Taichung Hotels with Bars

Whenever I'm on a business trip to Taichung, I always stay here. I used to stay at the Howard Plaza Hotel next door, but ever since I discovered this place, there's been no looking back. I love that they have a sauna, and the rooms are spacious, quiet, with a minimalist design, and an open view. The breakfast buffet is also quite good. Once, I chatted with a guest in the elevator who turned out to be a local resident. He uses this hotel as his 'Club House,' coming here for the gym, sauna, and swimming pool – it seems like a great option for him too.

I wrote in my initial booking that this was an Anniversary trip, I was quite surprised that the hotel did not do nor acknowledge such things and that quite bothered me. First impressions do lasts and I also had an incident in their restaurant that serves buffet, where there was a insect (almost cockroach like) in the soup which was honestly very shocking for a 5 star restaurant but the recovery of how they handled was not great and no follow up was done. Overall, I wasn’t as happy staying here as I thought I would. But I won’t definitely be coming back.

This hotel is close to Feng Chia Night Market and offers convenient parking. The rooms are new, clean, and modernly designed, with a great wet/dry separation in the bathroom. The breakfast selection is extensive, and they even offer a late-night snack service, which is a nice touch.

The location of this hotel is excellent, and the staff were consistently friendly, polite, and genuinely tried to help whenever we needed anything. Unfortunately, the hotel itself has some significant issues. Our room had a strong mould smell that was impossible to ignore. This isn’t something that can be solved with air freshener or a quick spray by housekeeping—it points to a deeper moisture problem that requires a proper investment in repairs. Until that is addressed, it seriously affects the comfort of the stay. The food was also disappointing and well below what we expected. We also tried to book a massage during our stay, but every time we went down, there was no one there. The counter staff seemed unsure of what was happening, which made the experience feel disorganized. I want to emphasize that the staff did their best and were always courteous. The problems seem to be with the property and its management rather than the employees. With its excellent location, this hotel has a lot of potential, but it needs to address the mould issue properly and improve some of its facilities and services.

The environment is great and very clean, especially the lobby with board games and old-school arcade games. My friends and I had a lot of fun playing there. As for the room, although a bit small, it was very clean, and the ability to connect the TV to YouTube and Netflix was the most important feature.

A great hotel with high class facilities. Location is convinience to bus stops and 7Eleven. The breakfast buffet is good and the staff is very professional. A very good hotel in Taichung.

The hotel boasts an excellent location, directly opposite SOGO department store. My only minor complaint is that hotels in Taichung generally tend to be a bit older. A huge thank you to the front desk for the complimentary room upgrade!

The service at the counter wasn't great. Is it just because I came from abroad and my attire made you uncomfortable? I'm specifically referring to one waiter, a skinny one with a bob haircut! Their attitude was terrible, and they even dragged other staff members into making fun of customers... OMG... What kind of society is this? ?????? Is it too closed off, or am I too open? Is traveling with my mom a problem? I have no idea! I'm too lazy to even mention the dust! The hotel's PR staff! Trouble! Your check-in quality is truly poor. 😒

Before the ***** New Year, we took a trip to Taichung and stayed at a hotel near Feng Chia Night Market. The location is excellent, right at the entrance of the night market and opposite the university's main gate. Everything else was fine, but they charged an extra NT$180 for our 8-year-old for breakfast. We went down at 10:10 AM and there was almost nothing left, so our child ended up just having half a bowl of braised pork rice. That was really expensive! There's a whole row of breakfast places downstairs, so if you're staying here, definitely don't include breakfast. It's not worth it at all; you're better off trying local breakfast spots or the student-favorite queues. Another point is the lack of parking. They sent us to a contracted parking lot two blocks away, and we still had to pay an additional NT$160 per car. That's really inconvenient and not cost-effective. Other than these issues, everything else was okay. The lobby is on the 12th floor, check-out requires going up, and breakfast is also on the 12th floor, while the rooms are below the 12th floor. This arrangement was fine, I guess.

It wasn't my first time at this hostel. I think it's a good one and the price is cheap. There's a market place close by and a bus stop. Beds are comfy. Just be aware that there are little spaces that bring either other people's light or the window's light. If you're sensitive to that, bring a eyemask. Otherwise, enjoy your stay.
