Taitung Travel

My reservation was from booking.com It was a shared room for 4 people. In the pictures I was supposed to have a room with a window and big room, but I got a very small room with out a window. I dont care about windows if the room smells good but in this case the room super stinky. They put some toilet spray so it make it worse. I ask for change a room but they ask for more money. After that they said there is no room whit window and I can cancel but where they expecting from me to go so late?! They dont speak English.

We stayed here in April 2016 for 2 nights. It's in a central location of Taitung, which is good, as it is within walking distance to lots of street shopping, a night market, and a day (cai si cang - veggies market, so like a wet market) market. We stayed here because the weekend that we were here, there was an international marathon of some sort so all the nicer hotels were either booked up or prohibitively expensive. This place was clean but didn't feel that safe and the particular floor we were esp. did not feel as safe. It was very budget-like, so basic, and a bit run down to tell the truth. This was the worst hotel/motel/hostel (min-su) we stayed in during our 18 days in Taiwan on a round-the-island trip, so it was a little more disappointing than other places we stayed for about the same price or just a little more, but overall it was acceptable. The bathroom was older and could use updating, but clean enough. The bedding was a bit worn and the furniture also, but all in all, it was acceptable for a couple of nights stay during a sporting event weekend in Taitung which increased the prices of hotels all over town.

I chose this hotel because of the location and also within my budget. I was alone, therefore I asked the hotel helped me book a taxi for a day tour. Its turned out to be a wonderful one. My driver was very informative, and also drove me to the scenic coast line to explore the places of interest. This hotel with the basic facility. Room was big and quiet, bed was comfortable and with basic toiletry. You need to talk a public transport (bus) and taxi to this hotel. As its not close to the train station. However, this hotel was located at the town side, you are able to access the park. and also nearby the public bus stop. You can take a public bus to the coast line of the places of interest. But, you have to monitor your time of the bus schedule. That was the reason I hired a taxi to drive me around. And this hotel also allow his guests to borrow a bicycle at FOC. The local market was just behind the hotel , its just about 10 minutes walking distance. And many eateries were surrounded the hotel. This hotel did provide the breakfast, but , not a problem. As nearby many local small shops are selling good breakfast. I will be back for my next visiting.

For the price we pay, this is a simple and Ok hotel with everything you can expect from a Budget hotel. The room is considered clean though the furniture is dated. The location is central and staff are friendly. One thing surprised us was that rate on the site was lower than what we booked from web. So, you can just walk in in Low Seasons.

Clean room, bathroom and toilet. Towels, sheets and toiletries changed daily. Rooms are, ofcourse, small given this is a budget hotel and depending on which room you get you may not get a window with a "view" (I am not sure if any rooms have a "view"). A/C works okay; Wifi is free but a bit sketchy ... comes and goes ... No breakfast option but each room has a Hot water kettle for Tea and coffee. My room had a mini fridge too but it wasn't working. Placed centrally, near the night market and major road intersection. This hotel is very close to 7-11 and shopping plazas. The reception provides a map to subway and starbucks, if any one needs :D ...PizzaHut delivery is also available. Please note, very very few people speak english but they are Super helpful. I got lost once and one guy went out of his way (literally) to take me back to my hotel. So make sure to keep a map along side all the time. Thats's it.
