Simple and clean room, with nice new overlooking the mountain especially when sunrise. ”

Location, not the nearest but walking distance to Taichung Main Train station. City view not much but the distance view of mountain as city backdrop, awesome, especially when sunrise. Good morning Taichung. Oh, and walking distance from the famous Miyahara: hint - best craft ice-cream.

It was a great hotel at Taichung 🥰 Super love, location was perfect. Gancheng station right in front of the hotel (left side), Nantou bus counter just 5 min walk, if u want to visit Qinjing/Sun Moon Lake. Room was big & clean, staff was nice. One girl even explain to me the direction clearly with English.

Decent Stay, Good Location”

I took the bus from Taichung HSR to hotel which took 40 mins, hotel is just stone throw away from Gancheng Bus stop (干城站). Check in was fast, room was clean and spacious & all basic amenities are provided. Wifi was good. I didnt try the breakfast. It is walking distance to TRA and there are few good shops around the area (for food). Also, the Nantou Bus to Cingjing & Sun Moon Lake is just within walking distance of hotel. Just need to exit the hotel, turn left and walk down two rows of shops to the Nantou bus ticketing shop 南投客運 (you wouldn't miss it, there'll be a lot of buses and people queuing up). Note that there is no advance ticket sales, you will have to go queue and buy ticket on that day itself. You can also get to Fengchia market using bus 25 or 35, but you'll need to cross the road to the other Gancheng bus stop.

Very near to Taichung Bus Station and Taichung park”

Pro: very near to Gancheng Bus Station & Taichung Bus Station (400m) & Taichung Park (very cool park, many birds, pigeons and squirrel here) Cons: need to take bus to Fengjia Night Market. Miyahara (about 600m), and Taichung 1st and 2nd market (about 800m). Still a 10mins walking distance only thou. Hotel is VERY clean and VERY spacious. The bathroom is enormous!! Coffee sachet provided at rooms is excellent. And the price is most valuable to me for the triple room. And Agoda provide the cheapest of them all and you pay nothing until 3 days prior to arrival date. Please take a note that this hotel "probably" only available for advance booking up to 3 months ahead.

Excellent location - walking distance from Taichung train station (you can spot 博奇饭店 greyish sign board from the station and walk towards it). Gancheng bus station is conveniently located in front of the hotel, you can download Taichung Bus Tracker app to help you navigate bus routes. There are also a few long distance bus operators near the hotel to take you to Cingjing farm and Sun-moon Lake.

The time I visited they have changed their name to Palmer Hotel, as during the booking the name was VIP hotel. They just recently finished the renovation and you could feel it looks brand new. The bed is comfy, the room is big enough for 2 ppl. 711 is quite far but the HiLife (another convenient store) just few shops away.

Great location - 8 mins walk to the Taichung Train Station, 3 mins walk to Gancheng bus station (actually just a bus stop) and many bus agencies like Nantou Bus along the same main road.
