Taitung Hostels

Really enjoyed our stay at Norden. Facilities are ‘hostel’ like so you have access to kitchen, laundry, cafe and even a common area with books and tea area. We got upgraded to a family room which had two huge king beds and a pretty good view. The room was comfy and well equipped. Location super prime - lots of food and a wet market just down the road. Night market is nearby but it wasn’t open on Tuesday so we didn’t visit. Basically everything was walking distance since Tai Tung is so small. Reception is also very friendly and helped us call for a taxi to the train station which came in just 5mins. Overall would recommend and will be back again.

I was already deeply attracted by the unique and tranquil environment of the hotel, but I was even more surprised to find a 'traveler's storybook' in the room! Reading the various sad, happy, or bewildered stories left by past guests who stayed in the same room deeply moved me to tears. I gained immense energy from your stories. Thank you, hotel, for this warm and thoughtful gesture. If I ever have the chance to travel solo to Taitung again, I will definitely stay here once more!! 🥹

I had a wonderful stay: perfect location in the city center, very nice and comfortable room, kind staff. They provided a voucher to have breakfast at the coffeeshop in front, or even bought breakfast for us. Would definitely stay here again!

Overall, it was a very comfortable experience. The bed was super comfortable, but the curtains didn't block out much light, so I woke up in the morning in the bright sunshine 😅. There's a really nice brunch place nearby, which made the experience even better.

I was very surprised as from the few pictures I have seen it looked small but in fact I found the small room they offer rather enough. The bathroom was huge. The bed is nice too. The reception and the breakfast rooms are well decorated and very enjoyable. Great location on top of that ! Nearby night market. And a great thanks to the young man at the reception who took time to help me park my big car.

Located right next to the Music Village and the bus station which was super practical. I didn’t know it would be a self check-in, so it was a little hard to find but the process itself was easy. The dorm bathroom setup wasn’t great, especially because the shower makes the whole floor wet, not fun when you’re using the toilet. The sinks are outside the bathroom which is nice when it’s occupied but makes a lot of sound for others in the room. The bed was comfortable enough and the curtains and individual charging area with a light were nice. I found it annoying to go to the centre nearby to pick up the locker key but it’s also where I stored my luggage, which felt quite secure since they put a tag on it. I didn’t realize there wasn’t any elevator, so I had to drag my luggage to the third floor. There’s a water station in the “lobby” area on the first floor. It was very inexpensive for one night!

Pros: well established Naruwan Group. Fantastic shower water pressure after a tiring day. Cons: the original booked hotel was closed for upgrading and i was not informed. The whole building was closed when i arrived. I immediately call the hotel through trip.com and the receptionist informed that they has arranged for a room at the hotel next door (also Naruwan Group’s hotel). I was expecting a paddy field view room but i was assigned to the room facing heavy industrial lots. Other than that, it was a good stat at Naruwan Hotel and value for money.

I had a pleasant stay at Traveller Inn Tiehua Cultural and Creative Hotel 4 years ago, so thought I'd try Traveller Inn Tiehua Cultural and Creative Hotel II this time, as they are located near to each other, very close to the bus station and Tiehua Village. This is a great location to explore the city. However, other than the superb location and the bigger room, there isn't much else to love about this hotel. There was literally no service at this branch. Staff were not welcoming and unlike other hotels in Taiwan, they do not greet guests when you are at the lobby. I also never saw any of them smile at guests. In fact, on my first day of check-in, I was blatantly told to check in at Traveller Inn Tiehua Cultural and Creative Hotel instead, because ”the hotel is closed for the day”. When I asked how come I was not informed earlier, the staff answered ”because you don't have a Taiwan mobile number”. This is absurd to me, isn't there the Trip.com messaging service where you can contact guests? Very disappointed with the way they handle such cases, no apology at all, and just gives a very transactional feeling. The only time I encountered a staff who greeted me was at the breakfast restaurant. Room amenities and facilities look like they need proper maintenance, and the windows were so dirty. The bed was also not very comfortable to sleep on. Lastly, I know Taiwan hotel breakfasts are usually not so nice compared to eating out in the breakfast shops, but the quality of the breakfast was really bad. Seasonal fresh fruit selection was only watermelon on 1 morning, and guava + watermelon on another. In conclusion, very disappointed with my stay here this time. Will definitely think twice about returning to Traveller Inn Tiehua Cultural and Creative Hotel II the next time I visit Taitung again.

The hotel is conveniently located near the city center. It offers parking, though it's a bit far. The bathroom was very spacious. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Taitung. Thank you.

The front desk staff were excellent; they upgraded my room due to renovations. There's a coffee machine on the first floor for guests to use. Adding 100 NTD for the all-you-can-eat buffet breakfast on the 10th floor is very convenient. It's also very close to the tourist night market. I'll definitely choose this accommodation again next time I'm in Taitung.
