Chiayi City Hotels with Kitchens

"I chose An Lan Jie Hotel primarily for its location, and it did not disappoint. It's literally a 3-5 minute walk from Chiayi Train Station and the bus pick-up point for Alishan . If you're planning an early morning trip up the mountain, you simply cannot beat this convenience. There's also a Family Mart right across the street and plenty of local eateries nearby . The staff were a highlight—genuinely friendly, helpful, and spoke good English . They provided clear instructions for self-check-in (the whole place uses digital door codes, so you don't need to worry about losing a key card) . I stayed in a private room, which was clean, comfortable, and exactly as pictured. The common area on the 14th floor is a real bonus—it's beautifully decorated, has a great city view, and offers free tea and coffee for guests . The bed was comfortable, and the Wi-Fi worked well . A few small things to note: the bathrooms are functional but can be a bit compact [7]. Also, be aware that towels aren't provided (you can rent one for a small fee), so you might want to bring your own . Overall, this is a fantastic, budget-friendly option for solo travelers or couples who prioritize location and cleanliness. It’s the perfect base for exploring Chiayi and catching that first bus to Alishan. I would definitely stay here again."

"I stayed in the backpacker hostel on the second floor and have a few suggestions for the kitchen. There are two sinks but only one scourer, so if two people need to wash up, one has to wait. Also, I used to see dishcloths available for wiping down the counters and sinks, but now there are none. If there's oil or water on the surface, you can only use paper towels. And previously, there were plates, bowls, spoons, and chopsticks for serving food, but now you have to go down to the basement to get them. These are all very inexpensive items, and it's a shame they're no longer available in the kitchen."

"This time, I stayed in a bunk bed quad room on a Friday night. The room generally looked clean, but there was dust around the headboard. If you have allergies, this might not be suitable for you. This was my first time staying here, in a bunk bed quad room on the third floor. What was really bothersome was the terrible soundproofing. The noise from above, below, and next door was very noticeable, with a motor sound keeping me up all night. Guests on the same floor slammed their doors shut very loudly. I could also clearly hear people walking upstairs. I saw reviews saying it's backpacker-friendly, but if you're looking for comfort, this probably isn't a good choice. The next morning, around 7 AM, guests on the same floor started checking out. Housekeeping was also very quick to clean the rooms, but this disturbed us as we weren't ready to check out yet. Housekeeping didn't seem to care if there were still guests, opening and closing doors very loudly while cleaning. I think when closing the door, they could just gently guide it shut. Unfortunately, they didn't, and this noise continued until past 9 AM. I felt this whole experience made for a very unpleasant stay. The noise was genuinely incredibly loud. It's a backpacker-friendly hostel, but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with poor sleep quality."

"I love that this place is near from the transportation and tourist spot, everything is walkable. Aside from that the staff is accommodating. If you're more concerned with its safety this hostel is a best choice. Definitely a best hostel when visiting in Chiayi"
