Taichung South District Hotels

The location of the hotel is situated near many bus stations, which is considered quite convenient as we are in Taichung and not everywhere is accessible by MRT. However, the hotel looked more worn out than expected. While it’s not too narrow, the amenities could be improved with newer replacements. There is no separation between the toilet and the shower, so it’s hard to ensure the toilet is dry all the time.

I did not expect this accommodation to be a motel based on its Chinese name, so it was a bit of a surprise when I checked in. The location is very convenient, which is a big plus. However, the overall environment had a slight smell of cigarette smoke. The room itself was spacious, but for guests arriving on foot, the access route is not very intuitive—you need to go down to the basement first and then enter through the parking garage, which makes the circulation feel somewhat inconvenient.

The hotel's location is excellent, with convenient access to amenities and transportation. The room was larger than expected, and I felt quite comfortable and relaxed upon arrival. The only downside was that the pillows were a bit too soft and lacked support, which was uncomfortable for me. Offering pillows with different firmness options would have been ideal. Overall, it was a good stay.

The room was very clean. The bathroom also appeared to be renovated, and everything was spotless.

Very Good!

Hotel is located just 2 mins always from train station, very convenient for transfer any public transportation. And The main reason i choose this property because it’s just across to my favourite Foam Cat Cafe. I can see it from window room. 7-11 just a minute away. Breakfast not many varieties but ok for local hotel. Staffs are very helpful and good English Skill.

I had a pleasant stay at Norway Forest Hotel in Taichung. The location is excellent, just a short walk from Taichung Train Station, which makes traveling around the city very convenient. There are also many restaurants and convenience stores nearby. The room was clean, modern, and comfortable. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was clean with good water pressure. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout the stay. The hotel also has a playground for children, which is great for families, as well as laundry and drying facilities, very convenient for longer stays. Overall, this hotel offers great value for money and I would recommend it to travelers visiting Taichung.

*Location: Right across from Taichung Railway Station (Taiwan Boulevard side), below is the Global Village English, Japanese, and Korean cram school. Loosha Hostel is located upstairs from the 8th to 12th floor. *Service: Check-in is from 7 AM to 10:30 PM. The staff are all very friendly. If you need room cleaning, just inform them at the front desk. *Facilities: This hostel offers 2-person dorm rooms with private bathrooms and showers, as well as multi-person rooms and family rooms. The check-in lobby is on the 12th floor, featuring comfortable sofas by the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the train station, and bean bags. Each floor also has comfortable sofa areas, and there's a yoga room. The top floor even has an activity space for guests to enjoy their vacation more. Guests must change into indoor slippers at the shoe cabinet by the elevator on their accommodation floor, according to their room number, and place their own shoes in the corresponding shoe cabinet. Room cards are required for entry and exit. After 10:30 PM, the main elevator entrance downstairs also requires a room card for access. Each floor has an automatic water dispenser, a laundry area with washing machines on the balcony, and drying racks. Every bed also has a safe. What's most surprising is that each room (bed) has a storage pouch containing pencils, colored pencils, notebooks, sticky notes, etc. This allows guests to leave their travel stories and also read others' stories. It's very creative and makes solo travelers feel less lonely. [Heart emojis x3] *Bed: The firmness is just right, and the quilt is clean, hygienic, and comfortable. *Soundproofing: I've stayed here twice, each time for about a week. The soundproofing is decent; the only concern is if your roommates are noisy. Also, room 1106A was very noisy, and the outdoor sign light stayed on all night, disturbing sleep. *WiFi: Almost every hotel/guesthouse in Taiwan has excellent WiFi. [Thumbs up emojis x3] *Value for Money: The price is typical for a backpacker hostel, but since this one offers 2-person rooms, it might be slightly more expensive. However, I think it's very good value. So, the next time I visit Taichung, I'll choose Loosha Hostel again. [Thumbs up emojis x3]

I chose this hotel because it is a two-minute walk from Taichung station. There are plenty of places to eat nearby, including the famous ice cream place Miyahara. The laundry room has two washing machines and two dryers. I chose a windowless room, it was a great size for one person, and I couldn't hear my neighbours.
