Just live inn - New Dahua

the outside building looks pretty old, but the inside is totally another another level after renovation. the stay was pleasant, just that the bed was a bit too soft, other than that everything is good.

We like the location which is very close to the MiaoKou food street and also the cruise centre that we still start our voyage to Japan. We were “upgraded” to a bigger with two queen bed, but however we were not able to sleep on the other bed. ( as shown on photo; no blanket & pillows etc) But nonetheless , room & toilet are clean, with friendly & helpful staffs.

Clean, nice if can checked in faster would be great but everythings good.

The hotel is called Dahua Hotel as per Google map. The surrounding area is very run down, but then Keelung city is indeed a very old city. The reception is manned throughout but very run down. The only elevator is very old and has a musky smell. Entering the very univiting hotel building feels like taking a risk to enter a ******* building (we arrived at night at 9pm). It was the May Day holidays so the room costs a lot more. I passed by many similar class hotels and the exterior were just as bad. Renovations were still ongoing but did not create much noise or disturbance. Hopefully the owner will also renovate the reception area and the exterior of the building There were no seating area for guests at the reception and also no toilets available tp use except in your room. We booked a standatd twin room and it was a pleasant surprise to see two queen sized beds. The room was renovated and spacious. ex However there were no luggage holder so you will have to place your suitcase on the floor. Location was convenient. From the hotel, turning left leads you to Sankeng train station (5 minutes walk), which is very convenient to get to Shifen waterfall or Ruifang station. Turning right will lead you to Miaokou night market as well as the Renai morning market. The bus stop at Zhongsi Road (opposite the Renai market) is just 5 minutes walk and bus 791 (coastal route) will bring you directly to Bitoujiao, enroute you can also visit Zhengbin colorful houses, Heping park, Badouzi area.

Good location, close to train station to get to Jiufen. Close to bus to Yehliu geopark. WiFi is great. Little noisy from hallways. Entry alley is not that scary as some people claim :-)
