Alishan Gou Hotel

This hotel is the perfect choice for watching the sunrise in Alishan, as it's conveniently located near the Sister Ponds trail and Zhaoping Railway Station! Although the room is small, it's fully equipped with all the necessary facilities, making for a very comfortable and pleasant stay.

The hotel is conveniently located within the park, making it easy to get around. The rooms are clean and tidy, and the front desk staff are friendly and helpful. They offer luggage storage, and there's a shuttle bus to the visitor center every half hour, which is really convenient. Highly recommended!

The hotel offers a free shuttle bus service from the tourist center, and it's the closest hotel to the Mianyue Line! There are two paths right outside the hotel: one leads to the Mianyue Line entrance, and the other goes to the Giant Tree Group, which is incredibly convenient! However, the train tracks are right outside the room, and the 'ding-ding-ding' sounds early in the morning can be quite disruptive!

The hotel is exceptionally clean and comfortable, with a great atmosphere that makes for a very relaxing stay. The staff are also very friendly, making the overall experience wonderful. Both the rooms and common areas are well-maintained, truly making me want to return and stay again! 👍

I originally booked this hotel because there were no rooms available near Alishan Station, but it turned out to be the right choice for enjoying a stroll around Alishan. It's just a one-minute walk from Zhaoping Station, and the room was clean and comfortable. For dinner, you do need to head to the area around Alishan Station, but there's a shuttle bus, so it's not a problem. If you book the breakfast the day before, you can get bread, boiled vegetables, and fruit for 300 NTD.

Going to Alishan -> Where's the Alishan Hotel? -> Why is the hotel so cheap today? Following this stream of consciousness, I planned my trip around that one strangely cheap day for a hotel, which ended up being a trip to Taichung. There were many reviews, but the location is great, and the view is absolutely fantastic. They even posted the sunrise train schedule for Chaoping Station and the sunrise time in the hotel lobby. There's also a round-trip shuttle to the Alishan Information Center. The hotel room was clean, and they informed me that hot water would be available until midnight, but it was still working fine in the morning. The air conditioner is a combined heating and cooling unit. If you switch the mode correctly, you'll see a 'heat' indicator. It was a bit chilly that day, but I slept warmly. The hotel room is quite spacious, and the bedding is excellent. When booking through Trip.com, it states that you need to call to confirm your reservation two days before your stay. I recommend trying to send an email first. It was a difficult time for both the staff member and me... ㅠㅠ Sending an email resolved it very simply. And for some reason, Trip.com also called me separately regarding the reservation. I'm still not sure if they confirmed the reservation on Trip.com's end and notified me, or if they did it because my initial attempt to use Trip.com's internet call failed. The check-in process was assisted by a male staff member who was very friendly. Thank you! The hotel has a restaurant, but it's entirely reservation-based. I ate dinner outside, so I reserved for breakfast. It was served neatly and simply. In the morning, the door to the stairs is blocked, so you have to use the elevator.

This is the most comfortable hotel I've ever stayed at in a domestic trip. It's clean, tidy, and comfortable. The bed is great, the comforter is soft, and the bathroom and toilet aren't damp at all, which is so nice! The hotel is right on the forest recreation area trail, which is very convenient!
