Moonsset INN Taitung-Tiehua Xiutai Branch

The location is super convenient! It's an easy walk to Tiehua Village and Zhongshan Road/Zhonghua Road for souvenir shopping, and also close to the night market and local market. We booked a 4-person room with two double beds, and it was very comfortable for sleeping. They offer a simple afternoon tea with some snacks, and the supper spread is quite generous – it could even double as dinner. However, since we were out exploring the night market, we didn't try it. Breakfast was simple but filling. The hotel also has a lift-style parking garage. If you're not comfortable with that, there's a flat-rate paid parking lot right next door. We parked there from 3 PM to 8 AM the next day for 160 NTD. It was worth the extra cost for peace of mind and convenience, as we could easily drop off our shopping in the car without lugging it around.

The hotel is conveniently located near Taitung Transfer Station, with a night market and convenience store just a stone's throw away. They also offer a good variety of late-night snacks. However, the room facilities were damaged; there was no hand soap, and the sink was cracked and leaking, requiring staff to temporarily patch it up with silicone sealant. The shower drain was slow, and the safe was out of order. I doubt I'd stay here again.

Originally, I booked an economy quad room, but I was upgraded to a standard quad room, which had a window and a larger space, not just a shared bunk bed setup. The most attractive feature of this hotel is that it offers breakfast, lunch, snacks, and late-night supper. Basically, you can eat your fill here without spending a dime! 🤣 The breakfast was very satisfying with a wide variety of delicious options, and the late-night supper was also very generous, even offering 'Mi Tai Mu' (Hakka thick rice noodles) and instant noodles that you can cook yourself. What's more, the air conditioning seemed to have some kind of air freshener added, so the room always smelled pleasant. The hotel's location is very close to Taitung City center, Tiehua Village, and Zhengqi Road, but it's not noisy. We stayed on the 9th floor, and the soundproofing from outside was pretty good. However, the soundproofing between rooms was just average; sometimes, you could hear sounds from the adjacent rooms. The only minor drawback is the underground parking lot. It's quite small and a bit old, requiring a car lift to go down. The underground parking was converted from mechanical parking to flat spaces, so the parking spots are limited and it's a bit intimidating. Aside from that, it seems you can also choose to park in an outdoor parking lot that the hotel partners with. However, both the outdoor and underground parking are first-come, first-served until full. If there's no space, you'll have to find and pay for parking yourself. Overall, if I come to Taitung again, I would still choose this hotel.

Located in Taitung City's most bustling and convenient area, it's within walking distance to popular attractions and eateries like Tiehua Village, the night market, Blue Dragonfly, and Lin Family Stinky Tofu. Plus, they offer afternoon tea, late-night snacks, and breakfast, making it excellent value for money.

My stay was fantastic! The room was clean and tidy, well-equipped, and the bed was very comfortable. The front desk staff were friendly and efficient, making the check-in process quick and smooth. The location is convenient with good amenities nearby, and the breakfast was quite extensive. Overall, it offers great value for money. The only downside was a faint odor when I first entered the room – not exactly unpleasant, but not great either. However, I got used to it quickly. I would definitely choose this hotel again for my next visit.

The facilities are complete and new. The room rate is great value, including breakfast, late-night snacks, and afternoon tea. The location is very close to PX Mart and Carrefour. The only downside is that if you drive an SUV, the parking lot is a bit far from the hotel.
