Xindian District hotels & accommodations

The staff at this hotel went above and beyond to help me. I left my bag in the taxi on the way there. They helped me get it back! Someone put a child lock on the tv, so they offered to give me another room immediately. The hot spring in the room was heavenly. The breakfast staff was so accommodating. I was on a business trip. I was very pleased with the neighborhood. ...

Value for money, huge room and nice and clean. However, the hallway where my room was stunk of cigarette smoke. My room was clean and smelled great though. Food was very 'Eastern', more western options would have been nice like Bacon, Eggs and Toast. Coffee was good though. Staff made me stand outside their office when I was being booked in, and I was not invited in. ...

I put down 3 stars for value of money only because I stayed over on New Year's Eve and it was quite expensive (which probably went towards the free champagne and fruits as welcome gift). I'd probably give it a higher rating, because the hotel is very new and its room was spacious. The design of the room was simple and modern, with a huge desk and (king?) size bed, whic...

The hotel is a reasonable 5-7 minute walk from the metro train at Xindian. You walk across the suspension bridge to get there, through two charming little neighborhoods with ample street food. Very safe and pleasant. The hotel serves an amazing breakfast, and there are all sorts of food options for other meals at every price point. There was not heat in the hotel, a...

The hotel is about 15mins walk from MRT station (Xindian Terminal Station). You can enjoy the beautiful scenery and enjoy the fresh air while walking to the hotel or heading to the MRT station.

15 minute taxi ride from XinDian MRT station, and you are out in the beautiful mountains, very relaxing hotel, at the end of a side road, so it was very peaceful with amazing scenery.
