breakfast was also limited in variety and did not feel upscale, especiall...
Early check-in is absolutely not allowed. If I visit Taichung again or if there is another hotel like this in another area, I am 100% willing to visit. The restroom in the lobby on the first floor is very pretty and luxurious. Even though I chose a room that wasn't too expensive, I was satisfied with the large bed, cleanliness, and elegant interior, and above all, ...
This hotel beat our expectations. The room was enormous as were the comfortable beds, and the double bath with private paddling pool felt much more luxurious than the cost of staying was. Very children friendly, the outdoor pool was surrounded by enormous walls so felt very private. Breakfast was decent with a reasonable choice. WiFi good It's a motel so had enclosed ...
- Room: The wide oval window provides good ventilation, and the actual room size is large, which is nice. It is well cleaned. The bathroom sink is broken (needs repair). - Staff: Kindness rated five stars. - Surroundings: Close to tourist attractions and the station, very convenient.
I usually use it for business trips, but this time it is for private use. I am very satisfied with both the room and the service. If I could make one more request, I think it would be perfect if a shower toilet were installed. I would be very happy if you could consider it.
I was very satisfied with the price. The location is also close to the Fengjia Night Market, about a 10-minute walk. The parking is available both in the hotel basement and outdoors. Whether it was remodeled or the building is relatively new, the rooms and bathrooms are clean and tidy. I have always been dissatisfied with the weak water pressure in Taiwanese hotels, bu...
Overall, if you refine it to clearly express the satisfaction, it could be written like this: I recommend this hotel as a travel base camp in Taichung! There is a bus stop within a 3-minute walk from the hotel, making it easy to use public transportation. Even if you don't take the bus, it's about a 30-minute walk to Taichung Station, Carrefour, the National Museum o...
Luxury hotels in Taichung
Although it was a 5-minute walk from the main street, it was worth visiting this hotel. Clean and spacious rooms, a good enough gym, and a swimming pool for a short stay. I would definitely recommend it.

Had a fantastic experience overall, with exceptional cleanliness and friendly staff that made my stay enjoyable. The hot water was always reliable, and housekeeping kept everything tidy and fresh. The amenities provided were impressive, adding to the comfort of the stay. The location was decent, though it could be slightly better for easy access to attractions. Overall...

The hotel's service attitude is friendly, and the facilities are complete. The rooms are kept very clean, and the views are also satisfactory, making it suitable for travelers seeking convenience and comfort. Overall, the ex...
It's not close to the center of Taichung City, so you need to call a car to get in. The view from the hot spring windows and pictures does not do it justice; it's not all a tree view, and from the angle of soaking in the hot spring, you can't see the scenery at all. Breakfast is very plentiful, and there are several restaurants in the hotel, including a buffet, Western...
Second visit. 1. Although the building is old, it actually had a nice vintage charm. 2. The cleanliness was impressive. 3. The bed was particularly comfortable and cozy, which made it even better. 4. There were plenty of options for breakfast at a reasonable price. The intern staff member who spoke Korean was very kind and even packed a lunch for me, which was ...
I had an amazing experience at Windsor Hotel Taichung. The room was spotless and very well maintained. The atmosphere was peaceful, making it perfect for relaxation after a long day. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Location is convenient, just a short taxi ride to the night market. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Taichung!
I enjoyed that there were plenty of things to do and enjoy, like the Riparo Land Water Park, amusement park, outlet, and Ferris wheel. It was nice that I could leave my luggage at the lobby before check-in and after check-out. The staff was very friendly. Additionally, it was cheaper for the hotel to call a taxi than to use the app. The food court on the 3rd floor of O...
The bus arrived, and crossing the suspension bridge to the hotel and climbing the stairs made it difficult for the elderly to move while carrying their suitcases. However, when we arrived, the staff was very kind and helpful. The next day, after checking out, we were given a ride to the bus stop by the hotel's car. Thank you!

Real reviews for hotels
The city is improving in buildings, entertainment and food. Nice scenic area in Taichung region and surrounding, good for day trips.
Awesome place to visit, with lots of awesome food. Stuff here are generally cheaper than taipei. Night market offers more variety and better food compared to taipei.
Taichung is modern yet does not feel like a stressful, buzzing city. The people are really nice and helpful, and you won't have any trouble finding sincere cab drivers who are not out to make extra money from you.
easy to travel from Taipei city. just take the HSR and you can reach there by an hour. People are very friendly and warm.
It is recommended to stay near to the train station. Fengchia night market is a must-visit place. One can also visit the Rainbow village and Gao Mei Shi Di.
The people here i meat all very friendly and helpful. They also like to give compliment. The restaurant staff can give very good customer service, friendly.
People are helpful when you asked them where you like to visit and they show you the way. Even they do not know, they google for me.
People are very nice when we asked the location that we would like to go, even they cannot show us the direction, they google the place to us and indicate us how to go.
it is a very lively city with a lot of interesting place for me to explore. Will come back for my 3rd visit.
A famous city of Taiwan. Lots of outdoor activities you can do in Taichung. A nice place for relax.
Nothing much in Taichung. Even the locals feel that there's nothing much to do there. Traveling around Taichung is inconvenient as there's no metro available.
A very "user friendly" city that is increasingly catering for the tourist trade with multi-lingual menus etc
Simple city similar to Taipei but less advanced. But is because of this, the city do have quite a few rural areas worth visiting.
Sun biscuits. Must visit Kwan Ti temple with huge Kwan Ti statute as well as Mazu temple about 5mins walk from Kwan Ti temple.
Taichung is a shopping paradise with the biggest night market in Taiwan. It is pretty easy to access the different areas via their public transportation.
Loved the lavender farm, but it is a really far drive from the city area. Enjoyed the spacious city, with old buildings and food can be found almost everywhere.
This place only have famous place Fengjia night market and Miyahara ice cream. I think many peaople go there only transit to go to Nantou City (sun moon lake, Cengjing farm etc)
Cingjing and SML is near Taichung. Hence, it will be good if you can visit these 2 areas as well for sightseeing and relaxation! Taichung night market are nice.
Taichung is a very busy area; more so than Taipei. Considering the transport methods, it's not as organized and convenient as Taipei for a non-Chinese/Taiwanese speaker.
Taichung is building their metro system, the road is bad, the taxi is bad services too, so wait until the metro built then will be good to go again.
There is only one night market that worth going in the evening. Shopping centres are just fine. Not much historical place of interest and therefore not worth to stay long in the city.
Suggested to take Public Transport instead of Car/Van rental for Solo travelers , May get the "YouYou" Card at 7-11 and topup the credit, TWD100 is enough for 3day 2 night as the Public Transport (BUS) is FOC for the first 8KM travel.
A good stop-over for travels to the outskirts of Taichung; Dakeng Carton King, Moncoeur, Gaomei Wetlands.
I will definitely go visit again soon. Modern high-rise buildings, apartments. and public museums. Wow, not bad for a 3 Days 2 Night trip
If you are travelling to Taichung, you've got to travel out to the suburb areas, do not just stay within the city.
Because the attractions are not compact, car rentals (with or without driver) may be the best mode to travel around the cities, though finding a parking lot could be tortuous as in other big cities.
I highly recommend the bicycle trails in taichung. 台中后豐鐵馬道. Do yourself a favor and choose an electric bike as the distance can be up to 10.
There many buses available but need to know the route first before you board. There a few cinema in the shopping malls but the price was not cheap.
The town planning for Taichung is better than old Taipei. The spaces are well designated and buildings are not cramped up or congested.
went there mainly for the feng chia night market. the night market is one of the best that I went in Taiwan.
Taichung hotels with breakfast
The room was spacious and had a swimming pool and game room, which my 6-year-old liked. However, the sofa was a fabric one and smelled a bit when sitting on it, which was a bit off-putting. The bed was on the hard side, so I couldn't sleep well the first night, but after that, I seemed to adjust and had no issues. I enjoyed the breakfast.
The impression of the staff who assisted me was very good. There was a wide variety of choices for the breakfast buffet, and the inclusion of late-night snacks made it a great value. Personally, the bed mattress and pillow suited me well, which was satisfying enough on its own. Although the hallways were a bit dated compared to the exterior of the building, the room it...
I really enjoyed my stay at the villa this time! There were no noise issues, and there was plenty of privacy; the room layout was perfect. The living room, bedroom, and bathroom are separate! The three-piece bathroom is great, and I loved the large bathtub and double sinks. The two single beds are also ideal for a trip with girlfriends! There's a FamilyMart nearby, whi...
The breakfast is delicious and there are a lot of varieties. There's a Family Mart attached on the first floor, which I used frequently, and the Chun Su Dang main branch is a 5-minute walk away, where I enjoyed milk tea and Kung Fu noodles. If I come to Taichung again, I will use it again.
I traveled with friends and booked 2 rooms. The express check-in and check-out via kiosk were great, and the location right next to Ximen Station is excellent for accessibility!! The facilities were all clean and nice, but one drawback was that the breakfast was a bit (very slightly) lacking. Hehe.
The Taichung train station and a shopping mall are next to each other. Since it is located in the center, famous restaurants and shops are also nearby, making it convenient to walk around. The room was comfortable and well-cleaned. The table was very large, making it comfortable to use.
I originally stayed at a hotel nearby for one night, but while walking around, I found this hotel to be clean and pretty, so I booked another night. It was cleaner than I expected. The room size is sufficient to accommodate two suitcases, and there is also a desk. Both the wardrobe and bathroom were spotless. Not only the front desk but all the staff were friendly. I a...
Compared to the business hotel in Taipei, this is much better. The room is larger than I expected, and I can fully open my suitcase. There is a mini-bar with snacks, tea bags, and four types of drinks in the fridge. There is also a water dispenser on the same floor for self-service. The queen bed is comfortable and clean, with two pillows to choose from. As soon as you...
Although it was a 5-minute walk from the main street, it was worth visiting this hotel. Clean and spacious rooms, a good enough gym, and a swimming pool for a short stay. I would definitely recommend it.
This stay experience was fantastic! The hotel has a great location, convenient transportation, and complete surrounding facilities. The front desk staff was very friendly, and check-in and check-out were very efficient. The room was spacious and clean, the bed was soft and comfortable, and the sound insulation was excellent, allowing for a particularly peaceful sleep. ...
I requested a high floor or a quiet room, but I was assigned a room on the lowest floor facing the road, which was somewhat uncomfortable due to the noise from passing vehicles while trying to sleep! The large window was nice, but the low floor meant I couldn't open the curtains! The refrigerator's cooling was weak! The bed was clean! You can watch YouTube on the TV, a...
This time, the booking includes breakfast and late-night snacks, and there are many restaurants nearby. It takes about ten minutes to walk to Fengjia Night Market, where we can eat well every day. 7-11 and FamilyMart are across the hotel. The hotel facilities are new and clean, and there is a drinking water dispenser. The room also has free snacks and drinks. Although ...

The hotel's service attitude is friendly, and the facilities are complete. The rooms are kept very clean, and the views are also satisfactory, making it suitable for travelers seeking convenience and comfort. Overall, the ex...
The renovation is well done, it feels clean, and everything necessary is provided, making the room very user-friendly. It's conveniently located about a 5-minute walk from the station. There is a bathtub and a washlet. The staff all wear masks, showing concern for hygiene, and everyone is friendly. I received a lot of help from Cliff and Linda, and it was a relief to h...
Second visit. 1. Although the building is old, it actually had a nice vintage charm. 2. The cleanliness was impressive. 3. The bed was particularly comfortable and cozy, which made it even better. 4. There were plenty of options for breakfast at a reasonable price. The intern staff member who spoke Korean was very kind and even packed a lunch for me, which was ...
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was very spacious, with a large living room and two bathrooms, which made it extremely comfortable. The automatic blinds were a great touch and added a modern, luxurious feel, and the bathrooms were amazing—clean, stylish, and well designed. The restaurant was another highlight, offering an incredible view that made dining...
I was very satisfied with the price. The location is also close to the Fengjia Night Market, about a 10-minute walk. The parking is available both in the hotel basement and outdoors. Whether it was remodeled or the building is relatively new, the rooms and bathrooms are clean and tidy. I have always been dissatisfied with the weak water pressure in Taiwanese hotels, bu...
The size and cleanliness of the room were sufficient. There were two free bottles of water. Bath towels were provided. There was also a hairdryer. Cups were available. There were no other amenities, so items like a toothbrush set need to be prepared. The bath was a room with only a shower, so I would like to consider a room with a bathtub next time. The breakfast was a...
The luxury double room on the upper floor has a spacious and comfortable bed, bright lighting, and a huge TV screen. Unfortunately, it lacks a vanity! The breakfast buffet is a bit disappointing; please lower the sugar! The third floor has a small gym and booking for the sauna as well as a children's playroom. The location is great, with many food options right downsta...
The room is spacious for the price. The facilities are not bad, but one disappointment is the mold in the bathroom. However, it's quiet, and for me, the transportation is excellent. Most importantly, the staff can assist in Japanese, which gives me peace of mind. I will be staying again at the end of this month. Thank you! 🙏
This is my first time staying at the Bigen Feng Chia Hotel. The lobby is spacious and clean, and the staff is very friendly. The room type has two single beds, and it’s bright with a window, which perfectly matches my ideal. It’s close to Feng Chia University, and I don't worry about breakfast because there's plenty to eat. I can also stroll around the university, and ...
The night market is close, so you can walk there. It's great to buy things at the night market, at the supermarket (PX Mart) right in front of you, or even at 7-Eleven. Then you can heat them up in the microwave in your room and relax while enjoying a meal in your room. The bus stop right in front of you has buses going everywhere, so if you use an app to manage your b...
The location is quite nice, close to the bus stop and also Geng Chia market. The room is good and clean.
The location was excellent. This time I didn't have enough time to explore leisurely, but there was a market and nearby convenience stores and pharmacies, which were very convenient. I thought it was an old establishment, but the facilities were clean, and it didn't have the plumbing smell often found in older five-star hotels. Compared to the hotel I stayed at in anot...
The staff are friendly and always greet you when you meet them. The location is highly recommended without a doubt. Breakfast is free and they provide tickets for it. There are convenient facilities nearby, making it very useful. Especially since the air conditioning in the room is very cool, it's nice to go back to the accommodation and rest for a bit before heading o...
The staff at the front desk are very friendly and provide guidance in English. The interior of the accommodation is spacious, and the windows are very large with an open view, which is nice. Overall, the cleanliness is also very satisfactory, and the bed is very comfortable. 👍
My husband is someone who values night markets. I also think the mattress and cleanliness are important. However, this place had a great location near the market, and the staff were friendly. The breakfast was also diverse, and I felt that the price was a bit higher than I expected, but looking at the surrounding hotels, it seems that such a place is rare.
It was a unique experience compared to other hotels. The bed was on the second floor, which was comfortable and nice. However, the room space was a bit small, so it could feel a little cramped, but it wasn't too bad. Overall, it was a satisfying hotel.
Early check-in is absolutely not allowed. If I visit Taichung again or if there is another hotel like this in another area, I am 100% willing to visit. The restroom in the lobby on the first floor is very pretty and luxurious. Even though I chose a room that wasn't too expensive, I was satisfied with the large bed, cleanliness, and elegant interior, and above all, ...
It is very close to Fengjia Night Market, but it is actually quite quiet when returning to the hotel at night. The hotel has the wooden floors that I like, is overall clean, and has a surprisingly good variety of breakfast options, both Western and Chinese. The staff is friendly, helping us with parking and even finding a small blanket that our child left behind. I am ...
